The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity
In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.
The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.
If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

If you believe every embryo is endowed with an immortal soul, and God (the author of nature) has decreed that 10-25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, and either baptism or a profession of faith are necessary to avoid eternal damnation, then your God is simply evil, and your beliefs are insane.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

Every once in a while I remember Trump changed vice presidents because he sent a violent mob to take care of his previous one and that’s not a thing anyone even talks about.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas
With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.
Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.
We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
