Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

NEW: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, facing ethics inquiries for misconduct, has threatened to strip state scholarships from Catholic schools unless the Church rewrites its vaccine doctrine. It is an unprecedented attack by an American state on the religious liberty of the Catholic Church.

and I'm being generous with "human error"; I don't think either of these companies is beyond letting their software loose intentionally for marketing purposes ahead of IPOs and to deflate growing worries that NOBODY IN THE SPACE IS MAKING ANY FUCKING MONEY

It’s a sexual orientation that is less about wanting to fuck women and more about blowing out a volcanic ash cloud of negativity about women’s bodies in the hope that some of it will land on a woman, and that woman will, if only for a moment, feel as shitty about herself as they do about themselves.

New in PN: Harmeet demonstrates danger of posting through it "The case highlights disintegration of DOJ under leadership of internet-poisoned ideologues who think Musk’s house of horrors is real life. And yet being terminally online is their Achilles heel, undermining their quest to weaponize govt"

DOJ asked the 5th Circuit to save it from being "crushed" by a "flood" of habeas cases now, im just a simple legal writer, but I suspect DOJ wouldnt have to deal with so many unconstitutional detention lawsuits if it didnt unconstitutionally detain so many people ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
