Bad summary IMO. The federal murder charge was dismissed:
"U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed a federal murder charge against Mangione, finding it was technically flawed."
"U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed a federal murder charge against Mangione, finding it was technically flawed."
BREAKING: A judge rules that Luigi Mangione should not face the death penalty if convicted on federal charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO.

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.
Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

And in what may become an oft-cited passage, Justice Koehnen determines that

• “intifada”
• inverted red triangles

![viii. Conclusion on Language
[106] For purposes of this motion, I do not have to determine how these phrases and symbols are being used. I review this history and analysis merely to point out that the automatic conclusion that those phrases are antisemitic is not justified; especially not on an interlocutory injunction.
[107] The genuine pain that some feel when seeing or hearing these phrases may be the result of attributing malevolent intentions to the speakers when there is no such intention and as well as to speakers using certain phrases in potentially insensitive ways which cause pain to others when that is not intended. The University’s policy on Statement on Free Speech expression recognizes that freedom of expression can be hurtful to some. At the same time the Statement notes that University “members should not weigh lightly the shock, hurt anger or even the silencing effect that may be caused by” certain speech.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j5u3lkq6m2po3thfvxaspplf/bafkreifdcuhnpsjt6ozj5ycugs6nehxjyps26e56fmwqcudw7bd3zcuobu@jpeg)

one of the conversations that needs to be had about local groups popping up that claim to represent, deliver news to people or showcase the city is how they are in part benefiting from a vacuum of other kinds of local commentary and reporting - something extremely wrong with this imo
