“In a 6-to-3 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that border agents may unconstitutionally enter a person's home without a warrant and assault him and ... federal courts are powerless to do anything about it. The border, once again, is a Constitution-free zone.”
“60% of the population of the United States just lost any constitutional protections against warrantless assault or home invasion by armed agents.”

In a landmark decision, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has today ruled that climate change violates the right to respect for one’s private and family life.
The case was brought by an association of older Swiss women concerned about the impact of global warming on their health, who claim the Swiss government is not taking enough action.
The ECHR ruled by 16 judges to 1 that the KlimaSeniorinnen (Swiss Elders for Climate Protection) were subject to a violation of Article 8 as well as (unanimously) Article 6 - the right to a fair trial in their country.
“While we do not have all the details yet - this decision is historic!” writes Sébastien Duyck, senior attorney at the Center for International Environmmental Law. “The Court has found the petition admissible and finds a violation of the rights of the Klimaseniorinnen both on process and on the substance!”
Two other climate cases - brought by a former French mayor, and six Portuguese youth - were found to be inadmissible, however.

Amity park/ghost zone vs justice leagues legal battle
So the JL look into amity park and find out through social media that, they werent messing with them, they are legitimately being attacked on the regular by ghosts.
They decide to help, so they do the whole superhero thing show up, and say there here to get rid of all the ghosts.
What they didnt expect was for the town collectively turning and yelling at them to the point where they had to leave.
They try and ask around and get told that their questions are going to be answered by someone called red huntress.
It did not go well
Over the course of the ghost attacks, a ghost called phantom started protecting the people of amity park and how that their protective about him. They couldnt get anymore information.
They keep coming back and keep getting kicked out to the point that one day they get 2 files on there desk.
One from amity park: a cease and decist, negligence, trespassing, abuse of power and intent to harm
And one from the ghost zone: intent to harm
Now the JL are in a court case against the ghost zone and amity park, they thought itd be easy to win, oh how wrong they were

With late night comedy on hiatus because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, one replacement could be people making vids of themselves reading transcripts of Trump's lawyers and comments of his spokespeople.
We don't have to wait for the actual trial for the craziness of Trump's legal case to show through.

Jonathan Majors Assault Charge: Facts vs Opinions
There has been so much conflicting information in Jonathan’s Majors’ case that it’s impossible to make any solid conclusions. These are the only facts that we know: Majors was arrested on March 25th, and has been charged with Harassment and Assault, an order of protection has been granted to the women involved, he was released from custody without bail, and a hearing has been scheduled for May 8th. Everything else is speculation and information we have received from external sources:
According to the Police, the 911 call was made around 11 AM inside an apartment in Manhatten. A 30-year-old woman was taken to the hospital with minor injuries to her face and neck. She told police that Majors struck her in the face causing a laceration behind her ear and that he put his hands around her neck causing bruising and redness. Majors was arrested immediately.
TMZ reported through their own sources that the victim was Majors’ girlfriend, and they were on their way home from a bar in a taxi when they got into an argument. Apparently, she confronted him about texting another woman and tried to look at his phone. This allegedly caused him to get angry and grab her hand, slap her, and put her hands around her neck. It was reported that they both spent the night apart and she called 911 the next morning.
Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, is claiming they have obtained two written statements from the victim recanting her statement to police as well as witness testimony and video footage from inside the vehicle where the incident supposedly happened. They claim that they have sufficient proof that Majors is innocent and expect the charges to be dropped. They also claim the woman was hospitalized due to an ‘emotional crisis’ and that police are required to make an arrest in these situations.
ABC7 reported that Majors was the one who called 911 over concerns regarding his partner and when the police arrived, they noticed the visible marks on the woman which lead to his arrest. When the news of his arrest was made public two people in the entertainment industry posted on Twitter their thoughts on Majors’ character and reputation:
AB Allen, who is apparently a personal assistant to a director that works for Netflix, had posted in February that there is an unnamed actor that is a “vicious, cruel, abusive human being, both professionally and in his personal life”. After the arrest on Saturday, Allen confirmed suspicions that he was talking about Majors. Since then Allen has made his account private and does not want to give any details regarding his claim to avoid exposing anyone who has been hurt.
Tim Nicolai, an actor, had also tweeted that Majors has been a well know ‘sociopath and abuser’ in the Yale and NYC acting community for years. When he was asked why he had not brought it up before the arrest he claimed he needed a victim to come forward first and claimed he knows people who have been personally harmed by Majors, but it is their choice to speak on it. Nicolai has since deleted the tweet and made his account private.
So, this is all the information we have so far and likely all we will have until May 8th when he appears in court. Now, I would like to give my thoughts on this whole situation since the initial shock has worn off. I want to start off by saying I have been a massive fan of Jonathan Majors since Lovecraft Country was released in 2020. I have seen nearly all his films, watched countless interviews, made fan edits on TikTok, written fan fiction about his Marvel character, and more. When this news came out, I was devastated. However, my opinions on this case are completely neutral.
I believe women when they say they have been abused. There are more instances of abuse that go unreported than there are false accusations. However, there are times when allegations should be questioned. It has been speculated that Jonathan Majors’ girlfriend is white. Historically there has been a pattern of white women weaponizing their tears or emotions against people of colour. The ‘damsel in distress narrative is prioritized in our white supremacist culture. Sometimes this can be done unconsciously by white women using their privilege of having their emotions come before another. It can also be used to minimize accountability, deflect blame, or inflict harm. If it is true that he was having relations with other women, or that he was trying to break up with her, then it is possible she could have weaponized her tears out of spite and jealousy. But this does not explain her injuries, and it’s unusual to see self-inflicted strangulation marks.
There is also the case to be made that Jonathan Majors’ encounter with police could have been impacted by the fact that he is a young black man. Would he still have been arrested in this case if he was a white celebrity or would they have waited to press charges until they had proven the victim's claims? On the other hand, the visible injuries on the victim do seem like enough evidence to arrest him on the spot.
I have questions about where and when the alleged assault occurred as well. It was reported that it occurred on the taxi ride home and they both went their separate ways that night. It is not unusual for victims to wait hours or days before coming forward, and the reasons to not come forward would be amplified if your abuser was a rising star in Hollywood. However, the reports have suggested that Majors himself was the one who called emergency services. This raises the question that if he was there with her when the 911 call was placed, and the defence has video from the vehicle that shows he did not harm her en route, how can they prove the assault did not happen later after they had exited the taxi?
Also, they have mentioned that they have written statements from the victim where she has recanted that he assaulted her. We must question the validity of these statements as it is not uncommon for victims to recant their allegations even if they were abused; whether it be out of fear of harm coming to themselves or their loved ones, forgiving their abuser or being blinded by love, bribery or being ‘paid off’, or sympathy for the abuser and not wanted to see them prosecuted. Plus, when the defence, attorney stated that the victim was hospitalized due to an “emotional crisis” it can sound like they are trying to make her look ‘crazy’ to invalidate her initial claims, and again, this does not explain her injuries.
It seems that most people online have already come to their own conclusion on this case. The accusations on Twitter cannot be taken as fact either. Both accounts came from white men who only brought it up after the arrest was made public. While they could hold some fact, no other actual accusations of abuse have come forward by anyone other than the hear-say of the two deleted tweets.
People have also been quick to defend Majors’ innocence and claim that his name has been cleared based solely on the statement written by his lawyer. That is her job, to claim her client is innocent. We cannot use her statement as fact. They claim they have evidence proving his innocence but until that evidence is released, we cannot know if it’s true.
The US Army has already removed an ad campaign that features Majors until we know more about the situation. No information has become available yet on how these allegations will affect Majors’ career with Disney/Marvel as Kang the Conqueror. We know he is supposed to be starting in Loki season 2, set to be released later this year, and the show has already finished filming and is in post-production. Disney has an extremely strict morality clause and actors have been fired from their projects in the past for much less. Even if the allegations prove to be false, Disney may not keep him on. Majors also started in a recent film called Magazine Dreams which was screened earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. His role in this film has generated Oscar buzz and was recently set for a December theatrical release date. He also recently worked with Michael B Jordan on Creed III, and they had mentioned in multiple interviews that they wanted to continue working together on future Creed projects. Majors and Jordan even presented an award together at the Academy Awards recently.
I will be waiting until at least May 8th to come to my own conclusion on this case. Which is what we all should be doing. We simply do not know enough facts to decide if he is innocent or guilty. I hope they will release all the evidence to the public, including the video footage and statements, as I do not trust the legal system against a young black man, if they were to just give us the verdict without evidence to support it. Either way, I truly hope that whoever is telling the truth in this case, whether it be the victim or Jonathan Majors, gets the justice they deserve. His reputation has been stained forever and the situation is incredibly sad no matter which way you look at it, and we may never know the whole truth.
If anything, this has taught me a personal lesson. Celebrities are real people, with flaws. We can watch every role they have played, every interview and fan interaction, meet them at cons, write about them, and have our own ideas about who they are in our minds. But we only see who they want us to see, it’s an act and the characters they play are not real. Unless we know them in real life, we cannot honestly know them as a person. Even if Majors is completely innocent in this scenario, this has been a huge wake-up call for me not to be affected by famous people in general. Your favourite celeb could commit a heinous crime, or even pass away due to illness or accident. Your life should not be negatively affected by people who don’t even know who you are. Focus on yourself, admire celeries from a distance, but never make simping for a famous person a part of your identity. There is even a medical term named Celebrity Worship Syndrome which can have a number of negative effects on a person’s mental health.

Rapper Blueface Sentenced in Las Vegas Shooting Incident: Controversy and Consequences
In a recent turn of events that has sparked controversy and debate, rapper Blueface, whose real name is Johnathan Jamall Porter, found himself facing legal consequences for an October 2022 shooting incident that occurred outside a Las Vegas strip club. The incident unfolded after an alleged exchange of words between Blueface and a man identified as Kentavious Traylor.
According to reports, the altercation escalated when Traylor made a comment that was perceived as a joke about the famous rapper. In response, Blueface resorted to violence, firing a gunshot that ultimately grazed Traylor's left hand. This incident left both individuals and the public in shock.
In a courtroom decision that has raised eyebrows, a judge sentenced Blueface to a suspended sentence of 24 months, with a potential maximum sentence of 60 months for his involvement in the shooting. The leniency of this judgment has fueled a heated debate about the fairness and consistency of the legal system.
Kentavious Traylor, the victim in this case, expressed his disappointment with the sentencing outcome. He remarked, "I know people who get more time for stealing bubblegum. I'm just completely disappointed in all of this."
This case serves as a stark reminder of the complexities within the legal system and the various factors that can influence sentencing outcomes. It has ignited conversations about the consequences of violent actions, celebrity privilege, and the need for reforms within the criminal justice system.
As the story continues to unfold, it raises questions about the responsibilities of public figures, the impact of their actions, and the justice that should be served when individuals are involved in criminal incidents. The debate surrounding Blueface's case underscores the broader societal discussions surrounding accountability, fairness, and the pursuit of justice.

The High Court of Australia has been asked to consider whether Northern Territory public housing tenants should be able to sue their landlord for distress and disappointment over a failure to carry out repairs.
Two public housing tenants from the remote Central Australian community of Santa Teresa, south-east of Alice Springs, will today have their case heard in Australia's top court, asking it to overturn a previous ruling that they are not entitled to compensation for the impact the lack of repairs had on them.
The case was initiated by 70 claims to the Northern Territory Civil and Administrative Tribunal in 2016, over failures by the chief executive officer of the Northern Territory Department of Housing to carry out repairs and provide habitable housing.
One of the claimants leading the High Court challenge, Enid Young, told the tribunal she had been left without a back door for five years and that snakes had come inside, leaving her feeling insecure as she could not shut the house.
She also said wild horses had flattened her fences.

In the state of Georgia, trans employees are being denied health care coverage. And honestly they are right to sue of this. It is illegal to discriminate against trans people in this way and trans people should never be denied medical services. This medical care that has been withdrawn for trans people in Georgia includes some of the very same care fro cis gendered persons.
This is outrageously bigoted and unjust, I wish them well in their legal battle and I hope that justice is served.
