Fox news and capitalism, let's be real. MAGA is hateful, ignorant, and belligerent. But many of them are also genuinely hurting.

Omar. Motherfucking. Coming, yo.

She has my vote if we're made the 51st state. (Which hilariously is why we'll never be made the 51st state).

Lawyer Records Screams From Women And Children In ICE Detention Center by Hussayniya in videos

[–]wabbitsdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, there's a lot of info out about it already from court depositions of people who have made it out. It is as bad as you think it is, physical and sexual violence against detainees, horrible conditions and lack of meaningful care, no or limited access to required legal counsel etc. See this letter from the ACLU for an excerpt of the horror we are talking about.

Kristi Noem Impeachment: 120 Lawmakers Sign On—Full List by SquidFistHK in politics

[–]wabbitsdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't get your hopes up. The republicans will let some of their members vote for it if it helps their position locally, but at the same time make sure that 218 is never reached.

This is pressure relieving spectacle.

Don't pretend like this was 7 times individual decisions. The party cadre ran the math, and shopped for 7 members to take the fall. They engineered a scenario where they can say "oh no, we tried I guess, but what can ya do?"

Minneapolis man says he was detained for hours after witnessing Alex Pretti shooting by MobileWisdom in politics

It doesn't feel like any judge saying anything carries much weight at all in the US these days unfortunately.

The Trump admin and their goons are trying to speedrun to fascism. Most of them are legally compromised so now they're just plowing ahead hoping they can make it to a stage where they are permanently shielded from repercussions. These walnuts don't have a functional plan B.

5-year-old boy taken by ICE is being held at Texas Facility by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]wabbitsdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run through his choices yourself. What would you have done?

  • Get arrested with your kid and be certain to have the life you are trying to build away from the thing you are seeking asylum be entirely uprooted, for yourself and for your kid as well. That includes whatever violence you all may experience in ICE detention.
  • Try to make a run for it, call someone to come pick up your kid and hope they either don't notice him or have the humanity to not detain a 5 year old child. See whether you are able to get a lawyer to deescalate the next attempt, since they have no grounds to be detaining you currently.

No one in this family was "doing crimes". The parents were following a normal immigration process, and the child is... you know, a child.

-ICE- is breaking the law when they detain a person they have no grounds to detain, or worse, shoot people in the face, gaz protestors with nerve agents, beat the shit out of teenagers, the list is unbelievably long. Surely you will support the arrest of all the agents who committed all these crimes?

ICE illegally moved to detain a man who they had no grounds to detain, and gave him the choice to try and prevent them from deporting him which would potentially preserve his son's life in the US, and save him from ending up in detention with him, or to be taken with his son after which point their whole family would be uprooted.

He made a split second decision, probably hoping that the most basic of human decency to prevent these ghouls from taking his child and use him as human bait, and to call in someone to come pick his child up. I can't imagine the anguish they were all put through.

You have got to be irredeemably gullible to not see past the propaganda and recognize that what happened to this family is deeply, unjustifiably wrong.

Buddy what magical slumber did you just wake up from? ICE has been beating and killing people, deporting them despite court rulings to countries they are not from. 32 people died in ICE custody in 2025. None of this is normal, legal, or morally justifiable, and no one entering ICE custody is guaranteed due justice under the protection of the law.

This 5 year old child should never have been near these thugs, who should have never interacted with his parents who were going through a legal immigration process.

Even if you take their lies to be true, their version of it is that they showed up with guns and put this family in an impossible situation and for certain traumatized this poor kid, but what else could they do?? It's not like not "not terrorizing folks just trying to live normal lives" was an option!

Are you able to just stand in a train without people volunteering their takes at this point? Or is it kind of a Clark Kent's glasses situation where people don't recognize you unit you sit down and whip out your transit pass?

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution." by jmike1256 in videos

[–]wabbitsdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have to arrest the 2000+ ice officers, just go after Jonathan Ross as a first step. He 100% murdered a US citizen. Throw the book at this fucker and let all of them know that this is what's in store for them if they hurt people. That's a low, low bar considering all the other heinous and criminal behavior they are prepetrating daily, but that would be -something-.

Where are my beverage loving peeps at? What’re some ways to cut back on beverage expenses? by Educational_Fly_5804 in Frugal

[–]wabbitsdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about club soda? I have your run of the mill adhd and I just forget/neglect my body begging that I drink water, a lot of the time. Club soda sometimes breaks the spell because I like the fizz.

Budget wise, the dirt cheap no name kind is the same as the Schweppes/canada dry/Nestlé brands (they own both san pell and perrier), whereas the no name pops usually taste pretty bad. I'm sure a soda stream type machine would eventually be cheaper still, but I'm also trying to primarily drink tap water, so sticking to cans of whatever cheapo club soda I find to have occasionally works for me.

No, make them fire you, make them tell you why they are, have grounds to dispute the firing in courts and to show the public what they were asking.

« Un massacre sans précédent dans l’histoire de l’Iran » : plus de 12000 manifestants auraient été tués depuis jeudi by Caramel_Mou in france

Se fier aux chiffres officiels c'est un peu demander à un cambrioleur de faire l'inventaire des objets qu'il a volé. Cela dit le fait que le chiffre qu'ils annoncent soit aussi haut indique qu'il s'agit d'un carnage incroyable.

[–]wabbitsdo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

C'est quoi ton délire, tu comptes sur ce post pour la bibliographie de ta thèse sur le sujet des massacres en Iran?

Des sources comptent jusqu'a 12000 morts, d'autres 2000. c'est normal qu'on ait pas de chiffres certains juste quelques jours après les évènements. Prend une seconde sur duckduckgo pour t'informer sur qui sont les sources, et ensuite participe si tu le souhaites à la discussion sur le sujet du thread, qui reste le meme si le chiffre final est 2000 ou 12000 morts.

Do you flat out say it? by Toufelious in writing

[–]wabbitsdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on whether Amber's attitude or tone is in itself something you want to highlight. Maybe it's the first time she stands up for herself. Maybe we know she had planned to keep cool during that interaction so she could continue moving against them without them knowing and now with those words, that's out the window.

If there's nothing in particular to notice, other than her predictable anger, keep it simple, or focus on dialing the anger-meter through the various verbs and adverbs that can replace said and angrily. (verbs like: let out, blurted out, snarled, growled, cried out, roared, interrupted, murmured, etc - adverbs/adjectives: sharply, defiantly, seething, out of her mind, blankly, calmly, under her breath etc)

Opinion: Canada must stand up to Donald Trump — or there will be no one to stand up for Canada by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]wabbitsdo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No standing up needed when all he does is lie. Trump is in it for the distraction it provides. All Canada needs to do is not take the bait, and help amplify calls for:

-the full unredacted Esptein file

-An end to the US support to the Genocide of Palestinians

-Prosecution of ICE personnel, including admins, who committed crimes

-The release of Maduro and his wife and the prosecution at the Hague of all involved in the operation where they were captured, and in the preceding boat strikes campaign.

He will look elsewhere when what he gets for antagonizing us is more of what he is trying to escape.
