So, just a reminder to people. Amnesty International is a shit organization very likely bought and paid for by russia. It also uses high pressure, high commission sales tactics to try & get yearly subscriptions donations. I experienced this at my own door & asked the fellow to own up. He did.

They said on-line isn’t real life, and Bluesky is a niche social media site.

But here is @akalhan.bsky.social getting “Kavanaugh Stops” into the Boston Globe!

With a pic of Kav looking a little petulant too (but then when doesn’t he?).

Glad to see this is sticking to him.

Critics of Trump’s immigration crackdown are using the term ‘Kavanaugh stop.’ Here’s what it means. - The Boston Globe

The phrase, is "a window into where [the administration] can go next," some advocates say.

Arkansas soybean farmer goes on CNN to talk about how he's being crushed by Trump's tariffs: "We don't know where we're at."

He lives in the district of Rep. Rick Crawford, who hasn't issued a peep of protest of this pointless policy.

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE.

This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never.

May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

I don’t love the photo desk’s decision to illustrate this story with a photo of the judge at a naturalization ceremony. This is not like a highly personal thing; what the administration has done in charging Abrego Garcia is pretty obviously vindictive.
