Saw a headline about the plan in LA to have cops stop and frisk people as they exit for fare cards What they should be doing is stop and frisk tax audits, where they randomly stop people in suits downtown and review their prior year tax returns to see if they owe more than they’ve paid to the city

I saw the OG Batman in the theater in the earliest screening Friday. As I walked out, I passed the line of people waiting to get in the next screening and a guy behind me said “I can’t believe they killed ___ in the end” and the whole line groaned. Spoiler people are terrible people.

This is why people were calling out news organizations for giving such detailed descriptions of jurors it would be easy to doxx them. Shit a juror recused herself because her friends/family already knew who she was because of media descriptions.

JUST IN: Colorado adopted a new law that's a national first: It mandates in-person polling places within local jails, to help people detained there vote. The Governor just signed the bill into law. Key context: People in jails typically already have right to vote but face enormous hurdles.

"The market for carbon offsets shrank dramatically last year, falling from $1.9bn (£1.5bn) in 2022 to $723m in 2023, a new report has found. The drop came after a series of scientific and media reports found many offsetting schemes do nothing to mitigate the climate crisis…"

Haaretz reporter had the story of the Mossad chief threatening the top ICC prosecutor but Israeli authorities said if he published, he’d "suffer the consequences and get to know the interrogation rooms of the Israeli security authorities from the inside."

This is who’s on the senate judiciary committee. If you’re in CA, set reminders in your phone to call tomorrow. They don’t even have people answering their phones so you can just leave a voicemail, which means you can write yourself a little script. Someone made a good one, I’ll repost next skeet.

Senator Durbin is Charmian of the Senate Judiciary Committee and his DC office phone number is 202-224-2152 and the Committee number is 202-224-7703. (Also, feel free to let them know you want them to suspend the blue slips policy, if you want your call to do double duty.)

Oh I misunderstood that as saying he shouldn’t have gone to trial for this one at all. Yeah in a perfect world it would have been the classified docs trial or the Jan 6 trial first, but this guy has plenty of experience with stonewalling and the appellate courts are entertaining it so…

Okay I’ll bite. What’s the stupid precedent? Isn’t it fair to say that business records should conform with the law and hush money payments to a porn star should not be labeled as legal fees to the money bag handler?

It’s always funny how these reports start confidently with “we know building Target X was a military target” then way later we find out it was a school, wedding ceremony etc.

It’s more than cruelty. The richer are getting richer BECAUSE they keep people in a cycle of poverty (late fees, accruing interest on debt, etc). The GOP serves the 1%. The 1% profits greatly from keeping a foot on the neck of the poor.

The first half is definitely true, but the govt pays the lawyer if they win, so you shouldn’t have to come out of pocket. The problem is, you lose time and don’t have benefits in the interim
