🍊🤡 issuing orders to his circus (FCC) to approve a merger (Nexstar-Tegna) that will blow through the statutory ownership caps and is definitely not in the public interest.

Challenges? 1 million satellites?! 200,000 of which will deorbit every year have to be replaced. Challenges?! That’s one way to put it.

Thanks! Focusing mostly on abolitionist groups post 1830 but also need to tell a broader story of social welfare orgs. This will help tell the story

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 3d

Oh, it’s going to be very boring - mostly focused on organizational structures and unincorporated social welfare organizations. The good stuff will end up on discarded bytes…

In the jury room (imagined)

Juror Bigelow: “He couldn’t have done it, cause I did it!”

Other Jurors: “You make a good point.”

Brian JM Quinn @bjmquinn.bsky.social · 3d

In the subsequent trial of Elizur Wright (one of Morris’ co-defendants), a juror, Francis Bigelow, was instrumental in persuading other jurors to vote for Wright’s acquittal on charges that Wright had assisted Minkins’ escape. Turns out Bigelow had actually assisted Minkins escape to Canada! Whoops.

In 1851, Robert Morris, a well-known Af-Am lawyer in Boston was, along with at least one other lawyer from the Vigilance Committee, tried on the charge that he assisted Shadrach Minkins, a “fugitive slave” escape custody. A jury found him not guilty.
It turns out he did help Minkins escape.

In 1850 Shadrach Minkins escaped from slavery in Virginia and settled in Boston. He was arrested by federal officials under the Fugitive Slave Act a year later.
Lawyers associated with the Boston Vigilance Committee volunteered to represent him.

During a break in his hearing, a group of African Americans who had come to watch the proceedings grabbed Minkins and carried out of the court house. He was then smuggled off to Canada.

One of Minkins’ lawyers, Robert Morris, a well known African American lawyer was then tried for assisting in Minkins’ escape. The Boston jury found him not guilty of assisting in the escape.

No one on this side of the Pond has paid a public price for their involvement - other than the head of a law firm who stepped down from his position. It’s disgusting.

“.. Our BTC price target is 0.0. That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us,” the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as “a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq.”

That ship has sailed…

In 1843, Massachusetts passed the Latimer Law, which prohibited state officials, judges, and justices of the peace from taking part in the arrest or detention of alleged fugitive slaves under the federal Fugitive Slave Act of 1793.
