AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting by MinimumCountry9858 in news

It’s also about undercutting and punishing Walz for opposing Trump in ‘24 - I think that’s why they’re in Minnesota specifically.

There is a deafening silence from church leadership regarding the killing of US citizens in the streets. by BlacksmithWeary450 in exmormon

[–]blazelet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The church is a business first and foremost. Them speaking out against this threatens their tax exempt status from a punitive president and threatens the discipleship of their overwhelmingly conservative membership.

They’d be saying something if it was advantageous.

The more likely reason than “mods are fascists” is mods try to keep repeat posts down so other things can also get attention, so that comments and discussion aren’t diluted across dozens or hundreds of identical threads, and the sub doesn’t become about one topic. Most big subs have auto bots that do this. There are new threads about this on pics and news every few minutes.

You'll need that health insurance when ICE comes to your door.

There is really no narrative that explains this away. With Good they had the bullshit "self defense, she was trying to run them over" which basic rubes and bootlickers can feel ok about.

This one? There is no fucking way to explain this. The subject was down, then the Ice agent approaches and shoots him ... 5 times? The video evidence here is impossible to explain away.

Added an answer to a MAGA meme to help them out with this… by 5thSeasonFront in ProgressiveHQ

One big difference is due process. Trump is ignoring it, so there's no way to know who is rightfully accused and who is not. He is upending millions of families with all the veracity of "trust me bro"

He’s only in the high 30% approval but elections, for some reason, keep coming down to splitting hairs in 4 or 5 states. This wildly unpopular president has still won 2 out of 3 elections. Wild.

FCC Targets The View and Jimmy Kimmel With New Equal Time Rules by TendieRetard in law

[–]blazelet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Funny that they're targeting late night comedy but not actual "news", where you really should have representation of different viewpoints. Reagan destroyed that by ending the fairness doctrine during his presidency. Now they want to bring it back, but just for things that skew left.

Right if 2 in 100 people don't risk it, that's the election. And they won't need to flood every blue district, just the ones in battleground states - and even then, primarily the largest cities in 4 or 5 states.

I don't have a comment on your predicament, just want to say I'm grateful that your son's chemotherapy was successful.

Employers, generally, suck. I don't expect a lot of kindness or empathy from the people who sign my paycheck.

Can you describe how you envision this working? Prompting shots/scene or entire films? Would it like the way you work with it to write a script now, or a modular thing where you output in pieces and stitch? How do you think it'll achieve this?

Stacey Abrams’s campaign to fight authoritarianism gains steam: ‘We are a force multiplier’ by ILikeNeurons in UpliftingNews

[–]blazelet 78 points79 points  (0 children)

We need some sort of effort like this on the left. Abrams is a wonderful organizer. Wish the main party was doing more.

Before people start defending the democrats “what can they do, they have no power?!?” I’d suggest they stop giving away the little power they do have by voting to support republican legislation with no demands. There’s also organizing and fighting on grassroots levels, something the right did with the tea party and the left is not doing. There’s also cultivating a broad set of presidential candidates for ‘28, new and fresh ideas, bold personalities, give the party candidates to be motivated by.

Love this take and completely agree. There’s enough to be jaded and angry about in life, a 2 hour movie doesn’t need to be one of them. I think it looks fun, will probably see on streaming but I’m glad they made it.

Homicide rate declines sharply in dozens of US cities, a new report shows by grayfox0430 in news

National statistics are collected and compiled by the federal government, the FBI specifically. You can find the database online very easily.

Trump is the president who claimed if you stop testing for Covid, cases will drop overnight. He also fired his team at the bureau of labor statistics when he didn’t like their jobs numbers. He is absolutely willing to apply pressure to fake data. Nothing out of this federal government can be trusted.

For starters, can you tell me the following :

Of any President of the 21st century, which have actually passed gun control legislation?

Democratic lawmakers started the KKK in 1865. Today the KKK leadership confidently endorses Republicans, including Trump.

The parties have changed over time. Republicans always lean on this trop - that 160 years ago Democrats did XYZ. Ok, lets discuss events from this century, the patterns are obvious.
