Known on the streets of Berkeley as “the soup lady,” Barbara Brust died Feb. 25 at the age of 69.
Brust founded Consider the Homeless!, or CTH!, shortly after Thanksgiving Day in 2014, when she brought meals to encamped individuals at Provo Park. Since then, the organization has continued to deliver food, clothes and other supplies to Berkeley’s unsheltered population.
Berkeley declared Dec. 1, 2020, as “Barbara Brust Day” in honor of her community work and advocacy for people without housing.
Those closest to Brust described her as a “straight shooter,” a fiercely tender friend and a “bulldozer for justice.”
When CTH! was getting off the ground, Brust did not have any volunteers, outside guidance, nonprofit status or soup recipes that had been tested, according to her friend Deb Bryant.

Since his early days as a lawyer, Wisconsin criminal defense attorney Chad Lanning has been troubled that the state’s jury instructions were not freely available to the legal community or the general public.
He has also long thought it was odd that the materials essential to the functioning of the justice system could be copyrighted by the University of Wisconsin.
“It just always seemed wrong on the most basic level,” Lanning says.
As Lanning rose to leadership in the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in recent years, he renewed the group’s efforts to raise concerns about the state’s handling of jury instructions.

The Power Grid Problem
A deadly winter storm has gripped much of the United States, leaving millions without power in record-breaking cold weather.
Texas, in particular, has been hard hit.
More than 4 million homes and businesses in the state saw their electricity shut off as temperatures dropped into the single digits, driving up demand for heating while simultaneously freezing much of the energy infrastructure that would normally keep people warm. Rolling blackouts began Monday morning and continued into Tuesday evening.
