Drug prohibition functions as an incredible price support for drug traffickers who essentially peddle in minimally processed chemical and agricultural commodities that cost pennies per dose to manufacture. You will never make these substances disappear by making them astronomically more valuable.

Probably the best market advice coming from the speaker of Iran’s parliament

The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them! The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.

"I'm a cop, I don't understand the law" is literally one of the most on-brand things I have ever heard in my life

as an outsider looking in, what this looks like to me is unscrupulous partisans leveraging norms of academic collegiality to do hack work, and then getting the vapors when people point out, correctly, that theirs is hack work

Raised in Oakland, Frank Robinson was never a go-along-to-get-along type. Neither, coincidentally, were two guys he played ball with growing up—Bill Russell, who became the NBA's first Black head coach in 1966—and Curt Flood, the Black centerfielder who challenged baseball’s reserve clause in 1970.

The new goal of the war is to undo the fuckup we caused by starting the war, American century of humiliation in full effect

The battle for Iwo Jima resulted in over 26,000 US casualties, making it one of the bloodiest Marine actions in history.

Ok but which option is better for Baltimore City as a whole. Which option creates a greater efficiency that will improve the city for decades. Which option would be the smarter investment. What is happening in the world that could make a new fleet of buses exponentially more expensive to maintain.

Just think what mid-70s Argento could have done with this 📽️🍿🔪👹

TRUMP: We had one who was very ill. Looked like he wasn't going to make it. You want to mention his name? MIKE JOHNSON: Neal Dunn of Florida had real health challenges T: His diagnosis was he'd be dead by June J: Ok, that wasn't public. *audience groans* It was grim is what I was going to say

Wait for it

The cameras at this intersection are not made by Flock but Leonardo, another ALPR vendor. Haven't been able to surface a contract for these devices in the city's publicly facing database (which isn't always reliable.) Richmonders have no easy way of knowing who's surveilling them with these cams.

Relatedly: noticed the other day that somebody appears to have cut the cables on one of the cameras at N. 18th and E. Grace. A vandal would need a proper set of cable-cutters and time to set up a ladder to make this cut. Or maybe city officials decommissioning it w/ plans to uninstall later?

My report is live now and free to read at the @richmonder.bsky.social via the link above. Also did a big thread with some of the findings from this investigation:

"How much are we actually spending, not just on [Flock] contracts, but on the fact that the vast majority of uses of this database are turning up nothing of significance?' [CNU crime researcher Steven Keener] said. 'How much taxpayer money are we wasting on that?'"

A former New York state trooper was convicted of manslaughter at his second trial in a high-speed chase that led to the death of an 11-year-old girl. Prosecutors say he rammed an SUV twice, causing it to lose control and flip over.

The detainees from Baltimore were briefly held in Arizona before being split up and sent to detention centers across the country. “All of us here are in God’s hands,” the detained man told us.

The next day, members of Congress arrived for an unannounced inspection and found the holding cells empty. “This appears to be another instance in a persistent pattern of this Administration attempting to cover up their abuses and evade accountability,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Friday.

The man who was held in Baltimore this weekend said detainees were told “no one can be in here” as agents prepped them to leave the holding cells. On Sunday, at least 100 people were shackled and loaded into vans, then driven to an airport, he said.

We spoke with close to a dozen people familiar with the Baltimore ICE facility -- including a man detained there over the weekend, loved ones of detainees, immigration attorneys and congressional insiders -- to piece together what happened to the detainees who were there as of Sunday.

NEW: When Maryland's congressional delegation visited ICE's overcrowded holding rooms in downtown Baltimore Monday, they found the place unexpectedly empty. What happened to all the people being held there? We figured it out. Story for @thebaltimorebanner.com: www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Hegseth: Why do the headlines say inflammatory things like “war intensifies”? Pentagon official press release 3 days ago: Hegseth says war intensifies

Americans are working harder & longer & still can't make ends meet. I'm proposing a bill to cut taxes for 130 million workers, paid for by a surtax on income over $1 million a year. It's time our tax code worked for working people & the wealthiest pay their fair share.

Later this month, SCOTUS will hear Pitchford's case. It has numerous issues, from jailhouse informants to undisclosed evidence. But at the heart of the case is Mississippi's failure to grapple with its enduring crisis of Black people struck from its juries. 7/7 mississippitoday.org/2026/03/12/m...

The @mississippitoday.org analysis also found that MS prosecutors struck Black people from juries for "strange hair," a bad "vibe," living in a "high crime area," or claiming (often w/o evidence) that a Black juror was a "known drug user" or an alcoholic. 6/7 mississippitoday.org/2026/03/12/m...

A @mississippitoday.org analysis of criminal appeals considered by the Mississippi Supreme Court between 2015 and 2025 finds that during that period the court hasn’t provided relief in a single claim where strikes of Black jurors were raised. 5/7 mississippitoday.org/2026/03/12/m...

But relief for Terry Pitchford+other defendants who claimed state prosecutors illegally struck Black people from their juries was elusive. In 2023, Justice Sonia Sotomayor blasted the MS Supreme Court for disregarding the SCOTUS decision in Flowers entirely. 4/7 mississippitoday.org/2026/03/12/m...

Evans became one of America's most notorious prosecutors+Flowers went to SCOTUS in 2019 where the court decided in his favor. “The State employed its peremptory strikes to remove as many black prospective jurors as possible," wrote Justice Brett Kavanaugh. 3/7 mississippitoday.org/2026/03/12/m...

From 1997-2014, Evans tried Curtis Flowers for the same murders six times, each time with an all-white or majority-white jury who sentenced him to death. But things seemingly began to change after the popular 2018 podcast about Flowers, "In The Dark." 2/7 mississippitoday.org/2026/03/12/m...

New: In 2006, Terry Pitchford went to trial in a capital case in Mississippi where prosecutor Doug Evans struck all about one Black juror. Since then Evans+the state have become notorious for striking Black people from juries+blocking post-conviction relief. 1/7 mississippitoday.org/2026/03/12/m...

I feel like these are two different things, the In This House signs are a way for normal people to signify that they support trans/minority rights while the jargon is a way to tell people you've spent time in activist/academic circles
