You’d think that half the population of Florida is trans with the disproportional amount of effort the gremlins in charge undetake to inflict cruelty on them.
When are the people of Florida going to put their precious second amendment rights to good use?
Odd that people think the justice department / FBI would’ve changed since they J Edgar Hoover days without ever having faced any significant reforms. It’s still operating the same way, with different people.
This country is so fucked. We have a blatant criminal running for president with half the country too stupid or incapable of believing the facts and actually getting his ass in jail, all because he has an R next to his name. Our government is completely deprived of doing anything positive or good for it’s people. We’re going to spend the next 50 years walking a fine line between fascism and democracy, with all our energy spent on trying to stay on the democracy side, while the citizens of the US suffer the consequences. I hope I’m wrong but with this stupid MAGA cult so high up the chain of the government, it’s hard to see a bright future.
In the country’s defense, those assholes literally ran the government from the highest level for 4 years and gave up power were forced to give up power after their term ended. We have a pretty robust system. I am concerned that so many people are so stupid to be hoodwinked by him and his ilk, but the system was built to withstand this type of shit…at least for a single time.
Meanwhile Biden and democrats have been out there with things like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Bill actually helping Americans. If you think that the government isn’t capable of doing positive or good for it’s people anymore, you haven’t been paying attention. It may not be sweeping, and only barely enacted, but a lot of good has been done recently.
The rail road workers got everything they wanted and more. The admin followed up even if the media fell off. They also just raised the construction workers minimum wages on federal contracts.
Did you ask him to take the blinders off because you wanted a second set for yourself?
Wowee you are really drinking that kool-aid aren’t you?

Sick leave? You know that crucial safety issue of staying home when you can’t perform your job. How about the skeleton crews the rail companies run giving inspectors a total of 2 minutes per car to do mandatory inspections? All these issues labor was raising before the national disaster of East Palestine.
The admin followed up even if the media fell off.
Do you even know what you are championing in this statement? “CSX was the first to grant paid sick days to several of its unions and has now granted sick days to 61% of its 17,089 unionized employees.” OH boy 10k people got 4 days of sick leave, what a joke. That’s bread crumbs. It’s nothing to celebrate, that’s what the rail companies want to diffuse the public pressure.
labor is a fight and that's all there is to it.. people have to fight before anyone will stick their necks out.. my grandpa was a coal miner "back in the day", and he had a great job because they went on strike when it was needed.. and they took care of scabs.. they didn't fuck around..
It’s the illusion of positive change. The government is basically playing tug-o-war with the people. We have positive change, then the next guy comes and wipes it all away, and we’re back to square 1. Look at women’s rights, LGBT rights, basic human rights, etc. We thought we were safe yet here we are fighting the same fight as 50+ years ago. We’re moving backwards! People can’t afford to rent/buy homes, the environment is burning to the ground, food is expensive, education is not only expensive but apparently wrong now too? I mean, how did we get here? We were all tricked into thinking Obama becoming president meant the country was moving away from it’s ugly, racial, past. We got lazy. Then Trump gets elected and it all came rushing back x10. Now we’re back to making progress again? The ultra rich have the government under their control and we’re all just here for their entertainment. We fight against each other for basic scraps when it comes to human decency and for what? We need sustained, positive change that lasts longer than 1-2 presidential elections and we need it now. Trump may be an idiot, but plenty of wanna-be fascists saw his mistakes and will learn from them. The next time we get a Trump 2.0, democracy will die. We cannot afford that to happen, which is why I said we are walking a fine line between democracy and fascism. And until we get actual progressive movements that last, I don’t see our government doing us any good.
the only thing i'd argue with is the outlook.. it might not be so grim, just because there is a ton of really easy work out there for aspiring young lawyers. lots of really simple corruption to prosecute and make heroes of an entire generation of Bobby Kennedys.. in the Supreme Court itself no less.. talk about a chance to make your name.. eager young attorneys live for that kind of shit.. we'll see..
Every complaint is a confession. You can literally just start with every political complaint that gets Fox in a tizzy or that gets shouted from congressional podiums and use that to start a criminal investigation into the people and organizations backing the complaint. You should be able to generate a lot of cases like that.
After which of course you’ll be ordered to shut down the investigation.
The New York field office was involved in leaks that lead up to the Comey memo during the 2016 election. After the Anthony Weiner laptop was found, they started giving interviews hinting that Hillary was going to be under investigation again. Comey's memo was supposed to clear that up, but instead it just muddied the waters more. They got their wish, of course. Hillary lost her sizeable lead, which given the unfair Electoral College system ultimately meant a loss.
True. Possible that the victim’s lawyers wanted to wait until the formal guilty verdict before bringing a civil action, or merely use the guilty verdict as a negotiation tactic at the bargaining table.
yeah this will get the rats stirring.. there is a lot of corruption born during Trump that's still trying to hide and survive.. stuff like this gets them running around..
The lawsuit claims that Dr. St. Julian did not tell Ross and her family about the decapitation when she spoke to them at approximately 5 a.m. July 10. The lawsuit also claims that the hospital discouraged Ross and the baby’s father, Treveon Taylor, from seeking an autopsy, saying a free autopsy was not an option for them under the circumstances. Instead, they reportedly encouraged the couple to have their son cremated instead of being sent to a funeral home.
Wow. Shit can happen in medicine but that coverup seems worse than the already terrible situation.
At approximately 8:40 p.m., Ross was fully dilated and instructed to begin pushing. The complaint says the baby stopped descending due to shoulder dystocia while being delivered vaginally and Dr. Tracey St. Julian, M.D., reportedly attempted to deliver the baby vaginally using different methods, including applying traction to the baby's head.
Dr. St. Julian reportedly decided to perform a STAT Cesarean section at approximately 11:49 p.m. The baby's body and legs were delivered at 12:11 a.m. and the baby's head was delivered vaginally.
😱
Traction = pulling on the head. Sounds like they pulled the baby's head off trying to get it unstuck, or it happened during the C-section. Either way, totally horrific. I wonder how common this sort of thing is?
When, Ross and Taylor demanded to see and hold their child, the baby was reportedly tightly wrapped in a blanket with his head "propped on top of his body" to conceal the fact that he was decapitated.
What in the actual fuck. There is something called "internal decapitation" where you rip the skull off the spine but the skin and muscles stay intact. You're still almost certainly dead, but I assumed that's what this was. It would take a lot of force but not as much as it would to rip the whole fucking thing off.
I have seen some shit, and this story is making me sick.
Ionia County Judge Ray Voet said the accident was a “horrible tragedy” but didn’t warrant jail or probation for Darin Wilbur, WOOD-TV reported.
…
“Two months later, we wouldn’t even be here,” the judge said, noting that the teen soon would have turned 18 years old.
“Ionia County is a farming county, and I know a lot of people in this county view children working, sometimes around dangerous machinery, as part of growing up,” Voet said.
I think it has more to do with minors operating machinery in the workplace. If he was 18 it’s “just” a horrible workplace accident. But since he was 17, it was illegal for the company to have him operate that piece of equipment and that’s why they were in court over it.
