Charleston church shooter's death sentence upheldA federal appeals court upheld the conviction and sentence of Dylann Roof on federal death row for the 2015 racist slayings of nine members of a Black South Carolina congregation. Fighting against racism is a waste of time: identity politics is only a bait by which capitalists hide and win class struggle. Yes, workers are racists and sexists but blame the labor market where you have to compete by all means, and against robots, to enrich the super-rich. Ok so get r done already! I'm thinking maybe one BK meal left.

Federal judge imposes sanctions on Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and other pro-Trump lawyersThe court found that the plaintiffs’ attorneys in the Michigan election fraud lawsuit filed it “in bad faith and for improper purpose.” Good… frivolous lawsuits are bad enough. Unsubstantiated wild lawsuits that damage the country and its faith in elections is a heinous crime unto itself. Throwing away your legal career for Donald Trump. They successfully undermined democracy at the behest of Donald Trump. They and he should receive the worst punishment available. Disbarment for them and massive, life altering fines.
