A CBS procedural that is ostensibly about someone being a monitor required by a consent decree but instead she just works with the cops to quirkily solve crimes, like the cops always do.

1/ This is Day 4 of me naming and shaming DHS for all the fucking prisons and WAREHOUSES they're seeking to open to generate profit from immigrant bodies. In late 2025, DHS quietly purchased a massive warehouse in Social Circle, Georgia, paying $128 millionβ€”nearly five times its assessed value.

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down.

Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book.

(And would much appreciate a RT please)

I challenge you to find a law school dean even half as amazing as GSU Law’s Courtney Anderson.
