What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Cool. Since there's so much staggering evidence of this in the mainstream news, could you link to some? This is the third time someone is asking you for evidence now and you've yet to provide any.

if that's what it takes to get you to respond and I'll oblige: this literally took me less than 5 seconds on a google search:

https://www.splcenter.org/news/2022/03/23/family-separation-timeline https://www.npr.org/2023/12/08/1218336878/immigration-family-separation-judge-settlement-border https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/07/immigration-family-separation/

Unless you think that the southern poverty law center; npr; and the washington post are obscure sources.

and now here's my 4th time asking how it's missed you; are you just not paying attention?

UPDATE: didn't realize it was a different person.

I don't think you read through any of those stories fully. All they're describing is how the Trump administration separated all these people and the Biden administration has been trying to reunite them through his task force. Why they haven't finally united any of the remaining 1400+ families is not in any of these sources.

What is mentioned is how the Biden administration went to provide separated families with aid but of course why would any reasonable Republican vote for that when they're already trying to rip the families apart?

If your complaint is Biden didn't clean up Trump's mess fast enough for your liking, it's not a great argument.

biden and trump have no interest in fixing anything that doesn't make their donors or friends happy and my only complaint is why that poster is avoiding the question.

biden and trump aren't interested in fixing anything except for their donors and my only complaint; besides them being there; is why the poster is avoiding answering the question
