What these people are doing to the power of calling out real antisemitism, in an incredibly dangerous time of surging global antisemitism….man, it is just so worrisome

Given Ed Dept asks they are clearly looking for paperwork violations they can hit Brown for, not real safety issues, eg full audit trails of every underage drinking disciplinary case the last five years. The 1990 Clery Act theoretically imposes huge fines for recordkeeping lapses

This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.

Attorneys asked the judge to let them amend the complaint, a common practice in lawsuits, but the state, represented by the office of Attorney General Letitia James, argued (in a filing that misspelled the judge’s name) that the typos created a “jurisdictional defect.” nysfocus.com/2025/12/22/p...

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

This fool might be the one who breaks me

Feels to me like the last quote here is more devastating and incriminating than even the birthday book and the photos and the rest.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years. It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

This also happened during Trump’s first term. That 2024 dip? That’s when Democrats went on the defensive, and let Trump and MAGA dictate the immigration narrative. Why, it’s almost as if political leadership (good and bad) can actually drive public opinion, instead of always following it.

My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

This entire weekend

so far tonight msnbc has interviewed two students from brown university that are also survivors of separate high school shootings. insanity.

"Decades of research reveal the ineffectiveness of policies that treat youth as adults. ... [K]ids tried in the adult system actually have higher recidivism rates than those whose cases remain in the juvenile system. But the practice is not only ineffective, it is psychologically harmful."

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

Please listen...I know a lot about this, I have friends who have been or are civilly committed THERE IS NO END DATE or incentive for anyone to be LET OUT EVER They often use barely qualified staff and call them "treatment specialists" and those people have NO INCENTIVE TO EVER LET ANYONE OUT

From @prisonpolicy.org: New analysis of government data from ICE via the Deportation Data Project shows federal agents reliant on local jails and police to reach their arrest numbers.

Oakland Abolition and Solidarity needs donations for winter jail support nights at Santa Rita Jail! * warm jackets! * gloves and scarves! * socks! * handwarmers! * shoe laces! * beanies signal message @elky.88 to coordinate donations or PayPal: OaklandAboSol CashApp: $0aklandAboSol

North Carolina raising the cost of products sold in state prisons by five cents is a significant increase to incarcerated workers who typically earn between forty cents and $1.25 per day.

There is no reason to be polite or decorous about this any more. The current Supreme Court is corrupt. US democracy cannot survive unless it is reformed.

Update: Maryland Office of the Public Defender says incarcerated children are still “trapped in freezing rooms” at the Youth Detention Center, which is without heat but “operating at 105% capacity.”

What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

Trans people suffer the most violence in prison. PREA was never enough but it’s just disgusting to roll it back.

I am pro pardon power but wiping out the minuscule restitution here is pretty fucked up

Another bad deal to highlight on #BlackFriday: Some jails & prisons are taking money from incarcerated people and their families to go on shopping sprees for gun range memberships and fitness trackers 🤔

Love to update my mom on the game, nervously, and immediately have to update her again, triumphantly 💛💚💛💚 #GoDucks

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

An astonishing 80 percent of the Louisiana's death sentences between 1976 and 2015 were later reversed. A judge recently vacated the conviction of Chris Duncan, who had been on the state's death row for decades.

a rich text

Absolutely horrific. ICE detained and abducted a minor—a high school student—who the family identified as a US citizen. ICE is terrorizing our communities—I’m fighting for answers and accountability. This is just wrong.

Neither one of those is DPI, what the fuck are we doing here #goducks

Boettcher being a South alum just put me over the edge. Have we ever even had a successful college football player before? (kidding kidding but it’s not exactly our sport) Anyway so happy for him & all the defensive players #GoDucks #GoAxemen

It's @keribla.bsky.social's first story for @propublica.org! But it won't be her last on the Bureau of Prisons. Do you work for BOP and have tips, documents, or data you can share to paint a fuller picture of what’s going on inside? You should contact Keri. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

The “canceled people” database listing victims of cancel culture, which includes oft-repeated cases such as Bret Weinstein (Evergreen State College) and James Damore (Google), has a little over 200 entries across 18 years. canceledpeople.org

This is so cool. I interviewed Calvin Duncan - exoneree, and now Orleans Parish Clerk of Court - back in 2023 about his work as a jailhouse lawyer for the folks on death row in Louisiana. I remember being really struck by his words:

I actually can’t stop laughing at “an otherwise normal life to lead”

RGIII just called Dante Moore’s hair fabulous and wow I really wish he could always be our commentator (also good at breaking down plays) #GoDucks

One person did something horrific as a result of having suffered, took responsibility, and served 20 yrs. The other did horrific things just bc he could, took no responsibility, and was mad he could not be on tv. Any equivalence between them is why we don’t get real second chances in this country

The Heritage Foundation, which is staffing the US presidential administration, has spent the past two weeks mainstreaming actual neo-Nazis into American public life, and much of the American Jewish establishment is panicking about a Muslim mayor of New York City.

And hasn’t missed a paycheck. 🤡 @bresreports.bsky.social

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections? in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

Mike Johnson: It’s True. I Am Tuning Out The News Cycle To Focus On Self-Care

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

Literally laughed out loud. Reposting bc I first saw all the aunt discourse and had to go looking for what caused it.

60% of youth in custody are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD – compared to just 11% nationally. Kids need care, not cages. #ADHDAwarenessMonth

A long read, but well worth reading. It's why I pay to subscribe to Radley's work.

Clearly the offense is stoned right now
