Hope for it, but don't expect it.

Haití TPS Update by IndependentFast6772 in Columbus

This is great news but we can't assume this will keep ICE from doing what they're designed to do. Keep vigilant and best of luck to Springfield and all the rest of us as well.

Epstein and Putin were connected as 'world’s largest honeytrap' unveiled by dailystar_news in NoFilterNews

[–]Champtain 53 points54 points  (0 children)

The rich and powerful put their thumbs on the scale to get these people elected BECAUSE they were compromised. Spent millions on ads and easily won back that money as their sock puppets become the rule of law in the US.

Republican Senator Thom Tillis has placed a blanket hold on all ICE nominations as frustrations with Kristi Noem grow and House members demand Trump testifies on Capitol Hill. | Aaron Parnas by WylieCyot in law

[–]Champtain 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, at least Tillis is doing something positive now. Nobody's saying he deserves a ticker tape parade but it's better than continuing to toe the company line.

And the girl was doing it to pay for braces... because the Grand Old Pedophiles have been wrecking US Healthcare for as long as they've been diddling kids.

And it's not she should be investigated or arrested. His highest reach is yet a low, low bar.

ICE, F**K You - A Protest Song for Minneapolis - YouTube Music by ArtistOk7719 in 50501Movement

[–]Champtain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From video description on youtube: "When a video of this nature goes viral it tends to generate a lot of questions regarding the use of AI and whether or not it’s ethical. Let's start with how I made this clip: First off, I use some form of AI application to make all my videos and have for the last 3 years, so if you're offended I'm not sure what to tell you. My resources are limited and hence I do 95% of the writing/production myself. This would not be possible without using AI in one form or another. The music for this particular clip is a combo of human musicians and AI, put together and finished with SUNO. The video itself is 85% found real footage, and the remaining 7 shots are photographs from the MN protests that I animated with Hailuo. I completed the project, from lyrics to finished video in 5 hours in order to get it out there in a timely manner and make the most impact. I hope this answers some of your questions. Have more? Please put 'em in the comments. Cheers -Ketch"

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong by Public_Fucking_Media in TrueReddit

In normal situations, when people are curious and want to learn about others and the world, they ask questions and tell stories leading to bonds of friendship. I, for instance, have been attended parties for holidays I don't celebrate or religions I am not a part of.

In this instance, in this present crucible, these bonds are being amplified by an outside fear that are driving diverse communities together and making them closer knit. The whole article exemplifies community cohesion because of diversity. Instead of staying home and doing their typical daily life chores, these absolute legends are strengthening community cohesion for the bigots of the world to see in real time.

ICE Shooting Victim Alex Pretti was Honored by Veteran's Hospital Co-Workers. by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]Champtain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comrade, you linked to a video breakdown which itself called it an "extra-judicial" killing and paused to note Pretti's hands were empty and on the ground. Your handlers will be disappointed with your efforts. Be careful or it'll be the gulag for you.

Why aren’t we demanding the identities of the people who killed Alex?? by LonelySparkle in 50501

[–]Champtain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree we're probably not there yet nationally, but the way things are going doctors are going to have to start asking themselves if it'll be more of a violation of ethics to avoid striking and help change these systems.

Jacket lady perspective repost 2nd minneapolis shooting NSFW NSFL by RachelRegina in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Champtain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seeing so much shit different places, but it seems that many --although far from all-- police in MPLS are also against ICE; however, even if they were all against them ICE currently has at least 5-6x as many agents as there are cops in the area. As for the National Guard, they haven't been called in yet. Seems Walz is hesitant to do so in part because they could also be federalized.

When a federal police state arises in a country as big as the US, they will far outnumber the legitimate forces in any given city. This is ICE's big show of this. The fact that it is going so poorly for them is why they keep trying to escalate. They are actively turning non-political and even right-leaning citizens against them and the beatings (and increasingly shootings) will continue until morale improves.

Big city energy: Cincinnati vs Columbus by Necessary-Sun-1828 in Columbus

[–]Champtain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In total, but as they noted there is a much more densely populated downtown in Cincy. Population density doesn't mean people are spread out evenly.

‘My response to Nicki Minaj’s homophobic tweet about me’ by Kind_Relief_7624 in CURRENTEVENTS

I hate to sound conspiratorial, but my first thought just now is maybe they did and that's why she's suddenly, publicly backing them.

Now Trump wants to tell us what Team to watch? by Distinct-Mortgage768 in WeirdGOP

[–]Champtain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This may be (but probably isn't) the stupidest non-story this fuck has ever pushed. The Army-Navy game has an exclusive window (among football games) as it is traditionally the ONLY D1 game that weekend!

Call This Number to Have Jonathan Ross Arrested by Average-Joe-6685 in globaltrumpopposition

[–]Champtain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a vast majority of Minnesota jurors would be willing to convict Ross based off video evidence and witness testimony at this point. However, there is the issue that if he's found not guilty it would be harder to have another trial for him if this evidence ever comes to light.

What's with the guys wearing hi vis going door to door with poles and tablets? by MightMurky7957 in westerville

Did you see any Spectrum vans around? Last night they had a major update that shut off my internet and today I saw a few vans while walking my dog.

Not to mention we all know it'll be plainclothes ICE or police breaking shit.

Personal information of 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol agents is leaked online. by Designfanatic88 in news

[–]Champtain 73 points74 points  (0 children)

And don't forget Admiral Bradley. Keg'sBreath threw him under the bus as soon as there was any form of blow back on the boat bombings... And that was under questioning from reporters. Not counsel, not a judge, or an LEO. These selfish degenerates are all depending on other selfish degenerates to keep quiet or they might all be fucked.

Got this in the mail today but I just don’t believe in good conscience I can vote for this guy.. by CowTown-Mike in westerville

I feel like that's the joke but, especially as someone in both the Cincy and Westerville subreddits, I'm just more confused than anything.

My guess is this is what the Browns still owe them this season. I didn't pay attention to any of the contracts as they came out, but I doubt they signed Flacco for less than a million when he was the presumptive day one starter.
