160 soldiers made an excuse to not see family over the holidays, I get that feeling

It’s weird ICE said he isn’t an agent… if they are to be believed then this incident was a good job interview and he’ll have a job with ICE by end of week.

I agree this map is far from complete. Maybe my definition is different but I would include “internment” camps like Gurs. Speaking for just France, there seems to have been dozens of them if you include POW camps.

Some people don’t get the opportunity to reincarnate as a human again, people like C Kirk reincarnate as a lower and more vulnerable life form so their soul can learn the value of humility and empathy.

She recently was on Tim Dillon podcast and my impression of the situation: She’s a duplicitous lip-server. Shes delusional enough to rationalize the impending healthcare disaster the dems point to as actually “lapses in Obamacare”, not at all because the BBB bill just passed by her party. Also, she is just protesting with dems where convenient because she is capitalizing on some popularity internal to MAGA. It’s easy to hold her party leaders to account and follow through on promises if that means getting some leverage later on.

Hit the nail on the head with manufactured consent. That was the old way of doing things, it’s all top-down autocracy now. No need to get the public to understand anything, the Trump fascists will do the thinking for you.

I think the silver lining right now with this new policy is that journalists can’t physically go to the Pentagon for information. They could theoretically confer with sources outside of the building, off hours, in a different country etc. I imagine those leaks will be more scrutinized now.

I understand where your anger is coming from but it’s misplaced. Lots of people, Americans too, learn the Irish genocide as “the Irish Potato Famine”. Secondly, single crop use is ONE factor that made the situation worse in the context of anti-Irish policies by the occupying British.

I keep seeing this historical “fact” but I can’t find anything corroborating it. “Hitler oaths” were already being taken since 1933, by June of 1935 the Reichswehr was replaced by the Wehrmacht.

$100,000 bounty I’d give up my piece-of-shit cousin

Yea I swear I saw this guy yesterday walking around NYC, he couldn’t have possibly been in Utah.

FBI released these photos, looks like they are desperate for the public’s help now.

His last words on this earth, “violence”.

 

I’m making plans to protest daily outside my representative’s local office. Rather than appear like a crazy person, which is often the case in NYC, I want to start some political awakening in my neighborhood. I live in a Republican district of the city and my neighborhood is ripe to learn how the GOP is raping this country, removing benefits that many low income people rely on, increasing our taxes, and becoming a Fascist state.

So, does the Lemmy community have any advice? What material should I distribute? Should I read the Constitution ad nauseam?

To the Americans here, I love each and everyone of you and we all deserve a safe and prosperous nation.

To my brothers and sisters worldwide, thank you for reading and for your solidarity.
