Henry Louis Gates did a book and documentary series for PBS called “Black in Latin America” back in 2011. Definitely work watching if you’ve never seen it.

I got curious so I looked on Wikipedia

The term for this persecution was popularized by David K. Johnson’s 2004 book which studied this anti-homosexual campaign, The Lavender Scare. The book drew its title from the term “lavender lads”, used repeatedly by Senator Everett Dirksen as a synonym for homosexual males. In 1952, Dirksen said that a Republican victory in the November elections would mean the removal of “the lavender lads” from the State Department.[6][7] The phrase was also used by Confidential magazine, a periodical known for gossiping about the sexuality of politicians and prominent Hollywood stars.[8]

Same, I barely watch any regular tv these days aside from local news.

Made me think of the Africa Union or the Alliance of the Sahel States.

DHS Lawyer Achieves Rare Bipartisan Win By Uniting 100+ Lawyers and Judges Against Him

Welcome back to Barf Bag.

If it wasn’t already mind-numbingly clear by the fact that it has detained a five-year-old and a baby in its cruel deportation campaign, the Trump administration is diametrically unable to recognize that the only “worst of the worst” here is… itself.

Alas, that idiocy is contagious, and no example is quite so exemplary as that of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival, one of DHS’ top lawyers. Because last month, in a career-suicide-shaped attempt to be edgy, Trumpy, and cool, Percival tweeted a “Worst of the Worst, District Judge Edition.”

Dedicating each tweet to the name and an incendiary summary of a select four judges that dared rule against the administration’s anti-immigrant policies, Percival called out Matthew Kennelly, Allison Burroughs, Paula Xinis, and Hernan Vera. Foreseeably, on Tuesday, 128 former lawyers and judges filed an ethics complaint against him for the vileness.

“These statements, and similar statements Mr. Percival has made about other sitting judges, not only constitute serious professional misconduct, but they threaten the rule of law and increase the risk of violence against judges,” the 24-page complaint, filed by Democracy Defenders Fund, reads. “Mr. Percival’s statements go far beyond normal criticism. They are unfounded ad hominem attacks that directly impugn the integrity of four sitting judges.”

The complaint also cites more than 400 threats made against various federal judges this year, that number having climbed nearly 60% in a single year. Hundreds of judges also told PBS earlier this week that they’ve sometimes received “violent threats”—especially egged on by Trump and MAGA, who’ve verbally attacked several judges that ruled to curb their powers.

On cue, Percival’s reaction has been nothing less than a Trump-esque tantrum, with him introducing an ironic new medal against former Florida Supreme Court Justice Peggy Quince for being the first signatory on the filing. “I will be creating a new award,” he tweeted. “The award is called the Justice Peggy Quince Lifetime Achievement Award for Worst of the Worst Judging. I am now accepting nominees!” Well, at least he didn’t make a fake award to give to himself, I guess…

If the complaint turns into disciplinary action—which happens about a quarter of the time such a document is filed in Florida—the state’s bar will decide on the appropriate consequences. Hm. I’m willing to think of a few.

Thanks! I can’t wait to get them fully broken in.

Thanks! The brand is called Yosuke. I was going to get some Demonia shoes but then I read that they weren’t long-lasting.

I am also region 1. I have a few DVDS from random places, so I purchased a region free one a couple of years ago from Amazon.

Ikr, thrifting and eBay is the way to go. Also a region free DVD player.
