If you’re a teacher in Tennessee and you shoot a suspect, you’re on your own:

“Those carrying guns would be liable if anything went wrong: Under the legislation, school districts and law enforcement agencies would be immune from any related claims of monetary damages, even if a teacher intentionally carried out a shooting or if a student was accidentally shot.”

The moment Hasan knew he had Regev on the ropes was when he said that an estimated 11,000 people had been killed by the siege, citing numbers from the Gaza Health Ministry. Regev interrupted Hasan and started shouting, “That Hamas controls! You have to say that!” To which Hasan replied, “I don’t have to say what you ask me to say.” Still, he had been prepared for this, so he pulled up a graphic onscreen that compared the Palestinian death toll from the past two major conflicts, in 2009 and 2014, as reported by the Gaza Health Ministry and Israel — similar. When Hasan brought up the images then circulating online of Palestinian children being pulled from the rubble, they had the following exchange:

REGEV: Because they’re the pictures Hamas wants you to see.

HASAN: And also because they’re dead, Mark. They’re also people your government has killed. You accept that, right? You’ve killed children?

REGEV: I do not. First of all, you don’t know how those people died.

HASAN: Oh, wow.

Hasan pressed on through his list of questions: whether Israel would bomb a school with Israeli children inside if Hamas had taken it over (“We wouldn’t allow them to take over a school in the first place”); the propagandistic tweets from Israeli leadership, including a video of an Israeli soldier falsely claiming that the days of the week on a calendar written in Arabic were the names of Hamas terrorists (“Have you made a professional mistake, ever?”); and the Israeli administration’s genocidal language (“I know my Jewish history”). For people looking for accountability from an Israeli official, the exchange provided a brief flash of sanity. Even though the interview aired on Peacock, the NBC streaming service barely anyone watches, it went viral once Hasan tweeted it out to his million-plus followers. Two weeks later, MSNBC canceled his show.

One really interesting thing about this current moment in our history is how one specific viewpoint keeps getting aggressively suppressed over and over again while most people just stand mute, or credulously repeat lies that directly lead to famine then avoid looking in the mirror when those lies are exposed.

I don’t know who this “us” is, but it wasn’t most kids my age.

In the early 70s in Redding, CA - my grandparents lived on ‘Pleasant Street’ - their house having been moved their by the state when I-5 was put in…the house was on blocks and railroad ties until both of them passed…grandpa in 74 and grandma in 86. Only a kitchen sink, bathroom sink and toilet and shower to drain, so plumbing it was easy.

There was a store on the corner. Balsa planes were 10 or 15 cents. Candy was a nickel. 1970-72ish - I started going to St Joseph’s on the other side of Benton Air Park (local runway between grandma’s and the church) in 71-72…the short-cut to school for us as kids when we stayed there was to cross the runway. We got yelled at but we would always look for gaps in use which were pretty frequent.

It’s self weaponizing if Biden signs it. The transition won’t go smoothly and it’s irrelevant anyways because the perception will be that the US government is trying to censor ideas it finds inconvenient.

Even better: Courts issue injunctions and stays when the moving party has a likelihood of success on the merits. Basically, “we think you’ll probably win, so we’ll go ahead and start acting like it, to reduce the harm done to you while the final proceedings play out.” The Appellate Division’s refusal to issue a stay of the trial or the gag order indicates that they’re likely to tell him to go fuck himself after the appeal is fully briefed.

‘It Is Desolate’: China’s Glut of Unused Car Factories
Manufacturers like BYD, Tesla and Li Auto are cutting prices to move their electric cars. For gasoline-powered vehicles, the surplus of factories is even worse.

…Almost all of China’s electric cars are assembled at newly built factories, which qualify for subsidies from municipal governments and state-directed banks. It’s cheaper for automakers to build new factories than to convert existing ones. The result has been enormous overcapacity…

Battlestar Galactica star Terry Carter dies at the age of 95, star’s son confirms

The Brooklyn native was one of the first Black actors as a regular on a TV sitcom series playing Private Sugarman on The Phil Silvers Show. He appeared in 92 episodes on the show from 1955-1959 and became New England’s first Black TV anchor newscaster, for WBZ-TV Eyewitness News in Boston from 1965 to 1968. He was also the station’s drama and movie critic.

His son, Miguel Carter DeCoste, confirmed the news to The New York Times on Tuesday. Terry died at his home in Midtown Manhattan and was 95 years old. In the 1950s and 1960s, Terry Carter defied color barriers both on stage and on television. He made multicultural documentaries on dancer-choreographer Katherine Dunham and jazz great Duke Ellington.

Especially when ByteDance can point to other social media platforms (Twitter) that are more than a bit owned by a foreign nation that actually has used scraped data to spy on people.

Hopeful news out of PA

Ex-Republican news anchor set to face-off with GOP rep subpoenaed during Jan. 6 probe

US Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) faces a potential ouster this year, as former Pennsylvania news anchor Janelle Stelson vies to take his seat, according to the Hill.

Per the news outlet, Decision Desk HQ projects Stelson — who’s a former Republican — will secure the Democratic primary.

The New Republic’s Greg Sargent earlier this month wrote that Scott is among a handful of US representatives whose “reelection hopes have been ‘tainted with election denialism, some of it extremely serious or even deranged.’”

In January, the Philadelphia Inquirer — Pennsylvania’s largest newspaper — urged voters to oust Perry, along with two other “disgraced lawmakers” — US Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano (R-Franklin) — this year.

Pointing to Perry’s wrongdoing, the newspaper’s editorial board wrote:

Perry defied a subpoena from colleagues in the House that investigated events leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. The final House reportmentions Perry 22 times and referred him to the Ethics Committee.

So this was one of those bills that had to pass for one reason, but everyone will have something they seriously hate about it. That doesn’t make it a good bill. That just makes it the kind of bill you get with Republicans in charge of the House.

re: #67 Belafon

yeah, the approval for the money and the weapons gets out the door. Less than happy with the arms for Israel side of things, but there IS (I believe) humanitarian aid worked in there as well. It could be that Biden simply doesn’t ship the arms until he’s damn well ready and emphasizes the humanitarian aid first.

I also don;t want to downplay the aid to Taiwan. China has been probing looking for a weakness and Joe’s efforts in bringing Taiwan under the umbrella of an agreement with Japan, South Korea and ANZUS should give the Chinese and North Koreans some pause.

To be fair, it’s probably hospital lawyers, very concerned about potential liability that are causing things like this to be the new norm.

I know I certainly wouldn’t want to lose my job or go to jail because of Republican fuckery.

Not that that’s much consolation to the women caught in the middle of all this.
