Killing of Elijah McClain

samedi 4 septembre 2021 à 02:00

Colorado has charged three thugs and two paramedics of killing Elijah McClain. They stopped him, injected him with ketamine, and put him in a choke hold. He never did anything that was grounds to bother him, but someone in the neighborhood called and said he was "suspicious".

It looks like Tunisia's president sent an exiled Algerian dissident back to Algeria for prosecution, without even a hearing.

*Women can continue working in Afghan government, say Taliban.*

If they put this into practice, it will confirm an advance that was only partially implemented by the previous government. However, the fighters they recruited may take out their fanaticism to stop this.

Without Roe v Wade

*It’s time to brace ourselves for a world without Roe v Wade. Here’s what we must do.*

Abortions in Texas

samedi 4 septembre 2021 à 02:00

The right-wing extremists on the US Supreme Court chose to do nothing as Texas prohibits abortion using a crushing new method that would put anyone who helps someone get an abortion in danger of bankruptcy.

The horror of this method is that you can't have a trial that would decide, once and for all, whether you committed a crime. You can't even call for a trial in advance to determine the answer. Instead you face an endless series of lawsuits from people that were not involved, which don't give you the safeguards of a criminal trial.

The use of this method amounts to nullification of the constitutional rights of the accused — for anything whatsoever. The method itself is tyranny, and it is supposed to be unconstitutional, but the US Supreme Court of today doesn't care.

I was not surprised they decided to allow prohibition of abortions, but I was shocked that they allowed this.
