Typically, filing a pro se petition in the Supreme Court is a near-hopeless endeavor. Cert odds are very tough as it is, but when you don't even have a lawyer, it gets even tougher.
But the Court did something interesting in this case, as it requested a response to the petition from Maryland. That definitely does not mean cert is guaranteed, but it is some indication that there is a modicum of interest from the Court to hear more about a petition.
Ms. Gardner was arrested in Maryland for carrying without that state's permit, but she did have a Virginia permit. Her story is a compelling one, and after the Supreme Court requested a response, we decided to support the petition with this brief.
Our brief begins with the story of Lloyd Muldrow, who like Ms. Gardner, was arrested in Maryland while carrying with only a Virginia permit.
But his facts are even more enraging, as he was arrested after an act of heroism for which he won a Carnegie Medal. As the news reported, "police thanked him, and then arrested him."
If each state can set its own burdensome carry permit process and refuse to honor the permits of all other states, as a practical reality they deny the right to carry for most interstate visitors, unless those visitors planned months ahead of their trip to get a carry permit.
This is not not treatment befitting a constitutional right.
"De 19-jarige Israëlische militair Noa Marciano is vermoord in het al-Shifa-ziekenhuis, stelt het Israëlische leger. Er is geen bewijs gepubliceerd om deze bewering te ondersteunen", schreef de @NOS in november 2023 (2/9). Volgens haar vader is zij door een arts vermoord. 1/9
"Er is geen bewijs gepubliceerd om deze bewering te ondersteunen", schreef de NOS dus. Als het Israëlische leger iets stelt gebruikt de NOS deze formulering vaak (of woorden van gelijke strekking). Zo een tekst zie je daarentegen zelden bij beweringen van de Palestijnse kant. 2/9
"Israël beweert (...) dat de 19-jarige Israëlische militair Noa Marciano is vermoord in het al-Shifa-ziekenhuis. Er is geen bewijs gepubliceerd om de claim te ondersteunen", schreef de NOS later die dag in een artikel. Een link naar dit artikel volgt later in deze draad. 3/9
Para enfrentar al fascismo de nuestros días es necesario conocer sus nuevas modulaciones, así como abordar la necesidad de reconstitución del Partido Comunista como núcleo dirigente en la estrategia antifascista.
Es por ello que lanzamos nuestra propuesta estratégica de lucha antifascista. En ella abordamos la mutación del fascismo en nuestros días, la cual se ha fusionado con el programa neoliberal para constituir una ofensiva total del capital sobre el trabajo.
El proceso de fascistización opera bajo el movimiento en el cual grandes partidos de ultraderecha institucionalizados como VOX o Rassemblement
National hegemonizan la ideología reaccionaria a nivel de masas, legado que es recogido por las organizaciones neofascistas callejeras.
Da Typen wie JD Vance, Elon Musk, Trump und Bob, der Nascar-Fan aus Alabama und einige Andere sehr ausgeprägte Meinungen zur europäischen Integration haben, kann man ja auch mal die uralte Frage stellen:
„Was hat die EU jemals für uns getan?“
Und hier hat @Daractenus beschlossen, sich einige der Länder anzusehen, die zuletzt beigetreten sind.
Anmerkung, kein Land ist vollkommen, ich kenne auch die Defizite, aber ich denke, die USA hat mehrere, viel mehr als Europa.
Seit seinem tragischen Beitritt zur Union im Jahr 2004 hat Polen es gerade einmal geschafft, sein BIP zu vervierfachen und das zu beginnen, was gemeinhin als „das polnische Goldene Zeitalter” bezeichnet wird – eine Leistung, die wahrscheinlich in keinerlei Zusammenhang mit den EU-Mitteln in Höhe von einer Viertelmillion Dollar steht, die das Land erhalten hat.
Seit dem Beitritt im Jahr 2007, als das Land bekanntlich weltweit "Spitzenplätze" in Sachen effiziente Regierungsführung und Lebensstandard belegte, stieg der Durchschnittslohn in Rumänien von einem Nickel und einem Lächeln auf etwa 1200 Dollar netto, wobei allein Bukarest mittlerweile ein größeres BIP hat als Serbien und Bulgarien zusammen.

This hadith doesn’t contradict the coming of the Messiah in the End Times
It simply shows that 30 dajjals — a finite number of false claimants — will appear before the true Messiah.
Muhammad ﷺ did not say ALL claimants of Messiah will be Dajjal.
2) ʻIyāḍ Ibn-Mūsā al-Ubbi (d. 827 AH)
500 years before Mirza Ghulam Ahmad AS
“This hadith has proven true, for if one were to count those who claimed prophethood from his time ﷺ until now, they would reach this number, and this is known to anyone who examines the histories.”
Bueno, se viene el clásico de los jueves: el hilo de planazos para el fin de semana en La Plata.
Metan like & retuit que arranco:
A veces dudo de seguir haciendo el hilo, pienso que si ya no se mueve como antes entonces no les interesa, no lo esperan, ni usan para sus planes del finde y después me cruzo con alguien como recién en el buffet de agro que me dice que el hilo le salva el finde y se me pasa.
Empiezo por un anticipo: el 20/12 Miraflores uno de los lugares que más quiero en la ciudad ¡aguanten los Vallejo! celebra su 7mo aniversario y tiene alta fiesta con banda en vivo y la put*ama dj, puestos de comida, sorteos. Planazo ya se los digo.
How Western journalists turn Palestinian terrorism into something sympathetic, inevitable – or Israel’s fault.
A new “feature” repeats every move in the playbook.
Keep reading.
⬇️⬇️⬇️
2/ The piece opens with a fiction: that Palestinian attacks were basically a reaction to Israeli incursions into West Bank towns during the Second Intifada.
Reality: terror attacks on Israeli civilians surged before, during and after that period – hitting buses, cafés, hotels, families.
The Guardian flips the timeline to soften the violence.
3/ Then we get this: Israeli communities are “illegal under international law.”
That’s false.
The US, for example, rejects that framing, many legal scholars dispute it, and only some small outposts are illegal – and Israel removes them.
But the Guardian needs the word “illegal” & suggests total agreement to set up its morality play.
A medical substance most people have never heard of is treating autoimmune disease, nerve injury, and even conditions doctors say are “untreatable.”
Better yet, it’s “very safe.”
That substance is DMSO.
Dr. James Miller says it works so well for so many things that it “seems unbelievable.”
Here’s what it’s helping patients recover from:
• Autoimmune disorders
• Chronic nerve inflammation
• Diabetic neuropathy
• Stroke-related disability
• Debilitating arthritis
• Vaccine injuries
• Chronic pain
• Cancer
• And even gastrointestinal disease, which affects over 20 million Americans.
What’s shocking is how consistently DMSO restores damaged gut tissue in conditions most doctors consider lifelong.
And if gut issues are part of your life, what DMSO can do to help deserves your full attention. 🧵
Living with a gastrointestinal disease isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a nonstop battle.
Flare ups strike without warning. Plans get cancelled. Pain, urgency, fatigue, and fear take over daily life with a moment’s notice.
Hospital stays become routine. Toxic medications and the resulting bills pile up. Poor nutrient absorption leads to additional struggles over time.
It’s a hidden burden millions of people carry, but the medical system barely acknowledges it. They just throw medicine at it and never bother getting to the root cause.
Even as cases of inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) continue to rise, the medical machine keeps repeating the same line: “We don’t know what causes it.”
That ongoing “mystery” happens to be very profitable.
Is the cause of IBD really such a mystery, or is it more profitable to kick the can down the road than it is to find the true cause and then the cure?
The answer is as easy as it is tragic. When the cause remains unknown, patients stay on expensive drugs—forever. Big Pharma wins. We lose. We’ve heard this story before.
NEW: Kathy Ruemmler, the top lawyer for Goldman Sachs, has escaped scrutiny for her ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
But she disparaged reporting on his abuse as "rehashed crap" & drafted a PR statement for Epstein denying he got a "sweetheart deal" cnn.com/2025/12/11/pol…
Let's dig in.
Epstein’s schedule reveals he was set to meet w/Ruemmler more than 50 times between July 2014 and May 2019 -- including for lunches and dinners with celebrities, apartment hunting, and personal beauty appointments.
Ruemmler and Epstein exchanged more than 100 emails.
Across the messages, Ruemmler emerges as a confidant and advocate for Epstein, at times helping him manage his public reputation following his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, our first on a non-human vatnik, we’ll talk about… Grok @grok. It’s best known for turning into Mecha-Hitler and Mecha-Putler and for defending its vatnik master, Elon Musk, at all costs, up to being willing to sacrifice the rest of mankind for him.
1/24
Let’s start with an introduction into how Large Language Models (LLMs) work, and the new “arguing with your toaster” phenomenon. LLMs like Grok are Artificial Intelligence (AI) but not the way we had imagined — a new form of intelligence that would somehow think like us.
2/24
Instead, LLMs are basically “guessing engines” and search engines trained on a massive dataset to give you the output you expect: they are imitating intelligence rather than being an actual intelligence. They’re chatbots generating responses pretending to be a helpful AI.
The chalukya descent Tuluva dynasty was a Shudra family - this is known from members of this family declaring themselves as belonging to Chaturtha gotra during the time of Achyutadevaraya (Krishnadevaraya's brother) in inscriptions at Tirupati.
(1/n)
The earliest record of the Tuluva clan is from Honnali in Davanagere district of Karnataka dated to about 1203 AD.
The Tuluva clan was a branch of the Saluva clan. Achyutadevaraya of the Tuluva family states he belonged to the "Saluva Raya Vamsha" (Saluva Raya Lineage) in inscriptions.
Saluvas were descendants of Kalyani Chalukyas. They claimed to belong to Chalukya vamsa in the Gorantla inscription. Interestingly even the Aravidu line of Vijayanagar was descended from the Chalukyas.!
Saluvas who ruled coastal karnatka are from kalyana Karnataka(north east Karnataka) they are not native of Mangaluru as shown by tulus.
