I am deadly serious when I say that any liberal Project 2028 people should be taking names of the civil servants who go way past their authority to do stuff like this.

That is very much not me saying that normal employees following bad orders should be fired. But there’s a line. This crosses it.
That should be a career ending act of corruption

"The jury verdict from 10 years ago contains a scrivener's error insofar as it states that the defendant was not guilty. We are changing that, nunc pro tunc, to guilty."

Yeah, no.
It is not! A “scrivener’s error” is for things like fixing typos or very minor non-material errors, not retroactively adding a deportation order that doesn’t current exist!
Is "correcting" a previous order like this a real thing?

New: a suit filed in federal court late Weds alleges high-ranking cops in CPD—& other city officials—ignored a detective's complaints about fellow officer Marco Torres.

He's accused of "physically, mentally and sexually" abusing her, intimidating witnesses, and trying to put out a hit on her:
CPD leaders knew cop proposed hiring hitman to kill fellow detective, new federal lawsuit alleges
Attorneys say their client has faced years of violent abuse and threats at the hands of another detective while top brass and city officials have refused to investigate or discipline him.

"If the commission decides to retract tribes' ability to veto hydropower projects, it will mark a shift [.] between Indigenous nations and the federal government."

"The only thing I'm optimistic about is that Indigenous people know that they need to continue to fight."
#Arizona #USA #Water #Climate
The Navajo Nation said no to a hydropower project. Trump officials want to ensure tribes can't do that again.
The U.S. Energy Secretary said allowing tribes to weigh in on energy projects on their land creates "unnecessary burdens."

Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬

He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!

Chavarria, a U.S. citizen, was held at the airport "for more than four hours and released only after he finally agreed to let the agents search his smartphone, tablet, and laptop computer. The agents...informed him that he had no Fourth Amendment right to resist." @pacificlegal.bsky.social is suing.
CBP agents held this U.S. citizen for hours until he agreed to let them search his electronic devices
A federal lawsuit argues that perusing travelers' personal data without a warrant or probable cause violates the Fourth Amendment.

I'm sorry but I don't think what Lizza is doing is comparable to revenge porn. Nuzzi has made a lot of serious allegations against him over the course of 2 years and he is responding.

Some of the rollout has been tacky, but it's not illegitimate to set the record straight and tell the full story.

SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.

I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.
