Supreme Court likely to strike down Colorado's conversion therapy ban A lesson in how defining the case often resolves the case.

“The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared likely to strike down Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy by licensed therapists practiced on minors — a ruling that could affect similar laws in nearly half the country and make life more difficult for LGBTQ children at an already perilous time.”

Was just speaking with another California city last week that wants to use these and it’s a bummer the legislation was so limiting. If cities want to install cameras they should be able to!

The man wears gloves and a dark cap, and his eyes are visible above the mask. The vehicle’s door and side mirror are wet with raindrops.

ICE is a hostile occupying force that is a danger to everyone.

I have been grappling with this so much. The balance between being fully engaged/chronically online and totally lurking is a hard one for me to strike. It’s getting to the point of where I’m not getting much benefit from being on but afraid of logging off.

Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building. "They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.
