Sanctions Kill 🇵🇸

This case is a terrifying reminder of the fact that being charged with a crime upends your life. Maria Rojas has had her midwifery license suspended, and the conditions of her bond prohibit her from working in healthcare in any capacity. Texas didn't just arrest her, they took away her livelihood.

“The problem is that there's a human being on the other end of whatever political point it is they're trying to make," said an attorney for Maria Rojas, the Texas midwife who is the first person to be prosecuted under the state's criminal abortion ban.

Thanks to an AI program, Black prisoners in Ontario jails are being put in maximum security. @desmondcole.bsky.social reveals how the province is using an automated program that critics say is racially biased. youtu.be/s1HaG1p9p9g

sorry but “this candidate prioritizes [special interest group] over voters” is a pretty normal part of political messaging, and just declaring that it’s suddenly bigoted if the interest group in question is Israel isn’t tenable.

I’ve known @jeremymoss.bsky.social for 20 years. He’s one of the finest, most dedicated public servants Michigan has ever had. This is a disgustingly, blatantly antisemitic attack by one of his primary opponents.

Okay okay this is me launching off on my own thing but this is why I HATE "Johnny Depp & Prince Andrew faced consequences cause the former make fewer movies and the latter is no longer a prince" NO THEY'RE JUST SLIGHTLY LESS PRIVILEGED THEY'RE STILL FUCKING RICH BEING "like us" IS NOT PUNISHMENT

Israeli settler terrorist admits a crime on X: "A land thief (Palestinian) entered my property (The West Bank..), I shot him and he died. I'm not a murderer, this is self-defense. They call it Southern law."

"A land thief (Palestinian) entered my property (The West Bank..), I shot him and he died.

I'm not a murderer, this is self-defense.

They call it Southern law."

This is why the number one thing liberal con law people should be working on is arguments that Trump’s pardons are not valid. Obviously none of this can happen without court packing but once the new liberal court is in place, there need to be arguments ready to hand them.

I think that not only is this good politics, but the stability of American society depends on it. Liberal American normies are out for blood, but *everyone* is in an anti-system mood. If we don't feed that beast some sacrifices, it'll find someone who can, and those sacrifices will be innocent.

The average person in the United States commits three felonies per day. I'm not joking. The only difference between you and an incarcerated person is that they got caught, probably because they live in an overpoliced community as a result of being poorer than you.

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
