When Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked Donald Trump’s lawyer, “If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person, and he orders the military or orders someone to #assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which he can get #immunity?”, he replied, “It would depend on the hypothetical, but we can see that would well be an official act.” Based on that one line of questioning, Trump’s argument should be going down in flames 9-0. A democracy cannot survive when its supreme leader can arbitrarily decide that it’s in the nation’s best interest to rub out his opponents, and then leave it to some future court to decide whether it was an official act, because he’ll get away with it as long as there aren’t 67 votes in the Senate to impeach. And given that it will have been established that the president can put out a contract on political foes, how many senators are going to vote to impeach? — Brynn Tannehill #quotes #quote #Trump #OfficialActs

A true thin-slice (Hope it's not too hard to read - it's enlargeable 'here')

The rest of the background and reasoning is fascinating. But this up-front "abstract" sort of says it all, logically & legally

UK scientists take ‘promising’ step towards single Covid and cold vaccine | Coronavirus | The Guardian

Scientists have made a “promising” advance towards developing a universal coronavirus vaccine to tackle Covid-19 and the common cold.
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute in London have discovered that a specific area of the spike protein of Sars-CoV-2 – the virus that causes Covid-19 – is a good target for a pan-coronavirus jab that could offer protection against all the Covid-19 variants and common colds.
Developing a vaccine that protects against a number of different coronaviruses is a huge challenge, they said, because this family of viruses have many key differences, frequently mutate and generally induce incomplete protection against reinfection. That is why people can repeatedly catch common colds, and why it is possible to be infected multiple times with different variants of Sars-CoV-2

#EPO restructuring to look more like a private corporation isn’t unprecedented; but unlike a private corporation it has a total #monopoly (granting authority status is a monopoly for Europe) and even diplomatic #immunity , so what we deal with here is a fascistic monster that casually breaks the law, commits violations of European constitutions, and even attacks the courts themselves http://techrights.org/2022/01/30/shuffling-chairs-on-the-epo-titanic/
