C’est parce qu’ici, nous parlons #politique que nous avons le devoir de trouver les mots justes, des mots qui expriment clairement nos #convictions, sans affirmer davantage que ce que la #raison et la #science nous permettent de soutenir… C’est aussi ça, l’#athéismeréformé.

The #Trump admin is creating a path for people with #criminal #convictions to own #guns again.
The policy drew controversy last year, in part because of #DOJ’s decision to restore gun rights to actor #MelGibson, a prominent Trump supporter who has a conviction for #battery against a former girlfriend. #GunControl groups who opposed to move have said the issue threatens #PublicSafety, especially when restoring gun rights to those with #DomesticViolence convictions.

The #backlash against #netzero continues & the #goal of reducing #CO2 #emissions retreats further into the future, thanks to a pusillanimous #Labour #Government, that hasn't got the #courage of its own feeble #convictions. Will #EdMilband #resign over this? Will he Hell!

Ceci est un rappel utile : tant que nous, #athées, ne manifesterons pas publiquement nos #convictions, les #catholiques imposeront les leurs.
#Athéesréformistes, êtes-vous prêts à en imposer ?

I hope all 4 (out of 6) convicted #activists will appeal against their #convictions, & that their #appeals will be successful. #YvetteCooper should not, needless to say, have written that #article against the advice of the #CPS, & her proscription of #PalestineAction has been overturned by the #HighCourt.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
My greatest fear has always been that I would be afraid — afraid physically or mentally or morally — and allow myself to be influenced by fear instead of by my honest convictions.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1942-08), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59More about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-eleanor/28…

In court filings, prosecutors asked the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to vacate the #convictions so that the govt can permanently dismiss the indictments.
“The government’s motion to vacate in this case is consistent with its practice of moving the Supreme Court to vacate convictions in cases where the government has decided in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of a criminal case is in the interests of justice—motions that the Supreme Court routinely grants,”prosecutors wrote… -
#Trump commuted the #prison sentences of several #ProudBoys & #OathKeepers leaders last January in a sweeping act of #clemency for all 1,500-plus defendants charged in the #Jan6, 2021, attack.
The request by the #DOJ would go a step further & ERASE the #convictions for the #extremist group leaders, including Oath Keepers founder #StewartRhodes.

[S]he brought some of those apples. I was obliged to eat them, I was so hungry. It was against my principles, but I find that principles have no real force except when one is well-fed.

Each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak. And it is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catch-phrases of politicians. Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn’t. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may. If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country — hold up your head! You have nothing to be ashamed of.
