- BREAKING: Judge Giles ordered the immediate release of our ACLU-VA client Dr. Badar Khan Suri from Prairieland Detention Center in Texas!! We argued motions in Alexandria, VA this morning & are also in TX w/Center for Constitutional Rights ready to bring our client home to his family in Virginia.
- All this news out of Omaha (& TX, & elsewhere) is so heartening & dare I say hopeful, & relatedly also: pls support @taniel.bsky.social & @boltsmag.org in whatever way you can—I can't say enough abt how important coverage of local & state races is. No such thing as off-year or downballot anymore.
- actively choose to be sincere, reliable, competent & caring toward the people you love. also, there is no love like the love a dog gives—do whatever it takes to adopt a dog & love it beyond the limits of what you think love is.
- We are seeing some of the worst 1A violations of our lifetimes unfold over these months & intersect with an all-out assault on the judiciary. This is of course the correct decision, but it’s tough to think abt what true justice would be, if it’s even possible.
- BREAKING: Federal judge in Vermont orders that Rumeysa Ozturk be released from detention "immediately" and on her own recognizance with no travel restrictions. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com
- I thought the Chicago/APA/MLA pope joke won, but this one might be undefeatable.
- It's honestly moments like this that places like BlueSky are just chef's kiss demonstrations of human possibility in the sheer comedic force it generates
- omg The Bear is going to become even more insufferable to watch now, isn't it
