For all Mary Moriarty's critics this was one of her main campaign promises, that she would prioritize the backlog of untested rape kits. She has been able to convict multiple rapists. Negligence of not only the police department but county attorneys before her like Freeman deserve more attention.
Protecting women
12 year wait for her rape kit to be processed.
“Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the DNA evidence that led to Bulle’s conviction was found among 1,758 untested sexual assault kits that the Minneapolis auditor discovered in 2019.”

The Nuremberg defendants tried this "I was only following orders" stuff. Many of them were hanged.
This is as bogus as the Torture Memos: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
U.S. troops not liable in boat strikes, classified Justice Dept. memo says
In a classified memo, the Office of Legal Counsel said U.S. troops would not be liable for participating in boat strikes on alleged narco-traffickers.

I try to post this photo twice a year. Today, November 11th, Veterans Day, and April 11th, the day that the Buchenwald death camp was liberated in 1945.
That's my Dad, George Timmer, with a young Dutch Jewish girl, a survivor of the camp. Read more details in the ALT text.

"Brand-destroying action." Word 👇.
Because this is a brand-destroying action by Senate Dems.
Interesting that NY gov Kathy Hochul felt compelled to put out a statement against Dems' deal to end the shutdown

When these clucks send you texts asking for money, be sure to let them know how you feel.
Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

This sums it up pretty well.
I am so furious right now.
AGs across the country fought to get SNAP benefits.
Federal workers suffered with weeks of no pay.
Millions of people showed up to protest Trump.
Democrats showed up in record numbers at the polls to say 'we've got your back!'
And you caved for literally nothing.

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social, please let up on the interrupting of guests. It got so bad with Wolfers this morning that I turned it off, even though you next guest is someone I know personally.
If you know it so well, just do a monologue.
