“Franconi’s Pizza has been owned and operated by fascist Tony Franconi for two decades. Franconi, who is proud of his nazi beliefs…No one has taken responsibility yet for the alleged bomb threat, but it’s obvious the community will tolerate nazis or their supporters in NJ.”

In what #NewJersey officials say is the largest environmental settlement ever won by a single state, chemical giants #Chemours, #DuPont & #Corteva agreed on Monday to pay New Jersey $875 million over the next quarter-century to settle claims linked to #pollution from so-called “forever chemicals.”

The New York Times · Chemours, DuPont and Corteva Settle $875 Million New Jersey PFAS ClaimsBy Hiroko Tabuchi

Let’s go New Jersey! It sounds like a progressive candidate for the Senate would get overwhelming support from voters. A current #NJ senator just decided to send *even more* tax money to the apartheid state committing genocide, while we struggle with our bills? Unacceptable

Yeah it’s wildly gross and I hope the average person in New Jersey is better than this. Who will primary him?

This is a really horrible story.

The aide, Kevin Tomafsky, 43, former aide to #NJ Gov. Chris Christie agreed to a plea deal that could put him in prison for ten years after admitting that *he paid the 6yo girl's father* to engage in a sexual act with her.

Which adds an even more horrific dimension to an already horrifying case: how many other times did the father rent his child out for sex? And did he also sexually abuse her?

10yrs =/= long enough

Hell yeah

#LawFirm #Milbank cuts Katyal’s $3,250 rate in defending #NJ cities against #Trump

Prominent lawyer #NealKatyal of law firm Milbank will charge a sharply REDUCED hourly rate & not his standard $3,250 as he helps to defend 2 #NewJersey cities sued by Trump’s admin over their #immigration policies, acc/to a contract obtained by Reuters.

Milbank's lawyers, including #Katyal, will each charge $300/hour—to be split evenly by #Newark & #Hoboken….

What happens if you don't want to change for the good. If you want to keep going as usual.
Those once in a 500 years events, will happen every year [twice]. And it will not be "the new normal" because the one thing you'll know for sure is that the next will be worse !
And for a reminder: every hesitation or delay will make the defense costlier and less possible. You can't bomb floods. The US will be last in know how, research and experience, for being foolhardy.
It's your way of life... stupid.
That's the problem with you Americans.
You don't have a critical opinion of your own. You're not finding out for yourseleves, you won't learn, you just listen to what the [entertaining] news is telling you. And even then you can choose what network to believe.

Storytelling Project Enlists Theater in Fight Against Climate Change

Two years ago, Princeton University announced The Next Forever, an effort to tackle climate change by combining professional theater with the sciences and arts on campus. This spring, the first two public events of the three-year pilot project took place in Princeton

"As explained in our amicus brief, disclosure is necessary to ensure criminal prosecutions are based on accurate evidence. Every search using face recognition technology presents a unique risk of error depending on various factors from the specific FRT system used, the databases searched, the quality of the photograph, and the demographics of the individual. Study after study shows that facial recognition algorithms are not always reliable, and that error rates spike significantly when involving faces of people of color, especially Black women, as well as trans and nonbinary people.

Moreover, these searches often determine the course of investigation, reinforcing errors and resulting in numerous wrongful arrests, most often of Black folks. Discovery is the last chance to correct harm from misidentification and to allow the defendant to understand the evidence against them.

Furthermore, the public, including independent experts, have the right to examine the technology used in criminal proceedings. Under the First Amendment and the more expansive New Jersey Constitution corollary, the public’s right to access criminal judicial proceedings includes filings in pretrial proceedings, like the information being sought here. That access provides the public meaningful oversight of the criminal justice system and increases confidence in judicial outcomes, which is especially significant considering the documented risks and shortcomings of FRT."
