  • Man shot multiple times in another Minneapolis shooting, Walz confirms: Live updates

    Jump

  • Sure but that's not what happened. We see that an ICE agent disarmed him, removed the pistol from his back waistband area while he's on the ground getting beaten and pistol whipped on the head, AND THEN they shot him.

    If all meat was banned except for insects, would you eat insects?

  • I ate crickets a few times in traditional Mexican restaurants. They were great dry roasted like seasoned peanuts, but I liked them less braised or streamed. I really needed them to have the crunch to be palatable. I'd try other bugs, for sure.

  • Adding on to that: Filled with a bunch of fearful America hating traitors. Afraid of slavery being abolished and hating America for even considering not expanding slavery to the territories in process of becoming states.

    Here's some fun history: In Maryland and Virginia, reparations were paid by the federal government... to former slave owner for loss of their "property." "Property" being freed slaves. Those recently freed people got exactly what you think they got. Nothing.

  • Americans favor deporting undocumented immigrants, until they're asked how

    Jump

  • If only. That comes out to nearly all Republicans and around a third of Democrats. I could totally see 30% of Democrats being in favor of mass deportations.

    First line of the article

    Most U.S. adults (9 in 10 Republicans and close to half of Democrats) say they support mass deportations of immigrants living in the country illegally

    You gotta remember that the "They're taking our jobs" and "They're getting our tax money" propaganda has been pervasive in America for decades. And they don't, actively or passively, want to know about the realities of the lives of undocumented immigrants in the US. They don't want to read the studies or know the data. Feelings don't care about the facts.

  • A Trump-Voting Farmer's Warning: Mass Deportations Would Be a Disaster | Florida crackdown previews what could be in store for growers

    Jump

  • That's exactly what I'm expecting. They'll just make a whole lotta new things illegal and jailable then apply the laws in a specific way such that only "particular peoples" are incarcerated and used as prison slaves. We saw this in post-Reconstruction South, during Jim Crow, and over the course of the War on Drugs. My favorite was suddenly people just standing on sidewalks being arrested, charged, and convicted as vagrants then being forced to do legally allowed slave labor for the state under threat of punishment (beatings, torture, solitary confinement). America said "We're banning slavery (except for this one case)" then immediately said "Let's increase the number of people who can be exceptions." This is a re-run. Or better yet, a remake of an old movie or show.

    I'm fleeing Texas in the next couple of months because of this and possibly getting caught up in mass deportations even though I'm a citizen. I'm Hispanic, my wife is white. I'm leaving my wife behind because she doesn't want to go. All I can think is 'Thank goodness we don't have kids.' I'm so lucky I've got friends and family in freedom loving states and I feel for those who don't.

  • Gaza death toll has been significantly underreported, study finds

    Jump

  • Just you wait, they'll follow a playbook that has been used for a long time. First they're gonna say that the official death toll, around 46,000 identified people, is incorrect. 'Many of them were Hamas' or 'Hamas is inflating the death count.'

    Once they realize the evidence overwhelmingly shows that the official death toll is an undercount, they're going to say it's not more than the official death toll, it can't be more than the identified deaths. 'It can't be more than 46,000, there's no evidence that it's more than those already counted' or 'I won't believe a higher number without a name and a body.'

    Then, once they can't away from the higher estimate, they'll switch to exclusively justifying it. 'It doesn't matter, they all deserved it for supporting Hamas.'

  • CDC says H5N1 bird flu sample shows mutations that may help the virus bind to cells in the upper airways of people

  • They're banking masks now because only 'criminal antifa' use masks. Some of the bans have exceptions for health reasons, a lot don't. So, screw people with compromised immune systems, I guess.

  • We both know there's gonna be separate standards for the in group (them) and the out group (all the rest of us). Hell, here's an in group member who got 10 weekends in jail for that exact crime earlier this year. But, they'll arrest us for providing food to people who need it. (Dayton 2024) (Houston 2023) The laws are already there in some cities, why not make it federal law and make the punishment severe.

  • Even though I live in the US, it is kinda nice to see this country finally get its comeuppance for a century of ruining the homes of my brethren. 'Oh, your democratically elected government or leader is to the left of Ronald [the Fucker] Reagan? You get a coup. You get an assassination. All of you get a fascist murderous right wing military dictatorship that will kill, torture, SA, and steal the children of tens of thousands of people, set back the economy and lower the standard of living for generations. We will feel just a fraction of the pain caused by our government and the people who supported, and still support, its policies.

  • Louisiana forbids public health workers from promoting COVID, flu and mpox shots

  • Alabama tried this in the early 2010's and the results were great for the state. Fields were left with crops rotting because they weren't harvested, home building slowed, meat processing slowed, people stopped cooperating with police, they arrested a Mercedes Benz exec and a Japanese Toyota employee for not having a driver's license which I'm sure encouraged those manufacturers to expand factories in the state. Business leaders, churches, and so many others hated it.

    Did they learn? Apparently fucking not. Buckle up because they're taking it nationwide and the ride is gonna be awful. I've already bought 200lbs of rice and beans and a bunch of shelf stable items because I fully expect food costs to skyrocket. I advise everyone do the same because undocumented people do so much that can't easily be seen.

  • The Story of One Mississippi County Shows How Private Schools Are Exacerbating Segregation

  • That was a great article! I'm not shocked to see it's been known for decades. And adding an extra layer of fucked up, keeping schools segregated (private religious ones anyway) is also tied to the anti-choice movement and the rise of the religious right. Here's an article for more information.

    Gotta love how most bad things in America can be directly attributed to Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, racism, or a combination of them.
