  • It’s Time for Concrete Action on ICE. Sadly, We Have the Democrats.

    Jump

  • They self-negotiated themselves into a deeply compromised ACA after getting a supermajority, and when they had a majority they were brought to their knees by... the parliamentarian. A staffer, essentially.

  • Trump Pitches a Kinder, Gentler ICE Wilding Sprees As His Top Fluffers Fight Amongst Themselves

    Jump

  • Kinder ICE, but with German. Like KinderGuardians.

  • Trump Sparks Fresh Outrage by Sending ICE to the Olympics

  • It's a tabloid, so expectations should probably be starting at unfounded hyperbole.

  • People keep comparing what we're seeing now to Nazi Germany. They're not wrong. The resemblance is undeniable.

    Jump

  • True, but the major powers all did forced 'reparations' from Germany. Paperclip involved the other Allied and colonial powers too.

    Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Osoaviakhim

    The Allies were absolutely more favorable to surrendering Nazis, no question, but let's not act like Paperclip was somehow unique or exceptional.

    It's more salient, I think, that the Nazis concept of Lebenstraum was inspired by American Manifest Destiny, as did Jim Crow laws for the Third Reich's legal implementation of genocidal policies.

  • Trump Sparks Fresh Outrage by Sending ICE to the Olympics

    Jump

  • It's referring to Vance and Rubio, the natural heirs to the throne, who are considered to be rivals in that role. They will apparently be attending, with a squadron of ICE, the games in Italy.

  • Shopping in 2026

    Jump

  • I sold my 2015 but I kept my 2004. That things fully manual and just keeps going. It's growing things inside and out from being street parked but there's no computers, no fobs, no screens.

    I'll invest thousands keeping that thing going until I can bridge the gap to EV. It still gets 35-45 MPG which is better than what's out there anyway, even most hybrids

  • ICE Making List of Anyone Who Films Them

    Jump

  • The Homeland Security guy filming me get pepper sprayed in 2007 said as much as well. It seemed like a bluff then, and even now still probably is. The odds are they'll have AI slop through the photos instead of a person in which case it doesn't matter if they positively ID you in the field or not.

    Not sure if that is any better.

  • [Video] ICE agent asked why he is taking pictures of a legal observers car says: "Cause we have a nice little database. And now you are considered a Domestic Terrorist. So have fun with that."

    Jump

  • They said shit to me while spraying and beating me in 2007. They probably can back it up better now with all the tech, but my assumption is that their 'database' is just running the picture through AI and chasing the slop.

  • Racist, sexist, abusive, anti-science, anti-climate, conspiracy theorist, narcissist,

    We are all a walking version of our (last) mistake, error, fight, trauma, loss, fear, etc.

    We all bear them, and for some they are all consuming. But they need not be.

  • Only the Mathematics and Cartographer classes, or the most elite Historians shall be able to decipher such knowledge.

  • They mostly were just professional secret police that freelanced. Some hunted people during White Terror/Red Scare periods, even.

  • Holed the Fun.

    Jump

  • Hmm. Yes, yes. Quite.

  • Where war elephants were once used

    Jump

  • My guesses are: the Majapahits used war elephants at some point in the 14th century, or a British puppet used them in the 1800s.

  • Corporate Polluters Running Rampant Under Trump as EPA Enforcement 'Dying a Quick Death'

    Jump

  • "Compliance first" can be pretty identical to "No compliance". It is a terrible system that already defers almost slavishly to industry interests. Fighting the regulatory capture of environmental agencies was already bleak.

  • If they're at an organizing event, sure.
