the feds saying theyll end their campaign of terror against an american city if their demands are met is the biggest domestic scandal of my lifetime

On Wednesday, Herman told the judge he would likely be filing a motion to dismiss the conspiracy count on First Amendment grounds, saying the "basics for any conspiracy" allegation were missing from the indictment. "Where does it begin? When does it end? That is a concern," Herman said, noting that if the government's theory were true, then anyone outside the Broadview facility that day could be part of the conspiracy. After court, Herman told reporters in the lobby of the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse that having the case hanging over her head while running a campaign has been a "tremendous weight" for Abughazaleh, and that if they don't succeed in getting it dismissed they'll ask for a quick trial date. "I think collectively we want to bring this case to trial sooner because of everything that is happening in this country right now with the DHS," Herman said. "We think what this case would ultimately do is expose one more overreach."

Clipping of Sun Times article, that reads: Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh and five fellow Broadview demonstrators could face trial this spring on a federal conspiracy_charge tied to Operation Midway Blitz that continues to raise questions about protesters' First Amendment rights. Attorneys in the case sought a trial date Wednesday during a status hearing before U.S. District Judge April Perry. They did so less than a week after a separate case tied to the feds' aggressive immigration campaign ended with a high-profile jury. acquittal. However, defense attorneys have signaled that a key issue at trial could be the agent's "decision and motivation to drive his vehicle into a crowd of more than 50 individuals who were peacefully protesting the documented atrocities occurring inside the Broadview facility." They've noted that no other protester has faced criminal charges for such conduct. They say progressive politics and criticism of the Trump administration "are the only ties that bind" the six defendants.

Criminalizing protest is a hallmark of repression. This case isn’t isolated. It’s part of a broader effort to silence dissent and erode democracy.

But despite the administration’s best efforts, we’re going to win.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

These guys are claiming Kirk as a nazi.

I'm curious, from the right's perspective, is this unacceptable criticism, of the type that's getting liberals fired from their jobs, or is this honoring his legacy?

It will never not be amazing to me that journalists and other people in positions of public influence willingly stay on a site that is being openly manipulated on every level by one of the worst human beings on Earth.

Disgraceful.

it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season

Are there any APIs similar to Next’s cacheTags/cachePath in other frameworks?

Seems like it would be pretty trivial to add some CDN cache headers when building pages… I suppose cache busting is where it gets more complicated and CDN specific

Just gave @deno.land a try for some new packages, and it’s fantastic. Everything I’ve been missing from Node, and so much simpler.

My favorite part is that packages are still accessible in non-demo projects, and I don’t have to worry about compiling for compatibility–it’s just part of the platform

Who’s Afraid Of Zohran Mamdani? The mayoral candidate defeated the master plan for the first time ever — and that’s prompted an elite panic about who gets to control political outcomes.

NEW from me co-pubbed w/Rolling Stone:

The elite panic about Zohran Mamdani is about him being the first candidate to defeat the oligarchy & its master plan in a nationalized election. They fear they've lost power to determine political outcomes.

It's also why Obama-era Dem elites are panicking.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

“At least I can call people retarded again.”

Interesting read. Definitely agree that blogs and simpler sites are often over-engineered.

Curious if the criticisms around performance, accessibility, maintenance and UX are anecdotal or if there are statistics to back them up?

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:

“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Can’t tell if this is just bad reporting or deliberately misleading.

Others mentioned visiting countries besides Israel, but when @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social said he would stay in NYC (the only correct answer FWIW) a moderator challenged his belief of Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.
