Wow. Magistrate Judge Scott Varholak ordered a bond hearing w/this note: "If the Court is wrong, let another court declare that a noncitizen with no criminal history, no history of flight, & an adjudicated right to asylum may be detained indefinitely without running afoul of the Due Process Clause."

Thanks for defining myriad for me. It means a lot.

1/ Happy Juneteenth! How a Texas emancipation commemoration spread across the US is an amazing story. But Juneteenth wasn’t the first Black Freedom Day in America—or the only one of its day. So, let’s talk about em’. Pictured: Martha Yates Jones and Pinkie V Yates, Houston Juneteenth, 1908 | HPL

If God didn’t want us to rules lawyer, then God wouldn’t have given us the Torah.

The belief that country music is not and has never been the purview of any one person is foundational to what we've tried to do for 22 years, and we strive to elevate the work of diverse artists around here every day. To recognize Juneteenth, a thread to highlight some essential black artists:

Yes! Also, Margaret Owen is a fantastic author!

This is useful, for anyone hoping to parse antisemitic language. I appreciate that Nexus is very careful about the distinction between antisemitism & antizionism. They navigate the nuance well.

I don't think we should outlaw heterosexuality I really don't I know it's got some issues, and there's all the toxic sludge that spatters on the rest of us, but people should be allowed to be straight if that's what's in their hearts maybe there should be a waiting period or counseling tho IDK
