Judge: California's women on boards law is unconstitutional - https://news.yahoo.com/judge-californias-women-boards-law-170341425.html
"A Los Angeles judge has ruled that California’s landmark law requiring women on corporate boards is unconstitutional.
Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis said the law that would have required boards have up to three female directors by this year violated the right to equal treatment. The ruling was dated Friday.
The conservative legal group Judicial Watch had challenged the law, claiming it was illegal to use taxpayer funds to enforce a law that violates the equal protection clause of the California Constitution by mandating a gender-based quota."

The Damage Report: May 17, 2022

NY Rep. Elise Stefanik continues to push the 'Great Replacement' theory rhetoric just days after the Buffalo mass shooter's manifesto commented on the same theory. Francesca Fiorentini and Dan Evans break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Buffalo Shooter’s Racist ‘Great Replacement’ Theory Has Been Mainstreamed by GOP - https://www.vice.com/en/article/4awjx9/republicans-great-replacement-theory "The alleged white supremacist who slaughtered 10 people at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store on Saturday was inspired by the racist “great replacement” theory—one that’s been tweaked and adopted by a significant number of Republican lawmakers and candidates in recent months. The alleged murderer specifically cited extremist white supremacist websites in his manifesto, saying he was radicalized on 8chan and came across the theory on neo-Nazi sites like the Daily Stormer. But the views he espoused aren’t far removed from those pushed by some mainstream Republicans and conservative news outlets."

Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, tries to distract while covering the Buffalo mass shooting, which has been largely connected with his defense of the 'Great Replacement' theory. Francesca Fiorentini and Dan Evans break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Tucker Carlson After Mass Shooter Targets Black People: ‘All Lives Matter’ - https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlson-says-all-lives-matter-after-mass-shooter-targets-black-people-in-buffalo-supermarket "Two days after a white supremacist in Buffalo shot and killed 10 people and wounded three, most of whom were Black, Fox News host Tucker Carlson declared that “All lives matter.” In his Monday night monologue, Carlson dared not mention the Great Replacement Theory, though he has spoken about it several times before—and the Buffalo shooter’s screed indicates he was inspired by it. (The conspiracy theory asserts that liberal politicians are trying to replace white Americans with immigrants because they’re more likely to vote for them.) Instead, Carlson used the tragedy to complain about what he called the “ruthlessness and dishonesty of our political leadership” and how those in power want to silence people like himself."

The hearing, which is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. ET, will focus on government reports about “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP) observed by U.S. military officials over the years. CNN notes that the government recorded more than 140 UAP incidents in a report released last year, and the Department of Defense released video footage of flying objects that moved through the air in erratic fashion with speed and maneuverability despite having no detectable means of propulsion."

Francesca Fiorentini and Dan Evans break it down on The Damage Report.

If the right-wing professor isn’t claiming that feminists have “an unconscious wish for brutal male domination,” he’s giving an unwatchable two-and-a-half hour presentation on “identity politics and the Marxist lie of white privilege.” Peterson’s Twitter account, which has 2.7 million followers (and probably 2.1 million bots), is also a cesspool of bad takes, including one that led him to quit the social media platform. In response to model Yumi Nu being on the cover of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, along with Kim Kardashian, Maye Musk, and Ciara, Peterson tweeted, “Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.” Peterson quickly became the Main Character of Twitter, with his “Sorry. Not beautiful” phrasing being paired with, well, have you seen Jordan Peterson looks like? I’m sorry in advance."

Ron DeSantis signed Monday. The legislation makes it a second-degree misdemeanor to protest in a manner that is aimed at intentionally harassing or disturbing someone in their home. Violators face 60 days in jail and fines of up to $500. Protesters can only be arrested after ignoring law enforcement's orders to disperse, however. The governor said the new law will prevent protests in Florida like those waged by abortion rights protesters in front of U.S. Supreme Court justices’ homes in Virginia."

In the company email sent Thursday and seen by Bloomberg, Jim Ryan took a milquetoast approach to addressing the likelihood that the court will strike down Roe and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, rendering abortion illegal or inaccessible in 26 states."

Nugent has been an outspoken supporter of Trump, regularly perpetuating false claims about the 2020 presidential election and spreading conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic. During his latest public appearance, he called upon the estimated 8,000 attendees to assault those he deems “enemies of America.” “They didn’t sneak into the White House — they lied, they cheated, they scammed, and every day the Democrats violate their sacred oath to the Constitution. And if you can’t impress your friends on that, they shouldn’t be your friends,” he said to cheers from the crowd."

In a manifesto, the suspect detailed how he viewed Black people as “replacers” of white Americans. The massacre at the grocery store on Saturday trained a harsh light on the “great replacement theory,” which the authorities say he used to justify an act of racist violence — and on how that theory has migrated from the far-right fringes of American discourse toward the center of Republican politics. Republicans across the spectrum were quick to denounce the killings. But fewer party leaders appeared willing to break with the politics of nativism and fear the party has embraced to retain the loyalties of right-wing voters inspired by Donald J. Trump."
