What’s the point of *not* seeking justice for crimes? To teach Americans that crime is ok if you’re a billionaire? Too many Americans already think that.

The goal in detaining these children, a former official says, is “to make sure no one ever sends their kids to the US again.” Read @samanthamichaels.bsky.social + @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social report on the administration's new family separation policy that targets children in the nation's interior.

I was thinking this the other day. What has AI achieved so far that comes remotely close to balancing out the possibility it kills us all? Like if it had cured cancer or figured out life on Mars, maybe I’d hedge my bets, but so far it’s just a lot of fake-concerned bots leaving me voicemails

If you want some backstory as to TN and lethal injection. I wrote at length in 2018 as TN sought to restart executions using a new protocol — a method it has since replaced. It’s not an exaggeration to say that when it comes to lethal injection, states have always been making it up as they go along.

Chilling Testimony in a Tennessee Trial Exposes Lethal Injection as Court-Sanctioned Torture

The trial was a case study in the twisted legacy of Glossip v. Gross — and a chilling look at the botched executions that continue amid little controversy.
