Why does an article about a black female judge weighing the attempted dismissal of a black female Federal Reserve board member lead off with a picture of two white men?

But the last one for everyone?
The existence of a first suggests a last.
We know there are places without one.
We know there were times without one.
We must know that this could last one.

We all know there was a first one.
I know that this one might be MY last one.
We each know that –
We have lived entire lives knowing
That we might not be around for the next one.

The Last Pride

If we knew it was the last one,
Would it be different?
Would the rainbows be brighter?
Would the music move us more?
Would we take better care of each other?

Am I correctly interpreting the document source as saying that Mr. Gutierrez-Contreras's case was handled entirely by federal public defenders?

The expression "that really melons by balls" is vulgar slang that implies someone is doing something risky, brave, or even foolish, often in a way that is not recognized or appreciated by others.

"Bells my melon" is a British slang expression meaning to make one confused or perplexed, often to the point of frustration. It's a way of saying something is confusing or frustrating.

The expression "that really bails my melon" is a vulgar slang term meaning that something has relieved or helped a person, especially after a difficult or challenging situation. It is similar to saying "that really helps" or "that really saves the day" in more polite terms.

"That really balls my melon" is slang that means something is upsetting or frustrating, like a situation is causing you to feel annoyed or confused.

"That really boils my melon" is an informal way of saying "that really annoys me" or "that really gets on my nerves." It's a British idiom ...

Separate from my personal reaction to Hegseth’s behavior (anything that undermines the ability of the U.S. to bomb residential areas is a good thing), I am glad Congress now has the chance to engage in performative impeachment (as a warning shot to Trump himself).

They know they’re snatching American citizens, and that they’ll have to let them out. The point isn’t deportation- it’s to immiserate Latinos. Ten days is long enough to lose your job, miss your rent, get your kids taken.

Otherwise, we put up with the crime and hope it doesn’t hit too close to our loved ones or we abandon the Constitution.

The biggest gap that I see right now for preventing further crime while continuing within the current Constitutional framework is broad clarity of a consensus alternative.

If the above is correct, then it is necessary but not sufficient to:
- make clear the crime
- make clear the common values
- make clear there is a consensus alternative.

Some fear that the only viable alternative political organization for governing could be just as bad or worse, making the risk of terminating this regime appear too high.

The partisan polarization is being reinforced by geographic, racial, and social delineations magnified by mass media, making the hurdle to overcome appear higher than it is.

The number is US citizens who believe the regime is using the authority of the government to commit crimes is growing but not a majority. Many still see only policy conflict, not crime.

Do enough US citizens share contempt for the use of the authority of government to commit crimes sufficient to overcome our partisan polarization and terminate the Trump regime within the current Constitutional framework.

No, but why not?
