@NorthIdahoNews1 The city council should reconsider this decision and fast. No time to do much else before 2027.

Eventually the Covid shots will be pulled off the market based on data like this, and the Covidians will see the light. But there’s a long row to hoe before we get there.

@TuckerPoodleMA Proper response to such a visit: Get a warrant.

@brotherdarul @OrinKerr @ASFleischman No thanks. Retired and zero interest in returning to work as a lawyer!

@scottdelaney98 @HarmeetKDhillon Law schools that give credit for internships and judicial externships can properly prepare the law student who takes advantage of those opportunities. But you’re right that the standard curriculum falls short when it comes to preparing a law student for the legal profession.

@brotherdarul @OrinKerr @ASFleischman Can’t imagine a more boring legal practice.

@birdsrnotreal2 @MaryBowdenMD Not necessarily. One of my hens lays eggs that have orange yolks just from their feed. Others from dark green leafy veggies.

@TuckerPoodleMA So sorry. I’ve lost 2 of my first ever flock and don’t know the reason, and bawled each time. Dread losing a favorite. Livestock or not, when you love and care for your animals the loss is hard.

@LouisTheFilth @catturd2 Goid for you. I already fled CA for Idaho. No regrets.

[LibertyChoco @LibertyChoco]

@NabellaNutella @catturd2 Really? A red state wouldn’t want committed conservatives fleeing a blue state for freedom?

[LibertyChoco @LibertyChoco]

@LouisTheFilth @catturd2 BS. It takes a lot of courage to uproot yourself from one state and build a new life in another. When you realize the fight is over why remain a subject under tyranny?

@jeznar88 @Raul_Labrador But not bodily autonomy for the unborn. Got it.

I avoided commenting on the Lindsay Clancy trial because its nuanced and emotional but the implications are enormous so I am going to say something now. A lot of people are calling that one juror who wouldn't join the other eleven irrational. But, that juror is probably the only one asking the right questions imo: where is the evidence that she lacked the capacity to know it was wrong or to stop herself? And, maybe, where do we draw the line on what an ostensibly insane person is allowed to do when the doubt the defense manufactured rests on nothing in the record before the killings? It seems that the entirety of the defense position rests on improbable probabilities and that's a low bar for such a heinous act.

1. Postpartum psychosis is rare, and almost always happens in the first 4 weeks. The idea that some psychiatrists extend the postpartum window to a year is true, but for depression and anxiety. The evidence isn't strong for psychosis, and its latching on to improbability

2. The strongest risk factor for postpartum psychosis is preexisting bipolar disorder or a prior psychotic episode. She had neither before her third child. The real time evidence from her doctors/providers indicate this. The bipolar label that showed up was after significant polypharmacy, and any good psychiatrist will tell you that you cannot diagnose primary disease when multiple drugs could be offending agents. Drug-induced psychosis would show better temporal correlations with her medications and should be a mitigation argument at sentencing. Again, very improbable alignment

3. The proxy for intent is planning, and she clearly planned... she sent her husband to some restaurant they don't normally go to, checked the drive time, texted a specific order at 5:07 pm... she killed her children in sequence. That's demonstrating real time decision making. I don't understand how they circumvented this. Again, very improbable that she was able to make decisions up until it becomes a liability

4. This idea of a "voice" that commanded her is so post-hoc as a defense. The ltierature on command hallucinations show most people don't obey them and the compliance occurs when the voice is familiar. This was a first time voice she only ever reported 2 weeks after killing her kids. And this first time voice asked her to... kill all her children AND she listened to this unfamiliar voice? Again... very improbable

The improbability is so stark that it's almost undeniably a sympathy verdict from the jurors conflated with a misunderstanding of postpartum disease. The easiest way to demonstrate this is to take a father with the same chart, months of documented depression, insomnia, suicidal ideation but no psychosis then strangles his kids after arranging for his wife to be away from the house. 100% guilty.

Everyone knows postpartum disease is real and important. Everyone knows she's sick and needed help, possibly much better management. You can even argue she is insane. What I see to be the most important is where we draw the line of what we allow under the "insanity" rule. Massachusetts forces a binary verdict of guilty or not criminally responsible but this is a case for the third that other states have and which is guilty but mentally ill. We have a responsibility to speak for the unheard voices of these children and future children and say we draw the line at murdering children.

@MehekCooke @libsoftiktok Sadly, I think the same people who support abortion are the ones now cheering Clancy. They do not value human life apparently. Sick.

@TuckerPoodleMA So sorry. We have hawks here too. Would love to let our girls free range but not at the risk of being a hawk’s dinner.

@DrSeanOMara @drawandstrike I am skeptical of thise who refer to “carbohydrates and sugar” as if sugar were not a carbohydrate. It is. And elimating all carbs pretty much means just eating meat.

@RealJamesWoods I hear there’s an opening for Press Sec.

[LibertyChoco @LibertyChoco]

@TuckerPoodleMA You’ll probably need antibiotics for that. Cat bites are nasty. Ask me how I know.
