#SCOTUS says prosecutors improperly charged hundreds of #Jan6 #insurrectionists
Federal prosecutors improperly charged hundreds of #J6 defendants w/ #obstruction, the #SupremeCourt ruled on Fri, upending many cases against #insurgents who #invaded, #vandalized & #terrorized the Capitol to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

I highly recommend that people read Justice Sotomayor's dissent in this case. It's a difficult read, but important.
Cities can now criminalize unhoused people sleeping in public areas.
Justice Sotomayor: “Sleep is a biological necessity, not a crime.”

Chevron has been overruled. Courts will no longer defer to agency interpretation of law when a statute is ambiguous.

Been trying this out secretly for the past few weeks — a "catch-up" timeline page. Did whole bunch of iterations, where I myself is the guinea pig, but this time reaching a point where I just got to share it out in the public.
- NOT final design, still very experimental, only on my local machine
- Instead of algo timeline, this is focused on data-grid-like UI for configuring exactly what I want to see.
- This honestly could be another full-fledged app/client by itself 🫠
I’m an adult and that means I can put a tent on my bed and nobody can stop me.
Sorry I was an idiot if you met me at any time in my life

Hoping the Fediverse can help me with some #legal research. I am currently writing a paper on #evictions, and am in the process of explaining how difficult the legal process is for #tenants without access to legal representation. I would like to cite specific figures about what percentage of #eviction judgments are successfully appealed and reversed nationwide, but I am unable to find any sources (No luck from #EvictionLab or Matthew Desmond's other projects on this). Do any legal wizards happen to know where I could find this information? Thank you! #Law #LandlordTenant #lawfedi #tenantrights @law
Republicans all over the United States are pushing to remove child labor protection laws. If they get what they want, the OSHA penalty won’t even be there.
I’ve already had to block at least a dozen accounts today taking a troll on Democrats. Keep it up if this is what outcome you’re after. You’ll get it.

Today's theme is Normal!
You can take this test to see how "Normal" you are, and also how radically left wing you are! LOL Please share the results if you feel like it, or do nothing at all, because it really doesn't matter!
@RickiTarr How I generally describe myself: I’m a bit left-leaning.
Me in actuality:
