šŸ’ø Trump Sets Fraudster Free From Prison for a Second Time

NY Times

In 2021, a convicted fraudster named Adriana Camberos was freed from prison when President Trump commuted her sentence. Rather than taking advantage of that second chance, prosecutors said, Ms. Camberos returned to crime. She and her brother were convicted in 2024 in an unrelated fraud.

Imaginary fraud for 100 bucks by poor people: straight to jail. Real fraud for millions of dollars by people in power: come on in, the water’s lovely. Oh wait, I forgot, they are ā€œeliminating fraud and waste.ā€ Weird.

šŸˆ Trump Says He Will Sign Executive Order Giving Army-Navy Football Game an Exclusive TV Window

THR

It is not clear what the executive order will say, or what legal mechanism there is to enforce an exclusive broadcast window. FCC chairman Brendan Carr reposted Trump on Sunday, which is suggestive of the order being directed at his agency, which regulates broadcast TV stations.

So much for the free market. We already have state run media with Fox and CBS, might as well tell us what we can and can’t watch at this point.

šŸ«€ A Pregnant Woman at Risk of Heart Failure Couldn’t Get Urgent Treatment. She Died Waiting for an Abortion.

ProPublica

She wouldn’t. In a region that had legislated its commitment to life, she would spend her final days struggling to find anyone to save hers.

I admit, I’m a bit heated right now, and there are obviously a lot of parties at fault in the way this all went down, but if you voted for Donald Trump, you voted for a system that allowed/caused Ciji Graham and women like her to die.

Deaths that would be preventable in any country without barbaric laws that control women’s bodies. It feels like these people would rather let

šŸ¤– Elon Musk’s X Restricts Ability to Create Explicit Images With Grok

NY Times

It’s laughable it took this long.

The FBI and and anyone who has had their image created or depicted in an explicit manner should be going after Elon Musk, X, and use everything within their legal power to identify the people prompting Grok for these images and go after them using revenge porn and deepfake porn laws.

Only California, New York, and Virginia currently have deepfake porn laws on the books, but I’d still go hard after X as co-conspirators on disseminating revenge porn.

šŸ˜ž I can’t do this

Birchtree

I got into the irony of 2nd Amendment fanatics saying they needed gun for if the government sent masked men into their streets yelling, ā€œpapers pleaseā€, only to then cheer for those masked men when they did take to the streets.

Things have been quiet around these parts and I apologize for that. Life, holidays, work, and Foofaraw, have taken up a lot of time and the news as of late has just been devastating. We’re invading countries, have a secret police asking people for their papers, shooting unarmed citizens in the face, storming houses without warrants, racially
