🚨New case🚨

Police in Norfolk, Virginia have completely blanketed the city with surveillance cameras. They can access the database of these cameras anytime w/o a warrant.

Today, @IJ filed a federal lawsuit challenging this mass surveillance system. 🧵

Sports, they’re not good

It’s really good that the Sixers drafted Mikal Bridges and then immediately traded him for a guy they almost killed because they didn’t realize he had a peanut allergy.

Every post-Hinkie front office person should spend the rest of their life in jail

“What Americans are starting to realize is there’s been an entire surveillance industry erected around them,” - @IJ's @Robert_Frommer tells @govtechnews on the proliferation of Flock cameras.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today is the Day of Remembrance for the Children Killed by Russia. Officially, it has a different name. But in the language of truth, this is exactly what it is. This day is about the most painful episodes of the war, about the greatest injustice and the evil Russia inflicts when the most vulnerable and the most innocent are killed. Children.

Currently, that figure is at least 707 Ukrainian children. And there are also thousands of children whom Russia has wounded, abducted, and thousands of children whose fate remains unknown. These are important and horrifying figures, but behind them lies something greater than statistics about Russian crimes alone. These were children's dreams, plans, and hopes that were simply erased. This is the pain of every mother and every father who does not know how to go on living with that. Living with such pain.

Our Ukrainian children. Some were only a few days old. Some had just started first grade. Others should have been celebrating their graduation. This is who a sick state is waging war against. This is who the so-called second army of the world is fighting – an army incapable of winning on the battlefield and seeking to assert itself by targeting children.

Eternal memory to every child who was killed. It is our enduring duty to remember, to protect our children, and to do everything possible to ensure that the evil Russia has brought is punished.

We have a Pole in the women's final and will have an Italian in the men's final.

My mom's side is Polish. My dad's side is Italian. They're calling it the Dan King Roland Garros. 🇵🇱🇮🇹

An important note from the parking minimums debate at Boston City Council today…

There are no credible planning, transportation, or housing ‘experts’ who support maintaining mandatory minimum parking requirements.

As public policy, they are scientifically indefensible.

Really cool that both finals teams have guys playing who the brilliant minds at the Sixers didn’t think were worth keeping around.

OH GOT IT SO IT DOES WORK LIKE THAT

And just like that, the village has already caved and agreed not to destroy Laura's garden.

Laura Schaefer, a botany instructor, transformed a set of vacant lots in Millstadt, Illinois into a flourishing garden of native plants and vegetables.

But the city has cited her for having "high grass and weeds."

Today, @IJ told the city to back off.

Each time, Leo tried to show his REAL ID. Didn't matter. His words on the stand: "They can suddenly show up and detain you without having done anything. Now I don't feel free to drive, to go to work or go to the store." 2/

Last week, I got to examine my first witnesses in court. And I couldn't have asked for a more important case: Leo, a U.S. citizen and construction worker, testified about being detained by ICE three times in the past year. Each time, he had his documents. None of it mattered. 1/

Anti-Weaponization Slush Fund Misses the Point

IJ Sr. Attorney Anya Bidwell:

[The Texan @TheTexanNews]

After the City of McKinney refused to compensate a woman for damage to her home during the police pursuit of a fugitive nearly six years ago, courts have awarded her $60,000, but that is a mere fraction of the cost of the litigation. https://t.co/3nJ2adMph0

The village's actions directly conflict with Illinois' Garden Act, which is meant to“encourage and protect the sustainable cultivation of fresh produce at all levels of production, including on residential property.”
