According to the original article, he was here legally waiting until their court date in 2027 to see a judge. He is not a US citizen, but he also is not an “illegal alien.”

No alleged history of crime. No crime in process when detained. Was following the immigration process.

If anyone wants to argue with you about others who have been detained and deported as being “criminals” or “illegals,” this should be evidence to the fact that it isn’t true and ICE doesn’t care. We’re in the slippery slope now.

"These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada's unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition, especially in Agriculture," he continued. "Our Great U.S. Dairy Farmers deserve fair treatment from Canada. Enjoy it while you can!"

The bastard cries about “unfair policies” that use tariffs to protect a country’s industry and yet in his own Steel and Aluminum tariffs declaration he stated:

“To allow U.S. aluminum producers to restart production and to incentivize new capacity, additional adjustments to section 232 tariffs on aluminum need to be made, including limiting exemptions and increasing the tariff rate.”

Literal toddler tantrums.

Maybe I’m stuck in the last decade, but these prices seem insane. I know we’ve yet to see what a 5050 (lol) or 5060 would be capable of or its price point. However launching at $549 as your lowest card feels like a significant amount of the consumer base won’t be able to buy any of these.

Nah. It’s worked for 50 years and if we get another 30 then it’s done its job well. Government is supposed to review and adjust things as time goes on and Social Security Numbers weren’t intended to uniquely identify citizens. They probably expected an overhaul to be done by 2020.

They fact that we haven’t reworked portions of it and rely on SSNs to identify citizens shows that we haven’t had a forward-thinking Congress in the last 20 years at minimum.

Oddly enough, the way the text is spaced across SpongeBob and Patrick caused me to read it in a “don’t dead open inside” way but the sentence still works

And the Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly going to sue in court this week to have it overturned while telling us that it’s actually pro-employee to not be able to work elsewhere because of overreaching NCAs.

Oh wait…

“Petah, what’s a helicopter doing in our living room?!”

“Shut up, Lois, I’m LARPing”

Yup. And the only way to get them to stop is to embarrass them.

“So, when are you planning on having kids?”

“I dunno, maybe when I’m no longer infertile.”

The article went into a level of depth that I did not expect from the first paragraph. I strongly encourage all to read it in full. The effects of services and support being cut really highlights how regressive past and pending changes are for families of and individuals with Autism, plus a warning of a cycle that is set to repeat.

So somehow our representatives are fine with auto-enrollment of citizens for the draft, but a number of them oppose auto-enrollment for voting?

signalgate blunder

Can we fucking not add “-gate” to the end of everything that happens? It’s so overused that it diminishes the importance of actually-dangerous events like this one.

I’ll throw in the “basic” choice of Fuck tha Police by N.W.A.

Some of the jury candidate descriptions listed by the Washington Post seem to get a little too close to outlining some people’s identities.

For example:

The ninth prospective juror is a social media marketer for Fan Duel, a sports betting app. She watches sports and reality television and her father, brother and boyfriend work in finance. She uses Goole, Facebook, X, TikTok and Instagram.

(Emphasis mine)

It’s not incredibly specific but it’s enough information for motivated persons to use. I mean, it only takes her LinkedIn or Facebook profile to state she’s in New York and works for Fan Duel. Next thing you know, she’ll be getting death threats.

This is the type of information that needs to be put on full blast in the state. If they believe children cannot consent, cannot be old enough to make their own decisions, and cannot escape their parent’s control, then this needs to be shoved into their faces. You want to make abortion illegal? Fine, but either you make an exception that allows minors to undergo the process or be fed details on the consequences of your decisions on a daily basis. You don’t get to sweep this under the rug and pretend it doesn’t involve you. YOU put this additional barrier upon a minor; YOU decided the child must undergo birthing that baby; YOU prioritized the fetus over the human.

The policy now reads: “[Office of Intelligence and Analysis] Personnel are prohibited from engaging in intelligence activities based solely on an individual’s or group’s race, ethnicity, sex, religion, country of birth, nationality, or disability.” Notably absent is mention of similar protections for the LGBTQ community.

Technically this means that sexual preference itself can be used as the sole basis for intelligence gathering (OSINT or FIP) by DHS agents. The LGBTQ community lost all protections here previously gained, and everyone could wind up paying the price for it.

They should also compare shrinkflation. If a burger price rises by 25% but it’s size shrinks by 10%, the cost is much higher as you’re paying more for less.
