  • YSK that no proof of United States citizenship, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant.

  • I wonder if there is a correlation between encouraging to not participate in electoral process, and being left out of the outcome of it

    There often is. Leftists encourage people to not participate in a capitalist system because most of the major parties in capitalist countries, even ones that claim to be diametrically opposed to each other, are very often near-identical in practice, and simply voting in such a system without a strong socialist component is never, ever, ever enough to bring about meaningful change in a sensible time span.

    Electoralism isn't a bad word in leftwing circles at all. Countries where left-leaning parties have a reasonable chance of success see leftists absolutely flocking to the polls to help.

    ICE arrested a Navajo man and dismissed all the proof he presented of his identity, claiming he faked it and that they'd "get his family next".

  • From what I'm seeing, ICE doesn't give a flying fuck if you have a valid ID or not, they're still going to collar you. Their policy is literally to fuck around first and find out later.

    The 50% (actually 51%) figure is cited in a UN report as well.

  • They're not native to India (these are African cheetahs, not Asiatic cheetahs, which are also not native to India but might theoretically fare better).

    The climate is wrong -- India is a lot wetter than their native African savanna, with a prolonged heavy monsoon season they're not used to. There are already cases of cheetahs developing infections from the near-constant moisture and humidity during the monsoons.

    The environment is wrong -- Indian grasslands bear only a superficial resemblance to the savanna, but there are a lot more trees and underbrush, which is far from ideal for a predator that evolved to hunt with linear speed, especially one as fragile as a cheetah.

    There are also a LOT more apex predators (tigers, leopards, wolves, dholes) in the area they've been introduced to, so there's a lot more competition for the same prey base. Cheetahs have a high enough failure rate as is in their home range, it gets significantly worse when they're forced to compete with a higher density of predators they're unfamiliar with.

    And none of this considers the human impact -- India has a very high human and livestock population density on the fringes of protected forest areas. If a cheetah happens to wander outside the protected area and tries to hunt, there's a very good chance people will kill it or seriously injure it to protect their livestock...or hit it with a car or a truck or something.
