It’s great Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free, after so much US govt effort to violate his rights.
And it’s good the regime has bogged down, tying up some of its limited resources in this failing effort.
And good few listened to the “popularists” who said don’t talk about Abrego, immigration, or rights.

When Microsoft, Stripe, and Shopify supported Running Tide a few years ago, the due diligence was done by people who didn't know anything about the ocean. This was exactly why I got interested in monitoring, reporting, and verification for marine CO₂ removal. Things are very different today.
With support from Microsoft, Stripe, and Shopify, Running Tide billed itself as on the cutting edge of carbon removal. In the end, it resorted to dumping thousands of tons of wood chips in the sea. www.wired.com/story/how-th...

JUST IN: It appears Democrats will win the mayor's office in Miami.
This would be a flip from GOP.
It's not final yet, but Democrat Eileen Higgins is up 61% to 39% as the first 23K ballots are counted. That's *the majority of votes cast*, & Election Day is no less Democratic today.
More soon!

This fall, Hawaii's supreme court rejected an argument that recording interrogations is burdensome for police: “If children can record everyday events with ease, law enforcement cannot claim hardship to record perhaps its most consequential investigative act.”
Hawaii Supreme Court Expands Rights of Defendants, and Once Again Rebukes SCOTUS
The justices ruled that Hawaii’s constitution requires police to record interrogations. And they vowed to protect due process for Hawaii residents—unlike, they said, the Roberts Court.

It’s just ad hoc rule-making to benefit Republicans and their billionaire owners.
That’s the Roberts Court.
There is no coherent legal theory that can square its rulings. There are no ethical standards.
It’s corrupt and illegitimate. And it must be dismantled.

According to this Supreme Court:

✅ Using race to disenfranchise minorities in elecciones
The only consistency is white supremacy.
