New from me: Here's part two of my series on the wrongful conviction and death sentence of Chris Duncan. It's a long read, but I hope you'll check it out. (Just a warning: This piece does contain disturbing post-mortem images of a toddler's cheek.) Some excepts . . .
@ryangrim.bsky.social @radleybalko.bsky.social This is what we’ve known was coming from former MA state trooper Michael Proctor. There are well over 10k texts from the last ~15 years worth of this. Read just filed her lawsuit this morning against MA and town of Canton. This is how bad LE is.
@kissphoria.bsky.social In case you ever want to dunk on Greg Abbott. He was AG when he early released disgraced former Rockwall County DA Gaylan Ray Sumrow after only 16 months I think, of a ~16 year sentence imposed by a Dallas County Jury. The jurors were pissed www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
@brandonfriedman.bsky.social I still stand by my original opinion. My last pro DJ gig was at Paragon, which was the old Boiler Room in Dallas Alley. Room held 2k people legally. We had about the same amount of gear as this. Inside, but for perspective. This has to be an anomaly.

@preetbharara.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social If I had one genie wish, it would be to forever erase my knowledge of this code from my lay convicted brain. 1.) DOJ manual The other three are selected portions of Elonis. Notice the DOJ directly ignoring clear precedent, verbatim.

@radleybalko.bsky.social In case you’re still interested in criminal justice anomalies, and egregious injustices that resonate with most people; Karen Read. There’s a former Mass. State Trooper (Michael Proctor) who could instantly become the most racist LE in our history. He has ~40k texts…
@jaredlholt.bsky.social @michaelehayden.bsky.social Okay, listen (maybe pun). I’m so old (and lib), I could be in an appropriately age aligned relationship with grandma, and nobody would say a thing. 1.) I understood every word 2.) I am a bad ass 60 year EDM DJ on.soundcloud.com/jX96QtCzPnJj...

This is a good example why “Hollywood” is one of our most important institutions. These stories need to last forever.
An Uzbek man, tortured by his govt, spent two years in ICE detention waiting on asylum claim. Separated from, lost track of wife and daughter. Claim denied, he attempted suicide, then disappeared. Deported to Uzbekistan. From @mariannedhe.bsky.social newsletter.mariannedhenin.com/asylum-seeke...
@meganabbott.bsky.social Since you’re on record as having the best interview with the bros Coen ever, I oddly feel compelled to share this new possible revelation. The Brando part might have been known, but I didn’t know it until this. Please forgive me if it’s irrelevant. Cults can be this way!
@guruspod.bsky.social Fellas, pure gold. Remember when James Lindsay faked a paper to call out the arbitrariness of the peer review process? I present you that, literally, only opposite ideology. Start here, but every second of all the depos are offensively blatant. youtu.be/XY-QvaJ_QJk?...

This channel has all the same depos too. And if you’re a mere peasant like me who doesn’t pay for premium YouTube, this channel doesn’t monetize. Incidentally, this is the bureaucrat who loves hating DEI. youtu.be/GxftDBg2Mb0?...
@michaelwolffnyc.bsky.social Finally, someone recognizes this besides me. And it’s a man who would know. Two words; Michael Avenatti. First time in history the DOJ held bi-costal press conferences on one perp. Mike pissed him off. Barr sicced his errand boys. Donny was scared of Melania.
@kellycarlin.bsky.social If you want to hear the academic equivalent (almost literally) of your dad’s Joe Pesci bit, start at around 6:25 and listen to Dr. Ehrman’s opening. You can skip the rest. Ehrman is a born again atheist, and smart. Just like your dad. youtu.be/XtWjEjdYvLA?...

For your pleasure I wrote up the news that apparently the University of Austin is not a great place to work: www.chron.com/culture/arti...
Trump is removing studies from the BJS website that shows undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes. Obviously among other things. This is a study that used to be on the bjs website. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Now this is the the page that comes up. This is also a screenshot of where someone used the old bjs link on Reddit. www.ojp.gov/library/publ...
A treat finding an author I had to read in grad school in the wild. Especially when he established a cognizable line for me between populism vs. not populism on a very nuanced point.
I decided to start a #thread 🧵 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.
