10 years after a landmark US Supreme Court case limiting extreme sentences for children, a new report from @thecfsy.bsky.social assesses progress and gaps.
The plaintiff, Henry Montgomery, says, "Men who have done 20, 30, 40 years, it's time for them to come home."

No civil rights violation probe into latest MN shooting, sources tell MS NOW

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Let me try to articulate what I think the central economic issue of the current moment really is.
Wolfers: This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. But that’s exactly what this president is doing

Nice try, but we remember who put these vaccine deniers in positions of power… and who, once they proved utterly unfaithful to their promises, are still keeping them there.
Sen Cassidy: “Claiming that risk from vaccines is greater than the threat from disease has led to highest rate of measles in decades. Undermining faith in polio vaccine will lead to paralyzed children. What others are doing will be blamed on President Trump. Unfair but true.”
