Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

It told me, that america is so dependent on easily manipulated media, that they ignore reality itself in favour of fantasy delivered by a foreigner because they like how it sounds.
2024 election really was the end.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

The gig, as they say, is up.

I watched her last night in Primal Fear. Sooooo good. She's a goddess.

Trump's Fundraising emails & linked web promotions continuously lie, in this case asking for money by midnight to get a "Tariff Rebate Check": this is a flat-out scam which would be illegal if (1) we still had consumer protection (2) Supreme Court did not tell Trump he was above-the-law.

George W. Bush v. Al Gore presidential election graphic from 2000

Imagine how different the planet would be today if Republicans and their Supreme Court hadn’t stolen the 2000 election from then Clinton VP and “global warming” activist Al Gore.

Current Supreme Court Justices Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were ALL lawyers for Bush during the 2000 FL recount. ⚖️ 🇺🇸

27-year-old Honduran man with end-stage renal failure denied dialysis until he signed a voluntary deportation order. Abolish DHS completely. Arrest most of its leaders.

100% THIS!!!!

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

MacKenzie Scott: *donates $50M every 10 hours°

Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of Palantir: "I want to see people hang"

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.

ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.

Why is ICE harassing women?

INTERESTS OF THE AMICI CURIAEI Amici are Daniel Kodsi (B.A., B.Phil., and D.Phil., University of Oxford); John Maier (B.A., University of Oxford; M.Sc., London School of Economics); Robert P. George (B.A., Swarthmore College; J.D., M.T.S., Harvard University; D.Phil., B.C.L., D.C.L., and D.Litt., University of Oxford); and 21 other philosophers listed in Appendix A. Amici share with the public at large an interest in seeing the law be formulated using clear, precise and principled distinctions, rather than unclear, vague and invidious ones. Consequently, they have an interest in seeing that the laws ensuring fairness in sports be formulated in sex-based terms, which are much clearer, more precise and more principled than any relevant alternatives. Amici have a further interest in familiarizing the Court with a general philosophical distinction, between more and less "natural" categories, which in their professional judgement is highly relevant to problems of categorization in general, including in the natural sciences and mathematics. Recognizing this distinction enables a perspicuous explanation of why it is so costly to abandon sex categories in sports in favor of alternative categories to which ad hoc exceptions have been built in.

I was reminded of the despicable Supreme Court amicus brief written by 24 philosophers and associated right-wing cranks that have suffered no social repercussions for their harming of trans people. All of them are a disgrace to the profession; all operate with impunity www.aei.org/wp-content/u...

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Same with waterfront Florida, only there's a lot more shoreline there.

We have to rethink federal flood insurance.

I want to hear that all these juvenile grifters are going to get indicted. I want to hear a serious proposal for SCOTUS reform. I want a reinvigorated defense and protection for universal legal abortion and the VRA. I want new party leadership: Schumer, Jeffries out.

Nothing short of that will do.

it cannot be said enough, and should be shouted from the rooftops:

this is a fake legal issue that's been backstopped by on-demand scholarship from academics who are part of the same project as the conservative justices. the "authority" they will cite is no better than citing AI slop.

If you want a read about the recent anti-constituonal attempt to denaturalize American children from their claim to birthright citizenship using bad history, @evanbernick.bsky.social, @gowder.io, I wrote about it in the Cornell Law Review Online. publications.lawschool.cornell.edu/lawreview/wp...

Johnson too.

Susie Wiles knows for sure. Why doesn't somebody try to interview her and broadcast it far and wide when she refuses?

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.

Aimed at the party's base, which they all know is stuck at a Franklin the Turtle books reading level.
