I have approximately 700 memes posted to Lemmy over this account and my pre transition account @TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works (and technically 16 on @TriflingToad@lemmy.world too)

It's very interesting seeing what people choose to up upvotes past 1,000+ and what post flops for seemingly no reason.

I just think it's neat

Belgian sources are saying they think it was unlikely the Houthis were targeting the mine hunter. They are speculating it might have been a warning shot, a general show of force, or possibly an errant launch that was to have been directed at Saudi forces. The reports also said it appeared to have been a ballistic missile as opposed to an anti-ship missile.

Shower time, but brain

Distracts on productive thing

Clean shower, gross me

Thank you. *bows solemnly*

Cassidy Hutchinson had implicated Donald Trump in US Capitol attack during testimony before House committee

The justice department on Tuesday failed to secure a grand jury indictment against a former White House staffer who provided dramatic but disputed testimony against Donald Trump before a House committee investigating the 6 January 2021 US Capitol insurrection, according to two people familiar with the matter.

A grand jury in Washington rejected prosecutors’ request to return an indictment charging Cassidy Hutchinson, said the people, who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the case. It’s the latest setback in the justice department’s efforts to charge perceived adversaries of the Republican president.

Details of prosecutors’ allegations against Hutchinson were not immediately clear, but Republican lawmakers had accused her of lying under oath in her explosive testimony in 2022 about Trump’s behavior on January 6, when a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol to halt the congressional certification of his election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

Susan and Michael Pretti say they have been ‘ignored and misled’ in quest for justice over son’s killing by US agents

The parents of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old nurse killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis earlier this year, accused federal officials of stonewalling them and shielding their son’s killers.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Michael and Susan Pretti made their first public remarks since their son’s death in January, calling for the Department of Justice to hold those involved in their son’s death accountable. The federal government has not provided them with meaningful information about the case, they said.

“At every turn, they have ignored us, misled us and shielded Alex’s killers,” said Michael Pretti. “We are a family who love this country. We trust in the institutions of this country. We believe in the rule of law – and that people should be held accountable through that law.”
