PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) will seek to permanently shut its oil refinery in the city after a massive fire caused substantial damage to the complex, the company confirmed on Wednesday, a day after sources told Reuters about the plans.
“The recent fire at the refinery complex has made it impossible for us to continue operations. We are grateful that the fire resulted in only a few minor injuries,” PES CEO Mark Smith said in a statement. “We are committed to an orderly process to safely wind down our operations.”
On a personal note: I know someone who has lost a job there because of this.
Though Jones didn’t fire the shots that killed her unborn baby girl, authorities say she initiated the dispute that led to the gunfire.
"She asked tor it."
under personhood, any act you do while pregnant that could potentially endanger a fetus — driving recklessly, taking medication, even attempting suicide — can result in a potential manslaughter charge. all three of these examples have already happened in the U.S.
I saw a thing, which I can't be bothered to go back and find because 2nd birthday drink etc, about how some death row prisoners are using the "inalienable right to life" anti-abortion provisions to challenge their death sentences. (OK, technically their lawyers are, and may only be motivated by making more money.)
You know it won't work. The totalitarians no longer even pretend very much to have principles and consistency. Rich white males have an inalienable right to the particular life they choose, and everyone else is the object of rich white males' enjoyment of exercising power.
Among Islamic fundie states, substitute rich brown males; in China substitute rich 'yellow' males; in African dictatorships substitute rich black males. The 'rich' part is a consequence of psychopath's pursuit of power. The 'male' part is the common issue.
Good analysis of how paid bots - notoriously used by the Bolsonaro movement throughout 2018 - have worked to promote derogatory hashtags against me since our #VazaJato reporting began, causing them to trend: https://t.co/y6L1rRo6oH
What a ridiculous claim. Everyone knows that Twitter bots and social media disinformation campaigns have negligible effect.
It seems Greenwald is just making excuses for a shitty candidate journalist because he'd rather serve his billionaire funder than actually fight for the people.
After @delta forced me to check my bag (bc of course there’s no room in the cabin) they send my suitcase with my regalia inside through the shredder. Then offer me $112 in compensation for custom made irreplaceable fully beaded moccasins. Never flying #Delta again pic.twitter.com/xhplP5RyfM

I agree, that sounds like a warning being issued ... but to whom, and for why?
Does Giuliani want someone who might be relaxing in the belief that the Trump administration will sweep Epstein under the federal carpet to think twice, rouse themselves, and engage their own exterminator?
I've seen a few Trump supporters implying or outright saying that liberals would change their minds about it as soon as Democrats start getting implicated. Like they're assuming people are just pretending to care about the crimes because it would benefit their political party.
