Nothing at all. It's amazing how calm the political world has been. No tweets from the President attacking anyone who disagrees with him. No pardons for drug dealers. Nothing untoward by the Defense Secretary. No real estate developers put in charge of going to see Putin to find peace....I wish.

I'm wondering which side those posts motivate more. It feels like the people who aspire for a just system don't need any more evidence of how much is at stake.

@miafarrow.bsky.social The government documents are only to be released when they are favorable. Maybe they fear a national security issue if the public is well informed.

At issue: whether people should be locked up pretrial even if the state cannot demonstrate they are likely a danger to the public or a flight risk. These are defendants awaiting trial, presumed innocent. If they are dangerous they should be locked up. If not, on what basis should they?

And how do we know what we don't know?

"Lock him up." The insanity of our times.
