The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. JUSTICE
KAGAN would grant the petition for a writ of certiorari.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE JACKSON joins,
dissenting from denial of certiorari.
This case asks whether federal law prohibits the poorest
prisoners from splitting the $350 fee required to file a federal lawsuit when it allows everyone else to do so. The answer statutorily appears to be no. Because the decision below held otherwise and deepened a split among the Courts
of Appeals, the Court should grant the petition for a writ of
certiorari.

Petitioners Topaz Johnson and Ian Henderson were incarcerated at High Desert State Prison in California when
they filed this lawsuit in federal court. According to their
complaint, corrections officers forced them and a third prisoner to stand in filthy cages that reeked of urine and measured 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet. They alleged that the officers
forced them to stand in those cages for nearly nine hours
with their hands cuffed behind their backs.

By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS refuses to review a judge-made rule that bars indigent prisoners from splitting the filing fee among themselves when filing a federal suitβ€”even though everyone else is allowed to split that fee. These defendants were allegedly tortured. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

While advocates have spent YEARS screaming about the mostly-irrelevant 1994 Crime Bill, the Prison Litigation Reform Act (the law at issue here) quietly grinds away, shielding our brutal prison system from whole swathes of accountability, almost completely ignored.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

Unaccompanied children as young as 13 who are pregnant, often from rape, are being moved to Texas so the Trump administration can avoid getting them access to abortion, critics say. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

β€˜He’s not the same’: Father of Liam Conejo Ramos says 5-year-old continues to suffer Some people thought they say the 5-year-old during the Super Bowl halftime show. But Liam is still in hiding with his family, after he and his father were detained and then released from a Texas deten...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

β€œHe can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, β€˜Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair.

USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries.

They are giving you actionable information.

body cameras are particularly bad in general because they are useless and when you're spending money on them you're giving money to LE and taking money from everyone else. 1

What is this shit! "plz follow the law, as you are already obligated to do, and we will give you more money"

If you could enforce these deals for ICE not to do shit it's already not supposed to do, you could enforce the law right now.

If you can't, you should not support giving them more money!
