NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

It’s great
Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension.
Public pressure works.
If enough people speak up, a life may be saved.
Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.
Adorable

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

I didn't choose this life, please choose to stand with me. Any support, sharing, or connection to assistance means a lot.💔🏳️⚧️⛓️😭

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business.
-if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her.
-if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet.
-instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
This was a super emotional interview for me, I’m so thankful to @memingless.bsky.social for letting me chat about my past and my journey to becoming a therapist.
Haven’t been able to learn why, because the details of how this execution is performed are kept under wraps. Maybe it’s because it’s less gradual, or maybe the subject isn’t able to breathe out carbon dioxide because of the mask?
I believe this is the premise they based this method on, like accidents in labs where nitrogen slowly replaces the air around the victim, and they pass out. But that doesn’t happen here: Sotomayor’s opinion here explains that the 7 times this method was used, the subject was awake for quite a while.
Take out your phone, go to the clock app, and find the stopwatch. Click start. Now watch the seconds as they climb. Three seconds come and go in a blink. At the thirtysecond mark, your mind starts to wander. One minute passes, and you begin to think that this is taking a long time. Two . . . three . . . . The clock ticks on. Then, finally, you make it to four minutes. Hit stop. Now imagine for that entire time, you are suffocating. You want to breathe; you have to breathe. But you are strapped to a gurney with a mask on your face pumping your lungs with nitrogen gas. Your mind knows that the gas will kill you. But your body keeps telling you to breathe. That is what awaits Anthony Boyd tonight. For two to four minutes, Boyd will remain conscious while the State of Alabama kills him in this way. When the gas starts flowing, he will immediately convulse. He will gasp for air. And
he will thrash violently against the restraints holding him in place as he experiences this intense psychological torment until he finally loses consciousness. Just short of twenty minutes later, Boyd will be declared dead. Boyd asks for the barest form of mercy: to die by firing squad, which would kill him in seconds, rather than by a torturous suffocation lasting up to four minutes. The Constitution would grant him that grace. My colleagues do not. This Court thus turns its back on Boyd and on the Eighth Amendment’s guarantee against cruel and unusual punishment. Because the Court should have instead granted a stay of execution and Boyd’s petition for certiorari, I respectfully dissent.
#SCOTUS denies a stay of execution to Alabama death-row prisoner Anthony Boyd, over *quite* a dissent from the three Democratic appointees, written by Justice Sotomayor, about the problems with nitrogen hypoxia as a method of execution:

It’s been three weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election, but Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in — all because she would be the final signature needed on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.
He’s denying AZ-07 a voice in Congress. Swear her in now.
This is crazy well done
A pixel art of a stone brick walkway overlooking a beach during a cloudy sunrise. The sun is a blinding white, with thick, light gray clouds seeming to radiate out from it. In the distance are two mossy rocks.
A pixel art of a Roman-looking town overlooked by a mountain range, in which the largest mountain is emitting smoke, seemingly a volcano. Meant to be Pompeii, but without reference, so not actually accurate.
A pixel art of the boss key from Wind Waker. A large, golden build, with a purple orb in the center of the handle(?) of the key. The purple orb contains a red eye, outlined also in gold. The handle(?) also has dark, curly lines in a symmetrical pattern around the orb, and has horns that come out of the sides. The gold and the eye both glisten in light.
Got really hooked on making pixel arts recently for reasons. Think I got it out of my system for now lol
I was never under the impression that anyone literally on either side was ever like “hmm ok”. I’m not sure anything has ever been more suspicious actually

Like, in a 7-2, someone in the 7 will post the majority opinion, and someone in the 2, the dissenting opinion, but the existence of the dissenting opinion doesn’t change the ruling (if I understand right)
No, this is a “concurring opinion” that agrees with the court’s ruling, but seeks to establish a different reasoning than that of the opinion written for the majority. The written opinions are based on the ruling, but don’t affect them I believe.
a new GOP law that makes you risk losing your right to vote if you try to volunteer for democracy
Including this one
I will never post anything just in case anyone was wondering
Will post stuff soon totally for sure
