This week Haitian-American college student Pierre Damas Bel died by suicide after suffering the humiliation of an ankle monitor. Earlier, 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a Latino American US Citizen died by suicide due to relentless bullying that ICE would deport her. Are we great yet?🤔

After 18 years of litigation, the Fourth Circuit just wiped away a $42 million jury verdict against CACI for its role in torture at Abu Ghraib—a verdict the same court had *affirmed* earlier this year. Why? Because of #SCOTUS's 6-3 June 23 ruling in Cisco, which eviscerated the Alien Tort Statute:

Don’t know who wrote this — it was posted on Instagram by “Warpaint Journal” in April 2025 — but it’s making the rounds today and is pretty great. I dream of this too ❤️

Most people don't dream of being fancy-rich.
I dream of being rich enough to say, "Treat's on me," without thinking twice. Rich enough to have a home that feels like a hug, a fridge stocked like a five-year-old with adult money, and a tray of chocolates waiting for someone to grab. Rich enough to quietly help a friend before they even have to ask. To send a care package when someone's too tired to reach out. To buy all the pencils from a kid on the street so they can go home early. For me, the real money dream isn't about luxury - it's about having enough to give, enough to comfort, enough to turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary.
