taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

fondly recalling how after Jan 6 Congress went home for a long weekend, didn't start impeachment proceedings for a week, which then took another month
It took only ~2.5 hrs for the National Assembly to gather a majority of members (190 of 300) and generate a unanimous vote (190 of 190) to vote down the emergency martial law. The law says the president "shall comply" with parliament's vote, but doesn't specify a time frame.

Judge Chutkan dismisses the DC criminal case against Donald Trump without prejudice, granting Jack Smith's motion storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![OPINION
The Government has moved to dismiss the Superseding Indictment without prejudice.
Government’s Mot. to Dismiss, ECF No. 281 (“Motion”). Defendant does not oppose the
Motion, id. at 1, and the court will grant it.
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a) provides that before trial, the Government
“may, with leave of court, dismiss an indictment.” The “‘principal object of the “leave of court”
requirement’ has been understood to be a narrow one—‘to protect a defendant against
prosecutorial harassment . . . when the [g]overnment moves to dismiss an indictment over the
defendant’s objection.’” United States v. Fokker Servs. B.V., 818 F.3d 733, 742 (D.C. Cir. 2016)
(quoting Rinaldi v. United States, 434 U.S. 22, 29 n.15 (1977)).
FOOTNOTE:
Some courts in this district have advanced a broader view of the “leave of court”
requirement. For instance, one concluded that “a judge may deny an unopposed Rule 48(a)
motion if, after an examination of the record, (1) she is not ‘satisfied that the reasons advanced
for the proposed dismissal are substantial’; or (2) she finds that the prosecutor has otherwise
‘abused his discretion.’” United States v. Flynn, 507 F. Supp. 3d 116, 130 (D.D.C. 2020)
(quoting United States v. Ammidown, 497 F.2d 615, 620–22 (D.C. Cir. 1973)). Even under that
broader interpretation, however, the court finds no reason to deny leave here.
Here, Defendant consents to
the dismissal, Motion at 1, and there is no indication that the dismissal is “part of a scheme of
‘prosecutorial harassment’” or otherwise improper, Fokker Servs. B.V., 818 F.3d at 742 (quoting](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qrllvid7s54k4hnwtqxwetrf/bafkreihwn37tibrtvro7gwivgrsl5jqdi6vxji5gcrnarraw43poz73aii@jpeg)

Resting with some reading and man, sad that Audre Lorde’s words ring true all these decades later.
White women, we gotta know the call is coming from inside the house and do something about it. And white queer and trans people, this applies to you too.

Having comforted trans friends coping with suicidality since the election, I have struggled to compose myself today in a manner that would allow me to respond reasonably to the idea that the vilification of trans folks that underlies bathroom bans is a "distraction."

I’m highlighting accounts from Palestine today and next is Mona. Mona is the 28 year old mother to three young children (Yazan, 7, Kenan, 5 and Kenzi, 2) and I’ve video called those sweet faces in her tent in Gaza. She is from North Gaza and has been displaced for almost a year. $5 would really help

Odessa, Texas has voted to pass a transgender bathroom bounty law that applies to PRIVATE bathrooms.
This means even in queer spaces.
If a cisgender person encounters a transgender person, they can sue them for $10,000 or more.
This is the first law of its kind in the nation.
