TW
Judge says teen rapist deserves leniency because he’s from a good family, prosecutors should have explained to victim that pressing charges would ruin his life:
At least the appeals court handed him his ass and cleared the way for the teen to be tried as an adult.

WTAF. He texted about it and used the word RAPE!? And the judge still said that?! This judge needs to lose his job now.

BREAKING: We just won due process rights back for asylum seekers. A federal court just ruled the Trump administration cannot arbitrarily detain people exercising their legal right to seek asylum without a hearing. Now to get it enforced.

I am *so glad* that AOC is in Congress. Her voice needs to be there, and I am all for us electing more brave young people (esp POC) who will speak truth to power.

Thank you for sharing this. I've watched a lot of the matches (and all the U.S. ones) because I love soccer and always have, but there's been something different this World Cup I couldn't put my finger on and I think this article explains it.

So I'm wondering if anyone else would be interested in an - information to combat disinformation - thread. I've already come across various untruths being spread about Kamala's record and I was thinking it might be helpful to have the refutations all in one place. And as the campaign continues I'm sure she won't be the only target, she's just the first since she did so well in the debates, so obviously the thread would be for all of the Dem hopefuls.

There is an active shooter at a mall here. Multiple injuries reported. I hope everything settled down ok and there were no casualties.
And this is how normal shootings are; I had no clue this even happened yesterday until seeing your post just now. It's so wrong on so many levels.

I dont know where this goes here or candidates but
But the police (union?) of South Bend have called for Mayor Pete to remove himself from the investigation.
I feel like it is politicizing a bit for him to be talking about it on the stump
BUT At least its getting WAY MORE national attention then previous police shootings and its keeping the spotlight on the problem rather than it getting buried in city bureaucracy

I know. It’s not even a headline today here and it was crazy last night because they had to shut down multiple stations of BART. It sounds like it wasn’t random but the injured are teenagers (15 and 18). They are listed in critical condition but that’s all I know. They think two people were shooting at each other but it’s not clear if the kids shot were involved in that or bystanders. Either way it’s horrible. They think the suspects fled on BART which has a station attached to the mall and at one point they shut down a station across the bay and swept a train and found a gun. Just another day in America. 😢

Same. This is the only place I've seen anything about it at all. I can't believe the rate at which this is becoming normalized. Somewhat related though, I just saw that Walmart will stop selling guns in my state by the end of the month. I know it's only because of new legislation and not any sort of stance they're taking but I'm happy about it all the same.

The Second Circuit is about to spill the Epstein tea 2d Circuit has ruled that details of allegations against Jeffrey Epstein and his associates (and unflattering details about his accusers) should be unsealed. Some will likely come out soon Decision: t.co/iBJv13acWl Earlier: t.co/gWfFGvFKY7

There seems to be some interest in an anti-disinformation thread, so I'll start one later today when I get back from my doctor's appointment. I can already tell this election season this going to be brutal and I figure we're going to need all the help we can get combating the lies and misrepresentations.

AOC is breathing life into me lately. I wasn't sure what to think of her at first but she has been a breath of fresh air. She's very smart and gets after it. I love following her on social media and I think she is great at pushing the big issues and she's not afraid to call out BS. I'm looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for her.

I really wish that it was talked about more that it isn’t an actual heartbeat that is detected that early. But that would require knowledge of basic science and...well...

Also. Not really politics related, but DD3 makes me read her The Princess and the Pony multiple times a day and I always think of fatpony. I should bring her to one of your story times!
