    I’m repurposing a comment I left on a post about Palantir’s involvement in the pager attacks (posted to c chapotraphouse).

    Palantir CEO Alex Karp appeared as the main interview on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday. He is an enthusiastic believer in the moral authority and superiority of the US.

    He says the future of modern warfare will be peer to peer and drone to drone. “You’re going to be using software to control small instruments and there’s going to be hundreds of thousands of them.” He mentions fighting China and Russia specifically.

    I don’t know if this is news but interesting to hear him say a lot of evil shit out-loud on a pretty mainstream platform. Also I watched it after the pager attack happened so it took on extra significance.

    edit - fixed spelling of guy’s name

    I saw the CEO’s appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher which aired Friday. It’s actually worth watching because he says stuff out-loud and he’s a true believer. His ideology such as it is is a lot like Sam Harris but he’s more mask off and more animated and enthusiastic.

    He says the future of modern warfare will be peer to peer and drone to drone. “You’re going to be using software to control small instruments and there’s going to be hundreds of thousands of them.” He mentions fighting China and Russia specifically.

    Thoughts. The mega-war comments were kinda cringe (esp vis a vis trans mega although I don’t think there was bad intent, hope not) and I wished people self policed more. (Not shaming anyone, bandwagons happen and now it’s corrected.) It seems these comments have been minimized and I appreciate the mod work on this. I don’t think it’s an issue anymore.

    The “innocent” OT (and “oops wrong mega”) I appreciate as long as there are not too many.

    The news mega is a community and sometimes I have an issue or topic that I’d like feedback and engagement on from my news comrades here. This is a common phenomenon across special interest groups, you become friendly and wish to expand the range of conversation or you wish to tap the knowledge base. (I suppose my saying this could be interpreted as a reason for More Moderation in news mega to ensure that other comms get love. It’s not my call.) Maybe a pinned comment to contain OT? Did someone else suggest that? Or what if we make a post in another targeted comm and leave a pointer here in the news mega. I’ve pointed to a news comm story in the news mega - and got positive feedback from a couple who had missed it.

    Re doomer stuff. Let people vent, and use the reply. We all learn and so will the libs who wander in.

    I was watching some European news channel in English about 30 minutes ago: The talking head guest is defending Israel and bemoaning Putler. The interviewer starts asking good questions. She’s pro-Kiev but points out the hypocrisy. She pointedly asks if the sanctions are working against Russia, and he hedges, well, yes. And she says then why not sanction Israel. And he says, we cannot apply logic here, it’s about principles.

    similarly, wanting me to make a choice when I have no information or influence on budget, timing, etc. If our budget is $10 and I don't know if it's $2 or $50, I have no idea what an appropriate suggestion will be.

    I was meeting a new friend the other day and we had to pick a spot. I texted, wherever you want, and she replied, anywhere you want. So I picked a normal coffee shop in a central location. She replied: what are you, rich, lol, how about the beach?

    Agree, but please allow or forgive this rambling response.

    85 US military bases and more than 52,000 US soldiers in Japan

    While shocking on the face of it, I imagine sharing this with my “politically inclined” US acquaintances of D R and I stripe and hearing something like: “Well it’s either that or another Pearl Harbor/Nagasaki.”

    When confronted with truths these people say: IF the US are the police if the world that’s a good thing.

    Getting facts out in the open doesn’t seem to change opinion maybe because secretly people already know. Except we do see some resistance in the youth writ large who can see the horror in their feeds but I do not see much give in “polite society.” The most I get is a “yeesh, too bad about the situation in Palestine” and that’s ONLY if I know the person well.

    A while back. I was telling one of my rad lib (and solidly Dem) acquaintances that Biden/US very likely blew up the pipeline. He agreed it was the likeliest scenario, but thought it was a “good thing that “we” did it.”

    I relate to a lot of this. I suggest - if you have the means - to just do something you are halfway interested in. And then keep doing it with consistency. I go to a group activity and I go to often enough that I hang out and shoot the shit after and it’s kind of nice and I feel like I’ve done something besides pick up the house and look at a screen.

    “Let me simply say, for better or for worse, Kamala Harris is not more progressive than I am.”

    The bar is below ground so maybe. 🤷 ::: spoiler spoiler Listen to Donald Trump, turn on Fox News, or follow any Republican on social media and you will hear or see the constant claim that Kamala Harris is more "radical" and more "far left" than Bernie Sanders. No. Let me simply say, for better or for worse, Kamala Harris is not more progressive than I am. It is always hard to respond to Trump’s lies because, a day later, his lies become even more preposterous. But, as we come together to defeat Trump and elect the Vice President, let me just remind you of one simple fact: The so-called "radical" and “far left” agenda that we are fighting for is, in poll after poll, far more popular than Donald Trump, more popular than the Republican Party, and it is supported by a strong majority of the American people, including Republicans and Independents. When Trump, Republicans, and even some members of the corporate media try to scare you with words like "radical" and "far left" it's important to understand what those policies actually mean and to know that these “radical” ideas are already in place in many countries around the world. When we talk about guaranteeing healthcare as a right for all our people, we're talking about the ability to get the healthcare you and your loved ones need without fear of going bankrupt. We're talking about the ability to change jobs without fear of losing your healthcare. When we talk about paid family and medical leave, we're talking about being able to spend the first few months with your newborn child without rushing back to work the next week, and we're talking about being able to care for a loved-one who is sick without having to worry about missing a paycheck. When we talk about tuition-free college, we're talking about the ability to get an education without having to leave school with crushing debt. We're talking about the ability to start a business and create jobs without having to worry about decades of student loan payments. When we talk about a "Green New Deal," we're talking about a planet that is habitable for future generations — with less drought, famine, floods, extreme weather disturbances, disease, and human suffering. When we talk about raising the minimum wage, we're talking about people not having to work two or three jobs just to make ends meet for their families. When we talk about expanding Medicare to cover dental, hearing, and vision, we're talking about our seniors being able to chew the food they eat, listen to the sound of their loved ones' voices, and see the world around them. When we talk about passing the PRO Act, we're talking about giving working people a greater voice on the job to negotiate better pay and benefits for them and their families. We're talking about people just trying to make a living while CEOs are making a killing. When we talk about letting the government negotiate the price of prescription drugs, we're talking about making sure people can afford the lifesaving medicine they need without having to choose between their health and food or utilities. When we talk about overturning Citizens United, we're talking about making it so the wealthiest people and corporations in this country do not have the ability to buy our elections and our democracy. When we talk about strengthening public education, we are talking about the ability to make sure that all of our children, regardless of income, get the education they need to prepare themselves for the future. When we talk about strengthening and expanding Social Security, we're talking about making sure all of our seniors can retire and live out their lives with dignity. And when we talk about making sure the wealthy pay their fair share, we are simply saying that it is time we have a government and an economy that works for everyone in this country, not just the top 1 percent. It’s time that we dealt with the unprecedented level of income and wealth that we are currently experiencing. That is NOT a radical agenda. The Republican Party and Donald Trump: More tax breaks to billionaires, budgets to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, letting polluters destroy our planet, letting drug companies charge whatever they want for medicine... That is radical. So here is our job in the next few weeks — and I need your help to get it done: Please contribute $50 to my campaign and I will use the donations we receive to travel the country to rally progressives to defeat Donald Trump and to elect the most progressive Congress possible this November. We’ve already had great events in Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Maine and New York. But much more needs to be done. :::

    I agree about Obama. His image is precision curated and he limits his public appearances which adds to his mystique. Michelle comes off masterfully too. They’ve got it.

    Not an allegation but the best I got:

    So horrified was he by the Tiananmen Square incident that he chose the date for his checks notes wedding day

    <<Indeed, Mr Walz has often spoken publicly about his horror at the crushing of the Tiananmen protests, and in 2009 he co-sponsored a resolution in Congress marking its 20th anniversary.

    <<His wife Gwen has said that the events had such an effect on Walz, that he chose 4 June - the day Beijing sent the troops in - as the date of their wedding five years later. She said that "he wanted to have a date he'll always remember".>>

    TIL about this guy Karl Bushby of Hull, England. He has been on a 25 year trek around the world on foot. He gets to the Caspian Sea and has to cross it because he can’t go around to the south because Iran and he can’t go north because Russia. IDK I think he should try. My guess is either country would let him in but his home country might fuck with him, freeze his money, stuff like that.

    I don't think there's much there there beyond an ever-flexible lib narrative and squishy journalism. This is the pull-quote: "Throughout the war, U.S. officials have assessed that President Vladimir V. Putin is loath to expand the war beyond Ukraine’s borders."

    Random thought. The first time I encountered the Russian Meddling story was on the Samantha B show. I was still a lib (rad-lib whatever) and took it mostly at face value. I did think to myself that seems like a cool gig in a region where opportunities are limited. But how the hell was Samantha B the one to “break” this. I assume it was fed to her and the show’s producers.

    I just had dinner with a friend from there. Midtown where a couple of these hotels are, like the Roosevelt.

    Friend is supposedly Democrat but sounds Republican on so many things.

    He was like, I support immigration (migrants and asylum seekers) but why should we have to pay for it!! He said there were extra taxes and surcharges in NYC, like for the subway I think. (I looked it up and couldn’t find evidence of this.)

    He said there’s increased crime, specifically drug dealing.

    Oh and he mentioned the cut-backs on library spending.

    Remember Adams closed them all on Sunday a while ago.

    Meanwhile they spent blobs on surveillance tech that was probably made in Israel.

    He is first gen Indian immigrant. Naturalized citizen. He said everyone in his neighborhood shares his POV.

    This reminds me of a theory about the would-be Trump assassin. That his motive was anti-Epstein, anti-pedo and that Biden and Trump were both targets, but that Trump was closer, only about an hour away from where the shooter lived.

    Not exactly what you are asking but this is a comment from user sexywheat that I had saved. It might have been in a news-mega. It describes the older libs in my life.

    Also I would add the obvious:

    projection

    “In my observations on Libs, I think the biggest challenge for them is that they fundamentally trust the institutions that govern our society. In order to believe in something else, they would have to break that trust on a fundamental level. But that trust underpins their entire worldview, so in doing so they would not only have to fundamentally alter their core values, but also in doing to have to admit that they have been wrong about everything their entire lives. That's a pretty tall order.”

    “I can agree with you that 5 evil is less than 10 evil. But 5 plus infinity evil (genocide) is equal to 10 plus infinity (genocide).”

    And this gem: “There will always be single issue voters. At least genocide is a better single issue than most.”

    Thousands of North Koreans stole Americans’ identities and took remote-work tech jobs at Fortune 500 companies, DOJ says

    Based. [Archive link](https://archive.is/9Enzg) ::: spoiler Text The Justice Department on Thursday announced the arrests of three people in a complex stolen identity scheme that officials say generates enormous proceeds for the North Korean government, including for its weapons program. The scheme involves thousands of North Korean information technology workers who prosecutors say are dispatched by the government to live abroad and who rely on the stolen identities of Americans to obtain remote employment at U.S.-based Fortune 500 companies, jobs that give them access to sensitive corporate data and lucrative paychecks. The fraud is a way for heavily sanctioned North Korea, which is cut off from the U.S. financial system, to take advantage of a “toxic brew” of converging factors, including high-tech labor shortage in the U.S. and the proliferation of remote telework, Marshall Miller, the Justice Department’s principal associate deputy attorney general, said in an interview. The Justice Department says the cases are part of a broader strategy to not only prosecute individuals who enable the fraud but also to build partnerships with other countries and to warn private-sector companies of the need to be vigilant about the people they’re hiring. FBI and Justice Department officials launched an initiative in March and last year announced the seizure of website domains used by North Korean IT workers. “More and more often, compliance programs at American companies and organizations are on the front lines of protecting our national security,” “Corporate compliance and national security are now intertwined like never before.” The Justice Department says the conspiracy has affected more than 300 companies — including a high-end retail chain and “premier Silicon Valley technology company” — and generated more than $6.8 million in revenue for the workers, who are based outside of the U.S., including in China and Russia. The three people arrested include an Arizona woman, Christina Marie Chapman, who prosecutors say facilitated the scheme by helping the workers obtain and validate stolen identities, receiving laptops from U.S. companies who thought they were sending the devices to legitimate employees and helping the workers connect remotely to the company. According to the indictment, Chapman ran more than one “laptop farm” where U.S. companies sent computers and paychecks to IT workers they did not realize were overseas. At Chapman’s laptop farms, she allegedly connected overseas IT workers who logged in remotely to company networks so it appeared the logins were coming from the United States. She also is alleged to have received paychecks for the overseas IT workers at her home, forging the beneficiaries’ signatures for transfer abroad and enriching herself by charging monthly fees. The other two defendants include a Ukrainian man, Oleksandr Didenko, who prosecutors say created fake accounts at job search platforms and was arrested in Poland last week, and a Vietnamese national, Minh Phuong Vong, who was arrested Thursday in Maryland on charges of fraudulently obtaining a job at a U.S. company that was actually performed by remote workers who posed as him and were based overseas. It was not immediately clear if any of the three had lawyers. Separately, the State Department said it was offering a reward for information about certain North Korean IT workers who officials say were assisted by Chapman. And the FBI, which conducted the investigations, issued a public service announcement that warned companies about the scheme, encouraging them to implement identity verification standards through the hiring process and to educate human resources staff and hiring managers about the threat. :::

    Politico article - Big blue cities are embracing conservative anti-crime measures. Here’s why.

    [Archive link](https://archive.is/XCvf6) CW for gems like, “This week’s election results mark a shift back to the center.” ::: spoiler text San Francisco, Washington and New York City are among the municipalities where policymakers are backing harsher policies. San Francisco’s liberal voters just endorsed drug screenings for welfare recipients. Washington’s progressive City Council passed a crime package Tuesday that will keep more people in jail while awaiting trial. And New York’s governor on Wednesday ordered hundreds of National Guard troops to deploy inside the city’s troubled subway system. The country’s biggest, bluest cities are embracing tough-on-crime policies that would have been politically heretical just a few years ago — ratcheting up criminal penalties and expanding police power amid fear and anger over a rash of brazen crimes like carjackings and retail theft. These Democrat-led policy changes mark a stark reversal from 2020, when the growing influence of progressives fueled a national effort to curb police powers and scale back law enforcement budgets following the murder of George Floyd. Now the left is in retreat on criminal justice. “I don’t believe it’s progressive to allow people to get assaulted on the streets at night. I don’t believe it’s progressive to allow people to sleep in tents,” Mark Farrell, a moderate Democrat challenging San Francisco Mayor London Breed, said on Tuesday. “This is not the city I grew up in. It’s not a city I recognize right now.” Blue cities are pushing these harsher policies even as crime has ticked down significantly nationwide, following big spikes during the pandemic — although that trendline has been slower to emerge in some major cities like Washington and San Francisco. It’s the perception of increased crime that is driving many of these changes as Republicans continue to pillory Democrats as weak on law enforcement in the run-up to the presidential election. “What we’re seeing now is a recognition that we have to lean in and do more as government to provide for the safety and well-being of our residents,” said Democrat Brooke Pinto, the Washington councilmember who championed the crime package. “We didn’t do a complete 180 from where we were, but instead we looked at the practical realities on the ground and sought to right-size many of those reforms.” California has epitomized the ebb and flow of criminal justice politics. After championing stringent penalties for decades that filled prisons to capacity, the state has spent the last several years swinging in the other direction as its politics and urban centers became ever-more Democratic. This week’s election results mark a shift back to the center. In San Francisco, voters passed Breed’s ballot initiatives to lift restrictions on police operations and screen welfare recipients for drug use — two traditionally conservative proposals that nevertheless resonated with an overwhelmingly Democratic electorate, illustrating voters’ frustration with public drug use. “You’re saving the Democratic Party from itself,” San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, a moderate Breed ally, told activists at the mayor’s election-night party on Tuesday. Breed and Democratic San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan have also endorsed a statewide referendum, intended for the November ballot and backed by prosecutors, that would increase penalties for drug and property crimes. That would roll back a 2014 sentencing-slashing ballot initiative that passed thanks in part to broad support from Democratic officials. “You get these kinds of corrective or over-corrective acts. Some of it’s political,” said Tori Verber Salazar, a progressive former San Joaquin County District Attorney. “You’ve got a mayor that’s in big trouble, likely not going to be mayor again, so she’s throwing some hail marys out there.” In Los Angeles, progressive District Attorney George Gascón is limping into his reelection bid. Four years ago, Gascón channeled a racial justice upsurge to topple an incumbent on a platform of reducing incarceration and prosecuting more police officers. His win was a signal victory for a national movement to elect liberal prosecutors. But his standing has eroded badly since then, and in a Tuesday primary packed with challengers Gascón won around a fifth of the votes counted so far — a dismal showing for an incumbent. He will match up with former prosecutor Nathan Hochman in a replay-in-miniature of the state’s 2022 attorney general race, when Hochman challenged progressive incumbent Rob Bonta. And in Alameda County, where Oakland’s crime woes have prompted a state intervention, embattled progressive District Attorney Pamela Price is likely to face a recall election before her first term is up — an echo of the 2022 ouster of then-San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. Democrats on the East Coast are also distancing themselves from progressive policies viewed as soft-on-crime. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday she is deploying the national guard to New York City’s subway system after a violent string of transit attacks, including one instance where a subway conductor was slashed in the neck while on the job. Hochul’s announcement, which also includes increasing the numbers of state and Metropolitan Transportation Authority police in the subways, comes two days after she doubled down on her commitment to fighting crime. On Monday, the governor lauded state officers for increasing gun seizures and driving down violent crimes and carjackings upstate. “This is not just a one off; this is the type of aggressive policing that our state police has been engaged in every single day,” Hochul said. During that announcement, she firmly separated herself from changes to bail laws passed by former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, which were used by Republicans to cast Hochul as soft-on-crime during her 2022 gubernatorial election. That race proved to be surprisingly — and, for Democrats, embarrassingly — competitive. Hochul beat former Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin by the smallest margin of victory in three decades of any New York governor’s race. As she looks toward her 2026 reelection, Hochul’s campaign told POLITICO they are keen to continue promoting her work to strengthen bail laws and drive down crime. “I cannot have people that committed a crime being turned out again because we don’t have the standards in place,” Hochul said Monday. New York City Mayor Eric Adams — a former NYPD captain who ran a tough-on-crime campaign for office — is making similar moves to crack down on crime in the country’s largest transit system, which saw a 45 percent spike in serious incidents in January, largely driven by theft. In response, the Democratic mayor flooded stations with more officers who have focused on boosting arrest numbers to historic levels. Over the course of February, transit crime subsequently fell 15 percent compared to the year before.A heavier police presence, Adams argued, is also key to changing perceptions about crime that do not always align with the statistics. “Nothing encourages the feeling of safety more than having a uniformed officer present from the bag checks when you first come into the system to watching them walk through the subway cars to the platforms,” he said during a Wednesday interview on FOX 5. The aggressive moves by New York officials to address subway crime quickly sparked denouncements from progressives. “These heavy-handed approaches will, like stop-and-frisk, be used to accost and profile Black and Brown New Yorkers, ripping a page straight out of the Giuliani playbook,” New York Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Donna Lieberman said in a statement responding to Hochul’s announcement. The nation’s capital has also been beset by angst over crime, including the highest number of murders in more than two decades last year. A series of high-profile crimes in recent months have further heightened anxiety. In October, Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) was carjacked at gunpoint just blocks from the U.S. Capitol. Then last month, Mike Gill, a former city election official who served in both the Obama and Trump administrations, was shot and killed while picking up his wife in downtown Washington. The headline-grabbing incidents have led to Republican denunciations of the city’s purportedly lax criminal justice policies. “No section of this city can be considered safe anymore,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Arizona) said during an October congressional hearing. “The Washington, D.C., City Council has passed laws that emboldened criminals and hamstrung the police.” While city officials dismiss such characterizations as baseless fear mongering, they’ve nonetheless dramatically changed their approach in recent months. Most significantly, that included passing a major criminal justice package on Tuesday — with all but one member of the City Council backing the bill — that toughens penalties and expands police powers. They’re responding to constituents who are fed up with the city’s crime problems. Two members of the City Council — Charles Allen and Brianne Nadeau — are facing recall campaigns, spurred by anger over their support for liberal crime policies. Both backed the crime package on Tuesday. “A collective sigh of relief I think is the sense that I’m feeling from people who are reaching out,” City Council member Pinto, the chief sponsor of the “Secure D.C.” package, said of the response. “I have heard from so many residents in the last 24 hours who feel like finally their calls for action and change have been heard and we will start to have a safer and more secure city.” :::

    Mother of Michigan School Shooter Found Guilty

    This is the mother who wrote a love letter to Trump saying she wasn’t mad about him saying Grab…ussy. Based on what I’ve read about this case (which isn’t a ton), the school was absolutely negligent as well. >Michigan jurors, after 11 hours of deliberations, found Jennifer Crumbley guilty of involuntary manslaughter on Tuesday for the gun rampage committed by her son, who carried out the state’s deadliest school shooting more than two years ago. >Ms. Crumbley, 45, was convicted on four counts of involuntary manslaughter, one for each of the four students who were shot to death by her son at Oxford High School on Nov. 30, 2021. The son, Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 at the time, used a pistol to kill Madisyn Baldwin, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Justin Shilling, 17; and Hana St. Juliana, 14. Seven other people were injured. The gun was a gift from his parents. >She faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison after being convicted of all four counts. >Ethan, who pleaded guilty to 24 charges including first-degree murder, was sentenced last year to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He did not testify in his mother’s trial. Ms. Crumbley’s husband, James Crumbley, 47, will be tried separately in March. >The trial became a lightning rod for issues of parental responsibility at a time of frequent cases of gun violence carried out by teenagers and children. > In the last few months, parents whose children carried out gun violence in other states have pleaded guilty to charges of reckless conduct or neglect, part of a push by some prosecutors to hold parents accountable when they are suspected of enabling deadly violence. >But the charges against Ms. Crumbley were even more serious, making her trial a significant test case for prosecutors. >At the courtroom in Pontiac, Mich., jurors spent seven days listening to wrenching testimony from nearly two dozen witnesses, including Ms. Crumbley, who testified in her own defense for about three hours last week. >The prosecutors argued that Ms. Crumbley should have noticed her son’s distress and stopped him from committing an act of unspeakable violence. Marc Keast, one of the prosecutors, said that she and her husband “didn’t do any number of tragically small and easy things that would have prevented all of this from happening.” >But the defense lawyer, Shannon Smith, depicted Ms. Crumbley as a “hypervigilant mother” who was attentive to her son’s needs and could not have foreseen what would happen. >Ms. Smith also argued that parenting could be a messy and unpredictable job, and that no mother could be perfect. “This case is a very dangerous one for parents out there,” she said during her closing arguments on Friday. >During the trial, the prosecutors focused in part on Ethan’s access to a firearm. But jurors also had to wrestle with a more abstract question: whether witness testimony — along with an extensive collection of text messages — could be a reliable window into a troubled teenager’s state of mind or a mother’s relationship with her son. >Jurors were shown messages that Ethan sent to a friend in April 2021, complaining of insomnia, paranoia and hearing voices. The jurors were also shown messages that he sent to his mother in March 2021, in which he suggested that their home was haunted by a demon. Ms. Crumbley, prosecutors pointed out, did not always respond. >But in her testimony, Ms. Crumbley said that Ethan and his parents had joked for years about whether their house was haunted, adding that her son was just “messing around.” >Prosecutors also shared messages exchanged between Ms. Crumbley and her husband, colleagues and friends, which they said suggested that Ms. Crumbley had paid more attention to her two horses, and her extramarital affair, than to her son’s needs. >Ms. Crumbley testified that she had not seen her son as a danger to others. “As a parent, you spend your whole life trying to protect your child from other dangers,” she said. “You never would think you have to protect your child from harming somebody else.” >While Ms. Crumbley accompanied Ethan to a shooting range a few days before the rampage, she testified on Thursday that her husband, who had purchased the gun used in the shooting, was more familiar with firearms and had been responsible for storing the Sig Sauer pistol. >Ms. Crumbley also described a meeting with school officials that took place about two hours before the attack. She and her husband had been called to the high school after Ethan wrote troubling things on a math worksheet, including the phrase “blood everywhere.” >Ms. Crumbley said that after a counselor shared his concerns about Ethan’s mental health, they decided together that her son could stay at school rather than go home alone. They did not search his backpack, which contained the pistol that he would soon turn on his schoolmates. >On Thursday, a detective guided jurors through the pages of Ethan’s journal, which was found at the school after the shooting. The teenager had written about a plan to cause bloodshed, adding drawings of guns and pleas for help regarding his mental health. >“My parents won’t listen to me about help or a therapist,” Ethan wrote. But Ms. Crumbley said that she had never seen the journal entries, nor heard her son ask for a therapist. >Prosecutors had also suggested that the Crumbleys tried to flee the authorities by leaving their home in Oxford shortly after the shooting. The couple was arrested in Detroit on Dec. 4, 2021. Ms. Smith, the defense lawyer, argued that they feared for their safety in the face of relentless threats, and Ms. Crumbley testified that she had planned to turn herself in. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/06/us/jennifer-crumbley-michigan-shooting-verdict.html Archive of NYT article https://archive.is/S9Unn Archive of Reuters article https://archive.is/Cvrde

    What are some obvious racist and chauvinist things that are totally normalized?

    Things that are so obvious and ingrained that no one even thinks about them. Here’s a few: All US americans can go to Mexico EASILY. You’re supposed to have a passport but you don’t even need one (for car/foot crossing). Versus, it’s really hard for Mexicans, who aren’t wealthy, to secure a VISA to enter the US. I’m sure there are corollaries in other geo-regions. Another one is wealthy countries having access to vaccines far ahead of “poor” countries. In US, we might pay lip service to equal child-hood education but most of the funding pulls from local taxes so some kids might receive ~$10000 in spending while another receives $2000. I’m not looking it up at the moment, but I’m SURE there are strong racial stratas.

    TN Hospital Forcibly Sends Woman to Die in the back of a cop car, claims it’s appropriate apnews.com

    CW ⚠️ medical homicide **Hospital: Treatment, discharge of woman who died appropriate** <— *that’s the actual headline, WTF AP* [archive link](https://archive.ph/wip/PGwck) KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A woman who died after being discharged from a Tennessee hospital and forced to leave despite her pleas for more help received appropriate medical treatment, the hospital said, but changes were being made to security procedures. The findings from an internal investigation by Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville over its treatment of 60-year-old Lisa Edwards were released Tuesday, news outlets reported. Security officers at the hospital called police Feb. 5 saying that Edwards had been evaluated and discharged, but was refusing to leave. Four responding police officers were investigated for repeatedly ignoring her pleas for help as they accused her of faking illness. The Knox County District Attorney’s office said it would not press criminal charges against the officers after an autopsy determined that Edwards died of a stroke and that “at no time did law enforcement interaction cause or contribute to Ms. Edwards’ death.” A video released by police showed officers struggle for about 25 minutes to move Edwards into a police van and finally a cruiser. Edwards repeatedly asks for help but is rebuffed by officers and hospital security guards who become frustrated with her inability to step up into the van and tell her she is faking her incapacity. After she is placed in a police cruiser, video shows Edwards trying to pull herself upright repeatedly, but eventually she slumps over out of sight. Several minutes later, one of the officers performs a traffic stop on another vehicle while Edwards remains in the backseat. When he opens the rear door, Edwards is unresponsive. He calls dispatch for an ambulance, telling them, “I don’t know if she’s faking it or what, but she’s not answering me.” Edwards was pronounced dead at the Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center the following day. The hospital said it conducted a thorough internal investigation of Edwards’ care and found that her “medical treatment and hospital discharge were clinically appropriate.” The hospital also reviewed security procedures and said changes were being made. Several security officers who were working at the facility when Edwards was removed are no longer employed, the hospital said. “In addition, we are implementing empathy training for security officers serving on behalf of Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center and Covenant Health,” the statement said.
