In light of we've learned about the execution team's struggle to establish IV access before Christa Pike's failed lethal injection, here's a story I wrote in June after Carruthers. The new protocol TN adopted in 2025 reduced training in IV placement. nashvillebanner.com/2026/06/30/t...

Lethal injection protocol likely led to botched execution - Nashville Banner
Tennessee's current lethal injection protocol includes reduced training on IV placement, an issue that caused the state to halt Tony Carruthers' execution.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

I watched C-SPAN today and saw a senator make an ass of himself. What bothers me is that they don't proclaim that Trump is innocent, they just attack Mr Smith. I think they know Trump committed crimes.

If your real goal were to do mass DEPORTATION, you wouldn’t be building gigantic housing facilities to hold people in captivity in filthy conditions for long periods of time. If they wanted to deport people, they’d be spending taxpayer money on AIRPLANES. Not on PRISONS.

C-SPAN statement yesterday was particularly notable www.facebook.com/CSPAN/posts/...
statement from C-SPAN, subtitled DEMOCRACY UNFILTERED, reading

For nearly five decades, C-SPAN has advocated for greater public and
media access to our democratic institutions. We have urged Congress
to open more of its proceedings to independent television coverage,
called on the Supreme Court to allow cameras in its courtroom, and
consistently supported greater access to the presidency.
C-SPAN typically stays out of the news cycle and lets the sights and
sounds of politics speak for themselves. But access to America’s
leaders and institutions is at the heart of our public service mission —
and throughout our history, our colleagues in the news media have
supported our efforts to bring more openness to government.
It is in that same spirit that we urge the Trump administration to reverse
its decision and immediately restore White House access to CNN, MS
NOW and Politico. C-SPAN stands in solidarity with our colleagues as
they seek to simply do the work that America's constitution guarantees
them the freedom to do and upon which our democracy depends.The
answer should always be more access to our government, not less.
That openness serves the American public and strengthens our
democracy.
Statement from Sam Feist, C-SPAN CEO

Steps to take in the event of immigration raids:

Gather all your important documents

Let a trusted family member know where to find them

Give your child’s school a list of trusted adults who can pick up your child if you are detained by ICE

Consult with an immigration attorneyA graphic that reads:

What should you do if ICE comes to your door?

Don’t open the door without a valid warrant signed by a judge

Remain silent! You have the right to not speak

Ensure everyone in the home remains calm and don’t attempt to interfere with an ICE officer

Don’t sign anything without speaking to an attorney

Call your attorney or seek legal help at (617) 988-0606A graphic that reads:

What happens if ICE comes to your work?

Don’t provide false documents and don’t carry them with you

Don’t attempt to interfere with an ICE officer

Tell them you’d like to speak to your attorney and don’t sign anything without speaking to one

Keep important phone numbers with you

If ICE detains you while at work and you have children at home, make sure you inform ICE
