This 👇 Can’t wait for Emily’s book “The Price of Mercy”.. 17th Feb 2026..

As promised!

Watch this video!

Police dogs seem like lovely dogs. But they are kind of terrible police. I feel like a lot of this stuff should be totally obvious to people who love dogs - you understand how dogs respond to their people! Well, our criminal court system definitely doesn't understand that.

You know, Miracle on 34th Street has it all as a legal drama and systemic critique. A bad arrest, prosecutorial overreach (and honestly total lack of ethics), the problem with judicial elections, and a defense lawyer who works miracles. The best.

If you or your loved one is worried about dealing with government overreach, please watch and share! Silent nights for civil rights ❤️

I keep trying to sing Christmas songs and the 7yo only wants Come Out Ye Black and Tans

Boom

Keeping people in the dark makes it easier for politicians to control narratives.. and those narratives can land us in some pretty dark places. Here's better data:

Please remember to support real journalism.

Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.

Attempted murder of the tourist industry. There is literally no place in the world cool enough that I would go through this to visit it.

A government that doesn't want anyone to know their rights is NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT STOP LOOKING AT ME www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Guys... can I just say that I have admired @jduffyrice.bsky.social since the first time I read like five words she had strung together. I am incredibly honored to have this comment from her and hope you like it and order the book!

Want to come hang out with us and talk about crime, punishment, weird court practices, surprising stats, and smarter public safety? I had a great time on the @foxrothschild.bsky.social podcast and I bet you will too if you listen in...sample here and link below!

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.

This kind of bottle-shaming is a not-so-subtle way to push women out of the workforce.

Hugely (!) honored to have this comment from @raskin.house.gov ! This book will be out and (indeed) trying to change the game in Feb, but if you want to get ahead of things, you can find out more about it and get your own at www.emilygalvinalmanza.com

Compassionate release is both morally and fiscally the best policy. So why aren't more jurisdictions moving in this direction? www.cityandstatepa.com/opinion/2025...

And this, ladies & gentlemen, is why large language models are totally beside the point. But good luck.

“What have I done!” 🤡

Naturally, but the GOP and their MAGA fluffers on social media will have nothing to say about this, and Mike Johnson will pretend not to see this story until 2029. Trump Jr-backed startup gets $600 million dollar government deal.

It’s all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is “getting back in the fight,” what they’re really saying is there’s nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isn’t the law.

#GVerse #Veterans US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

Family of Colombian man killed in illegal U.S. strike files human rights challenge The petition from the family of Alejandro Carranza says the military bombed his fishing boat on when he was sailing off Colombia's Caribbean coast, in violation of human rights #Wrldpoli🌐 www.npr.org/2025/12/04/g...

The Supreme Court sided with this dissent:

I will complain all day everyday about the state of discovery in criminal law, but I will also affirm that even in its totally inequitable state, the discovery on these cases where it looks like the White House is messing around is going to be FASCINATING

Mike Johnson consumes only Real Housewives shows in order to ensure that he is never, ever aware of even one pressing national issue

There’s no safe jail for pregnant people because there’s no safe jail. Put people in jail; people die. I think people want to feel okay about “some” people in jail and no, you shouldn’t feel okay. People are in death institutions; there’s not a nicer word for it.

Hey dude stop scrolling and come get some useful stats about public safety you can use to win arguments with your relatives over the next holiday

Hard same

So police driven voter suppression.

Tomorrow from Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias: the Democratic Party will never win elections again unless it stops listening to its far-left extremists like Bill Kristol

Trump’s recent decision to deny disaster aid to two electric utilities in rural northern Michigan could cost local residents tens of millions of dollars. It will hit a working-class region that voted overwhelmingly for Trump last year, helping him win the crucial swing state.

We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding So if we didn't comply with it, you see, it wasn't lawful and binding Girl math ass legal interpretation

SUCH A GOOD MOVIE! Excellent script, beautifully shot, it honestly felt like a return to classic movies from the 1990s in the best way

For context: Jack served as head of the Office of Legal Counsel during the Bush administration. He’s widely regarded—especially in conservative legal circles—as a leading authority on executive power. The fact that he’s expressing this view in such stark terms is significant.

The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time." Full article: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/28/m...

It's Black Friday and all of us should probably be thinking more about how incarceration makes us poorer. The details below are literally just scratching the surface.

"There are costs to performatively deploying members of the military—one of which is the risk of endangering them" From @juliettekayyem.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

in a reasonable world the Trump admin would be catching enormous amounts of shit for their decision to deploy the national guard now that this has happened, rather than the media helping manufacture consent for them ending all refugee programs I am not holding my breath

Last week to enter! Plus black Friday n stuff. Get out there.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...
