Lord have mercy the Supreme Court is hearing oral argument rn in an appeal from a case I wrote about last year
it's undisputed that Damon Landor suffered a *brazen* violation of his legal rights, yet the GOP justices sound skeptical that he can actually sue the prison guards who violated his rights

Louisiana prison guards subjected Damon Landor to horrible treatment--none of the judges who heard his case dispute that
Nor do they contest the flagrant illegality of the guards’ abuse
But they're divided on whether Damon—and the courts—can do anything about it

Federal Court: Prison Guards Forcibly Shaving a Rastafarian’s Head Is Someone Else’s Problem
A Fifth Circuit decision prohibited guards from cutting Damon Landor’s hair. He gave them a copy. They literally threw it in the trash.

Can someone tell me what sorts of cameras these guys are using for their video call? The image is so clean.
@gtconway.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social discuss the acquittal of the 'Sandwich Guy': "The jury said, we're not buying it. We can't swallow it. You've given us a lot to chew on, and we're just spitting out these charges."

The amount of horrific human rights violations the US is responsible for is unfathomable. There’s little wonder the country is an outlier of many international human rights conventions.
"My father remained at the Texas detention center until October. During those six months, he went completely blind in one eye and lost most of the vision in the other, because he wasn’t receiving adequate medical care for his Type 2 diabetes."

one of the biggest contributors to Elon’s loser energy is that he desperately wants to be cool, but doesn’t understand that a big part of being cool is appearing unaffected. he’s one of the most affected men of all time.

Some people thought that genocide should be a red line for a party's politics. If both parties think that it isn't, why is anything else not on the table? Why wouldn't they collude on anything else horrible?
Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.
Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.
In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.
Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”

Joyce Carol Oates absolutely reading Elon Musk for filth is pretty incredible, but something I'd point out is his feigned interest in games, and how fake that was, paying people to boost his accounts and play for him, and the rare time we actually got to see him play, he was absolutely miserable.
