Supreme court to hear case challenging Trump’s immigration detention policy
Court will review practice of indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants living in the US The US supreme court agreed on Thursday to take up a case challenging the Trump administration’s practice of indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants living in the US and awaiting deportation proceedings.

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, as a child. Off panel, someone says to her, “Enjoy your youth!”
The second panel shows child Sarah again, now frowning. The person off panel continues, saying “After you’re 30 you’ll be old and your life will basically be over.”
Before the last two panels there is text that reads “LIFE AFTER I TURNED 30.”
The third panel shows adult Sarah opening a door.
The fourth panel shows the door opens to a beautiful field with flowers, a rainbow, and a pond. Sarah says “Wait what.”

Hordak then takes all the village children to put them in a special school in the Fright Zone. She-Ra obvs saves the day in the end, and emphasizes the importance of reading books. Look at 80s cartoons teaching kids that fascism and book banning and locking up kids is bad, and being all political.

We were united for about eight minutes. What followed was a decade, that still persists to this day, marked by mass psychosis, paranoia, jingoism, racism, bigotry, the loss of rights and freedoms, the rise of the surveillance state, and, of course, wars that made the country and the world less safe.

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result. Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE. www.npr.org/2026/09/11/n...
