I think it's a pretty reasonable conclusion that any judge that now refuses to stop all lethal injections in the country immediately as an unquestionable Eighth Amendment violation has completely abrogated their duty as a judge and should be removed from the bench, all the way to SCOTUS.

I’ll have more in a newsletter going out shortly, but something to flag in the meantime: The AGs are seeking PATIENT INFORMATION, asking for “complete identification of the individuals...to whom [plaintiffs] prescribed and dispensed abortion drugs” to cross-check against Medicaid databases

We knew this was coming: Republican AGs have been in a race to get shield laws in front of SCOTUS. The suits also rely on anti-abortion strategies I’ve been tracking for years—including lies about coercion, bogus studies on mifepristone’s safety, free speech attacks, and fetal personhood.

just like the Fugitive Slave Act, conservatives demand that they can impose their evil systems upon liberal states, democracy be damned, but if liberal states so much as offer a mild disincentive for evil to make conservative state maybe Suck Less then it's unconstitutional tyrannical overreach

Here’s Pike’s 2024 constitutional rights complaint challenging Tennessee’s new lethal injection protocol: “it fails to provide a contingency plan with emergency medical services on-site in the event of a botch“
Tennessee's new lethal injection protocol, calling for a single drug
(pentobarbital), is plagued with the same issues that have marked botched executions for decades: secrecy, intentional omission, inattention to detail, and untrained and unlicensed prison personnel attempting to fill a medical role. As the State of Tennessee seeks to execute its first woman in 250 years, and the only woman on Tennessee's death row—Christa Gail Piko—those problems have come to a head.
The new protocol, as applied to the Plaintiff and her unique medical conditions, is unconstitutional under the United States Constitution and the TennesseeConstitution. Tennessee's execution protocol further violates the Eighth Amendment because it fails to provide a contingency plan with emergency medical services on-site in the event of a botch. This violation applies to clectrocution as well as lethal injection.
Because of these failures the new protocol and is sure or very likely to result in unnecessary and superadded pain and suffering, terror, and disgrace as applied to the Plaintiff.

a rapist led an all-male panel of catholics in determining that a woman who was raped for the first time when she was 2 years old must die tonight rather than living out the remainder of her life in prison. nothing to say except thank god i'm baptist & consequently believe in literal biblical hell.
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a conservative, granted Wednesday evening's application to vacate the stay of the execution. No explanation was provided in the order.

The top court's three liberal justices - Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson - dissented.

the majority on the Supreme Court who continuously overrides stays with zero consideration of the merits does so BECAUSE they enjoy being able to inflict pain and torturous death upon people. Never forget that. If Alito could push the button, if Thomas could pull the switch himself, they would.

There is a lot of "oh dear" to go around in the results of this very thorough Pew study on the issues with synthetic samples, but this strikes me as particularly "oh dear" www.pewresearch.org/data-labs/20...
AI polling results can lean on racial or partisan stereotypes

In many cases, our AI poll took beliefs or attitudes that are reasonably common among a particular subgroup and portrayed them as nearly ubiquitous. For example, our AI poll would indicate that:

    97% of Hispanic adults are at least somewhat likely to follow the World Cup (while the actual share is 43%).

The common thread in Pete Hegseth's rant to the troops, JD Vance suggesting Talarico is a pedophile, Brendan Carr calling the Trump ads aired with tax dollars "normal force PSAs," and Eric Schmitt fabricating a Jack Smith conspiracy is the whole GOP is incentivized to be performatively evil.

We recently helped another cat with severe, debilitating IBD whose symptoms reminded me so much of Eevee, but to get him well from the brink of death cost over $12,000. Simply put, we do not have that right now. But I can’t just continue to let Eevee slip away without doing everything we can to try.

I make a promise to all of our adopters that we will never turn our back on a former C4C cat. I stand by that. We are partnering with Eevee’s adopters who have always gone above & beyond for her to try to get her well, and she’s currently in the hospital getting emergency care & more diagnostics.

She has lost interest in food, where normally she never has refused anything offered to her. She has struggled with her weight and body condition over the last year and a half, but she is now really wasting away, not grooming herself or interested in playing. She’s fading & we still don’t know why.

Not long after her adoption, her symptoms returned (despite no change in her food). She went through so many rounds of fecal tests, PCRs, bloodwork, X-rays, special diets, allergy treatments, and nothing has definitely helped her. Every time we get close, she relapses. Now, she’s taken a real turn.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
