  • "There's going to be a war": Centrist House Democrats plot Mamdani Caucus counterattack

  • They'll try all these things, but who knows if they'll be successful. They're less powerful than they used to be.

  • If Phones Are Killing Pedestrians, Why Is It Only Happening in America?

    Jump

  • My hypothesis is that the rise in distracted driving was just as bad in European countries but they have safer infrastructure that limits cars' speed and otherwise protects pedestrians, and I think that could be tested by looking at the rates of car crashes overall in Europe (if those went up at the same time as the US without a corresponding rise in dead pedestrians I think that'd suggest their infrastructure is the difference)

  • This doesn't read like AI to me, it actually does connect its thoughts together and builds an argument narrative

    That said, it is really awful human writing that has some cringey phrasing choices and the kind of grammar/sentence structuring I'd expect from a text to speech derived unedited stream of consciousness, I'm just not getting AI vibes off of it

  • ‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison

    Jump

  • It was a state trial

    Nope, just quoting from the above article (bolds added),

    On Tuesday, Elizabeth was sentenced to 50 years in federal prison ... Their attorneys announced their intention to appeal, but many supporters are doubtful that anything short of a presidential pardon from a future administration would free them.

  • Trump Refuses to Sign Housing Bill Until Unpopular Voting Restrictions Pass Congress

    Jump

  • No, I think their complaining and lobbying is a bullshit pretense to keep everyone talking about this legislation that doesn't solve the problem (and creates a few new ones) instead of talking about policies that would actually do something

  • ‘This is injustice’: how leftist zines were used to sentence anti-ICE protesters to decades in prison

    Jump

  • They need to be on the lips of anyone who wants the Democratic party's nomination for president, immediately preceded by "I hereby pledge on my first day in office to immediately pardon"

  • Trump Refuses to Sign Housing Bill Until Unpopular Voting Restrictions Pass Congress

    Jump

  • This bill is becoming law whether he supports it or not. It's also quite popular (with everyone who is not in Private Equity).

    I don't buy any Private Equity whining about this, all they need to do is spin up a few corporate shells and they'll be able to keep each one of them under the limit on single family home ownership, but they'll still be cashing subsidies for construction and enjoying the gutting of environmental regulations that came with this

    The real housing reform we need is more public housing on the market owned and administered by municipal or state governments, anything short of that is just going to be putting money back into the pockets of the land barons

  • Also, it passed with a veto proof majority, so unless he's able to brow beat Republicans into switching their votes when he sends it back to them it's a done deal

  • Prairieland ‘Antifa’ Activists Sentenced to Decades in Prison on ‘Terrorism’ Charges

  • Huh, every single state court system does things differently so maybe there was no limit in your case, but there is definitely a limit in federal trials, see Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, Rule 24, part (b) here - https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_24 (arc)

  • Trump’s Private Health Troubles Are Revealed; Aides confessed the 80-year-old president was “beginning to seem old” for the first time.

    “He was also having trouble hearing, asking people to repeat questions they had just asked,” Haberman and Swan wrote. “Joint press conferences with world leaders were more often held in the Oval Office than in the East Room, in part because the acoustics were better, and he didn’t have to stand for an hour.”

    And while the president has always been known for speaking his mind, “whatever thin verbal filter he had in the past was gone,” the book continued. Some of Trump’s aides began saying privately that for the first time he was beginning to seem old to them.

    “Those who spent time with him could see the signs—the moments of fatigue, the cupped hand behind the ear,” according to Haberman and Swan.

    The book also sheds new light on a symptom the Daily Beast has long reported on: his bulging ankles, which his doctors have said is the result of chronic venous insufficiency.

    The condition occurs when the legs don’t pump blood properly back to the heart.

    According to Regime Change, Trump was upset about the press coverage of his “cankles” and demanded that his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, address it during one of her media briefings.

    Seems like everything else in this article is just Trump and his cronies whining about the news accurately reporting on his appearance and behavior going downhill

  • Yeah, also maybe explains a bit about the guilty verdicts in the first place - I bet every single one of those prospective jurors got rejected and the prosecution didn't have to spend any of their challenges to do it because being opposed to ICE meant they were "biased"

    Jump

  • Yeah, hearing the NYT decry hijacking of the public square is like hearing a Republican complain that Trump's foreign policy is destabilizing the world

  • They wrote the same episode twice

    Jump

  • No, but it is an explanation. Racism is ultimately just a particularly harmful kind of lazy thinking, reducing complex people to lazy stereotypes. But just because it can have a mundane origin doesn't mean it's not evil.

    Voters reject effort to hike Oklahoma’s minimum wage

    1. Pretty sure the margin in this vote was a little less than 90%
    2. Saying "I believe other people have been brainwashed" without even making a gesture at evidence to support your own claim seems a bit ironic
