The abstract of the article, setting out the general findings.
The strongest arguments against qualified immunity reform are that lawsuit costs would skyrocket and officer retention would plummet. Alex Reinert, Jim Pfander, and I studied qualified immunity reforms in Colorado and New Mexico and can report: the sky is not falling. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

'The Night Agent' Season 4 writers room is underway. Creator Shawn Ryan talks timing of potential renewal and delivering seasons on a yearly cadence.
The Night Agent: Season 3 is on Netflix now (and reviews are in) www.metacritic.com/tv/the-night...
"Buoyed by the best ensemble of new supporting players for the show to date, the third season of The Night Agent is arguably the best." - Brian Tallerico

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

The brazenness with which ICE violates the law (described in @radleybalko.bsky.social’s excellent piece) is a byproduct of zero civil & criminal accountability for officers. Part of the explanation is Trump’s lawlessness. But ICE officers have no reason to fear consequences for crossing the line.
"Just like the killing of Renée Good, Saturday morning’s shooting once again raises the question of why it is so damned difficult to hold federal officers—and the federal government itself—accountable if and when they violate our rights."
Me on the federal accountability gap—and how to close it:
Donald Trump is now using DOJ to threaten the Fed Chair. Threats to an independent Fed impact market stability, inflation, costs, your retirement, and employment—things Americans cannot afford. This is clearly an abuse of power.
What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
Among those murdered in Sydney is Rabbi Eli Schlanger.
Earlier this year, Rabbi Schlanger’s son Nossen became bar mitzvah, reading from a Torah that tied his family back generations, both to devastating loss and to Jewish resilience. www.australianjewishnews.com/an-incredibl...
In the midst of the horrific tragedy in Bondi, Gal Gadot comes forward with a message of love and unity.
No matter how many people try to portray her differently, she has always been a woman for peace.
And this particular message is one we should all be sharing.
2 paragraphs of white text against a background reads: "The Nexus Project is heartbroken by the horrific terrorist attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, where gunmen opened fire on Jewish families gathered to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah. We mourn the victims of this massacre, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, and hold the injured and their loved ones in our hearts during this devastating time. This was an unambiguous act of antisemitic violence — Jews were targeted and murdered precisely because they were Jews, gathered in public to practice their faith and celebrate a holiday of light and hope. We condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms. Hanukkah commemorates the Jewish people's resilience and their right to exist, to worship, and to live openly as Jews. The perpetrators of this attack sought to extinguish that light and terrorize Jewish communities worldwide. We stand in solidarity with Australian Jews and with Jewish communities everywhere who are grieving and afraid. Antisemitic violence is not only an attack on the Jewish community — it is an assault on the values of pluralism, safety, and human dignity that bind diverse democratic societies together. We call on leaders across the globe to treat the fight against antisemitism with the seriousness and urgency this moment demands, and we extend our deepest condolences to all those affected by this unconscionable tragedy."

Put it this way... nine of the folks announcing #BlackList2025 scripts tomorrow were nominated for Golden Globes this morning (and another one directed a 3x nominated film even though he himself didn't get nominated individually).
Don't miss it. blcklst.com/2025BlackList

Any day a person or pet beats cancer is a great day.
This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

This is Reggie. He was just told about daylight savings time. More like daylight starving time. 13/10 (TT: melandreggie)
We’re using a new method of deploying recycled oyster shells for our 8th reef build! Here’s the process of how we’re using gabion baskets to create a living shoreline!🦪🗑️

South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days.
That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.
I have (had) some trump-voting colleagues with learning challenged kids. I warned them of exactly this!! The response? “Oh no. He’s not coming after special ed.” Of course they are.
