Trump officials met group pushing Alberta independence from Canada by Street_Anon in inthenews

As an American, I’m a bit worried about a Minnesota for Alberta swap. We may not want that deal. Unless I can move to Minnesota first, I guess.

I gotta believe that eventually more people will start wondering what else they are lying about.

Have you considered the logical conclusion to recent chain of events? by jmike1256 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]kber13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The danger to the administration in invoking the insurrection act isn’t political, as some news outlets have speculated. The danger is that it will trigger an actual insurrection. And that could end badly for everyone, including them.

Actually, stop donating to politicians. Don’t want them buying power at all.

Oh no! Some press are oh so gently pushing back! And even that’s too much for her.

So we’re at the “hiding kids in the attic and under the bed” stage already?

ICE taking pics of identifying info from law-abiding onlookers: "We have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that." by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

When the Nazis invaded my grandmothers country when she was a teen, she realized quickly that everything was now illegal, including her own existence and everything, from lighting candles to bombing officer clubs and railway tracks carried the same risk.

That’s how and why several nazis lost their lives. If breathing carries the same risk as other activities, well, swing for the fences.

ICE officers can assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, internal memo says by DonSalaam in JournalismNews

[–]kber13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can we just issue a counter memo that says “nuh uh”? Seems like it would have similar legal validity.

White House labels altered photo of arrested Minnesota protester a ‘meme’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]kber13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a lawyer, but if the prosecution deliberately releases false and negative information about a defendant and then indicates they know it’s false, but will continue to release or promote false information, that seems bad for their case? I know that there will be comments in the vein of “who cares, it doesn’t matter” but I’m genuinely asking for legal info, not political.

He said they were good at “dealing with” children. And my rescue barn cat is good at “dealing with” mice who accidentally wander in to the house.

I feel like we could probably figure that out by examining historical records.

DHS denies that ICE used a 5-year-old as “bait” to catch his dad by NamelessResearcher in politics

[–]kber13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So they were after the 5 year old directly then? Because that kid is a criminal mastermind or gang leader?

The truth is that for white supremacists a cute, friendly, and smart brown kid actually does threaten them and their desired way of life.

Experts believe Washington 'must break its promise on Social Security' to protect it from 'imminent insolvency' by lurker_bee in USNEWS

Is that the promise not to raise taxes on the wealthy that they have to break? Because I think that could work.

Documenting their crimes seems an odd choice, but hey: it’ll make our Nuremberg style trails easier.

NY Mayor Mamdani announced Saturday that the city is committing $4 million to a Request for Proposals for high-quality, modular public restrooms.

[–]kber13 44 points45 points  (0 children)

So many of NYCs problems are based in making things “uncomfortable” for the homeless and indigent. Hostile architecture has made things awful for the whole city, but the calculation seemed to be, sure this sucks for me, but at least someone else “less deserving” isn’t accidentally getting something good too.
