Pierre Damas Bel was killed Monday after he stepped into traffic on Interstate 70 near Springfield, Ohio. The Haitian immigrant's family says he had become increasingly depressed over the ICE ankle monitor he was issued in late July.

The device, they say, sidelined him from playing soccer, stopped him from getting a new ROTC uniform and prompted bullying from some of his classmates. https://t.co/tSylnZ2Yrn

Yes, but it is typical of SCOTUS. Justiciability doctrines are manipulated to promote agendas—intervene or stay out—including husbanding the institution’s prestige. The ultimate reform isn’t to tinker with doctrine but to downsize the institution’s power overall.

Advocates of the Flock panopticon want us to focus on some bad apples within law enforcement misusing this otherwise benign technology for nefarious purposes as a way to distract from more substantial questions around privacy, civil liberties and mass surveillance

you’ll be shocked to learn Flock’s biggest investor is Andreessen Horowitz who is also an early seed investor in Free Press (both in 2021) which is oddly not disclosed in this segment

It doesn’t matter if the man killed by ICE in Maine was authorized to work in the United States or not. It doesn’t matter if he had a social security or not. ICE should not be killing anyone. Period.

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

Reminder: Memphis is still “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Task force members have reportedly killed at least two people in four days. https://t.co/4j6zFzXoTJ

Mysterious ‘cold blob’ in the Atlantic suggests the AMOC is weakening

A patch of ocean south-east of Greenland is the only place on Earth that is cooling, and it could be a sign that the warm water “conveyor belt” in the Atlantic is slowing down

Fahd Abu Heikal carries the body of his infant son Sam, who was executed yesterday night by israeli troops for being born Palestinian

[Luke Pickrell @LukePickrell]

This ruling shows why we need a democratic constitution based on legislative supremacy and a unicameral legislature elected by universal, equal, and proportional representation.

[Lee Drutman ⚙️🏛 @leedrutman]

At that point, why not just mandate proportional representation for all states and be done with this un-winnable gerrymandering war?

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

Stealing is bad never applies to crypto, or private equity, or Israeli land theft, or wall street's mass evictions in the subprime crisis aftermath, or to resources plundered in illegal foreign wars, or to concepts like time and well being, with mass imprisonment and austerity.

Today is the 40th day (chehelom) since the slaughter of 168 schoolchildren in Minab by a US double-tap strike. May their memories forever be a blessing to their families and may the misery that these families were subjected to forever haunt those who murdered their children.

A San Diego cop fatally shot a Black teen running for his life from an active shooter, without ever giving him a chance to ID himself.

idk, seems like there actually is a relatively simple way to end this war: stop bombing Iran and cut off all aid to Israel

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: https://t.co/z3NLMTIjve

Kansas cops shot a Black man 34 times while he was far away, then tried to sell the story that he was attacking them with a knife.
