"A federal judge on Wednesday found the extreme heat in Texas prisons is 'plainly unconstitutional,' but declined to order the state to immediately start installing air conditioning, which could cost billions.

The judge affirmed claims brought by advocates of people incarcerated in the state, where summer heat routinely soars above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius)."

An Inside Look at Taser Use in Texas Prison

The sound of electricity sizzling and crackling broke the silence. To me, it looked like the electric chair was officially back in the prisons.

"The fact that we're here at all today is ridiculous. We shouldn't even be here."

Good news to see that charges were dropped against Rich Heyman. He has already been punished too much with the loss of his teaching position,simply for rejecting the violent actions of police on campus during pro #Palestine protests.

Sufficient reason to recuse?

Unless they can't find any judge without investments in healthcare or insurance.

Two months ago I was writing a paper on the pre-teen autistic boy who was targeted by the Australian Federal Police and groomed (by them) further down the track into radicalisation until they could charge him with terrorist offences.

My housemate and I had a conversation about how almost all these people in Australia who have apparently committed acts of terrorism are actually teenagers, and how that's something that needs to be looked at..

Well, today the Guardian is running a story, "AFP and Asio warn of 'shocking' numbers of teens in terrorism cases".
