At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.

One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.

She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.

The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.

He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.

His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.

He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.

Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.

In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.

It was her.

She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”

Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.

On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.

Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.

In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.

10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.

A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”

It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.

He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.

She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.

What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?

@Plaid @bot these all open in X and none of my accounts are connected. Pressing forward it offers to open the app, but then opens apple’s store that I can’t open and have it track this account. How do I open these links to the app, or to my browser where I can easily add to my lists?

Pathetic, and very patronising, by @AbdulElSayed . He should show more respect to the UK and one of our best journalists.

Texas = soon to be a sanctuary state.

Ugh.

Gina Hinojosa has committed to three core priorities: save public schools (fire TEA Commissioner Mike Morath on day one and appoint an educator; end STAAR and pause A-F ratings; end the voucher program; return taken-over districts to local control; audit vendor contracts to fund higher teacher pay), put money in Texans’ pockets ($1,500 one-time household refund from the Rainy Day Fund; freeze residential electricity rates; suspend the gas tax; curb private-equity home buys and grocery price gouging), and end data-center tax breaks plus no-bid contracts.

As governor-elect she can execute the Morath firing and some regulatory steps immediately. Most funding, voucher, and tax changes require the Legislature, so full delivery depends on negotiations with a likely GOP majority.

@GinaHinojosaTX @grok what has @GinaHinojosaTX committed to do when in office? And what are the odds she’ll actually do it?

This is quite simply brilliant.

Palmer Luckey says analysts claiming it's too expensive to manufacture in the US are lying to protect megacorps

"I think I have a more realistic view than almost anybody. One of the problems with all these analysts that are telling you that it's going to cost $37,000 to build an American iPhone or $100,000 to buy an American computer."

"They're trying to prop up a status quo that the megacorporations want to keep going. They want to outsource everything. They want to hire cheaper non-American labor."

"They are willing to say and do anything to convince you that it can't be fixed, that it can't come back, that America is this helpless, neutered, post-relevant empire, and it is just not the case."

"How do I know that? Because I have to make stuff in America every day because I work in the defense industry. The stuff that Anduril makes every day is not actually that different from a computer. My drones are basically computers. They have memory, a GPU, a CPU, sensors, batteries, a rugged integration."

"The only difference between an Anduril attack drone and a laptop is a keyboard and a screen. That is not that hard to figure out, especially for a guy like me who started Oculus and comes from the consumer electronics space."

"We're not going to let people lie about what America can and can't do anymore. We're just going to do it."

Ben Affleck Clashes With Bill Maher and Sam Harris Over Whether Criticizing Islamic Beliefs Is Islamophobia and racicm

Sam Harris: “Liberals have failed us. We have been sold this meme of Islamophobia where every criticism of the doctrine of Islam gets conflated with bigotry toward Muslims as people.”

Ben Affleck: “Are you the person who understands the officially codified doctrine of Islam? You're the interpreter of that?”

Sam Harris: “I'm actually well educated on this topic.”

Ben Affleck: “Well, it's not a real thing when we do it.”

Sam Harris: “We have to be able to criticize bad ideas.”

Bill Maher: “Because it's gross. It's racist.”

Ben Affleck: “You're not listening to what we are saying. You guys are saying, if you want to be liberals, believe in liberal principles like freedom of speech… all men are created equal.”

Sam Harris: “Islamism is the motherlode of bad ideas.”

Ben Affleck: “Or how about more than a billion people who aren't fanatical, who don't punch women, who just want to go to the store?”

Bill Maher: “All these billion people don't hold any of those—”

Sam Harris: “Don't hold these pernicious beliefs? I would—”

Bill Maher: “That's just not true, Ben.”

It is hard to believe this is real. A housing authority in the UK telling residents to make way for asylum seekers. Advising them to keep their daughters and their pets locked up inside! Telling them their daughters need to dress modestly with shoulders covered if they do go outside. Are these people completely insane? This is outrageous. This woman is rightly furious. But who put these people in charge? This is why local elections matter - why ALL elections matter.

Aaron Rodgers called out the league office from Paris. Cam Skattebo just finished the sentence in Houston.

​"The NFL loves to post me when I do stuff like that, but then also wants to take stuff from me... If I continue to get fined, guess I’m going to play for free."

​In one sentence, a young running back exposed the entire corporate racket:

​The league's marketing arm chops up punishing, violent hits to harvest tens of millions of views on social media and sell primetime ad slots.

Then on Monday morning, Park Avenue sends down a five-figure fine to penalize the very product they just monetized.

​They want the barbaric violence for their highlight reels, but moral cover on their balance sheet.

​Rodgers doesn't care about fines because he's made hundreds of millions. Skattebo is speaking for the guys who take the physical toll while the front office cashes checks on both ends.

This woman is a menace. She does not want to be peacefully raped by Muslim men. Islamophobia must be eradicated. - @PatinkinMandy

🚨BREAKING🚨

My house was raided yesterday morning at 5.30am by Greater Manchester Police, one uniformed officer and three from CID, with a live arrest warrant out for me.

This is in relation to the attacks on migrant HMOs across Salford.
Absolute nonsense.
All I’ve done is report what’s happening in our communities using public council information and refused to condemn our own people.

I expect to be arrested in the next day or two.
I’ll keep you updated.

This is a stitch-up for telling the truth.

Never surrender 💪🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
