the response should be immediate contempt proceedings all the way up the chain of command to the ICE/ERO directors including escalating fines and orders to personally appear in court. if that doesn't do the trick, criminal contempt, throw them in jail. play stupid games, win stupid prizes

So much Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks in this. And the visual palette's often tapelike look, with maxed out tone, mushy darks, and bleeding colors is the right kind of nostalgia; that is, toxic and corrosive. I also want the McMansion Hell long read on the architecture and design of the homes.

I cannot fathom the perspective of anyone who thinks the movie is endorsing/redemptive of Chris Hansen and the entire To Catch A Predator enterprise OR overly sympathetic to the subjects of the program. The movie is focused on the different ways people justify their pursuit of fame, wealth, & power

Absolute sicko shit from everyone but Pattinson, Wever, and Oppenheim in particular. The abyss isn't just staring back, it's coming to your living room at 9 pm/8 Central. Oppenheim's assaultive collage of the news and pop culture of the time is perfect. You see how this looks, right? (complimentary)

Pablo F. v. Blanche, No. 26-CV-3889, 2026 WL 2874903 drive.google.com/file/d/1L5FN...

Will is 100% right. Has happened to multiple clients of mine. One judge (not my case) has said that this isn't really release and ordered the person *actually* released. But it's forcing us habeas attorneys to win our cases twice (or more)
On September 9, 2026, Respondents permitted Pablo F. to exit the building where 
he was detained, but he was immediately swarmed by four ICE officers and handcuffed as 
soon as he stepped outside. (Doc. No. 25-3 at 4:48:45–4:49:26.)3
 The officers drove him
to the back of the Whipple building and returned him to a holding cell. (Doc. No. 21 ¶¶ 8–
9; Doc. No. 25 ¶ 5.) During this encounter, officers dislocated Pablo F.’s shoulder. (Doc. 
No. 21 ¶ 7.)4
 Pablo F. now bringsthis Motion seeking to enforce the Court’s Order granting 
the Petition.Again, Respondents make no attempt whatsoever to support their assertion that 
Pablo F. was released. Absent any such argument, the Court cannot agree that a reasonable 
person would have felt free to leave when exiting the detention facility and immediately 
being stopped by ICE officers. Likewise, absent some argument, the Court necessarily 
concludes that Pablo F. was subject to restraints not shared by the public generally when 
he took one step outside of the detention facility and was immediately stopped by ICE 
officers who forcibly returned him to a detention cell. Because Respondents do not make 
any legal argument that Pablo F. was ever meaningfully released from custody, the Court 
grants the motion and orders Pablo F.’s release.6
6 To be clear, Pablo F. is not arguing, and the Court is not concluding, that an order of 
release in a habeas matter renders unlawful any future arrests. Rather, the Court reaches 
the narrow conclusion that because Respondents advance no legal argument in this case to 
support their assertion that Pablo F. was released from custody, and because the 
uncontested facts show that ICE officers immediately swarmed Pablo F. as soon as he 
stepped out of the building, Pablo F. was not released from custody.

In many ways I very much agree with you, but that private practice was in the vaunted appellate practice at the firm now known as Hogan Lovells, one of the very most elite appellate practices in the country. He argued 18 Supreme Court cases for money. That is very much enough to set you for life.

Apropos of John Roberts feeling sad that he might be faced with the consequences of his actions, it's important to remember that he is a vain creature with an incredible preoccupation on his own legacy who really wants to be respected above all else. A shift may come www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
For a long time, the chief justice’s life here was a story of potluck dinners and easy friendships, according to a summer of interviews with more than two dozen residents. Neighbors reveled in his position but kept exchanges with him about it brief or light. At a long-ago annual summer party, he used to participate in touch football, then call dinner to order by proclaiming: “Oyez, oyez, oyez, the lobsters are ready.”

But in recent years, as the Supreme Court has reshaped American life and handed more power to President Trump, a very personal form of anger has been rising here at the chief justice, transforming his getaways.

His summer retreats, long a well-known fact, are now a source of debate. Neighbors have taken to the water to protest him. Calling themselves “kayak-tivists,” they form flotillas facing his island home, holding waterproof signs conveying their disappointment. A local newspaper columnist recommended that people in town give him the finger.But the protesters did encounter another member of his household. After an August 2025 protest, Ms. Shaw Glaser and other demonstrators were standing near the Port Clyde dock when a young woman approached them with a serious look on her face. She asked them: What did they hope to accomplish? Had they considered how their actions affected the chief justice’s wife and children?

Only then did she identify herself. She said she was Josephine Roberts, the chief’s daughter, then 25, according to Ms. Shaw Glaser, who wrote about it in her journal. Another protester also wrote about the scene in a message to a friend afterward.

Her father wasn’t even home, Ms. Roberts told them. He respected that she had her own left-leaning political views, she said, according to the protesters’ written accounts. And he was a wonderful father, she added.Longtime neighbors and friends said the chief justice drew back. With rising violent threats against public officials, including a 2022 attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s life, security has been tightened. The chief justice took walks and briefly dropped in on a concert this summer, but his detail stayed close around him. On Sundays after church, he used to hang out on the dock. Now, with the protesters, he stayed away all day.

The shift has been “hard to watch,” said Tamara Cody, the owner of Port Clyde Kayaks and a longtime friend of the chief justice’s.

The chief justice and his wife did attend cigar club gatherings, friends said, but some former members said in interviews that they sent their own regrets, in part because they were not interested in socializing with the Robertses.

On the morning of January 7, 2026, Renee Nicole Macklin Good (“Renee”), 
a thirty-seven-year-old United States citizen, poet, and mother of three, dropped her six
year-old son off at school, drove home through her own south Minneapolis neighborhood,

operating there. They were masked, as was their practice throughout Operation Metro 
Surge. Renee honked her horn to warn her neighbors. Her partner got out and began to 
film. Renee stayed behind the wheel. She was not the target of any investigation, and she 
was breaking no law that any federal officer had authority to enforce. Numerous vehicles,

Renee Good's family files two lawsuits

The family of Renee Good, the Minneapolis woman who was fatally shot by a federal immigration enforcement agent near her home in January, filed two federal lawsuits Thursday alleging wrongful death, among other contentions.

The suits names as defendants Jonathan Ross, the agent who killed Good as she sat in her SUV on Portland Avenue, numerous other federal agents and various current and former Trump administration officials.

“Renee’s death was not an accident,” read a news release from Chicago-based Romanucci & Blandin, the law firm representing Good’s family members. “It was the predictable result of a coordinated campaign by senior officials in this administration to target Minnesotans of Somali or Hispanic origin and silence anyone who dared to raise their voice in protest.

“Operation Metro Surge was built on exaggerated fraud accusations that the White House embraced as a pretext for thousands of masked, unidentified federal agents to rove neighborhoods and stop people based on how they looked. Administration officials told agents to force confrontations with observers like Renee and led agents to believe they would face no consequences for using force.”Paul Walsh
This is what the lawsuit alleges

The suit’s allegations include the actions of ICE agent Jonathan Ross and Renee Good in the moments leading up to and including the shooting:

    Good was unarmed, was suspected of no crime, and was not the subject of any law enforcement investigation.
    Her stopped vehicle had not prevented traffic (including Ross’s own vehicle) from proceeding.
    She had spoken to Ross moments earlier in calm and conciliatory terms.
    She had turned her wheels away from Ross and was driving slowly away from him and the other agents.
    Ross had moved his legs and body out of the vehicle’s path, and was out of its path, before he fired and then leaned toward the vehicle to improve his shooting position.
    No person was in the path of the vehicle, and the second and third shots, including the fatal shot to Good’s left temple, were fired through the open driver’s side window from the side of the vehicle as it moved away.

What are the Council Members supposed to do? They can't recall the Mayor, that's for the citizens. They have zero legal authority over the City Attorney's Office. I'm not trying to make them out to be helpless, but I don't know what levers they really have.

The kind of law firms that defend sexual harassment cases against employers are the kind of firms that do union-busting. I hate it too, but there aren't a lot of pro-worker firms that defend employers when works sue them for this kind of conduct.
050
Daniel Suitor @danielsuitor.com · 01/10/2026
I am glad that, after the closed door meeting, some Council Members have been transparent with the public, explaining the legal landscape and their reasoning. And it is still possible outside counsel could make a decision not to defend and indemnify if it finds "malfeasance" occurred. But a high bar
To constitute malfeasance or nonfeasance the conduct must be such as affects the performance of official duties rather than conduct which affects the official's personal character as a private individual. State ex rel. Martin v. Burnquist, 141 Minn. 308, 170 N.W. 201, 609. Although affecting the performance of official duties, the conduct ‘must relate to something of a substantial nature directly affecting the rights and interests of the public.’ State ex rel. Kinsella v. Eberhart, 116 Minn. 313, 321, 133 N.W. 856, 860, 39 L.R.A.,N.S., 788.
4
That which constitutes malfeasance in an official capacity is not susceptible of an exact definition. It ‘has reference to evil conduct or an illegal deed, the doing of that which one ought not to do, the performance of an act by an officer in his official capacity that is wholly illegal and wrongful.‘ 43 Am.Jur., Public Officers, s 195.1
5
With respect to nonfeasance it is the ‘neglect or refusal, without sufficient excuse, to do that which is the officer's legal dut to do.‘ 43 Am.Jur., Public Officers, s 196. We see no elements of nonfeasance in the present case.

Daniel Suitor @danielsuitor.com · 01/10/2026
If I'm going to be critical of the St. Paul City Council when they make bad legal decisions (e.g. tanking Right to Repair), I have to be fair when they make the right ones. A vote to hire an outside law firm is not an endorsement of Her's conduct. It's the best choice among a bad slate of options
