Deb taught me so much about leveraging the law on behalf of imprisoned and other marginalized people during my time at @GeorgetownLaw. If you get the chance to work with her, you absolutely should.

@DebGoldenDC This is dumb bc we’ve never met but you are one of the people who vanished and I noticed. Hope you’re well.

TAKE ACTION: Tell @BureauOfPrisons to stop pushing plans for a new federal prison that will further the disaster of mass incarceration, threaten the health of prisoners, and harm the unique biodiversity of Central Appalachia.

@jacopocomin @DiplomatOfNight @NickTagliaferro @saoirsefashion My work is all civil, related to the criminal system. I really don't know the answer here. But it does sound concerning. I don't like the idea of banning someone from a place they live.

@DiplomatOfNight @NickTagliaferro @saoirsefashion It imo depends on if this is like a probation condition or something else, but the existing murkiness plus the fact that it’s a ban on *entry* gives me pause -@DebGoldenDC, you do crim work, what do you think?

Fed up with making money for an antisemitic asshole? DM me if you want a Bluesky invite code.

DM if you want a Bluesky invite code. Or just give your credit card info to a goof that shouldn't be trusted with safety scissors

As I said in this story -- I cannot think of a time where that many guards were fired that quickly. This must have been extraordinary violence.
Paul Flahive@paulflahive
Texas Prison guards put an inmate who assaulted one of them in the hospital. The state says they used excessive force and seven were fired, six resigned and a criminal investigation is ongoing. tpr.org/criminal-justi…

When the minute order couldn't be any clearer:
"Court advised the parties to consider carefully and discuss settlement in this case."

Although this case wasn't a QI question, these facts highlight the bullshit at the heart of qualified immunity. Guards don't just need clear case law to tell them what to do. They don't care about case law. Even when it is literally handed to them.
Raffi Melkonian@RMFifthCircuit
A devoted Rastafarian wanted to keep his locks while imprisoned, and TOOK a copy of the Fifth Circuit's opinion saying he could with him to intake. The guards threw it away and forcibly shaved him. However, he loses his case for damages under circuit precedent. Link coming.

My favorite amusement left on this dumpster for is watching people go 🤯 when they are reminded Akiva is frum
akivamcohen.bsky.social@AkivaMCohen
Hard disagree on the second and third. I fully understand that the Wiccan Rede ("an ye harm none ...") has become the baseline rule by which most people assess morality these days, but (1) I don't think it's the correct one and (2) the commodification of sex does harm ppl, IMO.
