It’s wild how many US judges seem to just be classic dumb guy types

Yet despite the fact that there was voluminous evidence that this was utterly false—evidence reviewed by prosecutors earlier in the hearing—Carney persisted in privileging the defendant’s attempts to depict their intentions as neutral and nonviolent.

At a panel session Wednesday, right-wing conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec said without irony or sarcasm, “I just wanted to say, welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it.”

Trump didn’t cause these people to be fascist bigots. He gave them permission to be open about it.

>"On or about Nov. 15, 2023, in the District of Arizona, I, Barry Johnson, was driving a 2018 Dodge Durango near Palominas. I was transporting two illegal aliens in the vehicle, including Adrian Sanchez-Texis and Wilmer Jannini Ocampo-Estrada. I knew the individuals were illegal aliens, and I intended to assist them in remaining in the United States unlawfully. I was going to be paid for the transportation," Johnson wrote as part of his Dec. 13 guilty plea.

Hello everyone. I know that these are tough times for many people. If you derive value from the fediverse and have the means to do so, please consider donating to support your instance. Most instances rely on donations to pay the bills (infosec.exchange and friends cost over $3000/month to host).

Instructions on how to donate are generally available on your instance's "about" page (for example: https://infosec.exchange/about)

Also, I firmly believe that access to the fediverse should not be tied to one's ability to pay, and I think it's even more important for those in difficult situations to maintain the social connections that the fediverse provides, so (at least in my view) donations are welcome, but not required in any way.

And for those people who already donate, my hats off to you. You make the fediverse possible. ​
