  • States move to rein in ICE after fatal Minnesota shooting

    Jump

  • Honestly, civil forfeiture has as much legal protection as qualified immunity.

    I want to see democratic AGs actually do this.

  • I mean....Firefox has gone from open source to source available. Other alternatives exist for Firefox that still hold the user as the customer and not as the product.

    I personally use Waterfox.

  • After 40, we just don't sleep

  • 1000% agree.

    If you're in your 20s, start building good habits now. Your future self will thank you.

  • Minnesota doubles-down on ICE shooting investigation despite Trump admin

  • Finish cops probably don't have qualified immunity.

  • They aren't lying per se. They are seeing what kind of narrative they can get away with.

    The lies are not for us.

    They are for their base.

  • AOC won't appear on Jesse Watters show because she says he' has sexually harassed me '

    Jump

  • A lot of GOP guys that want to bang AOC are thinking that as a conquest and not out any feelings that sex would require.

    In other words, if given the opportunity to assault her, they would.

    It goes perfect with the conservative mindset: I get what I want and get to suppress and treat you like shit.

  • Germans have lost faith in the US, survey reveals

    Jump

  • Do not confuse "useful idiot" as "faith".

  • Locked

    The way of the pirate

    Jump

  • MOD ACTION: I'm locking this post. It's gone off the rails a bit.

  • Woman killed by ICE agent in Minneapolis was a mother of 3, poet and new to the city

    Jump

  • I've said this in other comments but bares repeating: we have a lot of people willing to fight for democracy, but very few people willing to die for it.

    I won't share anything specific on what the group does (or doesn't do) but the biggest thing that anyone within the US can do right now is to get politically involved, especially if you are white and cis.

    • Find immigration attorneys and volunteer your time and talents with them
    • Find LGBT+ groups and be their ally
    • Volunteer at local homeless shelters, legal aid centers, etc.

    You can do all of those things anonymously if you fear for your own safety. But get involved. I've done all of those things I listed above and I can tell you that the needs are huge. The more you make yourself known, the more people will trust you and you will be come part of the resistance.

  • I do. I've joined a collective of armed leftists. I was legit surprised that they existed.

    If you own a gun, and you conceal carry, consider finding your local group and get involved.

  • ‘The Pitt’ Renewed for Season 3

    Jump

  • It's like 24, and instead of a crazy counter-terrorism guy you have a more charismatic House guy.

  • Professor Reinstated After Being Fired For Charlie Kirk Post

    Jump

  • I'm going to push back a bit here. Because people say a lot that there is no resistance and, to your point, there isn't any impactful resistance where it matters.

    There is a world of difference between people who want to fight for what is right and people who are willing to die for what is right.

    The reason we are here is because we have plenty of the former and very very little of the latter.

    I do not say this lightly because I fear we are reaching a point that unless people are willing to risk their lives, we will lose our lives to fascism.

  • Dell seems to be the first to realise we don't actually care about AI PCs

    Jump

  • Because companies don't serve customers. They serve shareholders.

    AI is the hotness right now and every boards of directors wants to know what the company plans to do with AI.

  • Don't want to pay for YouTube Premium? Morphe picks up where Revanced left off.

  • Thank you for the summary. I don't have a dog in the fight myself. (I use NewPipe) But I'm an FOSS advocate.

    Stripping attribution....that's a GPL violation and that itself is enough to terminate the license. The dates of repo creation and commit dates should be enough to prove causality.

    It's not like the fork couldn't have stood on its own. Like...wtf was the contributor thinking removing the attribution would do?

  • Can someone tl;Dr this for me? I've gone almost two years without clicking a reddit link and I'm not about to start now.

  • ‘Land of the free?’: Outrage after US protester arrested on live TV

    Jump

  • The problem isn't necessarily standing.

    The problem is that she got arrested in the first place. So now she has to pay an attorney to represent her, defend her from the shit charges, then countersue the police and the government, appeal it as necessary. It might be years before she sees a penny of any lawsuit.

    Meanwhile the officer continues to be an officer. Politicians involved are usually gone.

    This is a situation where justice is denied not once, not twice, but many times over.

  • Never ever ask out a retail worker

    Jump

  • Asking someone out is about being aware of the situation and taking in social cues.

    Retail workers are required to be nice to you. But some may go above and beyond. If they do, they may be hitting on you. (E.g. you ask for a small coffee and they give you a large. Or don't charge you for an extra whatever.)

    The key is making sure you aren't a creep. Make sure the interaction is welcome and you aren't making their job harder.

    It sounds like you read the room and opted to not shoot your shot. That's the way.

  • The level of groupthink that conservatives have is unparalleled. They constantly need to be reminded that they are the in group.

    Look at all the Trump merch available to show their shibboleth. These people need others in their group to know that they are in their group.

    It's why Fox News is so powerful. They get their talking points from there. What Trump hasn't realized yet is that Fox News can turn the tide on him very quickly if he's not careful.
