Arena Cops 🇺🇦✌

The Nixon-admin's DOJ/OLC evidently corrupt Nixon-shielding policy, that Trump relies on still today was wrong then & still is today, as much as is Leonard Leo's SCOTUS majority's corrupt ruling to grant an unqualified psychopathic criminal, who undeservedly & disgracefully occupied presidential office for four crime- & shameful years even the least bit of immunity & impunity.

Roberts & his accomplices obstructed & perverted justice, turning the adamant principle, that ***the Constitution doesn't create a monarch above the law*** upsidedown, like the Alitos turned the American flag upsidedown.

"...
Since 1973, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel has maintained a policy that a sitting president may not be prosecuted or indicted. That policy was first articulated during the Nixon administration’s Watergate scandal, and was reaffirmed in 2000 following the assorted scandals of the Clinton presidency.
...

“I just think [the policy] is wrong for the reason that nobody is above the law,” says Paul Rosenzweig, a senior fellow at the R Street Institute, who served as a senior counsel during Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr’s investigation of President Bill Clinton.

For obvious self-serving reasons, Trump likes to present his reelection in November as inevitable, save Democratic malfeasance.
To that end, he's now framing it in explicitly religious terms: the attempt on his life shows that even God wants him to win. washingtonpost.com/politics/20

Research into climate equality in Madrid has confirmed what you might expect; the poor & vulnerable are more exposed to the problems of heat than the richer residents of the city, leader to a higher proportion of heat-related fatalities.

This is unlikely to be just a Spanish issue, isn't it?

One of the reasons our political elites are reticent in dealing with climate change is the effects are unevenly distributed reflecting economic inequalities!

#Law enforcement seized Martinez's phone, computer, personal calendar, blank voter registration forms & her certificate to conduct voter registration….

"This is a free country, this is not Russia," Martinez said Mon during a press conference denouncing the raid.

Manuel Medina, the chair of Tejano #Democrats, is another #LULAC member who was targeted…. Medina's home was raided last Thurs by #police in riot gear, who were armed & broke down his door….

"Trump calls his former chief of staff a terrible, stupid person'"

Ever notice how many of his top people #Trump ends up condemning a stupid or or terrible or crooked or nasty, etc.?

In the Real World we call that, at best, being a crappy hiring manager.

While a device’s mobile ad ID is technically an anonymous piece of information, it is easy to cross reference other data points to determine the owner, EFF’s Beryl Lipton warned the @TexasObserver. texasobserver.org/texas-dps-su

@kurtsh Yes, I fear that this will happen to me. Just a matter of when. 71 here and some people think I'm in my 40s. But I sense changes. I look in the mirror and say, "You look older." Not happy with that. I still have the mind I had when I was 19. I do carry two copies of the gene that codes for late aging. I guess that's good. Hmm.

You do realise that everything you’re putting on Instagram and Threads is not only being harvested for Zuck’s plagiarism-slurry “AI” but also for law-enforcement facial recognition bullshit, right?

Right?

Purging votes doesn’t work in Minnesota because we can just register on Election Day. With a utility bill.

Voting rights fucking matters.

@glynmoody Yes, true. The bad thing is that a fearful society is much easier to control / manipulate.

@glynmoody Hmm. People have some weird ideas today. I traveled Europe alone for 3 months when I was 16. Had no significant problems.

New study: Thanks to advances such as solar, wind or electric vehicles, the technological feasibility of climate-neutrality is no longer the most crucial issue. It is much more about how fast climate policy ambition can be ramped up by governments.
