This is what happens when faux controversies and concocted bogeymen become entrenched in the mainstream media’s consensus narrative: Even judges who are supposed to only consider evidence in the context of their court proceedings can let these narratives influence, if not dictate, their legal judgment and jurisprudence.

As Wheeler notes, a proper comparison “would make it clear that Federal authorities treated Trump’s supporters far too lightly, not the opposite.” This is similar to what we saw throughout the five years of Proud Boys protests in Portland with local authorities as well a federal ones.

I bet this guy isn’t nearly so credulous & lenient to a lot of other types of defendants. Interesting how gently he treats violent Nazis.

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 the Young Republican mixer Friday evening, a group of Nazis who openly identified as national socialists mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed so-called “race science” and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

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.

Just tried using #twitter * in the #firefox browser on #android and it is kind of crazy how much more functional it is than the app 😂 what a dogshit platform.

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. ​
