Devastating piece on the human toll of Kavanaugh Stops.

Especially infuriating to know that rich white guys like Brett K can simply close their eyes to the human suffering their racist jurisprudence has unleashed.

Methodist pastors march into courtroom with 'boring suburban dad' indicted for protesting CHICAGO (RNS) β€” β€˜If you come for one United Methodist, you have come for all of us,’ said a Chicago area UMC pastor.

NEW: So, the courtroom at the "Broadview 6" arraignment in Chicago yesterday featured lotsa Methodist pastors.

Why? They were supporters of defendant/fellow Methodist Brian Straw.

"If you come for one United Methodist, you have come for all of us,” one pastor said. religionnews.com/2025/11/13/m...

Once again thinking about how difficult it is for the wrongfully convicted to get even a fraction of this kind of compensation, often after having served decades in prison or facing execution for crimes they did not commit.

New York Times killed Weinstein and Epstein stories but just asked Ms Rachel if she was funded by Hamas.

To the extent there was anything left of the Fourth Amendment for individuals (there already wasn’t much), it is rapidly evaporating.

She should go ahead and just shift that funding x2 over to the legal department and insurance policies.

Conservative ideology is fundamentally opposed to insurance because it requires the communal spreading of risk. Paul Ryan was making an ass of himself because of this long before Trump came along to be dumb about it.

It’s gonna take a long and concerted effort to bring meaningful reform efforts into the mainstream, and so many capital D Democrats are simply unwilling to even try because of the power of police unions and their respective lobbying efforts.

Immigration Agents Arrest Man in L.A. Raid and Drive Off With His Toddler

The father was a U.S. citizen.

But he was Latino, so Brett Kavanaugh says it’s fine.

I sure would love to see if this seemingly weird article giving credence to very old nonsenical racist beliefs is actually mocking said beliefs as weird racist nonsense. But I am not giving up my payment information based on this headline.

As the face of the β€œprogressive prosecutor” movement steamrolls to a 3rd term, let me be the millionth person to note that when that movement loses elections it’s billed in national media as a crisis for the left, while the movement’s high points, of which there have been many, are largely ignored.

Lenny Briscoe’s one liner during the arrest would be one for the ages. I can’t even attempt one. Wouldn’t do him justice.

Another thank you card with hand drawn barbed wire and prison bars and text that reads, β€œI want to thank all of the teachers and students at the [West Virginia] Innocence Project for taking my case, for without you all I would have any hope in going home. Thank you.” The name of the sender is redacted.

Post-conviction work is grueling and wins are few and far between, but every now and again we are reminded why we do the work.

At this point the First Amendment is functionally more protective of a corporation's right to spend billions of dollars to influence an election than it is of the right of individuals to criticize the government.

You Should Blame Merrick Garland Garland's incompetence gave the Supreme Court the chance to set Trump free

My latest is about the latest revelations on the failed prosecution of Donald Trump, and why you should blame Merrick Garland more than the Supreme Court.

Further proof that "tough on crime" is never actually about safety.

It is about violent social control. If that makes crime go down, that's a plus. But if it makes crime worse, that's never a reason to stop--and in fact that rise in crime is (somehow credibly) used to justify more toughness.
