Interfering with the ability of people trapped in conflict zones, to access food or healthcare,

is
a
crime
against
humanity

under the Rome Statute. This applies to anyone, acting from anywhere.

This labeler will be shutting down. We will first be unlabeling everyone who is labeled and then will cease to operate. As the unlabeling operation will take an unknown amount of time, we are not setting a specific timeline other than as soon as possible.

They don't, so why would they.

They could do this now and don't.

This is just a teacher doing her bosses' dirty work. Nothing new, nothing to see. I'm sure they'll find a way to scapegoat a minority to help them get their way.

A governor typically does not get to order their state and local police forces willy-nilly, no. Police authorities have a lot of independent operational capacity away from a governor's thumb because, well, that would be monstrous

Yeah but also most American police forces, like most police forces everywhere, are independently operated policing agencies that aren't under direct political control because that would be... nutso

They operate under policy developed by civilian boards, responsive to state law but that's it.

Pritzker seems to be semi waving the white flag on that and acting like he doesn't control his state police. Hope he reconsiders.

This little twerp, who’s been there a few months, axed two of the lions of WaPo??

Fisher is an investigative champion and had been at The Post for 39 years. Hoffman had been there for 42, and he won a Pulitzer LAST YEAR.

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 22h
Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing “intellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pages—but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

I don't think they'll die quietly, I think they'll make a judge throw it out and then just keep appealing up, but they won't Brady and it will be obvious enough to get it tossed and a number of people trashed on the way. They never lose a battle easy when they can lose it hard

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it
black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

It probably won't take very long but the defence will prepare its motion with great care so it'll take as long as it does.

It won't be today. The arraignment finalizes the current set of charges and formally presents it. Comey will be asked to plead; he will presumably plead not guilty. From that point, it will make sense for a motion to dismiss the charges will make sense, and one of those grounds will be malice.

I got really interested last year in the history of alchemical and Aristotelian-Christian thought about the nature of substance, purity and impurity, and how those ideas were applied to humans in the Inquisition and the Conquest. (Un)luckily those ideas are still alive and fucking us up today

There will be a long accounting required of the discipline of academic philosophy and its highly peculiar role as an attentive and servile courtier to America's descent into madness, just as one is required of the legal academy.
