X post: A Man, 18 from Oklahoma, Jesse Mack Butler, was initially charged with multiple serious offenses including a**ault and ab*se of two girls, 16. After facing a potential 78-year sentence, he entered a plea deal that changed his status to that of a youthful offender and resulted in a term of rehabilitation and community service instead of prison time. Victims and lawmakers have loudly condemned the outcome, saying it amounts to a failure of justice and puts future survivors at risk. One parent said the punishment is simply “not equivalent to what he did to them.” The shift from adult charges to a youthful offender status has become central to the outrage. Credit: @lawandcrime

But pls tell me more about how our justice system is fair & not racist

Community Note strikes again!

I resemble that remark.

There's an episode in Blackadder 3 where Edmond uses made-up words to convince Samual Johnson that he's missed stuff from his dictionary. I have been using these same words in work meetings and reports for decades without ever being challenged on their authenticity.

Tell Congress to Impeach Trump Contact Congress today!

It’s pretty bad when the only person praising your military doctrine is Vladimir Putin.

Let’s impeach this fascist dictator before it’s too late for American democracy!

In two days, hundreds of thousands of teens will be cut off from the friends, groups and communities on social media.

From homeschooling meetups to buying used bikes, here's what teens say they're going to lose, in their own words.

You may ask yourself, "Why am I in this House?"
You may ask yourself, "Where did my career go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I a nong?"
And you may say to yourself, "One Nation? What have I done?!"

Schiff: "I think that all of these strikes are unlawful. They are a form of extrajudicial killing. These boats are not invading the US in an armed assault ... the fact the administration may put a group of organizations on a list doesn't confer on a president the ability to kill them at sea."

ABC News headline: Anika Wells's taxpayer-funded Thredbo ski trip a costly distraction for Labor.

AUS politicians have so many perks & entitlements "within the guidelines". They know they don't pass the pub test; they just hope the opposing party and a complicit media don't make it a story. Imagine if a PM told all his MPs to stop milking the system. Note: Anika Wells' salary is $403,064 #auspol

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

Ancient Egyptian pleasure boat found by archaeologists off Alexandria coast First-century luxury vessel matches description by the Greek historian Strabo, who visited city around 29-25BC An ancient Egyptian pleasure boat that matches a description by the first-century Greek historian Strabo has been discovered off the coast of Alexandria, to the excitement of archaeologists.

Great to see something written about this by an actual teenager.

And this 15yo makes so many good points.

"If tech companies have the capability to delete accounts for people under the age of 16, they also have the capability to delete accounts that bully, harass or cause harm."

There's a YT channel called Mr M History that focuses on the history of Oz politics. It should be more popular - if you are someone who knows more than the average about Oz politics and is curious to know more, but aren't "in the system" to nitpick, give it a rip. www.youtube.com/@Mr_M_History
