To be clear, it really is fine. No one was harmed, nothing was damaged.
This is Sylvia Gonzalez. At age 72, she won an upset victory for city council after campaigning to oust the city manager. The mayor didn't like that. So he had her arrested & jailed. The Supreme Court is about to hear her case, which has largely gone unnoticed. A thread.

THREAD: Today, the Supreme Court unanimously vindicated 94-year-old Geraldine Tyler. A few years ago, the government took her home, sold it over a small tax debt—and *kept the profit.* The ruling is amazing news. Here's what that means for her—and for the many victims like her.

There's a disturbing prosecution happening at the federal level. And it has implications for everyone. A man was sentenced for conduct he *wasn't convicted of.* Trump commuted that. And now the DOJ is trying to re-prosecute him—raising serious double jeopardy concerns. A thread.
The Netflix series on Madoff was great except for the fact that it drew exactly the wrong lessons from the SEC's total incompetence. My latest for @reason with superb editing by @GoMakeFilms. youtube.com/watch?v=GTxUJu…

BREAKING: Emails Show CDC Policed COVID Speech on Facebook. LIVE with @robbysoave, @nickgillespie, and @TheAbridgedZach. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
We got ahold of a ton of emails between the CDC and Facebook during COVID. It's not pretty. Read @robbysoave on the #FacebookFiles in @reason today
Thread 🧵 on the #FacebookFiles: 1) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (@CDCgov) played a direct role in policing permissible speech on social media throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. reason.com/2023/01/19/fac…
20. I'm grateful to the work done by @mtaibbi, @bariweiss, @lhfang, @ShellenbergerMD, @davidzweig and others (with @elonmusk's cooperation) to uncover censorship at Twitter. It's clear the same forces were conspiring to silence dissent at Meta as well.
19. For a closer look at the emails themselves, read this article. reason.com/2023/01/19/fac…
18. I explore the legal case that the federal government’s jawboning of social media companies violates the First Amendment in my cover story for the March 2023 issue of @reason magazine. Read it here reason.com/2023/01/19/how…
17. "Multiple arms of the administration delivered the jawboning effort together,"says @Will_Duffield, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute. "Each one component wouldn't rise to something legally actionable, but when taken as a whole administration push, it might."
16. There is a word for government officials using the threat of punishment to extort desired behaviors from private actors. That word is: jawboning.
