Prosecutors should never have brought this case, the defendant was told she was eligible to vote by the state. The only silver lining is that it's now precedent and will help the other people charged by the state for the same thing.

NEW: Over the “strongest possible” objections of a federal prosecutor handling the case, Trump DOJ officials quashed plans to bring civil rights charges against an ICE agent accused of shooting a Venezuelan immigrant and then lying about it.
Trump’s DOJ Blocked Serious ICE Shooting Charge Over Federal Prosecutor’s “Strongest Possible” Objections
A prosecutor planned to file civil rights charges — similar to those brought against the officers who killed George Floyd — against an ICE agent. In an email we exclusively obtained, he reveals that T...

The earliest moments of the September 11 attacks did not unfold the way we often remember. Here’s how those surreal 17 minutes changed America forever.

also sort of puts the utility of nonviolent resistance into sharp contrast. the military will shoot armed men who are shooting at them but may have some questions about why they are shooting at retired schoolteachers with signs.
This is an out and out plan to steal the election and destroy the nation
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 4d agoThis is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.

The mass retconning of 2020 is largely targeted at media figures who are still on Twitter and it’s so frustrating to see it work, especially if you were involved in politics that year.

The U.S. is a massive funder of science. Canada does not come anywhere close. Stories about a handful of scientists get attention, but rather than "brain drain," the likely outcome if the U.S. continues its path is that there will simply be fewer scientists and less science getting done in the world
Sarah J. Jackson@sjjphd.bsky.social · last wk.More brain drain: “Twenty-one universities in Canada announced on Thursday the hiring of dozens of researchers to join their top academic ranks, poaching the majority of the recruits from the United States. Of the incoming 64 researchers, 48 will leave American campuses…”
Before Doucet, baseball terminology in Quebec was a lot of franglais - "le shortstop a struck out sur un curveball" etc. - but that didn't fly with Quebec broadcasting laws, so he basically had to invent a French word to use for every bit of the baseball lexicon. Here are some of them:
