"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny." He/him.

With the Hunter Biden plea making headlines, it's worth revisiting this 2017 @ProPublica story.

NY prosecutors were prepping a criminal case against Ivanka & Donald Trump Jr. until they were overruled after a top donor paid a visit to the Manhattan DA:

What the what now?

And can anyone in good faith say they're shocked by "the Torture King"'s decor preferences?

@agraybee IIRC the boxing authorities seriously considered not letting him fight again. The biggest draw of his day and a Don King client, and the boxing sanctioning bodies thought about canceling him.

Of course Holyfield’s ear still tells the story of where they came down in the end.

@hexadecim8 What even the fuck is Gaetz trying to say? His tweet makes even less sense than he normally does.

@shanselman Perhaps they cannot acquire a palm pilot in Royston Vesey https://t.co/usDo7tifWu

@hexadecim8 Recalling the fact that the President in question compromised Israel’s HUMINT control systems too.

@joshtpm At the same time completely banal, in that it’s completely grifter/conman/fraudster 101 stuff (make the mark feel special) once you look past the extreme narcissism.

@EvanHurst @MollyJongFast First pic it looks like the jacket isn’t so much wearing Pence as devouring him.

Second pic I *really* don’t want to know what’s going on with his pants.

@NatalieDempse16 @EvanHurst @MollyJongFast … still wouldn’t make them look good

@_celia_bedelia_ We know DAMN WELL he was giving them to Kash Patel, who was missing them as egregiously as his imagination permitted because that isn’t a man, it’s a glob of pure malice in a skin suit.

@Ranting_Trans @sunlightwarden I think I had it confused with Tumblr because I thought it was the moment they announced “and now for my next guest it is my profound honor to welcome Michelle Obama” or something.

Good grief what is happening in Cincinnati today? Have our stormtrooper cosplayers lost the ability to distinguish a real-life FBI office from a level of Quake?

Also @KillerMartinis is Chester township/Wilmington anywhere near your old neck of the woods?

[David Waldman - @KagroX.bsky.social @KagroX]

CAN YOU NOT SEE AT LAST HOW PUBLICITY-HUNGRY THESE FBI THUGS ARE?!?!?!

They served a subpoena on this MONTHS ago, quietly and with no fanfare, and nobody said Boo! about it until now.

SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THE TYRANNY!

[Matthew Whelan 🇺🇦 end asylum caps @sullivanst]

@KillerMartinis First I’d need a course completion certificate from an accredited body sufficient to demonstrate he can distinguish a debate from a hole in the wall.

@joshtpm & much more recently the diabolical insistence by the PPT and majority at the time that the rules don’t say what they say for the purpose of installing a SCOTUS majority that could never get 60 votes but is hellbent on destroying all social progress for the last 50 years or more.

[Matthew Whelan 🇺🇦 end asylum caps @sullivanst]

@joshtpm My mind is absolutely blown that his standard for acceptable behavior is “it’s happened before”

Like, so have all the most despicable acts the human mind is capable of imagining, pretty much, including in context of the Senate the abuse of the rules to uphold Jim Crow.

[Matthew Whelan 🇺🇦 end asylum caps @sullivanst]

@GhostPanther @PatDntExist Also if you know literally anything at all about history, you’ll know that “it’s happened before” is a deeply disgustingly amoral standard to apply to present behavior.

[Matthew Whelan 🇺🇦 end asylum caps @sullivanst]

@GhostPanther @PatDntExist That’s absolutely not in the least how the Byrd rule works.
