BREAKING: New reports suggest that the Pentagon may be preparing to deploy the 82nd Airborne Division to take part in a ground invasion of Iran. The Washington Post reports that this elite unit has been instructed not to participate in scheduled exercises, and is awaiting further orders. Will they be the first "boots on the ground" as Trump escalates the war with Iran to new heights?

A U.S. ground invasion would be absolutely catastrophic. Huge numbers of U.S. troops would die, unthinkable Iranian casualties would ensue, and the economic crisis would deepen. It would be just like George Bush's disastrous invasion of Iraq, but perhaps even more bloody. The U.S. public knows this — that's why Trump administration officials have lied about their intentions so insistently.

Now is the decisive moment. The people of this country need to take a stand before it's too late and Trump plunges us into yet another forever war in the Middle East.

Protests are taking place nationwide tomorrow as part of a powerful coordination day of action. Join a demonstration near you!

On the Joy Ann Reid Show, when asked by Wajahat Ali if he would lead the charge to "abolish ICE,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries plays dumb and refuses to give a straight answer.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Luigi Mangione will not face the death penalty if convicted of killing UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson, a federal court has ruled.

US District Judge Margaret Garnett dismissed the federal firearms charges against the 27-year-old that carried the possibility of the death penalty.

But she left in place stalking charges against him that can bring a maximum punishment of life in prison.

...

Jury selection in the federal trial is scheduled to begin on 8 September with opening statements due to start on 13 October.

But state prosecutors are seeking to try Mangione as soon as July.

In her ruling, Judge Garnett, a Biden appointee, said two of the four federal charges did not "meet the federal statutory definition of a 'crime of violence' as matter of law".

She noted that her decision was "solely to foreclose the death penalty as an available punishment to be considered by the jury".

Garnett's ruling was a setback for the justice department, which had called Thompson's murder a "premeditated, cold-blooded assassination".

The judge has given the government 30 days to challenge her decision ruling out the death penalty in the Mangione case.

In a win for prosecutors, Garnett said they could present evidence to the jury from Mangione's backpack that he had at the time of his arrest at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

Among the items in the bag were a gun, fake IDs and a notebook with writings that allegedly detailed Mangione's grievances against the US healthcare system.

Defence attorneys had sought to dismiss that evidence from trial, arguing that authorities obtained it illegally without a warrant.

Without knowing the methodology under which the analysis was done, we can't really say for sure, can we? Forensic identification can be done that identifies bullets to their manufacturers based on their unique elemental signatures for example. I'm sure the Iranian military is capable of performing such forensic investigations and would have familiarity with Israeli weapons compositions. But I'm just some guy on the internet, so who can say.

I don't think so. Who is going to over turn it, the Democrats? The Republicans?

fed They want violence so martial law can be declared. Sharing this article actually promotes their agenda.

How is this your outlook? I'm very confused.

[-] RedWizard@news.abolish.capital 7 points 2 months ago

In sorry, the idea that injunctions would prevent this is laughable. In many states the state police are directly collaborating with ICE. What procedure are you even imagining? You want the deportations so long as it's done so in a professional way? The legal system is dead, only it's ghost remains and this regime doesn't believe in ghosts.

This view provides an interesting detail. He walks around the car with the phone, documenting the plates and the bumper stickers, and then before he walks in front of it a second time (for what reason?) he switches the hand with which he is holding the phone to free up his right hand. In a video from another angle, you can see he starts reaching for his gun when she's still in reverse, or at least before she accelerates. So to me, it seems like he's performing the behavior that was mentioned in a 2013 paper on CBP use of force. In that report, they mentioned agents were standing in front of cars about to flee, and then shooting the drivers in frustration and then claiming self-defense. Here, Ross positions himself in front of a fleeing person (but just barely, so he can still step out of the way) and uses them hitting the gas as an excuse to use deadly force. The fact he says "fucking bitch" afterward and also flees the scene suggests he killed her with malice and knew it was unjustified.

Here is an article about the use of force paper from 2014 https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/us-border-agents-intentionally-stepped-front-moving-vehicles-justify-shooting-them/
