A plurality of Americans think Trump's guilty verdict was correct but believe the hush money trial was politically motivated, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds. -- ABC

Oh, for fuck's sake. Politically motivated, my ass. You know what was politically motivated? Trump's business records fraud to keep news of his tryst with Stormy Daniels from sinking his 2016 Presidential campaign. https://breaking.iavian.net/article/365648

Trump's sentencing is July 11. Four days before the Republican National Convention.

#TrumpTrial Thurs 30 May 2024 ๐Ÿงต#Deliberations continue

Justice #Merchan says he believes that the #jury wants him to repeat a significant portion of the #JuryInstructions.

He will read pages 6-35.

Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.

Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.

    @GottaLaff Oh, for fuck's sake. War crimes are war crimes. Crimes against humanity are crimes against humanity.

    @GottaLaff I'm gonna vote for him no matter what, but he's engaging as dishonestly with the subject as any Republican would. Netanyahu != Israel, and a good leader would find a way to make that clear. Republicans are going to criticize him no matter what he does, so he may as well do the right thing.

    Weโ€™re letting Trump distract us from his corrupt, anti-climate agenda

    Donald Trump sat down with oil executives and told them that if he wins, heโ€™ll scrap a slew of President Bidenโ€™s clean energy and other environmental regulations they donโ€™t like
    โ€” as long as they raise $1 billion for him.

    The response? Crickets.

    Trumpโ€™s pay-for-play move was frequently described as
    โญ๏ธ โ€œtransactional.โ€ The right word is
    ๐Ÿ”ฅโ€œcorrupt.โ€

    Last weekend, at a rally in Wildwood, N.J., he pledged to halt offshore wind farms.
    All of them.
    Right away.
    โ€œWe are going to make sure that that ends on day one,โ€ Trump said.
    โ€œIโ€™m going to write it out in an executive order.โ€

    It was consistent with a remarkable statement he was reported to have made to the energy execs:
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œI hate wind.โ€

    No investigative reporting is required to see what Trump would do.

    His campaign website goes on and on about how he would โ€œstop all Joe Biden policies that distort energy markets,โ€ describing the presidentโ€™s approach as โ€œindustry-killing, jobs-killing, pro-China and anti-American.โ€
    ๐Ÿ‘‰The rightโ€™s propensity to deny climate change runs so deep that in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis and his fellow Republicans in the legislature have written their denial into law.

    Last week, as Anna Phillips reported in The Post, DeSantis signed a bill that removes most references to climate change in state laws and, for good measure, bans offshore wind turbines in state waters and weakens natural gas pipeline regulation.

    @cdarwin The problem is that SCOTUS, along with the many other gifts it has given us over the years, has made it almost impossible to convict someone for public corruption. Just Security had an article about this in April: https://www.justsecurity.org/94515/supreme-court-public-corruption-ethics/

    Thereโ€™s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and thereโ€™s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.

    The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.

    We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications โ€” @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler โ€” about why theyโ€™re investing in the open social web, what theyโ€™ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.

    @rticks
    I have questions: 1) What does Item 1 look like? For example, we could change the tax code to more strongly benefit nonprofits and the donors/subscribers who support them, but what else? 2) Who would do the ratings, and what are the odds that if it's, say, academics, that MAGAts would take the ratings seriously? 3) Re Item 4, when you say that politicians should "phase out" Agenda journalism, do you mean no longer talk to those outlets, or what? Thanks!

    Whenever I'm doing in-depth research for a piece of journalism, I always re-discover the amazing quality of nonfiction books

    A good nonfiction book is the most information-rich/dense piece of media on the planet

    The qualifier "good" being crucial here, bien sur

    But if it is good? Holy crap

    You hold in your hands the product of someone who spent years exploring a subject, and sifting for the absolute best data/stories

    Nothing -- no documentary, magazine piece, white paper -- can compare

    @clive Can vouch. Both chock-full of solid science and very engagingly written. Also a little sickening in places; for example, he devotes an entire chapter to how the Nazis developed artificial butter from ... coal.
