Kids as young as 3 and 4 years old are being hauled into immigration court in Seattle and read their rights.
They’re being told they have the right to an attorney despite having no capacity to hire one or understand what that means.
As Rep Jayapal says, that’s not due process… it’s a farce.

I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).

Missing shoes also tell us a bit about footwear practices. Statues that depict people in worship, or statues destined for temples, show people without shoes.
Gudea, a Sumerian ruler from the ~2100s BCE, left behind numerous barefoot statues. Entering a temple may have meant you had to remove shoes

Recent studies have uncovered the vibrant colours that once covered ancient Assyrian palace reliefs.
Sandals were often red and black, two predominant colours in the reliefs of king Ashurnasirpal II’s palace at Nimrud.

Cuneiform records on clay tell us that shoes were often made of leather, and some go into incredible detail.
The shoe archive of Puzrish-Dagan ~2100-2000 BCE is a goldmine of info on shoe production. One text tells us the workshop produced 702 shoes in 14 months.

I have a strong suspicion that someone used an AI summary here. The phrase “exceedingly limited” in this context appears in an article by Judge J. Michael Luttig, in The Atlantic. But the cite gets the context completely wrong. Here’s what Judge Luttig says:
Question about the dissent by (the far-right) Justice Ziegler: Does this quote actually appear in Moore v. Harper? Did Moore say that state courts' role in congressional redistricting is "exceedingly limited"? I don't think it did! vhdshf2oms2wcnsvk7sdv3so.blob.core.windows.net/thearp-media...
