Can someone explain this for me? I’m tired and the article is both missing context and full of double negative legal filings and rulings. I’m not sure what actually happened and who is on the side of ending qualified immunity.

While I agree, who is going to do the prosecution? The DOJ is compromised.

What an astoundingly stupid idea. I can’t think of many programs that deliver more value per dollar for everyone who develops or uses technology than the CVE program. This administration keeps raising the bar for stupidity.

So, there are a few of scenarios here:

1. They knowingly sent this to her and intend to follow through (least likely IMO)
2. They knowingly sent this in an attempt to scare an immigration attorney (somewhat likely)
3. They accidentally sent this because they are negligently sending these notices without any checks or due process (most likely)

The most likely option, while less scary than #1 and #2 is still supremely frightening. They are simply removing due process from the process. It is just a process now without any due diligence involved.

I’m not sure that Elon is feeling that much pain. His investors are, but he’s so rich he barely notices. That, or it might be the ketamine.

Trump doesn’t give a shit about anyone but him. They just cut $55M intended to fund training for rural teachers (because who wants educated educators?) and now he wants to spend more than that on a mile long military parade celebrating his birthday. And it’s not even a milestone birthday, just a birthday.

From the article, Trump wanted to do something similar but, presumably smaller, in his first term but backed off after the price tag came to $92M. He instead opted for an event that ONLY cost $13M. How much do you think this one will cost? What will get cut to fund it?

Fucking narcissistic traitor… He’ll probably figure out how to grift a few tens of millions from this by selling tickets, too.

Gun lovers who don’t even know the difference between “shot” and “shoot”.

As a Coloradan, I agree. Also, New Mexico and Virginia. Probably should also leave PA to Jesus Land.

I wonder, how many countries rely on the recommendations of the FDA to determine which vaccine strains to put in their vaccines for the year. Does Canada?

Yeah, I’ll be 58 when my boy is 19… Gotta get in shape!

Huh, as a cis man, I didn’t know this was a thing.

I think this probably is illegal in the US too. Whether anything will be done about it is probably a question of money, though. So, since the infringed party here is not wealthy, nothing is likely to come of it.

You’d have to be staring at the woman’s belly pretty closely to see the 6mm embryo and, if you did, you’d realize that it certainly has no consciousness yet.

Where did you find the note? I can only find articles that dissect it without its context.

People are giving you somewhat bad information. This may differ in other states, but they do need to have practiced law in Georgia for seven years prior to being allowed to run for election.

Its a dumb system but not completely unregulated.

Other states have various methods of selecting judges. In Colorado, the governor appoints them for their first term, then they are subjected to a retention vote every few years. They rarely lose their retention votes.

So, $130M donated to Trump’s legal defense fund. $55K to Luigi’s.

What you said and your statement that “it’s a bit like grief” are dead on. I wasn’t kicked out by my parents, but I lost my dad when I was 27. I’m 40 now and still miss him but the feeling dwindles with time. I’ll always miss him but the impact of that feeling will always lessen as I gain more experiences. I suppose the same is true for any trauma of a similar magnitude. I imagine there are traumas that surpass the loss of parents in magnitude, though, and some of those may not pass in the same way.

This is just a slow coup by foreign actors at this point, isn’t it?

I carry around PowerPoint presentations that contain huge loops of satellite data. I love my 1TB USB stick.

I’m sure this is true. I wish there was a way to communicate it better, though. People have been sounding the alarm for so long that stories like this fall flat with most people. I don’t have a solution, I’m just lamenting that most people will just scroll past because we’ve been hearing dire warnings like this for decades.
