  2. An overview of today's supreme court rulings

    The supreme court ruled that Donald Trump’s firing of #Federal #Reserve governor
    Lisa Cook was unconstitutional,
    in a landmark ruling that limits a president’s authority over the central bank.
    In its opinion, the court said that Trump does not have the constitutional authority to fire a Fed governor without cause.
    The ruling is a major win for the central bank, which has spent the last year under attack from the White House.


    But, in a separate case, the justices ruled that Trump can #fire leaders of #independent #agencies or commissions,
    ending 90 years of court precedent that curbs executive power.
    That case centered on Rebecca Slaughter, whom Trump fired as Federal Trade Commission member in March last year over email,
    telling her that keeping her as a commissioner would be “inconsistent with [the] administration’s priorities”.


    The court handed Trump another loss, refusing to hear his bid to overturn a $5m verdict in favor of E Jean #Carroll
    in a case in ⁠which a jury found ⁠him liable for #sexually #abusing the former magazine columnist and then #defaming her.
    The 2023 jury verdict and a $5m civil judgment remain in place.

    The high court declined to take up the case in a brief, unexplained order.
    There were no noted dissents.


    The supreme court sided against national Republicans and the Trump administration to allow #mail-in #ballots that arrive after election day to be counted, upholding the law in more than a dozen states.
    The Republican National Committee had challenged a Mississippi state law allowing mailed ballots to be counted if they arrive within five business days of election day, so long as they were postmarked by election day.
    The court’s liberal justices pointed to federal laws that allow for grace periods, while noting that a ruling here could also implicate early voting, another common practice.


    The court also refused to revive a $300m #defamation lawsuit filed against #CNN over its coverage of a prominent attorney’s remarks made while defending Trump during his 2020 impeachment.
    Alan Dershowitz said CNN aired only a portion of the comment made during his defense of the president,
    distorting his meaning to make him look like he’d “lost his mind”.
    The network said that multiple outlets had interpreted his remarks in a similar way, and Dershowitz couldn’t show CNN was trying to mischaracterize what he said.
    The court’s majority declined to take up the case in a brief, unexplained order.


    And finally, the supreme court threw out a judicial decision ⁠involving a Virginia man’s challenge to a #geofence #warrant used by police to access cellphone location data near a crime scene leading to his conviction for armed robbery.
    The justices threw out ⁠a lower court’s ruling against ⁠defendant Okello Chatrie, who had argued he was subjected to an illegal search
    and that evidence in his case should be excluded.
    The court agreed that a search had occurred, but sent the case back to a lower court to conduct further analysis.

  4. I understand my mom's #delusions about demons in our house coming to take my brother and I's soul now.

    She would be awake for weeks and go insane, paint crosses on our doors with her own blood trying to protect us from the angel of death.

    My dad's soul was gone in her delusions too. She was scared of him.

    I see now she subconsciously knew he was #abusing all of us, and trying to protect her children, and had gone so insane she didn't know how.

    It's always, "giving raises and benefits and time off to workers will cause inflation," not "#CEOs and top execs getting millions in yearly raises and bonuses, and large corporations #price-gouging to line #shareholder pockets is causing inflation."

    As #MalcolmX said, "If you're not careful, the #newspapers will have you hating the #people who are being #oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the #oppressing."

  21. Children reaching UK in small boats sent to jail for adult sex offenders

    theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/a

    “These children are locked down in their cells, not knowing who to call for help, prevented from adequately accessing legal advice and from challenging the arbitrary decision made about their ages by immigration officials upon arrival in the UK. These are children looking for safety who instead find themselves in an adult prison, denied that protection and exposed to great harm.”
    Anita Hurrell, head of the migrant children’s project at the children’s charity Coram, said: “It is wrong to criminalise these children and dangerous to send them to adult men’s prisons.”

"Extremely dangerous how "grooming" in the context of child sexual #abuse went from being a very specific pattern of isolation and trust-building with the aim of #abusing #someone to "telling #children anything that contradicts their #parents' ultra-conservative #worldview is #grooming" to "selling rainbow flags in a store is grooming" to "literally #anyone I don't like is a #groomer".

    These days the #word seems to most often be used by #people who don't care about what it actually means and just want an easy "this person is irredeemably evil, kill them now" button."

  24. This is an #attempt to #wrest back #control of the user's #web #experience, so they can #abuse you for money. #Abusing people is very #profitable in Big Tech.

    I haven't even dealt with #accessibility issues in this thread, though those are hugely #impacted by this.

    It also will make people #unsafe by taking away a lot of #anonymity #choices.

    This is pure #evil. Hunt down "Web Environment Integrity" wherever it lives, and kill it with fire.
