Or because of the American bail system, can’t afford to pay 10% as essentially a fine.
Depends on the state. Illinois eliminated cash bail in 2023. You’re only held pending trial if you’re a threat to the community or a flight risk (to be determined at a hearing by a judge). A few other states have made changes to their bail laws to reduce the number of arrestees who are required to post cash bail as well.
Oh no, I guess it’s impossible for that to ever change.
Good thing you can add extensions from places other than the store.
If they can’t get that simple distinction correct, what does that say about the rest of their reporting?
Different federal circuits have ruled in different ways on these matters. Considering the current SCOTUS’ “interesting” interpretation of concepts like bodily integrity and immunity, I stand by my statement that constitutional rights and protections for non-citizens within the US is not a settled matter of law.
Was that the original title? Because that’s not a revolver.
Edit: Ah the latter part is the subtitle, and it does say “revolver.” Good job, “journalist.”
Any of the rest of us …
I think you have answered your own question.
Social psychological theories suggest two necessary conditions for people to feel included. First, they need to simply belong to the larger group — as
white people, men and Christiansracists in U.S. society do. Second, they need to feel that theiruniqueracist backgrounds are respected and appreciated within the larger group. Hence, people may feel excluded from a group when they feel unseen or disrespected for their racist backgrounds even if they belong to the group.
Most often the electoral vote follows the popular vote. There has only been twice in history when it didn’t.
That’s not what’s happening here.
All of this is the Republican party dissolving. The “old guard” GOP is splitting from the MAGA-fascists, explicitly and publicly, not just in whispers behind closed doors or off the record and anonymously.
Imagine if the Republican party had split like this two years ago, actually forming up and running a “third party” candidate (I put that in quotes, because in this hypothetical, there would definitely be a fight about whether Trump or the postulated “old guard” candidate would be the “third party” one) in addition to Trump and (at the time) Biden. Splitting the vote like that would have the same effect, putting a Democrat back into the office of President, unless the combination would end up with no candidate reaching 270 electoral votes.
The same thing is essentially happening now, except there’s no third party. Instead of fielding their own candidate, that old guard is throwing in behind Harris. The message being sent is “That’s how bad we think Trump is, so bad that we’re endorsing the Democrat.” It’s permission for life-long Republicans - who have been well-taught to stay in line behind R candidates - to reject fascism.
Of course the Democratic party is going to support and amplify the GOP falling to pieces, and rejecting fascism is a good thing.
Well, it’s roughly based on population, but the inclusion of two electoral votes for each state “just for being a state” tips the scale in favor of voters in less urban, more rural states.
Too late, you’re still a Nazi.

Garland should never have been AG.
Garland was supposed to be a SCOTUS justice, blocked by McConnell, et al. When he was appointed AG, he exercised great caution to ensure that nothing he did had the appearance of “revenge” or selective prosecution. That behavior is absolutely necessary, but it wouldn’t have been if it wasn’t Garland as AG.
Have you met SCOTUS?
