Illinois judge who reversed rape conviction removed from bench after panel finds he circumvented law
  • It's so considerate of them to make sure he can't continue taking payouts from wealthy patrons to undermine laws.

    Maybe if we ask really nicely and say please they'll consider giving him a firm slap on the wrist.

    Corrupt public officials should face the death penalty, not the loss of their job.

  • Trump Tells Right-Wing Christians They Will Have Power at 'Level You've Never Used Before'
  • It's shocking that people haven't gotten to the conclusion yet. We cannot coexist with conservatives, they will never work in favor of a healthy society. Start backing the solution or prostrate yourself for the orange god.

  • Lemmy is not immune to trolls, bad fait actors or propaganda - in fact, despite how bad reddit is, a lot of Lemmy instances are worse
  • I don't understand the lemmy but it seems like a big problem with social media platforms are them seemingly acting as a natural monopoly.

    Once people are on a specific platform and posting, then even if the platform falls behind or the individuals in power start acting in egregious ways the inertia is enough to keep them going for a very, very long time as the shock of leaving the platform costs an individual user far more than putting up with the stale progress and bad behavior.

    Having the 'content' detached and free, accessible to all would seemingly solve this issue. AFAIK lemmy still keeps content proprietary? Just on a decentralized system. Maybe the next step is mandating module[?] transparency for incorporation into the federation.

    Or I could be completely wrong and this already happens?

  • Nex Benedict's mom raises doubts about police statements: It's a "big cover"
  • Accountability needs to stop being optional.

    Any public official who lies to the public willingly needs to be given the death penalty. All of the officials who refused to act on credible reports should be tried with negligent homicide.

  • Some Republicans are voicing doubt over Alabama IVF ruling. Democrats see an opportunity
  • Ignore the terrorists distractions and start going after them.

    Maliciously abuse the law in every way imaginable and start trying to strip every conservative right possible. Taking the high road is a losing strategy, start going for their throats.

  • Mike Huckabee: if Trump doesn't win, 2024 will be last election "decided by ballots rather than bullets" | Boing Boing
  • We can only hope. America needs to get rid of some of these animals to start functioning.

    Rebuild the senate and stop basing the seats on random map lines. Make voting mandatory so there's no incentive to disenfranchise voters. Replace FPTP and stop letting corporations sponsor politicians.

  • The younger voters need to band together, take political power then strip all rights and entitlements from the elderly. They've plundered for far too long with no consequence. This is our last chance before they burry themselves with their ill gotten gains and leave us with nothing but active fires.

  • In Turkey, women must wait 300 days before they remarry
  • I only superficially agree with this take because of the many cultural implications of marriage. E.G. Kids, housing, money. Decisions that
    may carry serious implications and cannot easily be undone should not be rushed into.

    With that said, marriage is not a prerequisite to any of these potentially problematic aspects of relationships, which makes the entire idea of the restriction-by-association a bit silly. Especially because it is not placed on 'new' relationships, merely on the the transferring of relationship statuses in a very particular manner.

    I think marriage itself is a bit of an antiquated institution that needs a modern re-work to better fit it to societal needs.

    I fully support the current marginal waiting periods for marriage licenses because I feel like this minor barrier does not meaningfully inconvenience the vast majority but may prevent cases of abuse or caprice.

    TL:DR - Liberalism and guardrails.
