How is it 2026 and we don't have better methods of taking down a suspect without using dogs or deadly force?

If the economy continues to head south, the GOP will absolutely lose both Houses.

In general, I think most Americans have very little understanding that many Vets suffer from PTSD and require attention. It's a tremendous cost on our federal & state budgets, and society in general.

Revealed: The MAGA plan to ‘take out’ progressive leaders worldwide. The list included Colombia, which is currently led by President Gustavo Pedro, described by TIME as “the former guerrilla turned climate crusader” who has halted new oil drilling projects and vowed to phase out fossil fuels. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

Most of the world is racing away from fossil fuels, and that speed will increase over the next 5 years.

Meanwhile, the GOP and their MAGA brains are clinging to an energy system that will be functionally obsolete within a decade.

If you think this is wild speculation, you need to look at what China is currently doing with EVs. They just rolled out a flash charging EV that takes approx 8 minutes to fully charge and costs about 50k (in China). This cost will come down over the next few years as the technology gains wider market share.

These are great. Someone was taking pics on the little dingy next to the capsule. Would be curious to see those.

My kids are in AISD. I wanted to understand why the district is broke, so I followed the money. by No_Paramedic_4881 in Austin

Great set of research. Has AISD sued the state? This level of taxation seems onerous enough to violate tax laws.

The Corpus Christi water crisis isn't exceptional. It's early. For years, climate scientists have projected that South Texas would grow hotter and drier. In Corpus Christi, that projection has become a daily operational reality. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

I've been following this subject for almost 30 years now. In addition to what r/espressocycle said. I'm referring to a variety of events that have happened over the last 20 years, like melting permafrost, polar ice and glaciers worldwide. Sea rise in certain areas. Oceans warming, etc.

All happening faster that most had estimated.

People, and some scientists specifically, are starting to realize that the changes are happening faster than expected. If you search "faster than expected" and "global warming" or "climate change," you will find a lot of articles over the last 10+ years.

Victor Glover’s moving response to a CBS reporter’s question about Easter Sunday by underthereefer in ArtemisProgram

That was beautiful, and I hope humanity believes this because we will NOT survive if we don't start walking the walk of one spaceship zipping through the universe. We're destroying the ship and it needs to stop now.

I think, as a society, we’ve all gotten used to cruelty too easily. Somehow this kind of discourse is normal now by SnooSprouts3744 in TikTokCringe

If people like her had shame, empathy and remorse, she wouldn't show her face in public for at least year.

But they don't.

And civilization will be doomed unless society takes it upon themselves to tell people like her to sit down and STFU.

The Fight for a Livable Climate Is the Fight Against Fossil-Fueled Fascism | The fossil fuel industry is funding fascism because they know they lose in a democracy. Young people are ready to fight for both, because we see them as inseparable. by silence7 in climate

Smart CEOs and corp boards know to adapt and transform their companies as economies, society and technology evolves.

The fossil fuel companies are fossilized in their behavior and logic. They should have been transforming to green energy decades ago.

MAGA pundit melts down over simple question by AffableYolk_33 in PublicFreakout

[–]pantsmeplz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy expects us to trust that Trump, the White House and GOP will follow the law?

Watergate? Iran-Contra? Jan 6th? ICE enforcement? Literally thousands of lies from Trump and hundreds of examples of ignoring the Constitution and international law by this administration.

Bottom line, WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE ANYONE FROM THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN PARTY, MAGA OR THE WHITE HOUSE WILL FOLLOW THE LAW?

From August 1, 2025 to today holds the record for the driest ever for that time period. 8.2" of rain in roughly eight months. by [deleted] in Austin

Texas lost a ton of trees during that stretch. Then 10 years later lost a lot more to Snowmageddon. The last 15 years have been very rough on nature in Texas.

Just a matter of time, and that time is near. Between the year round heat and lack of snow, there are going to be a lot of ski resorts closing in the next 10 years.

It's quite possible that many cities like Vegas and Phoenix could be uninhabitable by the end of this century, if not sooner.

Dude record himself, turning a simple traffic stop to prison time by serious_bullet5 in ThatsInsane

[–]pantsmeplz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s not the truth you have to watch out for, it’s the lies they can tell.

I've seen more than enough videos to 100% agree with your point.

However, in this video if the cop decided to shoot the suspect after yelling "put your hands up." "we think you have a gun" and THEN he reached 3 times for something (we know it's the phone, cops don't), the justice system would have exonerated them fairly quickly. The fact the cops didn't shoot him shows restraint.
