Bad Bunny, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin Boost Kamala Harris After Trump Rally Speaker Bashes Puerto Rico as a ‘Floating Island of Garbage’

  • Are you including NASA's support of Jewish space lasers?

  • You certainly have a vivid imagination

    • Justice Department warns Elon Musk that his $1 million giveaway to registered voters may be illegal

    Jump

  • I don't know.

    If you posted on Lemmy, "Hey, America PAC is offering money to registered voters, go check it out!" then I think that would be protected speech. If so, it would be equally protected when Musk posts that on X.

    America PAC is on the hook, not necessarily their shills.

  • They have already demanded a halt.

    If they don't, they can stop the activity but it will require getting a judge to issue a restraining order or an injunction.

    The DoJ generally can't stop someone unilaterally. Even when they arrest someone, that person is immediately brought before a judge (habeas corpus) who decides whether they can go free before trial.

  • Yes, that's how prosecutions work.

    When someone is murdered, they don't put three people on trial and say "One of these must be the killer, but we can't figure out who. So we'll have to send them all to prison".

    But in this case, they do have another choice: prosecute the corporation instead of individuals.

  • The board is not collectively punished for the actions of a corporation. Prosecutors have to prove which individuals (if any) are criminally responsible, and often that's more difficult than proving that the corporation is responsible.

    They can't arrest a PAC.

    • Is Musk's $1m-a-day cash giveaway to US voters legal?

    Jump

  • Musk isn't giving everyone a million dollars. He's giving people lottery tickets, and they might be worth a million dollars but are far more likely to be worthless.

    You can buy such lottery tickets yourself, and they cost about the same as a cup of coffee.

  • There are lots of cafes that give free coffee to people wearing "I voted" stickers on Election Day. Is that illegal? Because it's basically the same thing.

  • She is going to Michigan literally the day after the Texas visit.

    Where she will be joined, for the first time, by Michelle Obama.

  • This is not a count, it's a poll of people who said they voted.

  • FWIW, studies have shown that voters are more likely to vote for a candidate they perceive as winning than one they perceive as losing.

    • US startup charging couples to ‘screen embryos for IQ’

    Jump

  • IQ is your performance on an IQ test. It's not subjective at all, for the same reason that SAT math scores are not subjective.

    The real question is whether SAT scores and/or IQ scores have anything to do with what we consider "intelligence".

    • It sure looks like Trump watches are breaking copyright law

    Jump

  • "When working for them" means "when they pay you". The point is that the corporation must financially compensate the artist. That's how copyright makes art into a livelihood.

    Without copyright, corporations can use art without ever paying the artist at all.

    • Kentucky man declared brain dead wakes up during organ harvesting

  • Once the heart stops beating, the organs fail. Including the heart itself.

    That's kind of the point of defining brain death. Normally death is declared after the heart stops beating. In brain death, the heart is beating but the brain is not receiving any blood.

  • She was caring for him for three years.

    You cannot be brain dead for three years. Brain death is legal death. Once you are declared brain dead, you are officially a cadaver and won't be going home. You are going to the morgue that day, with possibly a brief initial stop in the operating room if you're an organ donor.
