My plant grow lights being set to turn off at sundown is depressing now.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES - No. 25A169 - KRISTI NOEM, SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, ET AL. U. PEDRO VASQUEZ PERDOMO, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY [September 8, 2025] The application for stay presented to JUSTICE KAGAN and by her referred to the Court is granted. The July 11, 2025 order entered by the United States District Court for the Central District of California, case No. 2:25-cv-5605, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting. In early June, the Government launched immigration enforcement raids across Los Angeles and its surrounding counties. During the raids, teams of armed and masked agents pulled up to car washes, tow yards, farms, and parks and began seizing individuals on sight, often before asking a single question. A Federal District Court found that these raids were part of a pattern of conduct by the Government that likely violated the Fourth Amendment. Based on the evidence before it, the court held that the Government was stopping individuals based solely on four factors: (1) their apparent race or ethnicity; (2) whether they spoke Spanish or English with an accent; (3) the type of location at which they were found (such as a car wash or bus stop); and (4) the type of job they appeared to work. Concluding that stops based on these four factors alone, even when taken together, could not satisfy the Fourth Amendment's requirement of reasonable suspicion, the District Court temporarily enjoined the Government from continuing its pattern of unlawful mass arrests while it considered whether longer-term relief was appropriate.

Instead of allowing the District Court to consider these troubling allegations in the normal course, a majority of 2 NOEM v. VASQUEZ PERDOMO SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting this Court decides to take the once-extraordinary step of staying the District Court's order. That decision is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.

* * The Fourth Amendment protects every individual's constitutional right to be "free from arbitrary interference by law officers." Brignoni-Ponce, 422 U.S., at 878. After to-day, that may no longer be true for those who happen to look a certain way, speak a certain way, and appear to work a certain type of legitimate job that pays very little. Because this is unconscionably irreconcilable with our Nation's constitutional guarantees, I dissent.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court — over the objection of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — allows the Trump administration’s racial profiling of people working certain types of jobs in its immigration raids during litigation.

It is now open season on every US citizen whose descendants aren't obviously from Europe and/or have "funny names", as long as Trump's gestapo can come up with some reason in addition to ethnicity they're demanding papers.

My building repainted and redid the carpet on my floor but those people took my doormat. Some people have theirs back but I don’t. WTF

Karen, for real?

Jan. 6 Rioter Ashli Babbitt Was Killed Storming The Capitol. She Will Now Receive Military Funeral Honors. The Babbitt family also received a settlement of $5 million earlier this year.

Authoritarians who unwind democracy are similar in one respect.
They seek to take control of centers of power and dissent in society. Call it the authoritarian checklist. Trump’s second term is best understood by his systemic checking off of this checklist.

Fair lol

But we know that girl wouldn’t have cared if she won that match

Gracias!

Three interviews, back-to-back-to-back… praying to the adderall and coffee gods.

I was never into that Boulter lady but wtf happened to her this year? Injuries? Or did she just regress to her mean.

I would say Arnaldi is a tricky R1 but this is such a pattern with Cerundolo that I can’t even give him benefit of the doubt.

Playing a dangerous game of planning to hang out two days in a row… the chance of me cancelling the second is above 50%.

What y’all been over here talking about?

I hate that I get hit up by a recruiter and like hmm that job feels like a lot of work

Michigan Central: Once a busy train station that was abandoned and run down. Here it is shown restored to its new beauty

Another Detroit trip completed. Had a chance to visit Ford Field for the first time to pick up some Lions Gear, and visited the revitalized Michigan Central. Mom made a ton of food and I wish I could have brought some on the plane with me, but not possible. Home (Boston) soon.

This damn uber is taking these local ass streets and it’s driving me insane. Like if you don’t get your ass on the west side highway…

Interview went well. But we shall see. Someone needs to just hire me so I can stop adding to the black unemployment rates.

And speaking of, I’m hoping JuJu is recovering well.

Agree. Like I know she’s athletic and seems strong but it’s like I gotta look through my fingers and pray.

Rescheduled for tomorrow. 🙄 They’re lucky beggars can’t be choosers.

Arthur and this back has stressed me out.

HR didn’t attach a meeting link for the interview and haven’t responded to my email in 2 hours. Maybe God is trying to tell me something about this company.

So proud

Karen Quietly Ascends

It's been a bit lowkey compared to some of the other storylines unfolding in Canada this week, but Karen Khachanov is through to the finals.

The #11 seed disposes of perennial big-match flop artist Alexander Zverev, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6⁴, to move on.

She's Baaaaaack!

Naomi Osaka will play for a big title for the first time in over 3 years after defeating Clara Tauson, 6-2, 7-6⁷, in Montreal.

The 27yo, who is now guaranteed a seeding at the US Open, will play 18yo phenom Victoria Mboko in the championship match.
