I’m reading the facts in a new decision temporarily prohibiting the Trump regime from making warrantless civil immigration arrests unless the regime has probable cause to believe that the person subjected to arrest is in the U.S. unlawfully AND is likely to escape before a warrant may be obtained. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26330866/molina-ddc.pdf 1/ #Lawfedi

Tech coverage of Google's Gemini controversy centered on denying AI training claims, while largely ignoring the Thele v. Google LLC lawsuit filed on November 11, 2025.

The complaint alleges: “[O]n or about October 10, 2025, Google secretly turned on Gemini for all its users’ Gmail, Chat, and Meet accounts, enabling AI to track its users’ private communications contained in those platforms without the users’ knowledge or consent. As of the date of this filing, Google continues to track these private communications with Gemini by default, requiring users to affirmatively find this data privacy setting and shut it off, despite never ‘agreeing’ to such AI tracking in the first place.”

Google has denied the training allegations but has remained silent on the October 10 claims.

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"

I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.

The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.

If you have questions, please do ask!

Wholly unsurprising, the Supreme Court as whole has extended by a week Justice Jackson’s administrative stay of a judicial order requiring the Trump regime to pay SNAP benefits. 1/ #LawFedi

Follow up to late night/early am 🧵re Rhode Island State Council v. Rollins (https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/115524291694565783), here’s where we are this morning. Justice Jackson has ordered the Trump regime to inform the Supreme Court of whether it intends to seek review of the 1st Cir’s denial of stay of order to fund SNAP fully in Nov. 1/ #LawFedi

While the Senate Democrats were busy caving, the First Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision in Rhode Island Council of Churches v. Rollins. It refused to stay Judge McConnell’s order enforcing his original TRO. The First Circuit Court opinion is very interesting, and a bit complex. Stick with the thread, I’ll also explain how the case now intersects with Congressional action on the CR. #LawFedi 1/ https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ca1.53495/gov.uscourts.ca1.53495.00108364355.0.pdf

The Supreme Court has issued an administrative stay, putting off the need for the Trump regime to comply with lower court orders to fully fund SNAP food benefits. Justice Jackson issued the order giving a strange reason for it IMO. 1/ #LawFedi https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/110725zr_pnk0.pdf
