Jones zur systematischen Anwendung sogenannter „Enhanced Interrogation Techniques“ durch die CIA nach 9/11. Und was dabei sichtbar wird, ist weniger das Monster im Verhörraum als die institutionelle Architektur seiner Legitimation. Mit Adam Driver, Annette Bening und Jon Hamm. (ARD, Free-TV-Premiere)

Nice. Sen #SheldonWhitehouse just mentioned that #KilmarAbregoGarcia has an excellent #BivensAction complaint against #Trump et al.
#DeepCut but exactly on the nose.
A Bivens action generally refers to a lawsuit for #damages when a federal officer who is acting in the color of federal authority allegedly violates the US #Constitution by federal officers acting.
👏👏👏
