If there were a court opinion tailor-made to give me an aneurism, this is it. The MS Court of Appeals acquitted a cop convicted of manslaughter, overruling a jury. The court found insufficient medical evidence linking the cop slamming a guy’s head into asphalt with the guy’s death two days later.

BREAKING: Tesla did a whoopsie at their Fremont factory and polluted a bunch of water (pretty bad) and they can't keep it contained to their property. Levels of major pollutants massively over what's legal. Huge mess, no surprise.

Billionaires are essentially citing the 14 word pledge but it’s gauche to call out their obvious racism so 1000s of people look for hypocrisy or inconsistency instead of plainly stating what’s happening.

Alex Villanueva, the former sheriff of Los Angeles, oversaw a string of deaths & a mountain of abuse scandals before losing last year. Now he wants a seat on the powerful county board he clashed with.

And not a peep from the media outlets who spent more than a week focusing on colleges and uncritically promoting Stefanik as an objective critic.

The complicity in validating right wing antisemitism is shocking but not at all surprising.

Wild that people still are not understanding the intense Zionist indoctrination many evangelical Christians grow up in. Israel is so important within that culture, and the view is that all Jews must support it. I don't get how this isn't registering for people left of center.
