Screenshot from the linked article: The National Guard assigned to the reflecting pool have been instructed since last week to detain anyone even touching the water--let alone any sealant flaps--so that US Park Police could arrest them on vandalism-related charges, two people familiar with the matter said The statute being cited for what is prohibited has been 36 Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1 Section 2.1(a)(6), according to an administration official, which prohibits "possessing, destroying injuring, defacing, removing, digging, or disturbing structure or its furnishing or fixtures, or other cultura. or archeological resources." Another statute, 36 CFR 7.96, prohibits "bathing swimming or wading in any fountain or pool' other than the Rainbow Pool of the World War II memorial and the German-American Friendship Garden fountains, adiacent to the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.

Screenshots of two posts from Mark Joseph Stern (mjsdc.bsky.social) "States that retain capital punishment must devote inordinate amount of time and resources--taxpayer dollars-to defending a practice that does not deter or make anybody safer. It's so deeply pointless. Every peer nation has moved on from this archaic practice for good reason. It helps no one." And "One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants-and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it"
