Truly disturbing ruling this am: SCOTUS holds that a man sitting in prison for conduct that WAS NOT A CRIME has no avenue to raise that claim. How can that be right?

While no victory is single-handed, @RossDeuel’s leadership in this case is undeniable, as is the exceptional work of the @NAACP_LDF Milligan team: @SamSpital, Stuart Naifeh, Ashley Burrell, Brittany Carter, Kathryn Sadasivan, Tanner Lockhead, Leah Aden, Adam Lioz, & many others.

"If increased law enforcement and incarceration were the keys to community safety, Black neighborhoods would be the safest in the world. The punishment-only experiment has failed. It’s time to invest in solutions that actually help us." 💯

This guy thinks there are too many administrative rules, but literally just unilaterally tried to issue a rule about something well outside his authority. What a joke.

[Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt]

Today I filed my first piece of legislation. It requires federal bureaucrats to repeal at least 3 regulations before they propose a new one.

It’s an important first step towards structural reform of the Administrative State. I am absolutely committed to this cause. More to come!

Get ready for the next set of leaked emails.

The American College of Pediatricians, also one of the big anti-trans and anti-abortion orgs, let 10,000 files leak. They are a psuedo-science fake medical organization used in state bans like Florida.

tw: lynching

from the bottom of my heart- FUCK the New York Post, the Mayor of New York City, and anyone who has spent time and resources normalizing the criminalization of exploited people, including by funding cops and encouraging white people to be vigilantes

"AG's office criticized the plaintiffs’ characterization that Bailey was a “despot” who was pushing the rules through unilaterally.

In response, the ACLU of Missouri’s Rothert responded: 'That’s absolutely true. That’s exactly what we’re saying.'”

“It is…like asking white supremacists to abolish themselves.”

This rings so true as I reflect on ways Oregon dems have lost their minds reacting to common sense concerns about decades long patterns of government abuse. Classic white fragility tantrums.

[ACLU of Missouri @aclu_mo]

The ACLU of Missouri, @LambdaLegal, and @BCLPlaw filed a petition seeking a temporary restraining order to block implementation of the MO AG’s unprecedented and extreme restrictions on gender affirming care for trans people of all ages in the state.

Our new investigation reveals how on ‘Tear Gas Tuesday’—2 June 2020 in Portland, Oregon—@PortlandPolice exposed protesters to concentrations of tear gas 100s of times higher than what the federal govt calls ‘immediately dangerous to life and health’.

BREAKING: A judge in North Dakota just blocked clean water protections for almost HALF of the states in the country. Everyone has a right to access clean water, this isn't a radical, political stance. https://t.co/w9ylgLfLcJ

[ACLU of Missouri @aclu_mo]

The ACLU of Missouri and @LambdaLegal released the following statement concerning the AG's dangerous emergency regulation restricting access to gender affirming care:

"The Attorney General’s so-called emergency rule is based on distorted, misleading, and debunked claims and...

[ACLU of Missouri @aclu_mo]

Any person affected by this regulation on gender-affirming care is welcome to contact the Legal Help Desk at Lambda Legal or the ACLU of Missouri for more information on their legal rights and local resources.
