@MichaelTB63@ThePujaTeli@SydneyLWatson Assuming that is true (and also seeds go *into* the ground, they don't come out of it any more than leaves do), you would surely be including *salt* which is literally mined from the earth.
Simply put: The Cooper Davis Act would allow the DEA to compel private companies hand over massive amounts of our personal data โ without ever obtaining a warrant.
The Senate must not pass this bill. https://t.co/4R8W3l8bLg
Cannot overstate the damage of this ruling. Itโs often impossible for attorneys to visit their clients detained pretrial. Certainly as often as they need to. Higher the case load; greater challenge. Phone calls/video calls are the only way. Georgia just effectively outlawed them.
@ribbonknight IT TURNS OUT WATCHING IT IN A THEATER WITH CHILDREN IS ALSO EXHAUSTING. Like, parents just left their kids there and went shopping? And someone behind me was loudly explaining all of the Easter eggs/references. It was great on the big screen but I will also enjoy it at home.
@jduffyrice @amyep9@tonyschram2 There IS a PD in My Cousin Vinny and it is not a flattering portrayal. It's a great movie, but a terrible introduction to PDs.
My newest op-ed is out. In it, I crunched some numbers. We hear all the time from police & prosecutors about "felony arrests" to get harsher policies passed. But what actually happens to felony arrests?
Over 80% of them are dismissed. A thread w/ facts: https://t.co/WWLMXxOm50
There's some research to suggest that people who are incrediblity rigid about other people following rules are often more likely to break those rules themselves.
You see it most when tough on crime folks suddenly want the state to ignore the text of the law and relent.
'Hazard' ultimately comes from the Arabic 'al-zahr' which meant "a die."
Players would roll the dice and bet on the outcome.
English got the word from French, and in English 'hazard' eventually came to refer to any chance, risk, or source of danger.
@Prison_Health Hi, I am a public defender in Hawaii. There is another side of this coin, that we have many mentally ill homeless clients here who would like to return to their families on the mainland and cannot afford to do so. Our MH resources are very limited, especially on the Big Island.
Hawaii-backed plan to provide $100,000/yr to send homeless people back to the mainland belies the persistent urban legend that Hawaii's homeless population is driven by govts on the mainland that send their homeless people to the islands https://t.co/hIU0F1O1rk
