It is not permitted to request jury nullification during a trial but it is permissible to discuss it abstractly. Jury nullification is the synthesis of two rules. First, the prosecution cannot appeal a jury verdict of not guilty. Second, a jury issuing a verdict of not guilty need not explain itself

Per video shared online, one of the East Side detainments this a.m. involved multiple ICE grabbing 2 men out of a car on 106th and S. Ave. C., with agents repeatedly grabbing one of the men by his head and neck. In the video, he can be heard calling for help and asking an onlooker to call 911.

if you begin feminist history at #MeToo then it's easy to despair that nothing has changed (or that some things have actually gotten worse). if you take a much longer view though things have changed so much! the little gestures we make today are adding up to something we can't see yet!

it’s not immediately clear how federal officials obtained the flock and pod data, but a lawyer involved in the case told the reader they didn’t believe the information was subpoenaed, indicating that local police likely turned it over voluntarily—or the feds already had access to it.

Side notes: 1. Greek life needs to be eliminated, at Cornell and at any other institution where it similarly displays these persistent, horrific issues. 2. Universities (Cornell is not alone) generally fail in disciplining rapists and other sex criminals. That needs to be addressed immediately.

This is not to distract from the condemnation that the fraternity members, the university, and the campus police deserve here. The noises being made by the legislature and governor of New York on finally revising the antiquated and misogynistic laws around consent need to become action now.

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

What I love about this and other videos like it from the mayor’s office is that they’re focused on New York City, its life, and its culture. Mamdani asks questions, listens, celebrates, and advocates. He’s a public servant. The video is about the Bronx and the importance of hip hop.
