Appeals Court Tells Texas to Remove Rio Grande Buoy 'Death Traps'
[the_ad id="30587"]

"Despite this small victory, the razor buoys are only a fraction of Gov. Abbott's racist and murderous Operation Lone Star," one group noted.

Quando fomos abduzidos para #sc brusque, os nossos algozes, talvez os mesmos covardes, fdp lá fora agora, pressionaram um membro da #family para nos pressionar a comprar um terreno, no nosso NÃO!

Os algozes mandaram, obrigaram ou fizeram o familiar sentir ou fingir dor de cabeça, pressão alta e até febre.

Quando decidimos pela compra do terreno, todas as doenças passaram, ou talvez pararam de o pressionar, a nos pressionar na comprar o terreno.

Eis que no cartório, observei que o valor acertado foi alterado para mais, disse-lhes: "não foi esse o valor que acertamos."

Os ADVENTISTAS da sétima ganância falaram-nos: "não podemos vender pelo valor que ontem acertamos!?"

Então disse-lhes: "muito obrigado pelo seu tempo", e nos retiramos, na rua a esposa falou-me da rapidez com que disse-lhes: "Adeus!"

Voltando para o bairro do Maluche de Brusque, eu e ela, lembramos e mui, muito falamos da sofrência e das maldades que fomos vítimas quando a diretoria do IPAC era ADVENTISTA, assim aquela atipicidade era normal, mas não era normal, EU NÃO!

Em casa, a desgraça da dor de cabeça e a pressão alta voltaram com força, mas 3 dias depois, numa manhã os ADVENTISTAS nos ligaram e falaram que venderiam o terreno pelo valor que havia sido acertado.

Lá nós fomos ao fórum de Brusque, mas os ADVENTISTAS queriam que pagasse o valor acertado, com um valor muito mais maior no documento, EU NÃO!

Para completar, no Bradesco, um caixa e o gerente exigiu-nos saber o objetivo fim do valor!?
🖕

Por fim, no verso do recibo, o fdp do caixa do Bradesco, escreveu de caneta vermelha "Kleber/IPAC"

Este era o nome de um dos ADVENTISTAS da diretoria do ipac.

Trump names the judge and law clerk from the NY civil fraud trial, also showing their faces, on his web site Truth Social. Whatever his motives, it's clear this is a direct threat of instigating violence against the judge and clerk. The 1st Amendment is not a suicide pact, nor a rationale for threatening officers of the court.

This strikes me as very dangerous.

Back to my #Trump #Fraud #Trial #Day4 🧵
The trial gaveled back in session after a lunch.

Trump’s lawyers argued w/ lawyers from the AG's office about the motion Trump's team plans to file for a #stay pending their #appeal. Trump's team said they have not filed yet, but plan to file in front of the First Dept of the #Appellate Div tomorrow. They refused to disclose the scope of the requested stay before Judge #Engoron, insisting that the motion will be presented to the AD1, not the trial #court.

#BioWare #GameDev #Court

On August 23 of this year, Edmonton video game studio BioWare ULC terminated 50 employees without cause. In most recent court cases of termination without cause, Alberta Courts have awarded at least one month of severance pay per year of service, with the full value of all benefits included; the severance that BioWare offered to these employees was significantly less than this amount. Several of those ex-employees attempted to negotiate with BioWare for adequate severance, but BioWare refused to increase its severance amounts. 
“In light of the numerous recent industry layoffs and the fact that BioWare’s NDAs prevent us from showing any of our recent work on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf in our portfolios, we are very concerned about the difficulty many of us will have finding work as the holiday season approaches,” said one of the terminated employees.
R. Alex Kennedy, counsel for the seven employees, says that BioWare may have included illegal provisions: “There are many situations where employers include termination provisions that are not enforced by the Courts,” he said, “and | think we see that in this case too. BioWare attempted to reduce its obligation to these employees well below what the courts typically award, including by eliminating benefits from its termination pay — that appears to be contrary to the Employment Standards Code.”

Things got off to a rocky start at #Trump's #NY #fraud #trial. Trump lawyer #AlinaHabba went on a rant about how the #court denied Trump a #jury trial, and how unfair it is. Judge #Engoron had to interrupt her to explain that the reason why there's no jury is that she herself forgot to submit the appropriate request for one. I'd call this #AmateurHour, but that would be an insult to amateurs.

(attending) The trial enabled #Trump to bring the #campaign to the courthouse steps, where he can deliver impassioned (B.S.) defenses & pointed attacks….

(In the courtroom) Trump sat mostly silent at the defense table, arms crossed & scowling, while occasionally rolling his eyes at the judge & yawning during… the proceeding. But (outside the #court) he came out swinging — on his way in, he told reporters that AG #James was out to get him because he is performing so well in the polls.

There is SO much going on in legal-land today what with the televised Trump trial and all.
If you want to see what attorneys and court reporters are saying about it all you could peek at the not-twitter #legal feed:

Pool photographers were allowed in the #court room for a few minutes to take #Trump’s photo. Reporter Susanne Craig (whose Pulitzer winning NYT articles exposed the extent of Trump’s #tax #fraud) is in the overflow room of the courthouse watching a live feed, which has a camera trained on Trump & his legal team. As soon as the cameras were in front of Trump, he clenched his jaw & cocked his head up & to the side. His face looked like the mug shot that resulted after his arrest in Atlanta.

#SCOTUS sides against #Alabama #Republicans on #VotingRights

Alabama flouted #court orders to propose its latest #CongressionalMap. State Republicans then wanted the justices' help.

But the #SupremeCourt decided against #AlabamaRepublicans ongoing quest to #discriminate against #BlackVoters while #litigation continues in the case.

The court issued the orders on Tuesday without noted dissents from any justices.

I think the English made a big mistake when they borrowed the word "disgorge" from the French.

Luckily, I'm not a lawyer, otherwise, I'd have a fit of giggles every time that word is used in court.

Mind the warning:

NOT FOR EASILY DISTURBED PEOPLE. IT IS PRETTY DISGUSTING! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

“The High Court has agreed to hear a joint challenge by green groups to the UK government’s updated net zero strategy, which was unveiled in March 2023 after the previous iteration was ruled to be unlawful.
The groups, Friends of the Earth, ClientEarth and the Good Law Project, will argue that the updated strategy does not go far enough to meet the UK’s legally binding climate targets as set out under the #ClimateChange Act of 2008.” #court #netzero #news #climate

Given past experience, I'm a sucker for a wrongful prosecution stories. Here's a pretty good one from the turn of the century.

Judd Legum reports today on the attempt of the North Carolina Judicial Standards Commission, packed with judges appointed by Republican chief justice Newby, to silence Supreme Court justice Anita Earls, the only Black woman on the court.

Her alleged misconduct? She has criticized the state Supreme Court for its handling of issues of racial and gender discrimination. So the court wants to make her shut up.

5. Why it matters that #coup #plotter #Ginni #Thomas was in contact with criminal defendant John Eastman.

While John Eastman claimed to have insights about what was going on at the #corrupt #Supreme #Court, he was also in communication with Ginni Thomas. Hmmm. 🤔
