tl;dr this guy did a horrible thing, but based on the number of brain injuries you can read about him suffering over the course of his lifetime I really doubt he was legally competent, and either way I think the death penalty is dumb and does as much to retraumatize victims as offer closure

Either way, please wear a helmet when riding motorcycles and yell at your lawmakers to make sure neonatal units have the best possible resources to maybe prevent people like Wendell Grissom from going so far off the rails

Naked Kennedy Center Staffer for president!

67,000 white South Africans have expressed interest in Trump’s plan to give them refugee status

Have they? Because I see a news story about an unofficial private business organization that was founded in Atlanta in 2020 handing a list of purported names to the South African embassy. They very easily could have made all these names up as a publicity stunt hoping it would land some of their members new business from racist Anericans.

Constituent Kristin Fellows, 62, asked the Democrats how they are pushing back against Musk and President Donald Trump.

“We know that you are against these current awful happenings going on in the world, but it is simply not enough for you to repeatedly tell us that you are,” Fellows said, according to the Associated Press, and the question was met with a round of applause from the audience.

“My job is to be more than just an activist. It is to answer the call when there’s an immigration raid and we need to figure out where our people are,” Slotkin said. “All of those things require me to be more than just an AOC.”

Slotkin ought to know where “our people” are since she voted for legislation requiring any immigrant who’s baselessly charged with petty nonsense like shoplifting to be detained (archived).

Thank you for posting those related articles because if just had to go off the OP alone I would have no earthly idea which terrifying dystopian move was being discussed

I couldn’t find a complete transcript of the interview anywhere, but I did find a slightly longer CBC article discussing it with more quotes (archived).

Also just gathering troops in a blue state’s territory for [redacted], nothing to see here.

It shows the marine band capitulating to the will of this shitty evil scumbag president, and it shows kids having to make do with an improvised group of individuals who will not have the same ability to preserve their program as a government backed effort.

It’s resistance, which we desperately need and which we desperately need to be getting into news cycles, but it’s no kind of triumph, and confusing it for one will only make it harder to fix the damage this shitty evil scumbag has done.

Yeah, sure, so long as they’re all getting along with each other, and so long as they can coordinate who has what and what might be needed, and so long as no one state tries to cut costs on emergency planning and rely on other states bailing them out, yeah, we might end up with a much more expensive system that with almost the same capacity to clean up disasters as our current one

Yeah, the fact that they’re immediately putting these workers the courts are forcing them to rehire onto administrative leave (where they still get paid but just aren’t allowed to do any work) is a pretty clear demonstration it’s just about stopping the government from doing things Republicans don’t like

Because Netanyahu doesn’t want to testify at his corruption trial and because the United States has not stopped giving them weapons to carry out this war, regardless of what they did and or who the US president was. Israel know there’s no limits on their behavior.

The moment they ignored the laws to destroy the capabilities of the US federal government, so since day 1

At what point will it be treated like the treason it is and how many lives will the fascists destroy before that happens? No idea.

The moment the US figured out the US has oil this was bound to happen

That would actually be more honest than what he’s doing - he’s violating court orders and ignoring the constitution while claiming he’s not, so now all the pundits will say “Is America in a constitutional crisis? It’s hard to say…” when it very much is not.

The fact that he was too scared to call out Trump by name in this “rebuke” suggests against that happening with Roberts

Plenty of blame to go around

Eh, I wouldn’t go quite that far, the judge may still be working towards doing the right thing here, I just think he’s being more cautious and going slower than he needs to.

If he gets this statement and says “OK, good, now that you have committed to one particular story in writing, here’s how the facts and evidence show that story to be a lie and why I must find you in contempt of court and take appropriate actions” he’s doing his job (albeit I would say overly meticulously, it should be obvious from the already established record they’re acting with contempt of court).

On the other hand, if he gets this statement and says “Well, if you promise this is the truth then I guess it is” then, yeah, this is all pointless bullshit.

e; Well, we’ve got our statement

Yeah, the strategy of invoking the court’s authority to demand the administration submit a written statement formally declaring whether or not they have defied the court’s authority seems like it has a bit of a weak point in it

Why did you come to a news focused community to tell us all that?
