Shah Alam was found dead in late February.

Here in Cook County, IL, there's still no announced state or county investigation into the ICE agents who killed Silverio Villegas GonzΓ‘lez last September. We don't even know their names.

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Trump 1's DOJ had more people from our class than I care to admit. If we do have tribunals, I will relearn all of Fed Crim Pro and work for free to make sure people are held accountable.

Hundreds of former judges sign on to an amicus explaining the obvious, namely that unexplained shadow docket orders can't create binding precedent. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25....

(Because of course they can't. What's the ratio decidendi??)

Wasn't aware there was a primary for the President last cycle. And yes, you can still strategically vote in a primary, specially if your goal is to not elect a bad candidate.

But also, your points are the perfect argument for why we need ranked choice.

A judge ordered the release of a man with lawful permanent resident status β€” who twice won bond before an immigration court β€” but has remained detained for 200 days because of the Trump administration's use of a (previously) little used "automatic stay." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1. We need ranked choice voting.
2. It's BS that Bushwara is getting this kind of pressure when I'm not seeing the other non-viable candidates (cause polling is a thing that exists) be asked to drop out.
2. We really need to educate people on strategic voting (until we get ranked choice).

Apparently some electeds seem to believe they are owed these positions once they're elected once. Incumbent advantage is a hell of a drug.

This guy was defending him even after the Tatoo and everything else.

And again, I'm not saying Mandami is a fraud, simply that he hired this guys who has made an entire career out of elevating frauds.

Whoa - the incumbent that Drake is running against has the second worst attendance record in the current term

β€œThere is no thought process into what any of this means long term,” said one official. β€œIt’s not coordinated regime change. It’s just β€˜bomb them until they’re less of a threat.’”

Asked about the administration’s plan for Iran after the war, that official responded: β€œWhatever.”

Besides that he's a real great guy who cares deeply about his community, our city and our county. If you're in the 10th District please consider voting for Drake!

Some Cook County Board commissioners skip more than 20% of their meetings A WBEZ analysis of board meeting records revealed two incumbents with primary challengers scored among the worst truancy rates in this term.

@drakewarren.bsky.social is running to be a full time Cook County Commissioner. We need real progressives who actually treat their positions of public trust seriously. He is running against someone who clearly doesn't do that and doesn't show up 23% of the time.

Kristi Noem Didn’t Give a Sh*t About β€˜the Details’ Such as a woman who was here legally and helped the homelessβ€”but was then deported anyway.

NEW: Here's the story of a woman deported by Kristi Noem. Legally in the United States (as a DACA recipient), she is the mother of a U.S. citizen and was working to help the homelessβ€”but when she went for an appointment to get a green card, she was deported.

Cycling advocates: The mayor endorsed us. Now he advocates against us. In 2023, Mayor Brandon Johnson endorsed our bike grid plan. Now, he advocates against us and our right to safe infrastructure.

New from us! Mayor Brandon Johnson endorsed us in 2023, now he is against our safety. The City of Chicago opposes HB2454, a bill that would make bicyclists intended users of all roads only on a disconnected network of streets rather than all streets.
