Pardoned Capitol rioter charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries at NYC event this week
A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill the top House Democrat.
This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Screen shot of scitech website with their logo at top and text that reads:
"More Information
Through the support of Woodside, this program is provided for free* over the course of a Term to select schools, and is available for delivery to primary schools in the Perth metro region. Schools will need to provide a staff member to enthusiastically support the program.
*A $500 refundable deposit is required for delivery of this program."
Last line is struck out in red pen replaced with the text:
"* Program provided at no charge in exchange for promoting climate criminal Woodside. Cost to students includes the loss of a liveable planet."
Scitech (WA Science Museum) is sponsored by a few fossil fuel companies. Including Woodside who provide "free" access to STEM club for kids.
Free = access to educational opportunities in exchange for promoting Woodside. The cost to students is the loss of a liveable planet.
Good deal kids?

What has Yvette Cooperβs proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. Itβs extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
