🗣 Fines for a potty-mouth vs the First Amendment
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) came to the defence of a New Jersey woman who was fined for ‘F*** Biden’ signs on their front lawn.
Earlier this month, the Roselle Park Municipal Court ruled that Patricia Dilascio and her daughter must remove profanity-laden signs criticizing the president, or face $250-a-day fines. The suburban women have refused.
ACLU New Jersey legal director Jeanne LoCicero emphasized that “all” of the state’s residents “have the right to express themselves freely” under the First Amendment of the US Constitution, and that Roselle Park’s ordinance against obscene signs “should never have been applied to political signs”.

🇺🇸 🇲🇽 Deportations for some migrant families who cross the US-Mexico border amid what the current administration persistently refuses to acknowledge as a “crisis” will be fast-tracked, according to a statement by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“Certain family units who are not able to be expelled under Title 42 will be placed in expedited removal proceedings. Expedited removal provides a lawful, more accelerated procedure to remove those family units who do not have a basis under U.S. law to be in the United States,” says the DHS statement.
The tool will now apply to families who are not expelled under the pandemic-related public health border policy dating to the administration of former President Donald Trump, known as Title 42

American whistleblower Daniel Hale was sentenced to nearly four years behind bars for disclosing top secret information to a journalist about the lethal US military drone program.
In the Tuesday ruling, US District Judge Liam O’Grady noted the lengthy sentence was rooted in a “need” to deter others working within US intelligence agencies from taking similar measures and leaking classified information.
Edward Snowden, in a tweet on Tuesday, called Hale "one of the great American whistleblowers," whose crime is telling the truth.

A US court has ordered the permanent forfeiture of a cuneiform tablet portraying the epic of Gilgamesh, following sales to multiple buyers beginning in 2003, that ended with the artifact’s seizure from a US museum in 2019.
“Known as the Gilgamesh Dream Tablet, it originated in the area of modern-day Iraq and entered the United States contrary to federal law.

🇷🇺 Did you miss good old accusations from the US towards Russia ?
The US midterm elections are set to take place on 8 November 2022, and the US president is already blaming Russia for "violating US sovereignty," saying "Look what Russia is doing already about the 2022 elections and misinformation".
Joe Biden did not specify in what ways that Moscow could possibly be interfering with the upcoming US midterm elections and did not provide examples of what to "look" at.
🤔 Seems like new parts of "the Russian trace" saga will only keep coming.
