Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

In LA last night, the woman who was filming it called it before it happened.. Poor lady was walking home and the cops wouldnt let her pass, ended up pegging her with less lethal nearly point blank.

This is a horrifying hate crime. RIP Jonathan Joss.

I also would've accepted "leopards eating faces"

This consolidated action concerns an attempt to change the rules of the game after it had been played. The court cannot countenance that strategy, see Hendon, 710 F.2d at 182; Toney, 476 F.2d at 209, which implicates the very integrity of the election and offends "the law's basic interest in finality." United States v. Fugit, 703 F.3d 248, 253 (4th Cir. 2012). Permitting parties to "upend the set rules" of an election after the election has taken place can only produce "confusion and turmoil [which] threatens to undermine public confidence in the federal courts, state agencies, and the elections themselves." Wise, 978 F.3d at 105 (Wilkinson, J., dissenting). Accordingly, the court FINDS as follows: 1. Retroactive invalidation of absentee ballots cast by overseas military and civilian voters violates those voters' substantive due process rights; 2. The cure process violates the equal protection rights of overseas military and civilian voters; and 3. The lack of any notice or opportunity for eligible voters to contest their mistaken designation as Never Residents violates procedural due process and represents an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote. Therefore, the court ORDERS that: A. The State Board SHALL NOT take any action in furtherance of the North Carolina Court of Appeals and Supreme Court's orders in Griffin v. N. Carolina State Bd. of Elections, No. COA25-181, 2025 WL 1021724 (N.C. Ct. App. Apr. 4, 2025) and Griffin v. N. Carolina State Bd. of Elections, No. 320P24-3, 2025 WL 1090903 (N.C. Apr. 11, 2025); B. The State Board SHALL certify the results of the election for Seat 6 based on the tally at the completion of the canvassing period on December 10, 2024; C. Judge Griffin's petitions for judicial review [DE 1-4; DE 1-12] are DENIED;

D. Judge Griffin's motions for injunctive relief [DE 1-5; DE 1-13] are DENIED; E. Justice Riggs' motion for injunctive relief [DE 37] is GRANTED; F. The VoteVets Action Fund Parties' motion for summary judgment [DE 86] is GRANTED 6, G. The NCDP's request for injunctive relief [DE 78] is GRANTED; H. The Conley Plaintiffs' request for a permanent injunction [DE 82] is GRANTED; I. Final judgment is ENTERED: In Griffin Il, judgment is ENTERED in favor of the State Board, Justice Riggs, and the VoteVets Action Fund Parties as to the issues identified in Findings 1, 2, and 3; ii. In NCDP, judgment is ENTERED in favor of the NCDP as to the issues identified in Findings 1, 2, and 3; and iii. In Conley, judgment is ENTERED in favor of the Conley Plaintiffs as to the issues identified in Findings 1 and 2.28 The court's order is STAYED for 7 days, so that Judge Griffin may pursue an appeal if he so chooses. SO ORDERED this 5th day of May, 2025. PaulIMin RICHARD E. MYERS II CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

BREAKING: Judge Richard Myers rules that the N.C. Supreme Court's handling of the state supreme court election violated the U.S. Constitution.

The win for Justice Riggs, a Democrat, is to be certified.

Today's ruling stayed for 7 days for Judge Griffin, a Republican, to appeal "if he so chooses."

The golden rule should be all it takes. Unfortunately the selection criteria for wealth / power discourages morality, so here we are.

They not like us.

Being into tech does not immunize you to the lures of fascism. Being a good person does.

The not like us.

Elon Musk Leaves White House But ‘His Folks Aren’t Going Anywhere,’ Says Chief Of Staff The White House said that Musk “hasn’t been here physically” lately, but that he is advising the Department of Government Efficiency over the phone.

Isn’t “hasn’t been here physically, but advising” how he runs all his companies?

At least it's not WiFi Cable.
Or Netflix Cable.

That said, the fact that there's random luck in what memes catch on doesn't mean we shouldn't try to shape cultural norms in a positive direction, and these feel like useful tools towards that end.

While the MHC framework is compelling for a backward-looking understanding of history, and might enable a good guess of what the next EVM would look like, claiming you have the next major EVM feels a bit like trying to make fetch happen.

The Model of Hierarchical Complexity is a really interesting framework, and the connection between increasing MHC levels corresponding to the historical sequence of major Effective Value Memes is worth the price of admission.

I read it on the recommendation of @moskov.goodventures.org (and maybe also @coloradotravis.bsky.social ?) IIRC in the context of understanding EA, though I'm not sure what the connection is - maybe I'll find out in book 2.

I read The Listening Society, and am still thinking about it a few weeks later; would recommend.

My initial reaction was "interesting framework/ideas; skeptical the author has the answer", but I'm now intrigued enough to read the next book and hear their case.

The cruelty is intentional.

This point should be clear to all, but goes against the (normally helpful!) presumption that most people are good, so bears repeating.

The cruelty is intentional.

Yet somehow even stupider: Brexit was legally mandated.

This is just the wims of a 78-year-old.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.

If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Pulled From the Deep: Scientists Found a ‘Lost’ Deep-Sea Mining Site off the SC Coast. What Secrets Does It Hold? Foul weather rained down as Chris Garside looked out across Charleston Harbor’s choppy waters. The British oceanographer needed to get offshore, quickly. A local fisherman stood ready to ferry him...

We tried deep-sea mining in U.S. waters already -- back in 1970 -- off the South Carolina coast.

Scientists returned to the undersea site in 2023 to see what it looked liked now. One told me: "It's like they were there yesterday."

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

Eugenics

Again, no. The Framers anticipated & feared tyranny in all its forms. What they did not anticipate was that Congress would be full of cowards who cared so little about their own power that they would let a runaway Mad King steal it without even lifting a finger to stop him.

Think those 'Abolish ICE' folks might’ve been onto something

Disappearing people.

This is not the country I grew up in–and I’m not going to let it be the country I leave to my children. I will continue speaking up because it is clear this is a constitutional crisis and being silent is being complicit.

Shrödinger's Visa

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Think you misspelled malignant.
