re: #4 jaunte

It is an addiction fueled by psychopathic energy. All these assholes have more than enough to live a really nice life and provide for whoever else they want to, but it’s not enough. Nope, they have to inflict pain, hate and whatever awful they can come up with next. How do you even deal with humans this fucking broken? They won’t stop destroying the world until they are stopped. And that is where the wheels often begin falling off the wagon when it comes to solutions.

I just spent the better part of a week dealing with far too much ridiculous bullshit that is a direct result of the mean and inhumane system we’ve accepted as normal. Among many other things, I am a survivor of domestic violence before I met a man who actually loved me, and I can tell you this: When someone is hellbent on violence as a means of pretty much everything, they absolutely will not stop, unless their power is removed. And even then, you really can’t just ignore them. They have to be stopped and they won’t go quietly. How we destroy this mess is going to be a key in our survival as a nation, IMO.

Hi Everyone! LOL. Ya’all, it’s been A LOT lately. I have a very sick GSD too, which is why I am awake past midnight.

The Story Behind The XZ Backdoor Is Way More Fascinating Than It Should Be

Almost like a high tech movie.

A good example of why open source is both more vulnerable but more likely to be fixed. Had this been a typical closed project that was compromised, we could never be certain if it had _really_ been fixed.

Or - in a different vein - with government interference in places like Australia where they can order a back door even in a open source project and jail anyone who talks about it? (Sessions, I’m looking at you… )

re: #9 jaunte

yeah, there are quite a few of those around me. One of the church properties near my house was first a house built in the 60s, on maybe 15 acres, still standing, that was sold and a large church building was built near the house. It was a predominately black church in a very white area, they actually ran shuttle busses from a local mall nearby that had a bus station. How that worked as long as it did was an homage to persistence. They were there maybe 5 yrs and put the place up for sale. Then this new church/school/something combo business has moved in and there will be a religious school and church, expanded parking lot and a home for whoever the head church dude is. I wonder how much the state and federal governments are forking over for this one? It’s annoying, there is zero affordable housing here and it’s needed so badly. But there is only space for church related things and those 55+ “communities” with asshole HoAs and 750K houses on a tenth of an acre and wall around the whole thing. It is short sighted and stupid.

An interesting ruling today from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR)

A group of older Swiss women have won a partial victory in their climate case in the European Court of Human Rights.

The women, mostly in their 70s, said that their age and gender made them particularly vulnerable to the effects of heatwaves linked to climate change.

The court said Switzerland’s efforts to meet its emission reduction targets had been woefully inadequate.

It is the first time the powerful court has ruled on global warming.

This little nugget is what makes this ruling interesting…

The ruling is binding and can trickle down to influence the law in 46 countries in Europe including the UK.

If God told her to shoot at people, then preventing her from doing so constitutes governmental infringement on her Freedom of Religion.

An 18-year-old from Idaho was arrested Saturday and accused of plotting to kill churchgoers in his town in the name of ISIS, according to court documents unsealed Monday.

Alexander Mercurio was charged in a criminal complaint with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization. He remains in custody and has not entered a plea, according to court records.

Investigators alleged Mercurio was about to attack at least one church in his area on April 7 — a Sunday — with guns, knives, and flammable chemicals, but they said they foiled his plans before he could carry out his plan.

Mercurio is accused of writing to an unnamed FBI source that he was set to “stop close by the church, equip the weapon(s) and storm the temple, killing as many people as possible.” His goal, according to investigators, was to carry out an act of martyrdom before the end of Ramadan — the holy month observed peacefully by Islam practitioners across the globe that emphasizes prayer and fasting — and pledge his allegiance to the leader of ISIS.

“I am going to perform a martyrdom operation very soon,” he allegedly wrote in one recent message. “The targets will be the various churches in my town.”

Well, I mean, there is….it’s called Iran. Granted, they’ll have to accept that in Islam, Jesus is a prophet (albeit, one of the major prophets) and not God incarnate, and they’ll just have to get used to the fact that the Arabic word for “God” is Allah (and that’s specifically referring to the Abrahamic deity) but those caveats aside, I strongly encourage them to move to Iran as soon as humanly possible.

Reminder:

Trump who claims that he generated $50 million in a MAL fundraiser among millionare/billionaires just days after Biden hauled in a record $25 million from a Radio City Music Hall gathering that included former Presidents Obama and Clinton, has not verified that he actually received any money from that fundraising effort.

It’s all on his say so. Why should anyone believe that he got that amount?

And more to the point, every American who isn’t a billionaire should be asking why billionaires want Trump so badly - it’s because Trump will personally benefit all those billionaires with more tax cuts and slash and burn the safety net to “balance the books”. Trump has nothing but contempt for his base, and will lie shamelessly about it. Trump wont give tax cuts for the middle class or poor, or will do anything to help his base (other than feed their xenophobia/racism, which is particularly laughable since most of the places where Trump voters live are hundreds, or thousands of miles, from the nearest southern border and are overwhelmingly homogenously white and Christian - and Trump preys on these folks because of their fear that someone who isn’t white or Christian will somehow end up in their community). Racism is the tie that binds the GOP together, along with misogyny and bigotry.

Trump mastered that trifecta of hate, and his base loves him for allowing them to let their bigotry flags fly.

As I’ve stated in the past, the Christian fascist/misogynists pushing abortion bans violate the 1st Amendment, and the religious freedom of every other American who doesn’t believe that life starts at conception. This bears out as a lawsuit in Indiana winds its way through state courts, arguing precisely this - that the abortion ban enacted after Trump’s SCOTUS overturned Roe violates the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act because as a Jew, we believe that life begins when you take your first breath - after being born alive.

To receive an exemption under Indiana’s RFRA, the plaintiffs in this case first had to show that Indiana’s abortion ban “substantially burdens” their sincere religious beliefs or practices. This wasn’t hard. As the individual plaintiffs explained, they have stopped trying to become pregnant out of fear that they would not be able to act according to their religious beliefs in circumstances that conflict with Indiana’s abortion ban. For example, several of the Jewish plaintiffs stated that the law would prevent them from acting according to their religious commitments, which would lead them to abort a pregnancy that jeopardizes their mental or physical well-being or when a fetus is diagnosed with severe chromosomal defects that will likely lead to miscarriage or early death, even if those defects are not considered “lethal” within the meaning of state law.

At the start of this litigation, some conservative lawyers floated the deeply dangerous idea that the Jewish plaintiffs in this case were insincere about their religious commitments—in other words, that they are lying to cover for their pro-choice political views. This argument, which the Indiana court rejects in a perfunctory footnote, was preposterous and should never have been made in the first place. Taking criticism (including from us), at least one conservative commentator abandoned his “tentative thoughts” along these lines, acknowledging that liberal and non-Orthodox Jews, like so many other religious believers, can state free exercise claims when they are motivated by their religious ethics, even if they don’t view traditional religious law as binding in the way some others do.

Under Indiana’s RFRA, once the plaintiffs show that the state’s abortion ban substantially burdens their religion, Indiana then has to prove two things: that the ban is justified by a “compelling interest” and that the ban is the “least restrictive means” of achieving that interest. Here, the state’s argument looks simple: It has a compelling interest in protecting life starting at conception, and allowing religious exemptions would undermine that interest. According to the state, an abortion ban is necessary—nothing less would do the job.

But here is where Indiana runs directly into the buzzsaw of current religious exemptions doctrine. In case after case, the U.S. Supreme Court has told us that if the state allows secular exceptions from its law, then it better have a really good explanation for why it doesn’t also allow religious exemptions. The Indiana court, applying its state RFRA—again modeled on federal law—tracks this reasoning to devastating effect for the state.

As Judge Weissmann explains, because Indiana’s abortion law has numerous secular exceptions, including for medical emergencies, cases of rape and incest, and when the fetus has a “lethal fetal anomaly,” and because the state’s 2022 abortion ban has an explicit exception for in vitro fertilization, the state interest in protecting life from the moment of fertilization is selectively applied. These exceptions thus raise the question: If the state allows abortion in some cases, why not also allow religious exemptions?

Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))  Apr 9, 2024 • 5:45:24am

re: #50 lawhawk

My personal view is not religious, but I think that once a fetus has a chance of being viable without its mother, then it has a right to life. But up to that point, the mother’s freedom of choice has precedent.

NYC pays $17.5 million after two women (and a further class of people who were affected) whose religious freedoms were violated by the NYPD. The women were forced to remove their hijabs, and were threatened with prosecution.

That’s money that could have better gone to community improvements, not to pay for the NYPD malfeasance. The NYPD and the police union didn’t pay that amount. It’s coming out of taxpayers’ pockets to cover for the NYPD malfeasance (again).

prove it

right

so doctors arent just doing this, they’re getting away with it

either everyone knows and no one will prosecute (not even an R DA)

or these doctors are so cunning they can hide this so well.

NYC pays $17.5 million after two women (and a further class of people who were affected) whose religious freedoms were violated by the NYPD. The women were forced to remove their hijabs, and were threatened with prosecution.

That’s money that could have better gone to community improvements, not to pay for the NYPD malfeasance. The NYPD and the police union didn’t pay that amount. It’s coming out of taxpayers’ pockets to cover for the NYPD malfeasance (again).

Sorry, but this is stupid. Having to remove the hijab for a mugshot shouldn’t be viewed as a religious rights violation. What’s next? Someone starts a religion that fingerprints and DNA are sacred and thus can’t be taken or used?

The opening sentence is a doozy.

Out-of-state attorney Alex Spiro brazenly engaged in unauthorized practice of law by signing and preparing Musk’s pleadings, showing up unannounced to defend Musk’s deposition with no authority to practice law in Texas, and drafting and serving subsequent legal demands to Plaintiff. Even worse, Spiro’s behavior in deposition was astonishingly unprofessional, as he continually interrupted the deposition with commentary, gave numerous improper instructions not to answer, berated opposing counsel, insulted Plaintiff ‘s claims, mocked counsel’s questions, and generally acted in the most obnoxious manner one could contemplate without crossing into parody. In doing so, he irreparably disrupted the deposition, prevented relevant questioning relating to Plaintiff ‘s TCPA response, and demonstrated his disrespect for the sanctity of these proceedings.

Regrettably, Spiro continued to act in a ridiculously unprofessional manner for the entirety of the deposition. In fact, during his next interruption moments later, Spiro indicated that he didn’t care about following deposition rules:

MR. SPIRO: I am going to interrupt again, and I don’t really care that rule you keep reading because it has nothing to do with -

All these planes with various issues may be Boeings, but once the plane leaves the factory, it’s up to the airline itself to handle routine maintenance and make sure that various fittings/fasteners are secured before the plane takes off.

This isn’t like the plug door issue - but the maintenance companies that the airlines outsource to aren’t doing their jobs quite right either. They’re not screwing stuff back on properly. So, while the majority of the planes with stuff falling off are Boeings, that’s also a function of that a majority of planes in service today are Boeings.

Yes, I’ve paid estimated taxes of 500 dollars before, but that wouldn’t explain how that exact amount came back to me, even if I’d somehow overpaid. Well, I’m going to hurry down to the bank before the U.S. government determines it’s done something wrong here.

My personal view is not religious, but I think that once a fetus has a chance of being viable without its mother, then it has a right to life. But up to that point, the mother’s freedom of choice has precedent.

I choose a similar time, but with different reasoning.

I believe personhood is situated in the cerebral cortex; when that attaches to the brainstem and becomes functional, that’s when fetus becomes a human being. Conveniently enough, that happens at around the same time (22 weeks) that the lungs become capable of processing oxygen.

The all-time record for a surviving premature birth is 23 weeks, which is only possible if the birth happens in a. hospital with a state-of-the-art NICU and sufficient staff. Even then, the odds are 50-50.

I believe it is wrong to give a being human rights so long as an actual born person’s life is involved to the point that it can come down to one or the other, medically speaking. The born person, at an age when pregnancy is possible, takes precedence at all times. No abortion laws are needed. Any can be harmful.

My first plane trip was a small corporate jet from Bismarck ND to Watertown SD (whoo hoo!). Highlights: one of the people flying the plane getting up and serving us coffee and doughnuts once reached cruising altitude; pilots trying to fly around a massive thunderhead only to have to eventually go into part of it and subsequently feeling all of a sudden being 20 feet left of where we just were and eventually popping out of the clouds to see Bismarck blanketed by golden light rays filtered through the clouds.

i dont have time to lay all this out right now

i have always held several complimentary and competing ideas.

- at all points in the gestational process the woman has mostly complete authority over her own self and the exercises of her own rights. she generally also has the decision making authority over her own ‘unborn’.

- at some point in the process, the not yet born should inure *some* right to life protections.

- after that point, a woman’s decisions in exercising her rights or autonomy may conflict with the unborn’s limited protections. those situations should be subject to a timely resolution process. the process must not - a priori - assume anything about either party’s claim or position being superior, automatic, or unquestionable.

- personhood and therefore citizenry begin at the moment of a successful live birth

James and Jennifer Crumbley have been sentenced for involuntary manslaughter.

Both James and Jennifer have been sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison. Judge threw the book at ‘em.

Has FAUX chimed in to defend those “political prisoners” yet?

I saw it. Fair enough. I disagree with the law, but it is what it is.

She wasn’t strip searched as Unabogie claims.

Being “stripped” has different meanings for different people. For some people, it means taking off your underwear. For others, removing your shoes and socks. It’s about bodily autonomy.

lots more

the lazy, the careless
and that includes sellers, dealers, vendors, etc

if you’re legally transferring a weapon, it’s your weapon. you have total control over it. that includes who you give, lend, or sell it to. it’s your responsibility to be reasonable and prudent; not merely ‘legal’.

By the way, this article says she was stripped.

A Minnesota Muslim woman has received $120,000 to settle her lawsuit alleging she was forced to strip in jail and remove her hijab for a booking photo over a traffic offense, the woman and her attorneys said Tuesday.

Appeals Court Denies Another Trump Attempt to Delay Trial

Where is the constitutional right to privacy in all this?? The Republican lawmakers! In their own communities they are going to be singling people/women out, the whole awful biological, psychological business of ending a pregnancy??
Ha! They are going to be voted out the more time this goes on. The horrific experiences grow in number!

Also, the business of beginning a pregnancy. They want total control. Women are getting themselves sterilized to avoid a life-threatening pregnancy. Soon, that will be illegal.

They don’t believe in a constitutional right to privacy. It’s not unlike Bork saying that the Ninth Amendment has no meaning and is generally unenforceable by the courts.
