DOWN WITH REPOSTS

Secretary Nielsen privately told lawmakers the Administration may go back to separating children from their parents. Congress must ensure that NEVER happens. I'm urging the House Appropriations Committee to prevent funds from ever being used to separate families entering the US:

@Unionhawk I suspect nothing at all will change

@TimStone I'm not hugely surprised. IT was probably a lot of time and money to get this all setup, and I don't the network wants to lose out on the investment and any potential revenue.

Honestly if Roseanne has nothing to benefit from it I think it's fine. I don't think it's fair for the other folks involved in the show to be punished for her actions

mmm the outcome makes sense to me? I guess I'll have to read the dissent

tl;dr guy was indicted for burglary, grand larceny, and felon-in-possession (of a firearm). He and the government agreed to split the first two into one case and the possession charge into another. He was acquitted in the first case and then tried to say the second case was Double Jeopardy

God I hate everything

@TimStone Two other decisions announced but I don't know what the cases are about really. Both decided 7-2

@TimStone AFAIK, DJ means you can't be trialed twice for the same crime. However, this was 2 trials.

The argument was that it was stemming from the same offense so it counts but he agreed to the separation of trials and it feels like a lot of "technically" playing with what "same offense" means

Especially considering it was burglary and not, say, armed robbery, which at least would have been related to his possession of a gun

Oh snap, we have the Carpenter decision too

5-4, with Roberts joining the more liberal justices

SCOTUS upholds that cell-site records examinations are a 4th Amendment search, and thus generally require a warrant

Ah, I see Fox & Friends went full "I mean sure but they're not our kids"

2:48 PM

@GodEmperorDune ooo nice

@TimStone i dunno why this was only 5-4 then

Alright fine I'll read the dissents. It's probably something about him having to pick between splitting the cases and not splitting the cases

Ohhhhh

I see

It turns out that the state of Virginia is, in fact, dumb as hell

The felon-in-possession charge stems from the fact that the safe he would have been considered to have stolen pursuant to the first case contained guns which he probably would have handled in the act of removing the money and then throwing the safe into a river, still with the guns

@TimStone wait so it's like "more charges because the thing you stole were guns and you touched them?"

Yes but it gets dumber

The guy who was identified as the suspect is the victim's nephew and he implicated Carpenter as an accomplice

fuckin YO

@Unionhawk Excuse me this is old news sir

@TimStone With this in mind I get the dissent, not sure how I feel about the ruling. As a general matter of course it makes sense, but this particular instance is really, really stupid

@TimStone weird compromise on that

as always

@GodEmperorDune this is obviously the apps fault

3:11 PM

only talk in person in noisy environments is the opsec choice

@GodEmperorDune Afaik signal is still fine? But don't use the macos app?

They do have a bunch of manafort signal stuff but from what I understand that's because someone on the other end turned them over

also set up fake lines of communication just to red herring the cops

and end-to-end encryption without disappearing messages can only get you so far

given that it's only encrypted on the trip

DSA opsec training seminars, but 100% unironically

@GodEmperorDune It's not surprising in the sense that I guess they're trying to not overdecide the case, but

@Unionhawk It would seem so, but at least that requires them to have some foresight. They can't, say, retroactively find out who was at a protest

@TimStone even if they go the next day (or any time within the 7 days limit?)

Bitterness from me incoming

> despite recent scandals that appear to fly in the face of evangelicals’ values.

@puzzlepiece87 tl;dr: its the racism

Oh you mean like literally everything since 2016?

@GodEmperorDune Yes exactly, thanks for the tl;dr and I'll be writing the long-form rage now :D

> Another Pew survey, conducted last year, found that while majorities of nearly every religious group agree that immigrants strengthen our country, white evangelical Protestants are more divided, with a plurality (44 percent) saying that immigrants are a burden.

not sure how much it's the trump admin's dehumanizing vs how much brown immigrants were already dehumanzed to ths group of people

Obviously want everyone to be as grey and shrinking population as you, evangelicals

> several prominent evangelicals have emphasized the need to obey the law and defer to the president’s authority

Love too be obvious authoritarians and claim to help Jesus/save Jews etc. at the same time

Love too take hypocrisy to the max

> Partisanship and racial anxieties are also likely playing a role

You mean the absolutely dominant role? That kind of role?

Done

And to be clear, I completely support 538 in writing this "reasons behind the numbers" style of article.

My rage is 100% towards white evangelicals for being completely full of shit.

Everyone just needs to get in the sea and evolution can try again in a few million years.

3:35 PM

(I'm Christian and am fed up with the way that they influence my church. I'm fed up with the way they strongly reaffirm that (regardless of anyone's beliefs about whether God actually exists or not) Christians now and throughout history - even if changed positively on the level of some individuals - are overall dominated by their innate humanity and acting just as shitty as everyone else.)

We're supposed to be testifying to the strength of God through the way we act, but anyone looking at all the evidence would find it VERY hard to find any such affirmation in total Christian behavior.

Such a turnoff.

@TimStone I'm trying to find what specifically in rule 17 (decorum and debate) they are talking about

I'm not sure, I didn't see what happened beforehand so it could be a number of dumb things

She seemed to imply playing a recording wasn't acceptable but I don't see that actually mentioned anywhere, unless they voted on an objection to the use of an exhibit

Report: $657 million needed to end homelessness in LA https://abc7.la/2thfV2o

Tweeted by ABC7 on June 22, 2018 at 2:23 AM

(this is less than the LAPD's budget of one billion dollars)

I'm not sure $657 million is a staggering cost to fix homelessness.

in LA

listen it's not like we can just give people houses and solve homelessness, that'd be too easy

it's not that simple

@Unionhawk That's all?

I mean where would you even get six hundred million dollars in LA

that's a big number

7:36 PM

A small town like Los Angeles just doesn't have that kind of money.

I mean who would you get it from? AirBnB for taking apartments out of the regular rental pool and who claim to not be a hotel service and not subject to hotel taxes? Of course not. Big companies? No.

It's just

a hard problem to solve

(actually I'm pretty sure someone levies hotel tax against AirBnB and it might be LA)

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk there are cases where it's not that simpel, mental health issues and such

check this out

what if

we also addressed that

like say hire social workers to serve the public, especially the most vulnerable public

like, perhaps, at a library

(this is part of our upcoming proposal to the library board lol)

Kevin van der Velden

I'm just saying that we can't help 100% of people (but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try)

@KevinvanderVelden That's not in disagreement with what @Unionhawk's saying

7:41 PM

The problem of "some people do not have shelter" is solved by "give people shelter" though

Kevin van der Velden

@puzzlepiece87 I'm saying that some people actively refuse shelter, and we don't know how to help them

Trump autographed photos of people murdered by undocumented immigrants

@KevinvanderVelden Right, but I think that's off-topic in some ways

People actively refuse shelter for reasons other than mental health. Sometimes, those reasons are "don't want to be caught up in immigration", especially in a city like LA.

What I understood Uni's topic to be was "an affordable amount of money could substantially end LA homelessness right now"

What I understand you to be saying is "there might still be people on the street"

To which my reaction is, "... and?"

As long as everyone who wants shelter has it, I'm really pleased it would be affordable

user15026

7:44 PM

@Unionhawk It is, but also...just because you can give it, doesn't mean it will solve all of the cases, which is what @KevinvanderVelden is pointing out. No one is saying "don't do it", its more "this will not solve 100% of the cases"

(I've been involved with homelessness in my region and know the solution here is also affordable)

Kevin van der Velden

What Ash said ^

I'm still seeing that as off-topic, but it's fine

Kevin van der Velden

For a lot of people you'd need to first try to address the underlying problem. For those that got tossed out because #capitalism getting them a house is probably sufficient, but that's not all people

"Substantial problem can be affordably solved" "Well technically non-problematic subgroup B would not be served by this solution" "... Okay"

7:46 PM

I think some people are assuming that this would be the only step taken towards solving homelessness.

Which is definitely a problem if that ends up to be the case.

Plus, Uni had the more constructive response than me, he replied with the obvious and positive "we could do those situations too"

The US does have a history of "woo, we did it, pat ourselves on the back and let's go home" when it comes to problem-solving.

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuuki I mean, we are talking about a study that only addressed the "give houses to people" sooo

@Yuuki Depends on how you define problem, honestly. This would be way more than has been done on a wide-scale basis ~~ever in the US~~ that I know about in the US.

We'd be substantially better off than before even if that's where things stopped.

It's like how we don't focus on minor issues in a speaker's message in favor of focusing on the larger message

Not sure how "well actually a few people would not be served by this" takes away from "we could help a lot of people with capitalism problems this way"

~~But anyway I'll stop now because I'm probably way over-interpreting~~ one more thing, better analogy:

It would be like interrupting an m4a speech to point out that Medicare doesn't cover all care a person could need.

Like, yes, but,,,,

Kevin van der Velden

It's not, because there's no speech going on

7:51 PM

And again, Uni's response would be way more constructive, he would just say "let's cover that too"

@Ash I'm partially skeptical, but fairly on board with this. Ultimately though, I think it's far closer to this simple than a lot of your policy wonk type people believe

partially because most of them take a couple steps back and end up at "better skills for better jobs" or something

@KevinvanderVelden I overinterpreted, you are right. My bad.

like no what about if we met people's needs though

@Unionhawk thats not how we do things in america

@Unionhawk What about the needs of bootstraps salesmen?

So that when you drop them on the floor they'll be dented and ~~not~~ also the floor?

@puzzlepiece87 "Liter of gold? I don't even know her."

45 pound dumbbells, not bad honestly

@GodEmperorDune He's only middle-aged by elven lifespans.

@puzzlepiece87 he always seemed more of a pixie elf than a tolkien elf

@GodEmperorDune I thought it was known he's a Keebler elf?

So that Dem NJ candidate's grandmother said some racist things about Koreans the other week so naturally a Republican candidate was like "hold my beer"
