  • US citizen held by ICE despite judge seeing birth certificate

  • I think you dont understand. To rewrite that card would be a big red buisiness card that says "you are fucked".

    Thats it.

    Arm yourselves and the people being hunted? Are you fucking kidding? Thats literal ammunition to the opposition. If you had your way, a bunch of illegal immigrants now are using illegal guns to shoot americans.

    Your advice legitimizes the "invasion" of the other. It does the opposite of what you want. Your solution galvanizes the right to point and say "see, they are all murderous criminals" get them.

    For fucks sake think for a moment. This is the absolute dumbest take ive ever seen.

  • Well duh.

    I dont mean this as a disparagement of zelenski, but cmon man. the people that knew this fact dont need your confirmation. We know. And the people that dont know this will never trust you nor hear your voice. Their mind was already made up. Their personal echo chamber and cycle of disinformation wont let them ever see it.

  • Over the past 3 months, i have disributed over 1500 red cards. los tarjetas rojas. They explain immigrant rights and what to do if ice shows up. https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas

    In a normal world, thats enough to help protect them. Its a little step i know, but its something i could do to help.

    Now it is a lie and i mislead my neighbors and friends. They are not safe.

    Next step?

  • No California Hollywood actor and former head of the screen actors guild will ever be president, because they can’t fake being human long enough with cameras around. The complete lack of experience with anything approaching real life will expose them over and over again.

    Joe Rogan Slammed For Claiming Resurrection of Disability Slur Is 'One of the Greatest Cultural Victories'

  • Bud im not saying that these words are not bad. I never said they weren't. They are. Im saying that these words have power. Im hoping you get that now, especially now that ive hit a nerve enough, that maybe you can learn off of what you said in your initial comment.

    Im asserting that your broad generalizations are equally bad. The spectrum of autism, retardation, and mental handicaps as a whole are so much bigger and more diverse than the assumptions you made. Thats my message. Thats the point im trying to speak. I hope you can eventually see that.

  • Nah you dont.

    The way you are using your narrow minded view of autism and the mentally handicapped is not only highly offensive, its also wrong. I have personally worked with and cared for people on the autism spectrum from the level of "nonverbal infant level" all the way to certified savant. Its a spectrum for a reason. I have also cared for people, for literal years, who are diagnosed retarded that are more capable and more functional than the "normal" people i see at walmart. And also hold steady jobs better than their non deficent coworkers.

    Heres a thought experiment for you. If the things you say are so blatantly wrong that you get downvoted, called out, and ignored for your offensive views, but still want to double down, are you yourself retarded?

    I dont know you. And i dont know your mental acuity. But i am using that word as an insult. That should answer your question i think.

    Clearly you do not know anything at all about those two groups or the myriad of different functional levels the can come with those diagnoses.

  • Yeah were are at the point where the cult has so much control, that they can say whatever they want and completely pave over every option. Contradiction? Not really. Infighting? Nah, theres always someone on my side. Regrets? None. If they cover every option, they can never be wrong.

    We have hit the "pick and chose your own adventure" of identity politics, where you cant argue anymore, because they stand for... everything and nothing all at once.

    Let your imagination run wild.

    Attorney General Pam Bondi directs prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione

    Jump

  • "Life without parole" vs "the death penalty" hold a different connotation for the average person.

    Its about perception. Not logic.

    The death penalty had never really made sense for 80 years. Basically ever since we eliminated firing squads or the guillotine. Ever since we said, "guilty, kill em now, move on"

    But we hold execution in a much higher regard. The death penalty is certain. Life in prison... well thats ambiguous. We are still fighting a culture war on the death penalty for literal decades now, despite the fact that it makes absolutely zero difference to anyone not directly involved in the crime.

    The actual, logical, real world difference is minimal. But if you want to send a message. Well then, the perception is magnificent.

    Sentenced to death has meaning. Until you drag it out so long everyone forgets.

  • No. They want to take away a martyr.

    How long is the average stay on death row?

    And how long is the memory of the average american voter?

    You and me will have moved on to the next battle and ten other battles by the time they shoot him. Collective memory will have other priorities and we will forget.

    Thats the trick. The appeals process alone takes so long that you will either be completely lost by that point, or your disinterest shouting support for fifteen other vigilantes, that it wont matter.

    If they convict, hes fucked. Hes not a martyr. Hes a statistic. And thats how they convince the next one not to do it. You are not joan of ark. History will treat you not as a savior, but as a wildcard random.. So why bother? A healthcare ceo is not franz ferdinand.

    We arent there yet...

  • US prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione

    Jump

  • Have you seen how long it takes someone to get through death row? If convicted, he will sit for 20 years. Far far beyond the current political discourse.

    If he gets convicted, that will be a stink for a while. But by the time they kill him, he will be a distant memory.

    Martyrs die when the timing is optimal. If it isnt the right time, they are just a name on a gravestone. And we have plenty of those.

  • Susan Crawford wins Wisconsin Supreme Court race, defying Elon Musk

    Jump

  • Yeah my internet history alone would eliminate me from that running.

    The winners are "pre selected". Thats how his bullshit workaround works. Its been admitted. But for the uninformed, it sounds like a lottery.

    It isnt.

    even if a communist or anarchist or whatever tried to play the game and if it were a true lottery, you would be committing a far worse disservice by keeping quiet at this point.

    Stay quiet and maybe get a million. Its the democrat way if you look at our current dem politicians... do you really want to be like them right now?

  • Ted Cruz threatens fire alarm to cut short Cory Booker's Senate showdown

    Jump

  • I know ted is a piece of shit, but that post, and literally everyone else's response to it, including booker who referenced the post in the last 30 minutes before the record was broken, knew that it was a joke.

    Ted tried it already and failed to hit the record. He knows how hard it is.

    That was an assholes way of appreciating something, without admitting that he has respect for it.

    For fucks sake.

  • I understand what you are saying. But i believe that it is not really representative of what is happening or needs to happen to the usa as a whole.

    Brownback just wasnt strong enough of a virus to build immunity to this sickness.

    He may have been an slight inoculation for some people, but the immune system as a whole went on and then forgot about the weak virus.

    what is happening now is a bigger bug. Lets just hope the fever doesnt kill us.

  • Yeah i think we will soon be far along enough that my personal feelings about this, in comparison to a random unpopular kansas govenor, are irrelevant and not a fair comparison. Its hardly a fair comparison right now.

    I had to look up brownback tbh.

    The "sam brownback concept" isnt a thing. But there are real examples of the yoyo slinging back hard enough to hit someone in the face and make them reconsider letting out the string again.
