If you like to listen to jazz music, you should already know something about #CharlieParker aka #TheBird but even if you think you know everything that you need to know about him, here's a link to a very nice primer about him (with audio hyperlinks) printed in the #NYTimes that may tell you more . . .
Another Kara update from @deviantollam
She is still scheduled for release, but all the trans women at her prison have been moved.

Looking at the docket in Fleming v. Warden T. Rule, a group of individuals intervened in the case, seeking a preliminary injunction moving all trans women to a segregated unit, which is exactly what happened to Kara: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.400241/gov.uscourts.txnd.400241.197.0.pdf
On 1 June, the Court granted the PI: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.400241/gov.uscourts.txnd.400241.199.0.pdf
This PI prohibits the prison from housing trans women with cis women, or allowing trans women to use any area where cis women are not just shower rooms and such but also "elevators, dining areas, recreation areas, the mailroom".
I do take issue with the way the order is written. The order uses the term "male inmate", defined as "a person who is biologically male, regardless of gender identity". I don't think I need to explain the problem with such language, or the concerns it raises for the impartiality of the Court.
The judge is Sidney A. Fitzwater, a Reagan appointee.
Texas is within the Fifth Circuit, which is notoriously right-wing, so I doubt there will be any relief on appeal.
Sounds That Have Been Made, EP: 153, Sonny Rollins live in Copenhagen 1974
RIP to the Saxophone Colossus. Many years ago date night was dinner in the city and Sonny Rollins live at the Masonic Theater circa 2006. It was a regal brass workout, as he played an uninterrupted single set for 90 minutes. This set however, is shorter (but no less powerful), and in Denmark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSivam0Pymg His sound was massive, and his expression seemingly limitless as an improviser.

Mother Jones | Trump Admin. Has Up to 120,000 Pages of Documents on Ghislaine Maxwell’s Prison Transfer by David Corn
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
The article examines the puzzling 2022 transfer of convicted sex‑trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell from a medium‑security co‑ed prison to the low‑security, women‑only Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas—a facility known for amenities such as yoga classes and a puppy program and previously housing high‑profile inmates like Elizabeth Holmes. After a lengthy interview with former deputy attorney general Todd Blanche in which Maxwell praised Donald Trump, journalist Michele McGowan filed a Freedom of Information Act request for every record concerning the move, only to encounter months of delay and a claim from the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) that retrieving the data involved “15.8 GB of potentially responsive records”—roughly 120,000 pages that crashed the agency’s system. The BOP’s slow, understaffed FOIA office, now burdened by thousands of backlogged requests, mirrors a broader federal trend of dwindling FOIA resources and mounting delays across the Defense, State, and Health departments, prompting lawsuits by Mother Jones and the Center for Investigative Reporting to force disclosure. Meanwhile, reports of special treatment for Maxwell at the Bryan camp and political talk of a possible Trump pardon have heightened calls for transparency, underscoring the need for the Justice Department to simply explain the rationale behind her relocation rather than leaving the public to wade through an enormous, delayed FOIA request.

lot of people seem to think the #Epstein suicide note made public yesterday is fake because [[reasons]. i haven't yet heard a [reason] that has convinced me, but if you have leave a comment.
ended up collecting a formal-ish list of reasons to believe (or disbelieve) Epstein wrote the note: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2052567118764290081.html
less importantly, speaking subjectively as someone who has read enough of Jeffrey #Epstein's mail to have a good sense of the man's authorial style, the note reads to me like it was written by the same guy that wrote all of Epstein's emails.
there's some caveats to that claim (see link) but tl;dr i basically believe epstein wrote the note. i am less certain but also believe that he actually planned to kill himself when he wrote it.
what i find troubling about the note isn't the possibility that epstein didn't write it but instead it's the fact that it was "found" between the pages of a book belonging to contract killer and dirty cop extraordinaire Nick #Tartaglione AKA "Epstein's cellmate the first time he tried to kill himself".
if you were looking to cast a character in a conspiracy involving organized crime groups worked with corrupt #NYPD and #BOP officials to somehow make things happen inside Epstein's jail cell Tartaglione would be *exactly* that kind of guy. like you could not find a guy in that facility with deeper ties both to various mafias as well as a network of corrupt law enforcement and other #NYC govt officials.
