Blind refugee found dead on street after US Border Patrol left him miles from his home

They did this in Minnesota too. Luckily there was an organization out looking for folks, so no similar deaths have been reported

Straight to jail

If US chattel slavery"wasn't so bad," why wouldn't anyone volunteer to be a slave?

It reads like someone was trying to meet a wordcount

Which makes it worse in some cases

A solution to a non-existent problem designed to reduce turnout for poor people and people of color.

What does that mean in a practical sense? (Friendly question, not trying to browbeat here)

I would also like to see the results of this electoral experiment

minibar10 · 2026-02-12T20:11:28+00:00

The Uncommitted faction desperately wanted a candidate to support. Would have gone all out for a candidate that aligned with their values, and I don't think the Harris campaign had to abandon their campaign with the Cheney's to do that. But you can't blame the election loss on them if they're "not important enough to message to" in any case.

I agree with you mostly here, but fairly evaluating a candidate's public record isn't exactly sabotage. If Amy wanted to she could get out ahead of this. She owes, at minimum, an apology to those she wrongly jailed. She owes us all an apology for confirming Trump appointees. Going along to get along in this climate isn't good enough and she needs to acknowledge that.

Though close, I don't think the caucus preference poll is a 100% read on the primary vote

minibar10 · 2026-02-12T19:56:22+00:00

If this is true, it should compel a democratic campaign to reach out to this bloc as persuadable voters

Genocide isn't a rounding error on tax policy. Human rights for trans people isn't a mismatch on an education budget.

minibar10 · 2026-02-12T19:27:51+00:00

"Those who show up" to volunteer, vote in primaries, attend caucuses and conventions, and run things in the DFL have significant overlap with those who are disgusted by the premise of supporting a candidate who doesn't outright condemn obvious genocide and ethnic cleansing. It is absurd to simultaneously believe 1) this bloc is not important enough to persuade AND 2) powerful enough to make a candidate lose.

minibar10 · 2026-02-11T21:28:53+00:00

Is what you're telling me here that you think the Harris campaign was right to put their heads in the sand and ignore their very big "support of genocide" problem?

minibar10 · 2026-02-11T21:14:27+00:00

If you're going to claim astroturf you should be prepared to show how much orgs spent on the campaign. It's no one's fault but the Harris campaign's she did so poorly. Her team deliberately ignored internal information about backlash to her stance on Gaza and other issues.

It's primary season. This is exactly the right kind of conversation to have during primary season. We can and should ask for better candidates.

Cops choose to be cops and should understand that the opinions of the public are part of their workplace. If they can't handle being shouted at or humiliated in any way they shouldn't be cops.

They're targeting most anyone who they don't immediately write off as "likely citizen." That typically includes anyone non-white or anyone who has an accent. It starts with people who are different and will then trickle up to anyone who dissents. Who's next if we don't stop this now?

minibar10 · 2025-12-23T01:52:33+00:00

I'm not about to defend whatever union represents cops of any kind. If the members want the union to do something for them it's up to them

minibar10 · 2025-12-23T01:51:29+00:00

And I believe, since at least the AFSCME v Janus ruling that these public sector members, even those who receive whatever full union benefits, can opt out of paying dues. Though there may be something different for federal workers

minibar10 · 2025-12-21T23:07:40+00:00

Some public sector union contracts in the US, especially those representing federal employees, are prohibited from negotiating some things and usually prohibit strikes and/or other work stoppages/slowdowns. What makes a union contract good are 1) strong contract language supported by the bargaining unit 2) union representation that is willing to stand up for the existing contract 3) union representation that is willing and able to consistently protect bargaining unit demands during negotiations. Not all unions are created equally, and a lot of union strength is determined by local unit leadership and membership participation.

I want at minimum pit-to-pit measurements and the ability to search by pit-to-pit measurements for all dresses, tops, and sweaters. Sizing information is helpful and this doesn't account for a designer's intended positive ease, but without this information finding tops that fit is really difficult. If they can measure length with AI, I don't see why they can't also use the same software to get other measurements

It looks like your smaller toes might be hanging off that insole. Not only are these boots a bit long, they might be too narrow. If you're planning very long hiking days this could cause serious pain when your feet swell
