Having worked on multiple pro bono SIV applications for Afghanistan nationals since 2021, I didn’t need the State Department to tell me the United States’ withdrawal was a catastrophic failure at basically every level… but I’m glad they admitted it. 🤷‍♀️

[ABC News @ABC]

The State Department released a declassified version of its long-anticipated report examining the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, unveiling the harshest critique of any of the administration's efforts to examine its own handling of the crisis to date. https://t.co/SxvEFthx8f

The Tonca is an event in Trento, Italy, where every 19th of June a ceremonial jury sentences the local politician that committed the year's worst blunder to be locked in a cage and dunked in the river.

Tradition is important. 🤣 Happy June 19th !!!

@thesonsofzadok @FirstLa39515458 @RomanGoddess72 @tariqnasheed @CommunityNotes I am a lawyer. Lying and falsifying evidence will get you disbarred. Additionally, reasonable doubt is only relevant in criminal cases. In a civil case, you only need to prove your claim by a preponderance of the evidence. These are very different standards. Educate yourself.

@tariqnasheed Don’t be a pos and make fake allegations about a pregnant woman with receipts.

I’m weirdly superstitious about sports and never openly root for a team before a game I really care about. Friend found out I’m a huge Rangers fan and asked about it right before the game. Should’ve brushed her off but I broke the rule AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED. #nyr 😭

This will take time to play out, but make no mistake, this is the CFTC going for the jugular.

As I said earlier, the CFTC doesn't go after small frequent cases like the SEC.

It's a different beast and it's cases are often fatal.

#GPT4 saved my dog's life.

After my dog got diagnosed with a tick-borne disease, the vet started her on the proper treatment, and despite a serious anemia, her condition seemed to be improving relatively well.

After a few days however, things took a turn for the worse 1/

One of my favorite actors of all time — Lance Reddick was a truly charismatic presence in every scene he appeared in. A genuine loss. RIP. 🕊️

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

A man of great strength and grace. As talented a musician as he was an actor. The epitome of class. An sudden unexpected sharp painful grief for our artistic family. An unimaginable suffering for his personal family and loved ones. Godspeed my friend. You made your mark here. RIP

Having spent part of my 1st yr of legal practice working on “living wills” for banks, I’m rooting for @CreditSuisse. For several reasons, 1 being that their ability to withstand an IRL stress event helps prove the Basel3 reqs are effective. If they can’t, good luck to all GSIBs.

Look, I don’t know who in @Equinox’s marketing dept needs to hear this but this ad campaign is terrible. Like, oh yeah, you’re right, I can’t get those days back. So, why would I want to spend them in the gym like some sort of hamster on a wheel?
