Tucker Carlson was making shit up, yet again:

There are also numerous cases of 1/6 victims who are literally accused of doing nothing more than that who are still in prison.

Name. One.

Prove it. Document your case; name names. Surely if it's so obvious that you learn it all by simply watching a video (and not all 50,000+ hours of footage), that won't be difficult.

As it stands now, it just looks like you've been duped by Tucker Carlson's propaganda.

You keep repeating this lie. Why?

Which means keeping track of things like that and following certain procedures.

Try finding any kind of accounting of the $11 billion Abbott has spent on 'Operation Lone Star'.

put 1000+ citizens in jail without trial for years for taking a selfie tour after the police held the doors open for them.

There are a huge number of problems with the criminal justice system throughout the US - coercive plea deals, excessive use of incarceration, using police as the only tool to solve social problems. It's a system built on both parties competing on who can punish more people, for an electorate that is easily scared by a constant drumbeat of news and political ads that are far from reality.

But do not claim that the Jan. 6 defendants are somehow getting a uniquely raw deal - that's completely contradicted by the facts. This is a group that consists mostly of people who can afford bail, and can afford lawyers. Because of that, a much higher percentage of their cases have gone to trial than the national average.

Yet they still were convicted. The thing that makes the Jan. 6 defendants unusual is that they videoed themselves, and then posted those videos on social media. They were easy to find on Youtube, and it was easy to prove they had indeed directly assaulted police officers or committed other crimes.

BTW, the median sentence was 60 days:

The Trumps lied about the square footage.

The Trumps lied about the rental income they were receiving.

The Trumps lied about almost everything, including what they had previously lied about.

This wasn't some simple disagreement over market valuation; it was willful, intentional, repeated fraud.

Intent does matter. So do other things.

The credit should go to the adviser that came up with the name 'Operation Warp Speed'. Trump thought the name was cool, and mostly left the project alone.

Compare and contrast that with how his administration handled PPE ramp-up, with Kushner using allocations for even more grifting, state governments literally bringing in armed guards to protect their shipments, and suppliers begging for contracts to be allocated so they could spin up production.

The scale does not change.

I have no idea where you are seeing a four-year time block. And you should read the footnote in the block around 16000 BCE.

The scale never changes; it just has more annotations in the last block. The sources are listed at the top right.

Now that is an ad hominem (unlike what is referenced here or here. The data is valid, even when it's presented in pen and ink.

In fact, that post is an example of very effective visual communication, and the result of several years of research.

They had higher water levels in 2022; mitigation kept it from being a bigger flood.

I appreciate that Slashdot ethos requires us to continually double down on our original points, but there's absolutely no context in which the violence exhibited by NYPD in that video could have been justified.

A senior officer (white shirt) literally smashed a car window with a kid's face. We shouldn't allow our police to get away with violence like that, but the NYPD is an almost ungovernable entity, so they probably will.

So no, you didn't watch the video.

Did you watch the video?

The kid who the NYPD pushed through the car window didn't do anything that could remotely be called resisting.
