My newest supurrvisor, Rowan, is inspecting the quilt on my longarm to make sure it’s ready for quilting. #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyCats #SewingWithCats #QuiltingWithCats

A small black cat is popping up between the batting and the backing on a longarm quilting machine.

A black cat is walking along the back rollers of a longarm quilting machine. He looks like a panther, only smaller. Purple and green fabric is rolled up on the front of the machine and a multi-colored quilt of hearts is on the wall behind him.

Sylvie, my sewing supurrvisor, has strong opinions about the bags I would like to work on today. #caturday #sewingwithcats #quiltingwithcats

A grey cat is sitting on rainbow printed fabric (it looks like a work in progress) with a shocked expression. There is a pink and green quilt in the background, and blue fabric, yellow fabric, and rainbow printed fabric all over the table she is sitting on.

There are going to be a lot of Carols, and a lot of Kilmar Abrego Garcias. I didn’t vote for this, but they did. We saw this coming, but they didn’t listen. I wish I could do more than weep.

A grey kitty is wearing a rainbow bow tie. She looks very proud.

Sylvie is prepared to supurrvise a long weekend of quilting. Guess I’d better get to it! #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyCats #SewingWithCats #QuiltingWithCats

A grey cat is sitting on a quilt block on a sewing table. She is clearly waiting for something to happen here. There is a longarm quilting machine in the back of the room, with an old-fashioned thread rack in front of it. A sparkly water tumbler is on the table, and a kitchen can be seen through a window. It looks like SOMEONE has turned their dining room into a quilting space.

It seems like SOMEONE could have asked her this question at her confirmation hearing.

It seems like the head of the Department of Homeland Security should know what habeas corpus is. Especially since it is a pillar of the Constitution, the WH Policy Director has said publicly that they may suspend it, and DHS will have to enforce that. bsky.app/profile/atru...

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

THIS! I’ve been saying this for days. Yes, we need to protect birthright citizenship, but this is far more significant than just that. Let’s not miss that very important point.

What the everlovin” F? This is complete nonsense. My brain hurts from trying to figure out what he’s saying here.

And hopefully she can and has done so. Certainly the press attention hasn’t hurt. But ICE has to release their own hold. A state judge cannot do that. Maybe we focus some attention on the Leon County deputies who assumed he was undocumented and arrested him, which started this whole shitshow.

Beverly Brennan @blbrennan.bsky.social · Apr 17

It was a state judge, who has no power when there is an ICE hold. He was released on the state charge and is now in the custody of ICE. Who SHOULD realize within 48 hours that he’s a citizen and release the hold, but who knows these days?

Beverly Brennan @blbrennan.bsky.social · Apr 17

There won’t be a trial. There was no PC for the arrest because he wasn’t actually undocumented. In theory, the State Attorney could still charge him, but they won’t, because he’s not undocumented. But none of that affects an ICE hold, and the state judge has no power over that.

Beverly Brennan @blbrennan.bsky.social · Apr 17

Florida lawyer here - he can be ordered released on the state charge and still incarcerated on the ICE hold. That doesn’t always show up on the docket.

2

Beverly Brennan @blbrennan.bsky.social · Apr 17

So what SHOULD happen is ICE realizes within 48 hours that he's a US citizen and releases their hold. The criminal charge was dropped. What will ACTUALLY happen? Who the F knows anymore?

But they kicked it back to the District Court, correct? Who can presumably impose a new deadline? I realize that gives them a chance to appeal again, but the District Court took it very seriously and presumably will do so again. With a VERY short deadline for compliance.

#Caturday is for napping on the arm of the couch. #CatsOfBlueSky #BlueSkyCats

A floofy grey and white cat is sleeping on a pastel fleece blanket on the arm of a red couch. A scratching post shaped like a Christmas tree and twinkly colored lights are behind her.

I'm going with deliberately stupid, remembering that these are the same people who killed a program to help disabled students transition to employment because it had the word "transition" in it.
