Here’s something reliable.
Atlanta Journal Constitution:
BREAKING: ‘Higher than usual number’ of Atlanta officers call out of work
A “higher than usual” number of Atlanta police officers failed to show up for work Wednesday night, hours after the Fulton County District Attorney announced criminal charges for two accused in the death of Rayshard Brooks.
“The department is experiencing a higher than usual number of call outs with the incoming shift,” Atlanta police posted on social media. “We have enough resources to maintain operations and remain able to respond to incidents.”
RWNJ sources are hitting this hard. SMOTI, lying shitweasel that he is, claims that AJC confirms a mass walkout. No such thing, not yet at least.
From Biden stmt: “my message to China’s leaders, or anyone else who President Trump might invite to interfere: stay out of our democracy. Stay out of our elections. The American people alone will decide the future of this country, and I am confident in the choice they will make.”

Outside of that, the political delineation is pretty stark, with Democratic-run places like Minnesota and Illinois making progress, and deeply Southern Republican places like South Carolina and Florida staring at extreme case spikes and saying, “Well, this is the point where any sane and rational person would admit we fucked up, so… WINNING!”

Trump ignores SC’s opposition to offshore drilling, moves ahead with plans to find oil
Ignoring objections from South Carolina residents, politicians, and government agencies, the Trump Administration is moving forward with its intent to conduct seismic tests for oil off the Atlantic Coast.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a ruling Monday that overruled efforts in South Carolina to stop seismic testing for oil. NOAA, an agency in the U.S. Department of Commerce, is letting applications to conduct geological and geophysical seismic surveys for oil and gas along the South Carolina coast to move forward.

Vince Champion, Southeast regional director for the International Brotherhood of Police Officers, told the AJC he could not confirm which police zones were affected.”There are officers walking off,” Champion said Wednesday evening. “There are officers saying they are not going to leave the precinct unless to help another officer. Some are walking off and sitting in their personal vehicles.”
Champion said he has been told APD was attempting to get back-up support from adjacent law enforcement agencies. But he said some agencies declined to help. “Why would you put your officer in Fulton County and take the chance of this happening?” Champion said. “You have an officer who just heard what Paul Howard said, saying he’s going to be in prison for the rest of his life or put to death, and now he’s got to surrender.”
Atlanta police declined to say whether the agency requested assistance from other agencies.

Lawsuits have been ongoing—from Feb:
The fight to stop seismic blast-testing and drilling for oil and natural gas offshore South Carolina just won one more round.
U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel of Charleston has denied the Department of the Interior’s motion to dismiss lawsuits filed by several groups, including the South Carolina Attorney General’s office…
Meanwhile, the department at any time could issue permits to start the work anyway — a possibility that opponents say they are ready to fight.
S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson called the case “vital to South Carolina and its beautiful coastline and natural resources.”

Of course, we can’t know that’s where he picked it up; he could have been infected up to 14 days earlier. That said, he and my idiot congressman, coronavirus skeptic/denier Andy Biggs, filmed a really chummy video on Saturday, which the congressman posted to his Facebook. I am, of course, needling Rep.

From an April article by Diane Hopkins from Oceana:
Policymakers and communities up and down America’s coasts agree that expanded offshore drilling is neither needed nor wanted. All the governors along the East and West Coasts, Republicans and Democrats alike, are opposed to expanded oil and gas exploration, development and production off their shores. Local chambers of commerce, as well as tourism and restaurant associations, are strongly rejecting oil exploration and development, including alliances representing over 56,000 businesses and 500,000 fishing families.
But all that matters to Trump and his gang of greed-mongers (talking about the asshole’s response after Obama increased testing and oversight after Deepwater Horizon:
Trump administration has drastically undercut these improvements by reducing testing and government review of results. The Trump administration cited that their suite of safety rollbacks will save the offshore industry about $824 million over 10 years. Focusing on industry cost-savings entirely disregards the safety and environmental benefits that the safeguards were intended to provide.
I hate these motherfuckers with every fiber of my being.
Regarding Mrs. Butterworths and race…
Mrs. Butterworth’s debuted in 1961. The syrup’s glass bottle was reportedly modeled after Thelma “Butterfly” McQueen, the actress who played Scarlett O’Hara’s maid in “Gone with the Wind.” But it isn’t clear if the matronly character is supposed to be black or white. The talking bottle in TV commercials was played by a white actress. However, because of the dark color and granny shape of the bottle, Mrs. Butterworth was commonly perceived as a black stereotype.

Of course, we are fortunate that Trump’s one positive FP attribute is that he does not thirst for bloodshed and is wary of engaging in conflict; if he had listened to Bolton, Trump’s foreign policy may have been an even greater disaster than it has been to date, especially with regard to our relationship with Iran.
A long-time family restaurant in Omaha called 11-Worth will close, after protests hit the restaurant. They decided in a Facebook post to name a breakfast dish after Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
Protests continued as they refused to remove the name.
The owner alleges he received threats on his home telephone.
The protest organiser said he’d hoped to “open a dialogue” with the restaurant owner, but the owner rebuffed his approach, hence the pickets in front of the restaurant.

Agreed. And follow-up tomorrow with an explicit warning in writing: Any cops who “walk-out” without written approval of their superior will be treated as a voluntary termination which includes forfeiture of all earned benefits and pension, while any cops who refuse to take a call for any reason will be subject to 90 days unpaid suspension.
These aren’t union contract negotiations, these are cops who are refusing to do their jobs because they don’t like facing legal consequences for their actions. They do not get to pick and choose which laws apply to them.

In June 2019, Iran had shot down an unmanned American drone, and Bolton, who has always championed what he proudly calls “disproportionate response,” pushed Trump to approve a series of military strikes in retaliation. You can sense Bolton’s excitement when he describes going home “at about 5:30” for a change of clothes because he expected to be at the White House “all night.” It’s therefore an awful shock when Trump decided to call off the strikes at the very last minute, after learning they would kill as many as 150 people. “Too many body bags,” Trump told him. “Not proportionate.”

I’m not sure what the rules read like these days, but it used to be an “up-or-out” system where if you weren’t promoted in a certain timeframe, then they booted your ass out. I heard they were going to get rid of a lot of those restrictions, but I’m not sure if this case would fall under such. Either way, it would mean putting this guy’s career on-hold for a year or more while the new admin comes in and gets settled.
Though Biden could probably earn himself a lot of brownie points if he pledged to approval the promotion as one of the first acts in office.

The Army has changed the way it determines who is eligible amongst mid-grade officers, effective for their first advancement cycle in 2019.
Commissioning officers is considered an extension of executive authority under advice and consent of the Senate.
Since the GOP has been doing everything it can to prevent Trump from having to face responsibility for his actions (see the Flynn case), I expect any resistance to arise in the Republican-controlled Senate.

But according to the WaPo piece, it seems like Vindman’s promotion -however routine and just one of “hundreds” - still has to get both Senate and WH approval: and Pentagon officials seem to be assuming that Trump (or someone) is going to block (only) Vindman as payback for his impeachment testimony.

Officers serve “at the pleasure of the President.” It would be a shady use of that power to deny L COL Vindman a promotion the Army says he should get and Congress approves, but “shady” pretty much defines everything about the maladministration.
Hence my guess the Senate will try to prevent it first.
re: #148 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷
Iirc, back in the old days… ie 1980s and 1990s, after you served a ‘time in grade’ (a certain number of years in the previous rank) and you did not have a poor fitness report, served in a useful position doing useful stuff ( for example “Special Projects Officer” was generally a career killer), screw up, or ‘peeve someone who mattered’…
There were three promotion zones, ‘Below-the-Zone’ (ie early), ‘In-the-Zone’ with your class, and ‘Above-the-Zone’ (ie ‘last chance’). If you were passed over in all three zones, you were separated from the service. (Or if you had enough time in service, you retired).
For promotion to Colonel from Lt Colonel, time in service is around 22 years, time in grade is 3 years. About 50% of the Lt Colonels eligible for promotion to Colonel are promoted. About 10% were promoted early and about 3% were promoted ‘Above-the-Zone’.
Depending upon one’s Military Occupational Skill (MOS), (rare or in great demand versus dime-a-dozen) one may have better or worse chances. The best MOS used to be ‘Married to a Senator’s daughter’.

Doesn’t hurt for appointments to service academies either.
I applied to the Naval Academy while I was in “A” School in Memphis under the Navy’s commissioning programme.
I was selected for final interviews of people from Michigan to go to Detroit (at my expense) to meet with the selection board. I was the only active duty person in the group.
The rear admiral in charge of the board straight-up told me “we’re not going to select you; we already have you.”
Just announced - as of July 1, face masks will no longer need to be worn on public transportation or in shops/shopping centers here in Czech Republic.

Service academies were something totally different. You had to have something that made you really stand out to the appointing authority. Mostly it was through Congress, so you had to be well connected politically.

Some other news regarding the ending of COVID-19 restrictions in Czech Republic (translated from Czech):
The capacity of participants to hold mass events is increasing from 500 to 1,000 people from Monday, June 22. Swimming pools, zoos and other gardens, museums, galleries, castles, chateaux and similar facilities will return to normal operation, thus abolishing the limit of ten square meters per person and mandatory distances between people. From Monday, trade fairs with a maximum participation of up to 5,000 people at the same time will be allowed. Changes are also taking place for the spa sector, where the limit of ten people for group procedures is being abolished and at the same time the rules for mass catering for spa guests are being relaxed.
From 1 July, restaurants and pubs in the Czech Republic can be open from 23:00 to 06:00. People will also be able to consume snacks in cinema auditoriums, for example. However, the relaxation of these measures will not yet apply to places with a higher incidence of COVID-19*.
*That means Prague and Karviná will still be subject to the restrictions currently in place.

I guess that on one hand going out of business is a human tragedy. (Assuming that they really do close down permanently.)
On the other hand it is the owner or his son unnecessarily acting like a provocative jerk. Amazing what happens when one goes out of one’s way to anger ones customers and neighbors. So my sympathy is rather limited.
By the way, the provocatively named meal was apparently biscuits and gravy with sausage and hashbrowns. Imagine destroying your business and (presumably) years of work over the naming of biscuits and sausage gravy.

In an only tangentially related note, Bluegrass music has grown extremely popular in Northern Ireland, where they have come to claim it as their own.
They can make a certain case that Irish fiddle tunes, airs and ballads had a strong influence on American folk music, but that also ignores the negro influence.
But the other reason is that Ulstermen cannot bring themselves to embrace a lot of Irish folk music as it involves too many rebel tunes that celebrate independence and resistance to British tyranny.

Only about 9 percent of demonstrators protesting the police killing of George Floyd in New York City came from outside the five boroughs, according to a location-based study.Of the 8,152 New York City protesters tracked via their cellphones during three days of protests between May 29 and May 31, the majority of outsiders came from nearby counties in New York and New Jersey, such as Westchester or Bergen, according to data provided by Mobilewala
It found that 76 percent of protesters in New York City were white while 14 percent were black, 8 percent were Hispanic and 1 percent were Asian. The majority were male between the ages of 18 and 34.
The 8,152 tracked protesters in New York City represent 30-60 percent of total demonstrators in the city, Datta said.

I know we’re all saying “IF ONLY BOLTON HAD TESTIFIED,” but the GOP Senate had everything it needed to convict him, and they were never going to do it. This was never going to matter, but speaking up would have been the patriotic thing to do, no matter what the GOP did.

Anne Applebaum: “He could have spoken to Robert Mueller. He could have given evidence in the House. He could have convened Republican Senators — they would have listened to him — to tell them how dangerous the president is. Instead he stayed silent…”
“All of his life he thought he was pushing America’s interests around the world. But when he had the opportunity to do something truly important for America — to torpedo this disastrous presidency — he failed
there is a chance, maybe not a big one, that if bolton had testified, and if his testimony was compelling, it would have been much harder for all the R’s to still vote to acquit
yes, still likely not enough to convict.

The Court doesn’t get into the soundness of the policy or its recission.
It only addresses the fact that Trumpworld ignored the APA and improperly revoked the DACA procedures. In other words, had Trumpworld followed the rules set out in the APA, they could have done this.
Their fucking incompetence means that they lose on one of Trump’s signature issues (stopping nonwhites from becoming citizens).

Woman complains about Black football players — and then slurs them after restaurant manager gives her free food
Jordan Clark, a cornerback for Arizona State, tweeted about the Tuesday evening incident at Whataburger in Tempe, where he and two teammates, Nolan Matthews and T Lee, had walked to get food, reported AZCentral.
The fast food restaurant was closed to dine-in or carryout orders due to the coronavirus pandemic, and many eateries don’t allow walk-up customers at the drive-through for safety reasons.
So the Black players approached a woman in line and asked if she would buy food using their money, but she told them she was in a hurry and could not, so they asked a younger white man and he agreed, Clark said.
While the players waited for their food on a wall away from the drive-through window, they overheard the woman complain to the manager about them — and he gave the woman her food for free.
“Thanks for the free food, n-words,” the woman said as she drove off, according to Clark. “Bye n-words.”

“President Trump’s campaign plans to turn this weekend’s Tulsa rally into a massive pro-Trump festival complete with musical acts, and it’s flying in high-profile backers and camera crews to show the world the fervency of his supporters,” Axios reports.
the bulwark
Charlie Sykes: “The Nixon Watergate analogy notwithstanding, has any other president faced this accumulation of public commentary from members of his own administration?”
“These are folks who have watched him up close, who have seen how his mind works, and how he handles the job. We’re not talking here about leakers like Omaraosa or other hangers-on, we are hearing now from his former secretary of defense, chief of staff, and national security advisor. And there will be more.”

From what I know, all evidence so far seems to suggest immunity is gained though obviously there’s no way to know at this point if the immunity is permanent or not.
There were some concerns early on when people who had recovered were still testing positive but that was apparently because there were still some inactive remnants of the virus in their system that the test was able to pick up.

COVID-19 Human Challenge Trials
Human challenge trials deliberately expose participants to infection, in order to study diseases and test vaccines or treatments. They have been used for influenza, malaria, typhoid, dengue fever, and cholera. Researchers are exploring whether human challenge trials could speed up the development of a vaccine for COVID-19, saving thousands or even millions of lives.

Woman complains about Black football players — and then slurs them after restaurant manager gives her free food
Jordan Clark, a cornerback for Arizona State, tweeted about the Tuesday evening incident at Whataburger in Tempe, where he and two teammates, Nolan Matthews and T Lee, had walked to get food, reported AZCentral.
The fast food restaurant was closed to dine-in or carryout orders due to the coronavirus pandemic, and many eateries don’t allow walk-up customers at the drive-through for safety reasons.
So the Black players approached a woman in line and asked if she would buy food using their money, but she told them she was in a hurry and could not, so they asked a younger white man and he agreed, Clark said.
While the players waited for their food on a wall away from the drive-through window, they overheard the woman complain to the manager about them — and he gave the woman her food for free.
“Thanks for the free food, n-words,” the woman said as she drove off, according to Clark. “Bye n-words.”
I am huge Arizona State fan, and this has been discussed heavily on ASU-centric websites. The players all mentioned that the manager was part of the problem—that he immediately assumed the players were, in fact, harassing customers, etc.

Yes. Jordan Clark is at ASU largely because of the relationship between the head coach, Herm Edwards, and Ryan Clark. From the public persona of Jordan Clark and Nolan Matthews (another player involved), coupled with the consistency of all 3 of the players’ stories, the likelihood that it didn’t happen largely as reported seems really low.

Found a few products on one of those make your own t-shirt sites from a guy in Spain. h/t @Skiddius But to be clear — this is NOT easy to find, and in no way “widely-used.” Any others? pic.twitter.com/i3pCcvrJs2

OK, so *authoritative* then…..?
This whole inverted triangle discussion is just another rat-hole…like the white power/”pointing game” routine that they love to pull. This is their idea of fun, being provocative so then can then shout “Nuh-uh!” and disavow any knowledge of their actions…
Can you imagine being the poor woman who ends up marrying Matt Gaetz?

What happens if Trump completely ignores the blocking of DACA’s cancellation and orders ICE to start rounding up ‘dreamers’ for deportation?

If Trump wants to deport Dreamers, all he has to do is repeal the EO in a legal manner.

re: #253 lawhawk
Fuck Trump. Everything they do is straight out of the goddamned Nazi playbook.
I have one quibble with the quoted tweets:
Trump & the RNC are using it to smear millions of protestors.
How can labeling protesters with symbol the Nazis used to mark “political prisoners and people who rescued Jews” been seen as “smearing” them?
It tells us who the Republicans are. It can in no way be seen as a “smear” or dishonour to the people who are labelled with it.
re: #448 Jay C
Haven’t we been there already? For a long time?
Well, Trump does say actual words, sort of.
I’m envisioning a time when he just turns red-faced, bangs his tiny fists on the lectern, and screeches “YAAAAAAA-WEEEEEEE-BABABABABA-NAHHHHH!”
To be followed by unpleasant squelchy noises.
(Context: my little niece was a real brat at age 3. She’s still the “bad kid,” but she’s evolved into a more reasonable person. I hold out no such hopes for Drumpf.)
re: #192 Targetpractice
So the “L&O!!!” crowd now promoting the idea of a nationwide “Blue Flu” and suggesting that this will be a “lesson” to Dem-run cities.
And note that these same people are those who are all “right to work” and “they should be fired!” when it regards any sort of regular work force walking out.
They show their true colors pretty often.

I’m half Irish. It pisses me off no end when people start talking about how the Irish were slaves. Bullshit.
“Wage slavery” was a constant southern talking point pre-Civil War. Was also a basis that they were treating the actual slaves better since they got care in their old age as compared to the northern factory owners just disposing of their workers when they got old.
