This should be an excellent discussion. This weird issue has quickly become one of the most important issues in non-compete law because the practical implications are extremely significant. More importantly, the meeting is followed by a happy hour :)

It's 600 A.D. in Britain and the Saxons of Essex found a new territory called Middlesex. By this time, you have the South Saxons (Sussex), East Saxons (Essex), Middle Saxons (Middlesex), and the West Saxons (Wessex). For us in New Jersey, you'll recognize familiar names. Except for one. Why is there no Wessex County in New Jersey? When NJ was in its English-ruled infancy it was split in two, East and West Jersey. In the 1600's East Jersey formed the Counties of Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Monmouth. West Jersey formed Salem and Burlington. As New Jersey unified and developed new Counties, Sussex County was founded in 1753. And for anyone looking at a map, here is my glaring problem with that. Sussex being the northern-most County in the State, its name, to put it politely, is stupid considering its namesake. So stupid in fact that with it being WEST of Essex and Middlesex, naming it Wessex County is just so obvious. Also there was never a "Norsex" (Northern Saxon) kingdom in England, so again Wessex County make sense. Since then, Counties have been partitioned and new were Counties founded, but none were to be named Wessex. Perhaps one day we'll see it become a 22nd County in New Jersey. Oddly enough, a fictional Wessex County, New Jersey does exist and in all places it's the Friday the 13th series. Anyway, this is my short rant on why Sussex should be renamed Wessex County, and New Jersey can form a new 22nd County in South Jersey called Sussex. #NJHistory #Wessex #22ndCounty

This election, like many before it, feels like a sea change. But in truth, it is neither an end nor a beginning. It is simply a step on the long road towards tomorrow – a journey we must travel together. The deep divisions in our society, laid bare by this election, underscore the challenges ahead. It would be easy to succumb to discouragement, to retreat in the face of uncertainty and conflict. But at SFF, we choose to forge ahead with renewed determination. We choose to double down on our commitment to social justice and racial equity, to embrace a vision of a Bay Area – and a nation – where everyone, regardless of background or identity, can thrive. To achieve this vision, we must actively build our collective power – a power fueled by love. Today, we call for a courageous love, a love that fuels our fight for justice and empowers us to dismantle the systems that stand against it. Let’s work together to create a society where everyone can participate, prosper, and reach their full potential. Read full message from CEO Fred Blackwell: https://ow.ly/omWn50U3sJa #LoveAndResolve

The Texas Tribune #with ProPublica #6November2024 : #Trump’s #near #sweep #of #Texas #border #counties shows a shift to the right for #Latino #voters "The former president #captured #55percent #of #Latino #voters #in #the #state, according to exit polls. He also #won14 #out #of #the18 #counties #within #20miles #of #the #border, a number that #doubled his #2020performance in the #Latino-#majority #region." "He #carried #all #four #counties #in #the #Rio #Grande #Valley just eight years after drawing a mere 29% in the region — a feat that included #delivering #97percent #Latino #Starr #County #to #Republicans #for #the #first #time #since1896. And, though #he #lost #El #Paso, one of the border’s most populous counties, he narrowed margins there in ways not seen in decades." "Hamilton said #Latino #voters living #at #or #near #the #border #flocked #to #Trump #over #what #they #see #as the #Biden #administration’s “#collapse #in #border #enforcement #and #failing #to #do #their #job” #by #preventing #more #migrants #from #crossing #into #Texas. #Record #numbers of #arrivals #overwhelmed #border #infrastructure #in #numerous #communities. In Val Verde, some 20,000 mostly #Haitian #migrants arrived almost at once #in2021, forcing officials to shut the international port of entry while they figured out how to respond to the situation. #Public #outcry was #most #acute, Hamilton said, #in #counties #with #high #poverty #rates where #residents were #more #likely to #feel #that their #community was “#being #overrun #by #people that are #even #poorer, #with #even #greater #needs.”

??Today, we celebrate Juneteenth and a groundbreaking step towards racial justice in NY: Governor Hochul and state legislators have established a Reparations Commission to address the legacy of slavery and ongoing inequity. ???? New Yorkers for Reparations (NY4R), a grassroots coalition building the movement for reparations in New York, is gathering signatures and rallying New Yorkers to ensure the commission's success. ? But the work has just begun. The Commission needs widespread support to counter MAGA Republican opposition, who seek to whitewash history and block progress. As the NY4R statement says: "Gov. Hochul and state legislators created this commission in response to the demands of New Yorkers across race and place who know reparations are urgent and necessary for making equality real for Black New Yorkers. And we know that the commissioners selected for the task embody the necessary expertise, experience, and values for giving us a roadmap to righting the wrongs of injustice in our state from its foundation.” Join us in taking action this Juneteenth – ??
