This is the kind of shit you get when you appoint dog killers to high office. It’s a signal to the worst people all the way down the org chart.
US Marshals, acting on behalf of the DOJ in Memphis, TN, kicked a dog during an arrest, leaving it with a broken rib.

Our system absolutely falls on its face when it comes to things that are hard to quantify or where we can’t attribute a single cause to a single, immediate effect.
Our failure to provide basic civics education has come at a staggering public cost.
It’s worth asking who has benefited from that.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

What's happening in courts and in the doj needs to be reported on and seen to understand how unprecedented the present is.

I wrote this thread last night while in the midst of doing the reporting and research and reading that I needed to do to do this story right — www.lawdork.com/p/the-system... — but it feels all the more important today, following the Post news.
One of the things that I most like about the way that I am able to operate at Law Dork is that when I want to spend time looking into something before I write, I just do it. When I think I need to spend more time on the law behind something before I tell you what’s going on, I just do it.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."
