NYC judges have an extremely accurate statistical instrument to help them decide whether to release someone before their trial. But a new study finds that judges often disregard those release recommendations, especially for Black defendants.

Make those calls, friends! Tell them to vote NO on any bill that cuts trans health care - tell them that trans healthcare saves lives and defending this is worth a shutdown.
They should not have been in custody.
Today, senator Ron Wyden will raise a point of order to remove the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender affirming care. The Republicans need 60 votes to keep it in but they only have 53. Call your Dem senator today and urge them to vote to strip the ban from the bill. Senate switchboard 202-224-3121.
The New York Times is back at it again (derogatory).
An upcoming New York Times podcast on trans youth healthcare used audio from the mother of a trans girl against her will, after producers caught a vulnerable moment on tape.
a graphic that reads: Picket at The New York Times 620 Eighth Avenue (Manhattan) Thurs, June 5th | Starting 9 AM Tomorrow, the Times is launching a 6-part podcast aimed at covering transgender healthcare for minors. Join us in rejecting their harmful, bigoted, one-sided coverage. With the TRANSEXUAL MENACE logo beneath it. the word menace is written in a dripping horror-esque font.
Enough is ENOUGH! Come out and help demand the NYT show some backbone and lose their bias, or back off.
NYC's Human Rights Law is one of the most robust local human rights laws in the country, but we need expanded resources for @nycchr.bsky.social to ensure its full implementation. We must increase their budget by $6M to enhance their capacity and effectiveness.

NEW: After an NY state senator told our reporter that NYU Langone had resumed treatment for trans youth, families shared their ongoing difficult obtaining necessary treatments.
Are reports that care has resumed just empty promises?

NEW: While Governor Kathy Hochul pushes an expansion of involuntary commitment in this year's budget, thousands of New Yorkers sit on waitlists for voluntary state-funded mental health programs.
In some cases, they wait for as long as two years.
We can’t let this happen.

A lot going on right now but I still think it's crazy that the NY state budget is a week overdue because the governor is holding it hostage to a retrogressive policy demand based on a claim for which neither she nor anyone else have offered *any* supporting evidence. hellgatenyc.com/tisch-cant-s...

Hi, my name is ____. I'm a constituent, zip code _____, phone number _____. I'm calling to ask you to speak out for and fight for the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent resident who was abducted from his Columbia dorm room over the weekend in what looks like a violation of his First Amendment and due process rights. This is not only a terrible injustice to him, but it affects us all. Please speak out and fight for his release now.
UPDATE: Called all my NY reps - national and state, as well as my city councilperson, to ask them to speak out for and fight for the release of Mahmoud Khalil. Here's a quick script if you need one and want to make calls yourself. You can find your reps here: reps.fyi
Seeing every major political power broker in New York agree that serial sexual abuse is not only okay, but getting into a position to abuse new victims is a "comeback," is absolutely disgusting.
Do not rank Cuomo.
![The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. JUSTICE
ALITO would grant the petition for a writ of certiorari.
JUSTICE THOMAS, dissenting from the denial of certiorari.
In Hill v. Colorado, 530 U. S. 703 (2000), this Court upheld a state law restricting peaceful speech within 100 feet
of abortion clinics. It was clear at the time that Hill’s reasoning “contradict[ed] more than a half century of well-established First Amendment principles.” Id., at 765 (Kennedy, J., dissenting); see also id., at 742 (Scalia, J., joined
by THOMAS, J., dissenting). A number of us have since described the decision as an “absurd,” “defunct,” “erroneous,”
and “long-discredited” “aberration” from the rest of our
First Amendment jurisprudence. See City of Austin v.
Reagan Nat. Advertising of Austin, LLC, 596 U. S. 61, 86–
87, 92, 103–104 (2022) (THOMAS, J., joined by GORSUCH and
BARRETT, JJ., dissenting) (internal quotation marks omitted). We have long stopped applying Hill. See, e.g., City of
Austin, 596 U. S., at 76. And, a majority of this Court recently acknowledged that Hill “distorted [our] First Amendment doctrines.” Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 597 U. S. 215, 287, and n. 65 (2022). Following our
repudiation in Dobbs, I do not see what is left of Hill. Yet,
lower courts continue to feel bound by it. The Court today
declines an invitation to set the record straight on Hill’s defunct status. I respectfully dissent.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreicle74qq6asiii2dfd6g7gqo35wbkzt2vncdmooobhdrfhafgqai4)

This is a big one: SCOTUS will *not* revisit its precedent allowing states to create "bubble zones" that limit protests outside abortion clinics. Thomas and Alito dissent.
Very surprising—I really thought they'd overturn those precedents after Dobbs. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
Prosecutors have urged the governor to roll back some of New York’s discovery reforms.
Public defenders worry about reverting to a time when they had to fight their cases “blindfolded.”
