The constant misuse of the word "citizen" really annoys me. It's a small thing, I know.
As promised, here's the news about Glossip being granted bond this morning @lilianasegura.bsky.social theintercept.com/2026/05/14/r...

Please check out the fundraiser for my amazing neighbors Rick & Micala, who lost everything in a house fire last night. My partner was the one who saw the blaze start & ran ax the alley bellowing for them to get out. It was a terrifying evening. And there's a long road to recovery ❤️

For over a decade I was lucky enough to work side by side with my journalistic role model-turned partner in crime, the truly badass @jordansmith.bsky.social. There's no reporter in the country like her & I miss her terribly. But I'm also so proud & excited for what's to come. #WrongfulConvictionDay

"We don't think he killed anyone. But we can convict him if we pick the right jury."
Jordan Smith@jordansmith.bsky.social · last yr.@lilianasegura.bsky.social and I were in court today where the OK AG's office made clear it is going to retry Richard Glossip for murder -- even though the AG has already said Glossip didn't murder anyone. Our latest here: theintercept.com/2025/06/09/r...
Surreal day in Oklahoma City. Mere months after AG Gentner Drummond won big at SCOTUS—persuading the justices to vacate Richard Glossip’s conviction due to the lies of the state’s star witness—the AG now seeks a 3rd murder trial (despite having no new evidence). w/ @jordansmith.bsky.social
In Shocking Move, Oklahoma AG Decides to Retry Richard Glossip for Murder
During a hearing in Oklahoma City, the state made clear it will go ahead despite the fact that the case against Glossip has fallen apart.

Because of course HHS would have to rely on AI to make its case
Plenty of alarms to raise amid this relentless, terrifying conflagration, but the looming expiration of the ACA tax credits is one that, imo, is not being sounded loud enough
It has become incredibly clear to me that I have vastly underestimated the number of truly terrible people there are in the world
So interesting that I can never get through to an actual person when calling my elected U.S. Senators. Hmmmm.
A fascinating and horrifying article by @jordansmith.bsky.social at @theintercept.com. If there's one thing cops DON'T need, it's another tool to perpetuate racial biases and justify targeting the wrong people.

It's about a company selling cops on the notion that they can use DNA to tell you what a perpetrator looks like.

A Forensics Company Tells Cops It Can Use DNA to Predict a Suspect’s Face. Scientists Worry the Tool Will Deepen Racial Bias.
Parabon NanoLabs sells police composite images of suspects built on DNA. Critics warn the tool can reinforce racial stereotypes and taint witness memories.

Driving across the Florida Panhandle on I-10 is like being JoBeth Williams trying to make it down the hallway in Poltergeist.
I had the most amazing dream the other night wherein the secrets of the universe were revealed to me by a guide named Roberta, a middle-aged woman in a cat sweatshirt
Remind me to tell you about the time I was at SCOTUS to cover an oral argument and the minute I sat down in the courtroom my pants ripped alllll the way up the seam. That was really fun.
I walked into the bathroom this morning to find the room smelled like ... celery. Why does the bathroom smell like celery? Also, I now kinda want some celery, which is odd because I don't think most people, including me, are like, oh, hells yes: CELERY!
