That’s exactly what their MO is. All of the Venezuelans they shipped to El Salvador were supposedly participating in criminal activities, which of course did not need to be proven if there was no due process.

All they need to do is make the claim that someone or another is participating in these criminal activities and disappear them as well.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legal resident of the US, is still in an El Salvador prison and was never charged with a crime.

It’s gonna be used as propaganda, yeah. This will be the strawman for all pro-Palestine sentiment in the US for the near future.

It makes it more of an uphill battle. This will absolutely be used to justify further criminalizing pro-Palestine speech and public demonstrations.

Video is all over the news of this happening. Suffice to say the conservatives/Israelis are now winning the propaganda war in the US with this event.

I guess the logic is that it’s a subsystem of Windows for the purpose of running Linux apps.

Agree though that it’s a confusing name. I remember thinking the same thing about Windows Subsystem for Android (the compatibility layer to run Android apps in Windows)

Palestinian philosopher and writer Edward Said was also famously in favor of a one-state solution which granted equal rights to Palestinians.

I think that is honestly the only way forward, but feel like it will take extended intervention by a foreign government or international organization to enforce. And I am guessing that really means extended at this point.

The only thing that would have me worried, even given these examples, is the fact that the current supreme court seems to enjoy wiping their ass with precedent.

They haven’t been afraid to dismiss older rulings, or to say that this time is somehow different than before because it’d be more convenient.

Anything related to queer identities could fall under obscenity by whatever arbitrary definitions they want to use.

No more pride or rainbow flags, no support groups for queer youth, no sex education, all of that is obscene.

This “news” site appears to be artificially promoted using vote manipulation:

Even then, though, this shit doesn’t fly here.

Shouldn’t have happened at all, but at least the hotel fired the shitfucker and tried to make this right, while in other parts of the country this behavior would have been celebrated.

Why do I have a feeling the administration would still try to find ways to not pay nonwhite families having kids?

Trump was propped up by people who believe this bogus “Great Replacement” theory and I don’t think they would be willing to back down from that stance on account of a generally declining population.

Elon Musk is definitely the kind of person to look at Rapture and think “Hey that looks like a great idea” while missing the point entirely.

What, you don’t remember that part of the Bible?

Mozilla 11:28 - “Come to me, all of you who have 87 tabs open, and I will give you grouping.”

It’s always fun when two terrible tech giants fight it out.

A lot of those states with higher minimum wage also have a higher cost of living, though, so it’s not all cut and dry.

Guessing the same, though to add another element into this that you bring up, private prisons are not included in the data that USA Today obtained. It also doesn’t appear to include any federal prison data either. Just local jails and state prisons.

Just to pull info from the article in case others don’t care to read, the vast majority of these deaths are still attributed to “natural causes” like illness, old age, or pre-existing conditions, though these are undoubtedly exacerbated by the conditions of prison life.

The point of concern though is that “unnatural causes” are generally on the rise during this period. Unfortunately, given the fact that some of the data is almost 10 years old at this point, it’s hard to say if the situation has gotten any better or worse since then.

I like the political optimism, but where was this huge shuffle of politicians you describe that ousted the moderates? Most of the people in office now are the same as before.

Not in this lifetime for me, though the world has generally forgiven the auto brands who helped run the Axis Powers war machine like BMW, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, etc.

Tesla could do a complete about-face, oust Musk and his cronies, start adhering to better market practices, and build themselves back up as a reputable brand. But not for a long while.

Better that there actually be a better path to take which could lead somewhere in the future, otherwise they may as well double down on his stupidity and profit while they can before the whole company just implodes.

Honestly that is much more likely how he’d say it.
