Wandering around downtown and the Springfield neighborhood I stumbled upon the school bus lot and found the seemingly endless row of yellow busses interesting. 🤭🤷‍♂️

Trump's legal team just accidentally 'undercut' his previous claims in documents case

Donald Trump's legal team has been working overtime to force Special Counsel Jack Smith to make public his prosecution team's evidence against the former president in the criminal documents case, and they just had a victory... sort of.

#Pay to stay: #Florida inmates charged for #prison cells long after incarceration


Source: https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/local-news/i-team-investigates/pay-to-stay-florida-inmates-charged-for-prison-cells-long-after-incarceration

Not only can the state bill an inmate the $50 a day even after they are released, Florida can also impose a new bill on the next occupant of that bed, potentially allowing the state to double, triple, or quadruple charge for the same bed.

Pay to stay: Florida inmates charged for prison cells long after incarceration

It's a common saying: You do the crime, you do the time. But when people are released from prison, freedom is fragmented. It marks the start of new hardships, impacting families and communities.

Nothing says "freedom" quite like armed agents of the state abusing citizens with impunity.

“#Florida cannot prohibit a 10th grade math teacher from asking her students to call her by her preferred pronouns, a federal judge has ruled.

The decision from the US district judge is a blow to an anti-#LGBTQ law championed by #DeSantis, which prohibits discussion of sexuality in public schools. 2023 expansion of the measure, widely known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law, prohibits teachers and students from using pronouns that align with their gender identity.”

Florida's Supreme Court decision, influenced by Trump, enacts a near-total abortion ban affecting the entire southeastern U.S., forcing women to travel hundreds or thousands of miles for care. Team Biden-Harris is fighting to protect women's healthcare rights.

Exploring Jacksonville • Scenes from the John T Alsop Jr (Main Street) Bridge (2 photos)

Interesting shadows and lines approaching the caged portion of the giant blue metal bridge beneath a brilliant clear blue sky.
View from overlook balcony on the pedestrian crossing adjacent to the main traffic blue metal bridge. On the side in white paint is written : Bad World 10/1/24 (presumably meaning January 1, 2024 given that this image was captured in April 2024, and October hasn't occurred yet. 🤭 The railing and supports provide a cage or jail bars like shadow on the walkway. A city skyline is seen over the edge, lining the riverside with tall buildings, beneath a brilliant clear blue sky.

I am about the read the Florida Supreme Court's decision eliminating abortion rights under the Florida Constitution, which has an explicit right to privacy and has until today been read to reach the right to abortion.

I suspect I will become very, very angry at this blatantly outcome driven decision

...

Yes, yes I am.

Read the Florida Supreme Court’s Ruling on the Abortion Ban

The Florida Supreme Court overturned decades of legal precedent in ruling that the State Constitution’s privacy protections do not extend to abortion, effectively allowing Florida to ban the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy.
The New York Times
#law #abortion #florida #lawfedi #fedilaw #fediprof

The Florida Supreme Court's decision eliminating the right to abortion under the Florida Const is as unprincipled as the Supreme Court's decision eliminating it under the US Const.

Perhaps more, because the Florida Const has an EXPLICIT RIGHT TO PRIVACY

Once again, conservatives jettison precedent and manipulate "original public meaning" to get exactly the answer they want.

“#Florida Supreme Court ruled Monday that a state constitutional amendment that would limit government intervention in #abortion procedures across Florida meets the necessary requirements to appear on ballots this November, and at the same time upheld Florida's 15-week abortion ban.”

Florida Court Allows 6-Week Abortion Ban, but Voters Will Get to Weigh In https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/01/us/florida-abortion-law-supreme-court.html

Six week ban in Florida is constitutional?
What a disaster not just for Florida but the whole South.

Let's hope voters will amend the Florida Constitution AGAIN
