so what is the point where you go from being able to jump into a body of water w/o hurting yourself and where you break bones just by hitting the water? I’ve been told jumping from great heights into the water is like hitting concrete.
A dead man switch is easier to pull off today than ever before. Why has no one ever use one? Are there any examples?
The thing that brings this to mind is Alan Dershowitz being absolutely 100% confident he knows names and details of clients from the Epstein list. But he won't say because he has an order from a Judge. He's 86. If this man doesn't dump every name upon his death bed I'm going to be really pissed.
sorta what I was thinking. In fact, I’d go one further. Being that he is 86, what TF does he have to lose by spilling it now? Some judge ordered him to stay quiet. Big deal. Because we know how well those orders work on other things. He ought to just come clean.

Word on the street is that the Land Trust which was concerned about The Dollar General situation, heard about our efforts to repopulate the fields with Bobwhite Quail, as well as our wildlife friendly preservation of a major Whitetail Deer trail and our conservation minded tree planting of American Chestnut and American Elm and that moved the vote to acquire the property.
Sometimes doing the right thing pays off in the end.
The Dollar General that was in the works for going up next to my orchard-homestead is no longer in play.
Instead the local Land Trust is buying the fields beside and out behind my orchard-homestead and those fields are going to remain undeveloped as a nature preserve.
Furthermore on the other side of my orchard-homestead, the neighbor who sold the above property to the Land Trust, has secured a tax easement from the state for a good portion of his remaining property to remain undeveloped.
Now my neighbor and I are completely surrounded by nature preserves.
I cant see my neighbor, but I can sometimes hear a loud noise from over that way. There are thick woods between us in a low area that is often water logged.

Any agency or funding being cut by Trump and Republicans will never be reinstated by Democrats. Nor will Democrats ever abolish ICE or DHS. Not unless the party is completely changed from the ground up. But there will always be infinite money for cops, the military, and Israel.
Democrats are polling badly because they're obviously comfortable if not complicit with what the regime is doing, which is why the midterms will probably be a disaster that further entrenches Republican control, even assuming fair elections.
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ — In what political experts said was a bold move to reach across ideological boundaries, President Donald Trump honored the gay community by attending a soccer match.

Weird how Liberals act like they're so very concerned about misinformation, yet here we have Mark Carney peddling discredited carbon capture technology as a way to produce “decarbonized” oil.
I think Ottawa politicians are getting nervous that the crazies pushing the reichwing Alberta independence movement might just pull it off. (Think Brexit). As always, politicians resort to misinformation to battle the other sides misinformation.
Alberta politicians, "Ottawa will end the tar sands economic boom because of those nasty environmentalist. Trump can save us."
Ottawa, "The sludge will continue to flow, but environmentalist need not worry due to carbon capture."

I have just read the following from a friend in Wales. Sue, a veteran of Greenham Common, is in her late 70s & in poor health; & yet has been subject to arrest & imposition of unreasonable bail conditions, while her partner was subject to a raid on their home by police at 3am.
Her crime? To protest peacefully in defence of the right to protest.

(AP) — The Trump administration on Monday took another step to make it harder to find major, legally mandated scientific assessments of how climate change is endangering the nation and its people. kob.com/ap-top-news/trump-admi…
The Trump administration has made it harder for people, local and state governments to find critical climate change reports. On Monday, NASA announced it would not host the National Climate Assessments, reversing earlier plans.
The majority of sitting justices on the U.S. Supreme Court have, once again, greenlit wholly unconstitutional action by the Trump regime. In a shadow docket order, the court has lifted a stay preventing the regime from acting on Trump’s executive order to gut the staff of the Dept of Education so that it becomes de facto defunct. 1/ #LawFedi
Case is McMahon v. New York. Sotomayor has written a dissent from the majority’s order. Kagan and Jackson join in the dissent. Once again, Sotomayor is the voice of actual respect for and fidelity to U.S. constitutionalism. 2/
In her introduction to her opinion, Sotomayor writes: “When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” The majority’s order permits the “Government to proceed with dismantling the Department [of Education.]. That decision is indefensible.” 3/
As Sotomayor explains, Congress, using its rightful constitutional authority, created the Dept of Education with a set of statutes.The majority’s order today “hands the Executive the power to repeal statutes by firing all those necessary to carry them out.” 4/
Congress assigned the Dept of Education a wide range of responsibilities, including investing in higher education, work-study programs, and K - 12 education; also in ensuring equal access to education. Presidents Clinton and Carter invested heavily in Dept of Education; Reagan submitted a proposal to Congress that would have abolished it. But even Reagan never presumed he had “unilateral authority to eradicate a Department that Congress has tasked with fulfilling statutory duties.” 5/
Trump ran on an announced intention to close the Department of Education without Congressional involvement. He directed McMahon to put herself out of a job. McMahon fired 50% of the workforce, calling these firings “the first step on the road to a total shutdown” as directed by the President. In March 2025, Trump issued a formal executive order titled “Closing the Department of Education and Returning Authority to the States.” 6/
20 states and D.C. sued to stop these unilateral executive actions, arguing that the Trump regime was ignoring the constitutional obligation the executive branch has to “take care” the laws are enforced, including laws creating federal agencies a President doesn’t favor. 7/
The federal District Court, later upheld by a federal appellate court, stayed executive actions gutting the Dept while the case over the lawfulness of Trump’s orders and McMahon’s decrees was litigated. The District Court flatly found ‘“the record abundantly reveals that Defendants’ true intention is to effectively dismantle the Department without an authorizing statute,” and that the terminations would prevent the Department from “carry[ing] out its statutory functions.”’ 8/
In its appeal to the Supreme Court, the Trump regime still did not present any evidence that it was not acting so as to abolish the Department of Education without Congressional involvement. The regime instead requested an emergency dissolution of the stay on its conduct, offering what Sotomayor calls “a grab bag of jurisdictional and remedial arguments.” 10/
Sotomayor crisply and correctly refutes each of the Trump regime’s claims and the reasoning for each. She applies relevant precedent on temporary injunctions to conclude that the one issued by the District Court was legally warranted and should not be disturbed. 11/
In conclusion, Sotomayor reiterates: “The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them. That basic rule undergirds our Constitution’s separation of powers.” She correctly states, “Yet today, the majority rewards clear defiance of that core principle with emergency relief.“ 12/
Sotomayor has categorically said what needed saying: Trump said he was going to violate the Constitution, he did so in precisely the way he said he would, and the majority of the current Supreme Court has explicitly allowed it. 13/13
Every bit of news from the Supreme Court feels like a gut bunch. Who needs to worry about techbros fighting to replace the administrative state with a network state when the 6 conservatives on the court are fully committed to gutting the federal govt? "Who cares," they're probably thinking. We can still afford to send our children to exclusive academies and conservative parochial schools and we deserve to have this subsidized by working people trying to make ends meet.
The decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to lift the stay on Trump’s executive order, allowing the drastic changes to the Department of Education, raises significant concerns about the balance of powers and the potential long-term impact on public education. The move has been criticized by many as an overreach of executive power and a direct threat to the department's ability to function effectively.
Every #MAGASupremeCourt session should be live and on TV. No hiding in the shadow(s) dockets. This is my wish along with additional justices and ending lifetime appointments for them and EVERYONE.
It surely doesn't happen every so often, that an allegedly "duly elected" administration deliberately engages in the overthrow of the U.S. government & the state's constitutional order, aided & abetted by highest members of the judicial branch. It shouldn't happen even once, and members of the executive branch should think carefully about not being part of that attempted overthrow — because none of such illegal regimes ever lasted forever. Hitler's didn't. Stalin's didn't. Pol Pot's didn't. Saddam's didn't. Gaddafi's didn't. Al Assad's didn't. Not even Putin's will. Nor will Trump's puppeteers'.
Let’s be clear: this Court isn’t defending the Constitution — it’s dismantling it to serve an authoritarian cult. If they won’t do their jobs, maybe it’s time we revisit how justices get to keep theirs. #CourtReformNow

Palestine Action's request for temporary relief from the government's high-profile terrorist designation drew the author to an all-too familiar London court earlier this month. Part 1 of 2 articles.

!["Bear with me dear friends, this is lengthy. But do read it if you are concerned about human rights and the direction of travel of this UK government. Or indeed, about crimes against humanity and genocide.
At the weekend I made a considered decision to join a silent, peaceful, sitting protest in Cardiff, in support of the campaign to de-proscribe Palestine Action. Most of you will be aware that this protest group was recently proscribed under the Terrorism Act, despite being non-violent. Members have been accused of damaging property (in Britain) which is involved in Israel's genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Similar peaceful protests took place in London and Manchester. The police responses were different and in South Wales were much more draconian than elsewhere. I was held for over 30 hours and am now bailed on condition I do not stay away from home overnight, till October. Or go to Cardiff. Plus other things. Our house - and Alan in it - was raided by police at 3.00 am while I was still in a police cell.
My decision to protest was made primarily in defense of the right to protest, especially about Gaza . I knew that the Terrorism Act was powerful and punitive and I believed - and still believe - that using it against a non-violent protest group was a chilling step in the wrong direction. Hence the campaign to de-proscribe it. This is legal.
