I used to toy with the idea that, if you only watch the first film, the Empire in Star Wars (1977) are basically Turko-Mongols in space. The imagery of an empire with its mobile base of operations deep in the void of space is Eurasian
@MikeIsaac bluesky is amazing because it took a giant group of neurotic idiots and banished them to their own platform
just need that to happen a few more times here
i remember when the first ice war refugees attempted to flee below the crust into the ocean. former academy drill teams lasered off the permafrost to make the first plunge. if only they could’ve known what lurked below. most flee to the glaciers, now…
Screenshots from the Leon County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller case search system in Florida. They show court records related to the arrest of Juan Carlos Lopez Gomez on April 16, 2025.
Here’s a breakdown of what each screenshot shows:
First Image
•Case Title: State of Florida vs. Lopez-Gomez, Juan Carlos
•Charge: “Immigration – Unauthorized Alien Enter Florida Without Inspection” under Florida Statute 811.102.1
•Judge: Lashawn Riggans
•Key Entry: On April 17, Judge Riggans found “no probable cause” for the immigration-related charge.
•Status: Case appears to be open but with no probable cause established for the charge yet.
Second Image
•Agency Involved: Florida Highway Patrol Troop H
•Arrest Date: April 16, 2025, at 4:15 PM
•Charge Description: Same — “Unauthorized Alien Enter Florida Without Inspection”
•Degree of Offense: Misdemeanor (“M”), first degree.
No plea or sentencing info is filled in yet — which makes sense since the judge already ruled there was no probable cause.
Let’s say you’re a US citizen and ICE grabs you off the street and puts you on a plane to Mongolia. Don’t you just go to your consulate, give them your name, date of birth, etc., they make you a new passport, and you fly home? They do this all day for tourists who had their stuff & ID stolen, there are procedures. I mean obviously it sucks to have that happen to you but it’s not like your life is over or anything. And the government should definitely write you a nice check as an apology.
