That’s uh quite the angle to run with for an outlet that spent a lot of time defending the shooting of Renee Good

World Cup at MetLife Stadium will force Penn Station to partially close for 4 hours before matches, source says MetLife Stadium will host eight 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, including the final in July​, but soccer fans will have to rely on mass transit because there won't be any parking available.

They Endured Child Separation. Now ICE Is Trying to Deport Them. The U.S. government is reneging on key parts of a court settlement it struck with families whose children were seized at the border.

Beginning in 2017, thousands of immigrant children were traumatically separated from their parents at the border without cause. After a lawsuit, a government settlement offered them legal status in the U.S..

Now, in President Trump’s second term, the government has betrayed key terms of the deal.

the seamless transition from claiming slaves had "intent to remain" to talking about unsubstantiated and totally fabulist claims of "birth tourism" that cannot be linked to reputable sources is really a good illustration of why this case never should have ended up before the court

I dont see a single way this could turn out badly

A staggering new finding from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies: since 2001, the money left over each month for lower-income renters—after paying rent and utilities—has fallen 60 percent to a record low of $210.

$210 left over for food, healthcare, childcare, and everything else.

Train tickets between Boston and Gillette Stadium to almost quadruple in cost during World Cup According to sources familiar with the planning, individuals will be charged around or even more than $75 per-person for a return ticket.

I think it's pretty cool that if you navigate thru the U.S. visa system and maybe even have to put up $15,000 bond to come see a World Cup game, you're rewarded by getting price gouged by FIFA and our underfunded public transit system, which is sure to break under increased demand

Incredible sentence that links to The New York Post article that actually doesn't cite any research.

Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

No Phoenix officers will be disciplined after protesters falsely charged as gang members Phoenix police will not discipline any officers for their roles in a massive city scandal where officials invented a fake gang and then falsely charged protesters as members back in 2020.

ICE officers are taking DNA samples from protesters they've arrested People arrested while protesting ICE say federal agents took samples of their DNA. It's legal, but experts say the practice raises questions about what the government is doing with that genetic data.

"DNA specimens taken by federal immigration officers have been added to a national database maintained by the FBI, which many state and local law enforcement agencies can access."

Anti-ICE protesters accused of being part of antifa found guilty of support for terrorism in Texas Case was seen as major test of the first amendment and whether the US could use broad anti-terrorism statute to prosecute leftwing protesters

Breaking news: A jury convicted people who protested outside an ICE facility in Texas of providing material support to terrorists, and other charges in a closely watched case in which the gov't argued the protesters were "Antifa". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

DHS Ousts CBP Privacy Officers Who Questioned ‘Illegal’ Orders Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned.

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.

Ok but why did your carrots have glass in them

I wrote a very long report about how public defenders are constantly underfunded that delves into the ongoing debates within the legal community about how to ensure that people charged with crimes are offered high quality representation.

The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. JUSTICE KAGAN would grant the petition for a writ of certiorari. JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE JACKSON joins, dissenting from denial of certiorari. This case asks whether federal law prohibits the poorest prisoners from splitting the $350 fee required to file a federal lawsuit when it allows everyone else to do so. The answer statutorily appears to be no. Because the decision below held otherwise and deepened a split among the Courts of Appeals, the Court should grant the petition for a writ of certiorari.

Petitioners Topaz Johnson and Ian Henderson were incarcerated at High Desert State Prison in California when they filed this lawsuit in federal court. According to their complaint, corrections officers forced them and a third prisoner to stand in filthy cages that reeked of urine and measured 2.5 feet by 2.5 feet. They alleged that the officers forced them to stand in those cages for nearly nine hours with their hands cuffed behind their backs.

By a 6–3 vote, SCOTUS refuses to review a judge-made rule that bars indigent prisoners from splitting the filing fee among themselves when filing a federal suit—even though everyone else is allowed to split that fee. These defendants were allegedly tortured. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

thank you!

This report does a fantastic job of documenting a ridiculous crisis - there are only two ways out, arrest fewer people or hire more public defenders. Jdxs are going to have to do one or the other and continuing to drag their feet is only going to make the situation worse.

It appears I did not tag @galvinalmanza.bsky.social and @johnpfaff.bsky.social correctly in the initial thread. Both were incredibly helpful in producing this report.

As one leading scholar said "It’s not that we’re not willing to spend the money in the system. We’re not willing to spend the money on this one part of the system, which happens to be the constitutionalized right, the system that is designed to protect individual right"
