🚨 THE COMMITTEE TO REVISE THE PENAL CODE? MORE LIKE THE COMMITTEE TO DISMANTLE IT. CALIFORNIA — SPEAK UP TOMORROW! California’s Committee on Revision of the Penal Code is considering a letter urging Governor Newsom to issue a BLANKET COMMUTATION OF EVERY DEATH SENTENCE IN CALIFORNIA. That’s 563 convicted murderers whose death sentences were imposed by juries and judges. Their justification? Homicide rates are down. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What on earth do today’s homicide rates have to do with the horrific murders committed by these killers? NOTHING. Tell that to the parents who buried their children. The families of murdered police officers. The loved ones of victims who were raped, tortured, kidnapped and slaughtered. Lower homicide rates don’t erase their crimes. They don’t erase the verdicts. And they certainly don’t erase the victims. This committee was created to revise California’s Penal Code — not dismantle justice, disregard juries and silence victims. 📢 TOMORROW, OCTOBER 27, AT 1 PM — MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! The committee will discuss the proposed blanket commutation and take public comment. 📞 Call: 669-444-9171 Webinar ID: 818 7106 1684 Meeting agenda and Zoom link: clrc.ca.gov/CRPC/Meetings/Ag… California voters have repeatedly upheld the death penalty. Victims’ families deserve justice, not another bureaucratic assault on finality. SHARE THIS. CALL IN. SPEAK UP. VICTIMS’ VOICES MATTER. THEIR LIVES MATTERED.

It’s good for everyone that women’s rights proponents in the past changed laws such that women could own property, have their own bank accts, etc. That is what “feminism” means to me. The legal playing field was made even. All the rest of this stuff where men are “bad,” and marriage and kids is some kind of prison, and subscribing to crazy ideas is not any type of feminism to me. It’s rather resentment, insecurity, and mental instability. There’s no “either you become a devoted housewife and mother and eviscerate your personality and personal hopes and dreams” or “be single your whole life and never have kids and be a ‘boss girl’ and hammer your career.” Those are just silly reductions to some cartoon characters. Of course you can marry and have children and hold very satisfying jobs and have a husband whom you love and support, as he loves and supports you. You can have children while pursuing things that professionally interest you. These things aren’t “sacrificing your freedom.” That’s silly. They are elements of life that enrich you. They are avenues of experience that bring you closer to a really full picture of who you are, for both the man and the woman. Don’t believe people saying it’s got to be one way or the other. It’s just nonsense.

Why did everyone stop posting about the SAVE Act? So RINO Thune and @SenateGOP succeeded in denying the will of voters on both sides of the aisle? That's it? @POTUS @VP

Je crois qu'on ne mesure pas ce qu'Elon Musk est en train de construire avec X. Tous les médias de l'histoire ont été couplés à une culture, une langue, une bulle géographique. Le Monde parle aux Français. Le NYT parle aux Américains. NHK parle aux Japonais. Chaque média filtre le réel à travers le prisme de sa culture locale. X est en train de devenir le premier média de l'humanité. Pas d'un pays. De l'espèce. Je le vis en temps réel. Mes posts en français se font RT par des Japonais, répondre par des Brésiliens, citer par des Américains. Des conversations qui n'auraient jamais existé il y a 5 ans. Un libertarien français qui débat avec un ingénieur de Tokyo et un entrepreneur de Sao Paulo sous le même tweet. Pas traduit par un éditeur. Traduit instantanément par l'IA, en un clic. Les bulles de filtre culturelles sont en train d'exploser. Et je pense qu'on sous-estime massivement les effets composés de ça. Quand une idée peut traverser un océan en 3 secondes, quand un argument sourcé posté à Paris peut être vérifié par un économiste à Singapour et amplifié par un développeur à Austin dans la même heure, le coût de propagation d'une bonne idée tend vers zéro. Et c'est catastrophique pour un type d'acteur très précis : les médias qui ont construit leur business model sur le monopole de l'information locale. Ceux qui pouvaient raconter n'importe quoi sur "ce qui se passe ailleurs" parce que personne ne pouvait vérifier. Quand un journaliste français écrit que "le modèle américain ne marche pas", maintenant il y a 50 Américains dans les réponses avec des sources. Quand un éditorialiste dit que "le Danemark prouve que le socialisme fonctionne", il y a un Danois qui explique que le Danemark est 10e en liberté économique mondiale. Le fact-checking n'est plus un département. C'est un effet réseau. Les médias honnêtes n'ont rien à craindre de ça. Les médias qui vendaient une narration protégée par l'ignorance géographique de leur audience vont avoir un problème existentiel. Parce qu'on ne peut plus mentir à l'échelle locale quand le monde entier regarde.

Hey, all. I usually don’t ask anything of my friends on X, even my website is free. But if you could post this link to your X followers, it could make a big difference. Thank you in advance! jameswoods.lnk.to/NoTomorrow…

I used to go to NYC every year at least but since you gave away all the hotel rooms to illegal immigrants, allowed the subways to become unsafe, and generally let crime run rampant, I've been spending my money elsewhere. What a shame.

All the nasty, vicious replies here are interesting. It may just be typical trolls, but if it were my city, I'd say "things have gotten better" or "please know the reports you are hearing are inaccurate, give it a try." Instead they spew toxic hate. I know it's X and being rude is a schtick ("ooh, sick burn" 🙄), but wow. I'm glad my NYC friends don't act like that and reinforce negative stereotypes.

Folks, new scam going around - people are receiving a text claiming their party affiliation has 'expired' and if they don't click the link included within the hour they won't be able to vote in November. Please, do not click the link. Please, let your family members know.

Warning: @Honda has a problem with peeling paint on door handles and side view mirrors that they aren't making right. Lots of complaints online of the exact issue I'm experiencing. Both the dealership and American Honda told me too bad, car is out of warranty. Unless you want to pay out of pocket for new paint after a few years, don't buy a Honda. I've had several Hondas but this is the last one I'll ever own. Please RT to warn others.

Great article/writing @Jee_vuh "It's to lap up words like "freedom" and "justice," which are fired from the stage like out of a T-shirt cannon to applause." theweek.com/articles/786219/…
