CIVIL CASE NO. SA-26-CV-415-FB Β§ OPINION AND ORDER OF THE COURT

Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The
Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the Constitution of these United States trumps this
administration's detention of petitioner Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R. The Great Writ
and release from detention are GRANTED pursuant to the attached Judgment.
Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled
power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And
the rule of law be damned.

Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.
SIGNED this 31st day of February [sic], 2026.

BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released.

"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."

What You Can Do to Test for Fentanyl Using fentanyl test strips can help prevent drug overdoses and reduce harm.

Boston folks - there were several overdoses reported over the weekend by Somerville city officials.

Testing is a helpful prevention strategy for opioid overdose. Fentanyl test strips are available in most community health clinics/over the counter in MA pharmacies.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Took a course exploring illness narratives in healthcare and was struck by a Donald Hall poem. πŸ“

To me, β€œThe Ship Pounding” illustrates the absurdity of being a patient in a medical system that often feels it’s not designed for human wellbeing.

United States Completes WHO Withdrawal        
          WASHINGTON β€” Β January 22, 2026 β€” The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.

This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.
