Unbelievable!

A pregnant teen lunch lady put a hit on a fourth grader, then her defense attorney argued that she should escape punishment because she was pregnant.

She ended up being sentenced to 7 days in jail.

Does anyone think a male black teenager wouldn't get more than 7 days for putting a hit out on an elementary school girl?

Would he have a lawyer arguing that he shouldn't be punished because his hormones were peaking as a teenager?

Please try Session, SimpleX, or Threema before deciding to stay with Signal (or WhatsApp).

They do a lot of things well, but when deciding things like this that could greatly improve the user experience I've found the Signal developers / leadership are not making good decisions.

> The first line of Colangelo's opening was, "This case is about a criminal conspiracy and a cover-up - Donald Trump corrupted the 2016 election." He said that it all began when Trump and Michael Cohen met with National Enquirer publisher David Pecker In August 2015 to suppress negative stories about Trump.

This is an election interference case! Despite so many people saying it's about "hush money" paid to a sex worker.

A reminder: there has never been an "accidental" use of nuclear weapons.

The idea that this can happen accidentally is not an idea that we should be spreading!

Whoever chooses to use these weapons, in the future, should be blamed for that decision, for all time!

Republicans have lost all credibility on the border issue!

However, they still advertise on that issue using quotes from propaganda rags mostly owned by the Murdoch family.

My idea was to confiscate Mar-A-Lago and convert it into a federal prison property. You could fill that land with the people Trump hired.

So many people mistake Donald J Trump for a leader. He is actually a follower!

This is what makes The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025, so freaking dangerous.

After hiring an entire administration of trained staffers, there is absolutely no way Donald will stand up to an entire cabinet or even an entire room of staffers that want to do terrible things.

He won't even be able to recognize the disaster he is agreeing to. Donald is not a details person.

Voters out in the "fly over" states who want to buy trucks and tractors that they depend on to do their jobs should be hounding their Congressional Representatives to support opening the port of Baltimore.

Anyone who buys anything from Europe, should also realize that closing the largest port on the east coast of the nation is not going to help their family budget.

Jimmy Kimmel made a fairly compelling demonstration for why banning TikTok isn't a bad idea.

People fighting to not ban tobacco because alcohol exists is what I've seen from some in the Democrat caucus.

Don't try to wish away Trump!

> The committee was incredibly diligent and meticulous in its approach to developing and corroborating evidence that shows the role President Donald Trump played from the day after the 2020 election until the fateful Jan. 6 debacle as he attempted to hold on to his job. It is an impressive literary work.

So, I noticed that the buttons in my home timeline changed.

Please make it in this order:

1. Left: Replies
2. Left: Share
3. Right: Boost
4. Right: Like
5. Right: Bookmark

This works best for me because the boost button can disappear without affecting the placement of the other buttons.

I use boost, like, and bookmark the most, so I want those grouped together. Is there any chance for a ⭐ instead of a ❤️ for likes? I really prefer stars.

It perplexes me how often arrogance and confidence are confused, or mistaken for each other, by people.

Arrogance:

Too much pride and claiming excessive consideration and/or control for yourself and too little regard and respect given for others.

Confidence:

Certainty - the quality of being reliably true. A fact that is definitely true or an event that will inevitably happen.

A firm trust in the certainty of someone or something based on abilities or qualities.
