  • Professors Are Being Watched: ‘We’ve Never Seen This Much Surveillance’

    Jump

  • Yeah this is a weird one. When I was going to college, all classes had a basic syllabus posted in the class description/overview. It was extremely helpful when looking to find a less work intensive elective.

  • It's because they don't actually care about free speech. It's the typical fascist quotes people always copy pasta everywhere. They're hypocrites and they legitimately do not give a fuck. It was always an excuse to silence critics of fascism.

  • Not even lottery jackpots are enough to buy apartments in Seoul

    Jump

  • Yes, because it's totally normal for apartments to cost over $1 million/1.5b won.

  • Chicago mayor orders police to investigate alleged illegal ICE activity in city

  • Jfc, that still hasn't been shut down?? Fuckin' hell. Illinois corruption never changes.

  • Tom Morello plays Killing in the name of, in Minneapolis. He was out protesting ICE during the day. (Minnesota - 1/30/26)

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's fair. I was referring to the lake areas in northeen part of the state. I haven't been there in the winter time, so I only have the summer to go off of.

  • Minnesota is gorgeous. I have friends that live in Minneapolis and the city itself is very cozy, as much as a larger metro can be. It's a very community driven culture, and it's one place you truly don't want to piss off, because they 100% will unite against you.

  • Sanders says ‘not another penny’ for ICE until Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller are gone

    Jump

  • I think you missed the part where he wants drastic reform within the agency on top of axing the ghouls running it. He's much more likely to succeed politically with those types of demands than just straight up defunding the entire thing.

  • They voted for Trump because he was promising a radical shake up in the government. They were down with that idea because the status quo for the last 3 decades has been garbage for common folk.

    You know who else was promising a radical shake up? Bernie. I lived in red ass Iowa at the time he was running, and everyone I talked to on both sides of the spectrum loved him. He even won the primary there.

    Will they wake up before it's too late?

    Jump

  • I disagree. The bottom rung already states they're no longer making excuses and even questioning it results in you being labeled a traitor. The step above the bottom is also when they stop making excuses, you're just not outright labeled a traitor.

    Edit: phrasing.

    Also, I'd argue we're even already at the bottom rung in many cases. Just look what happened with Mark Kelly reminding the military it is their legal duty to disobey unlawful orders.

  • ‘Completely lost his mind’: Trump's 'deranged' letter sends shockwaves across the globe

    Jump

  • I meant running in the sense he's actually governing, which he isn't. He's a dictator that's terrorizing his own citizens while everything in the country is crumbling. What little governing IS actually occurring, is being done by his cronies that are implementing their own agendas, e.g. that idiotic tax break bill they created last year.

    Jump

  • And this is all because the 1% would rather burn the world down than pay their fair share back to society. They bought up all the media outlets and platforms and sowed as much division among the middle and lower income brackets as much as possible to prevent us from uniting against them.

  • ‘Completely lost his mind’: Trump's 'deranged' letter sends shockwaves across the globe

    Jump

  • I feel like crazy, because signs of his dementia have been clearly obvious for several years now. Why is anyone surprised by this nonsensical letter?

    He is not "running" the country, his cronies are. They let him pop off with stupid shit like this because his handlers have learned that if they don't let him do shit like this while their machinations are carried out in the background, he turns on them and they get kicked out of his cult. So they loot and pillage the country while their cult leader goes off on his tangents and pursues his weird/ridiculous/frightening vendettas. M

  • Hundreds of active-duty soldiers on standby, 2 defense officials say

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was quite drunk last night. You're 100% right that in this context, soldiers would have the ability to disobey these types of unlawful orders under the UCMJ.

  • Hundreds of active-duty soldiers on standby, 2 defense officials say

    Jump

  • I don't think it's so black and white. A lot of those soldiers are barely surviving and their money feeds their kids. Enlisted don't have the luxury of disobeying orders blindly, that law is applicable to the officers issuing them.

    Having said that, as a vet, I would do malicious incompetence and sabotage our mission in "incompetent" ways as much as possible. Also, I would never open fire on innocent civilians no matter what.

  • she just doesn't understand me

    Jump

  • What? Is this a volume control limit, then? I thought it was just a parental feature that caps how often they can listen to music on their earbuds (which seems absolutely insane to me), but I guess volume control would make a bit more sense.

  • Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention

    Jump

  • "Securtity" typo is pretty funny, like it's some special bra brand that keeps someone's boobs nice and secure.

  • I mean, it is still ironic regardless of that.

  • Zootopia

    Jump

  • Very fair point, thanks for providing further historical context.

    There are definitely some older kids movies even that have some, "wtf?" aspects about them by today's standards. Hell, we started watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit a year ago or so with one of our younger kids and my wife and I just looked at each other, "ehhhh maybe this isn't really kid appropriate after all," and turned it off.

  • Smithsonian removes Trump impeachment text as it swaps his portrait

    Jump

  • People are extremely brand loyal nowadays and I'd even argue it's the worst it's been in recent history. Just look how addicted people are to the MAGA cult identity and Elon Musk's products and branding.
