Sharing some highlights from today's decision in our Batalla case on this thread.
1) Court holds that @DHS_Wolf was not lawfully appointed as Secretary of DHS
2) That means the gutting of the DACA program by Wolf is invalid.
3) The court certified a nationwide class 1/
@DHS_Wolf What does this mean for current #DACA recipients and those eligible to apply?
--The memo making DACA renewals only 1 years instead of 2 years is invalid
--The memo saying that new applicants cannot apply for DACA is invalid
--Advance parole should be restored to 2012 terms

@DHS_Wolf What does the class certification mean?

It means that the court's order is NOT limited only to the named plaintiffs. Instead, the order applies to all people who are or will be eligible for DACA based on the terms of the program from 2012 (from the Obama Admin).

Yes, I’m at the millionmagamarch / stop the steal event. No, I don’t need to send live updates and “reports”from this relatively small sized right-wing dipshit convening.
Also, I’m gay and I run media matters (a target of hate among this crowd), and I will just say that I’m not terribly afraid while here because it’s basically just a lot of decaying white people. Truly.

The rot is palpable. That’s about as charitable a descriptor I can muster.
Sorry, one more comment, for a bunch of maleficent shells, proud boys spend so much effort to coordinate their outfits.

I get that it's a part of their fascistic lust. But still, the effort should be acknowledged, especially given it seems they have little else to be proud of

Covid-19: politicisation, “corruption,” and suppression of science | The BMJ

“The UK’s pandemic response relies too heavily on scientists and other government appointees with worrying competing interests, including shareholdings in companies that... bmj.com/content/371/bm…
... manufacture covid-19 diagnostic tests, treatments, and vaccines.17 Government appointees are able to ignore or cherry pick science—another form of misuse—and indulge in anti-competitive practices that favour their own products and those of friends and associates”.
I’ve occasionally questioned the sci judgement of people on SAGE. I’ve been around, and made, decisions potentially involving a billion dollars more than once. Never did I or anyone I worked with make a decision primarily to enrich ourselves. Anyone doing that invites jail.

“The unexamined life, said Socrates, is not worth living. That’s some serious shit. Most people wouldn’t want to examine that statement, much less their own lives.”

3/ "People consistently overrate their own skill, honesty, generosity, and autonomy…They chalk up their successes to skill and their failures to luck, and always feel that the other side has gotten a better deal in a compromise.”

I have heard this email thread created a hostile working and learning environment in the department described as "a cloud of despair."

Might need a thread about how diversity training rooted in Critical Race Theory/Social Justice "works."
dailyiowan.com/2020/10/27/ema…
"Diversity" training using Critical Race Theory and Critical Social Justice (henceforth: "diversity" training) is designed to create exactly the kinds of divisions and problems in an organization that are described here and that are truly "clouds of despair" and conflict.
Put more simply, "diversity" training is designed to create conditions for hostility, discomfort, polarization, conflict, and collapse in the institutions that use them. Whether intentionally or as a matter of night following day, they are designed to do this.

Monterey County's District Attorney Jeannine Pacione came out of a corrupt culture within unchecked the MCDA.

Pacione's predecessor's former boss, Bill Curtis, was told to step down and two State investigators came to Monterey County with a two inch file on Curtis.

Bill Curtis was insulated for a time by Edwin Meese, the corrupt US Attorney General for the United States of America.

Curtis was able to keep some cases from investigation because of that cozy relationship.

When a clean CA Attorney General, John Van de Kamp

came in, in 1983, it didn't take him long to see how bad things were in Monterey County.

That is when Van de Kamp sent his men down here to MoCo. They told Bill Curtis the bad news. Step aside or be prosecuted. "tap tap on the two inch file".

If you’re wondering what’s the Indian R&AW handler telling BLF’s Dr Allah Nazar in this audio released by #DGISPR today, let me explain:

DAN is told:

-Don’t antagonize other Indian sponsored terror outfits
-If you mess with them we can’t help you.
-Stay safe or you’re dead.

/1
Now the question is who’re they:

They’re other Indian sponsored terrorist outfits headed by renegade tribals, hence valued more by Indian intelligence.

DAN is the founder of the banned BSO-Azad org & uses student orgs as a recruiting tool for carrying out terror activities.

/2
First of the other is Harbiyar Marri, head of BLA, who uses criminal elements of the Marri tribe for carrying out terror activities.

It's what I've been going on and on and on and on and ON about for years now. Passive eugenics. It's been baked into our immigration discussion by genocidaires from the get-go, because they grabbed control of the discourse early on. You have been lied to. We all have.
"Passive eugenics" is a philosophy championed by the guy who started the movement that took over the American immigration discussion in the 1970s after he read that execrable book, "The Population Bomb." He decided that the world was overpopulated. But only by certain people.

Remember the 2019 Kentucky Derby? In the heat of excitement, media called the race for Maximum Security, deemed pre-race favorite…but disputes were submitted to the judges, who disqualified him & Country House is the horse that holds the 2019 title & wears the garland of roses. Image
Media can “call” races all they want. It’s officials and judges who decide them. @realDonaldTrump and team are raising disputes in a public forum, yet media (mass & social) persist in circular confirmation to promote the narrative that #CoupPuppet Biden is the undisputed winner.
It’s a deliberate strategy typical of yellow journalism. But circular confirmations in journalism have existed in the US since at least the 1830s. Image
