  • Good on Reuters for sending a drone over there.

  • Well actually "don't do anything illegal" seems to be the thing giving an easy win to cops and politicians here.

    "Oh, they are ignoring the laws and putting people in concentration camps? Just politely tell them they are wrong, that'll show them!"

  • And you are free to believe otherwise. But sadly I don't see legal protests having any effect on a government actively seeking to undermine the rule of law.

  • Insisting on the confines of legality when the opposing side has shed any pretence of legality months (arguably years) ago is... a stance to take. Just not a winning one.

  • Charges weren't dropped. Neither the judge nor the prosecution sought detention, so she is just out until the next hearing happens (May 15th).

    From: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/milwaukee-judge-hannah-dugan-charged-with-2-federal-felonies-in-ice-case/ar-AA1DCrnR

    On April 25, Dugan appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen C. Dries during a brief hearing in a packed courtroom at the federal courthouse. Dugan, wearing a black dress with white flowers, made no public comments during the brief hearing.

    At the hearing, Dries asked if prosecutors were seeking detention, and they said they were not. He answered that he did not believe that the charges were “eligible” for detention.

    As it ended, her attorney, Craig Mastantuono, told the court: "Judge Dugan wholeheartedly regrets and protests her arrest. It was not made in the interest of public safety."

    Dugan made her federal court appearance a little more than two hours after she was arrested at the county courthouse at about 8 a.m. April 25.

  • it’s that they’re less competent

    Not sure if that's true actually, the Nazis were supremely incompetent as well. It just doesn't take that much competence to smash a delicate balance like the separation of powers. You basically need control of one the three branches of government and you are good to try, Trump controls two and this news is about him smashing the third.

  • Wie meinen? Meine Lesung ist das Frau Professor die Ungleichbehandlung super geil findet, und das sagt Sie an mehreren Stellen explizit:

    Ist die Tatsache, dass es keine Wehrpflicht für Frauen gibt, also als ausgleichende Gerechtigkeit zu verstehen – für all die "gender gaps" zum Beispiel?

    Ich möchte das so verstanden wissen. Rechtlich ist der Artikel aber so nicht ausgetestet.

    Sie haben in Ihrem Artikel im Verfassungsblog im vergangenen Jahr eine allgemeine Dienstpflicht gefordert. Als Abschlussfrage: Wie würde Ihrer Meinung nach eine gerechte allgemeine Dienstpflicht aussehen?

    So, dass nur Männer zur Wehrpflicht und ergänzend zur allgemeinen Dienstpflicht herangezogen werden. Ich finde, dass Frauen da komplett rausgehalten werden sollten.

    Dein Vorposter wies hingegen darauf hin das die Ungleichbehandlung der Geschlechter in Artikel 12a ja bereits einmal vom Europäischen Gerichtshof als unzulässig eingestuft wurde. Das war zwar im Bezug auf das Dienstverbot für Frauen (Absatz 4), nicht auf die Wehrpflicht (Absatz 1), aber es stünde ja zu erwarten das auch diese Ungleichbehandlung kippen würde wenn dagegen mal jemand klagte.

  • Must be some setting on your end, I'm getting offered translations on that page as well (stable release).

    Two things I could think of, either you haven't set it to always offer translations or your browser is set to simplified Chinese.

    Another thing, you can select some text, right-click the selection, and there will be a translation option there. After you used that there will be a button for "translate the whole page" in the translation popup.

    Oh also you can download more languages through the settings (general settings page, right below browser language).

  • Well I don't know about that. Maybe if this current outrage gets enough people to engage in internal party politics the DNC can be reformed? I'm honestly not too knowledgeable about that area of US politics, but my understanding as a layperson was that there isn't really anything (except for party-internal conflict obviously) preventing registered democrats from trying to reform or even replace the DNC.

    But even if that is possible not sure if it would be fast enough. There are probably a host of different internal elections involved to gain the required influence, and the next national midterms elections are probably way beyond Trumps deadline for going completely mask off "I'm your dictator now"-fascist.

  • Isn't Karma essentially just the delta between upvotes and downvotes you get with some sort of weighting thrown in?

    Because you can very much get that delta on here, it just isn't visible in the default Lemmy interface. If you look at your account through an Mbin frontend for example you can see the "Reputation points" value in the sidebar: https://fedia.io/u/@wittycomputer@feddit.org

  • Know what you mean, would probably be a worthwhile feature request to make on the bug tracker.

  • I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know who or what that is and I deliberately chose to ignore the likely sarcasm, but feel free to enlighten me.

  • Like I agree it is a better message in the edit, but I fear a lot of people are not ready to hear that yet and still need to work through the original before coming around to this... Still stuck in denial and whatnot.

  • You can change the zone size by dragging the border with the mouse while you are in the editing mode.

    Edit: so drag to 1/3 and 2/3 roughly, split the bigger field again.

  • So.. "man doesn't exploit man"? Sounds good!
