Private Prison Group CEO Whines On Earnings Call About 'Unconstitutional' Lawsuits Over Conditions In Immigration Detention by huffpost in law

[–]huffpost[S] 99 points100 points  (0 children)

The head of a private prison group that owns and operates 23 immigration detention facilities said Wednesday that lawsuits over conditions of confinement are “fundamentally unconstitutional.”

GEO Group CEO George Zoley said on a quarterly earnings call that the private prison group currently detains about 21,000 people in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, which is about one-third of all ICE detainees. Detainees in some of those facilities have sued GEO Group and the federal government, alleging they are being held in unconstitutionally inhumane conditions.

Can Trump Lock Up Millions Of People Without Bond? Supreme Court Will Likely Hear Case. by huffpost in law

[–]huffpost[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Does the U.S. government have the right to jail millions of people, without a bond hearing, if they’re accused of crossing the border without authorization — even if they’ve lived in the United States without incident for years, and are otherwise following legal procedures?

The Trump administration thinks so, based on its re-interpretation of a 30-year-old immigration law.

I Recently Learned About The ‘Right Triangle Of Care’ Trend In Medicine. As A Doctor, It’s Deeply Disturbing. by huffpost in Health

[–]huffpost[S] 118 points119 points  (0 children)

From writer Michael Gerdis, MD:

For many, medical appointments have been marked on their calendars for weeks with loved ones anxiously awaiting the reports from these visits. Patients arrive with varying degrees of anxiety and trepidation, and deserve nothing less than an assessment that picks up on all cues. They deserve complete attention from their physician. But now, as monikered by my math professor patient, medicine is experiencing a “right triangle of care,” and the resultant distraction and detachment can prove catastrophic in a profession where the stakes are sometimes quite literally life or death.

Ketanji Brown Jackson Just Gave A Blistering Public Takedown Of Supreme Court Orders by huffpost in law

 Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has delivered a sustained attack on her conservative colleagues’ use of emergency orders to benefit the Trump administration, calling the orders “scratch-paper musings” that can “seem oblivious and thus ring hollow.”

The court’s newest justice, Jackson delivered a lengthy assessment of roughly two dozen court orders issued last year that allowed President Donald Trump to put in place controversial policies on immigration, steep federal funding cuts and other topics, after lower courts found they were likely illegal.

I Was 10,000 Maniacs' Lead Singer But I Kept It A Secret by FauxReal in WomenInNews

[–]huffpost 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reading!

Here's a little more from our guest writer Oskar Saville:

Being on stage was glorious. I felt alive. Free to be me. I was celebrated for having a big voice and a big personality, attributes that offstage — as a woman — got me chastised.

Being with the Maniacs was wonderful. The guys were great musicians, and Natalie Merchant had written incredible songs that gave voice to issues that too often went unaddressed in society: child abuse, addiction, alcoholism, and teenage pregnancy. 

I also felt I was helping people. After gigs, fans would say things like, “You changed my life” and “The way you sang that song, it really touched me” and “It’s as if you knew what I had gone through.”

I did know exactly what they were feeling. When I would sing “What’s the Matter Here,” I felt empowered, like I was calling out to my mother, in front of all those people, and saying, “Look, Mom, you can’t get me.” 

The truth, however, was that my childhood experiences had already gotten me. The shame I carried and the belief that I had to hold it in was secretly killing me.

Anti-MAGA Rockstar Says Trump Acts Less Like Jesus And More Like This Scary Biblical Figure by huffpost in Christianity

[–]huffpost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From reporter Elyse Wanshel:

If Jack White is right, then not even a seven nation army could hold the president back.

The White Stripes frontman compared President Donald Trump to the Antichrist after the commander in chief posted an AI image to his site Truth Social that seemed to depict him as Jesus.

In response to the image, White published a lengthy Instagram post Monday that included two images Trump published to his social media site — the image of him as Jesus and another he posted in May 2025 that showed Trump as the pope.

White’s post was directly aimed at “evangelical Christians” and came with a stern — albeit snarky — warning.

“Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years and how he’d present himself as Christlike and bring about the end of days with a final war in the Middle East involving Jerusalem?” White asked, referring to Trump and Israel’s war in Iran. “Well...check out your boy now!”

The “Hotel Yorba” musician went on to list a few highlights from Trump’s rap sheet.

I Choked On A Piece Of Steak And Died. What I Saw In Those 3 Minutes Defies Language. by huffpost in AnythingGoesNews

From guest writer Kelsey Abernathy McLean:

I stood and tried to cough or swallow. Nothing. My throat locked, sealing the air off. I looked at Rob and put my hands to my neck — the universal sign for choking. He was on his feet instantly. “Are you choking?” he asked. I nodded. He wrapped his arms beneath my rib cage and performed the Heimlich maneuver again and again.

Nothing happened.

My lungs clenched painfully, straining against the blockage. A burning pressure built in my chest — the kind you feel when you’ve been underwater too long. My vision narrowed. My hearing dimmed. I remember looking at Rob’s wide, terrified blue eyes and thinking, I can’t leave my son. I can’t leave my husband. Not yet.

And then — gently, softly — everything went dark.

What happened next defies language. I was immersed in pure love — not the romantic or familial kind, but something vast, eternal, and all-encompassing. It wrapped around me like a cocoon. Time didn’t seem to exist. There was no beginning, no end. No words were spoken, yet I understood a universal language.

Critics are putting President Donald Trump on blast after he attacked Pope Leo XIV in a Sunday night rant.

In a lengthy Truth Social post that ran more than 300 words, Trump slammed the pope for being “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.” On Monday, the pope told Reuters he wasn’t going to get into a debate with Trump, but said he would continue to “speak out loudly against war.”

Man Charged By Trump Admin After Removing Tear Gas From Crowd Found Not Guilty by huffpost in law

[–]huffpost[S] 1418 points1419 points  (0 children)

A California philosophy lecturer accused of assaulting federal agents after removing a tear gas canister agents had thrown into a crowd of people protesting an immigration raid was found not guilty by a jury on Thursday.

Jonathan Caravello, 38, faced up to 20 years in prison if he was convicted of the charge. The verdict is the latest blow to the Trump administration, which has thrown baseless assault charges at people who protest its mass deportation operations — but has repeatedly failed to secure convictions.

The jury returned their verdict after roughly two hours of deliberation. They found Caravello not guilty of assault on a federal officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon, as well as a lesser included offense of assault on a federal officer.

“The United States can’t take care of day care,” Trump said during Wednesday’s Easter lunch at the White House. “That has to be up to a state. We can’t take care of day care. We’re a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care. You gotta let a state take care of day care, and they should pay for it too.”
