He is going to be tried by the federal government for the crimes they do have jurisdiction for (still facing a life sentence).

And after that, he is going to be tried by the New York AG for murder, even while he's locked in federal prison for the first set of crimes (stalking, etc.).

People are reading this headline thinking it means he's not going to be jailed for life due to murdering the CEO.

It's only that the federal government can't try him for murder, because his crime doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government.

On a night of life-threatening cold, a homeless person entered a Lansing bus station seeking refuge from the freezing temperatures.

Video shows police slamming them to the ground and pinning them with knees on their neck as they plead, "I'm here because it's cold outside, and I have nowhere to go."

I know members of the U.S. House of Representatives who have been kept in the dark from these deals as they are done out of the public eye. It’s as undemocratic a process as I’ve ever seen.

Today is Fred Korematsu Day so it seems appropriate to remind everyone that putting people in concentration camps based on their ethnicity and nationality is wrong and whatever you convict you of today they will be wrong always.

They want to ethnically, religiously, and patriarchally cleanse this country of all dissenters from their fever dream. We should be acting with nothing less than unified, active opposition to this murderous campaign.

This part makes me so angry.

Why do they think these journalists are forced out of their media institutions in the first place???

The lack of context is intentional and complicit.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

A fantastic read from @sarahjeong.bsky.social on what it's like to be gassed and the violence in the streets right now. On a meta level, I also love the framing; the title and card make it look like just another product buying guide, but it is very much not that.
