Answer: somebody got paid.

This mirrors what’s happening with men of the same age in the US.

So killing her doesn’t work, they bring an ambulance, take her to the hospital, let her go back to prison for a year and wait for them to try again?

This wouldn’t be a proper Reddit replacement if an anonymous user didn’t take the time out of his day to type that “free rein” was the correct spelling here

We on Lemmy instances are tryna do the same thing with social media

Every headline aiming to justify Jonathan Ross’ shot into the car obfuscates the fact that deliberately placed himself in front of her vehicle.

Headlines like this get us talking about exactly what they want us to talk about: whether or not Jonathan Ross was struck by a vehicle.

What we’re not supposed to talk about is why Jonathan Ross created the opportunity to be struck, or what led to him being struck and dragged by another vehicle six months ago.

In 2014 DHS published an internal audit report stating that on dozens of occasions their officers would intentionally stand in the path of vehicles to fraudulently justify use of force in shooting the drivers out of “frustration.”

It was such an issue that DHS had to issue an entirely new handbook and guidance explicitly training their agents not to stand in front of cars on purpose.

They have tons of instances of their officers intentionally blocking a vehicle for the sole purpose of then firing at it - and their policy is officially that their agents should never do that.

From the document: "It should be recognized that a 1/2 ounce (200 grain) bullet is unlikely to stop a 4,000 pound moving vehicle, and if the driver of the approaching vehicle is disabled by a bullet, the vehicle will become a totally unguided threat.

Obviously, shooting at a moving vehicle can pose a risk to bystanders including other agents."

There is little doubt that the safest course for an agent faced with an oncoming vehicle is to get out of the way of the vehicle."

The actual handbook is available here: https://imlive.s3.amazonaws.com/Federal%20Government/ID255426897069329047495080324203699905714/2.2.1_Attachment%2021%20-%20ICE%20Firearms%20and%20Use%20of%20Force%20Directive%20and%20Handbook.pdf

Page 12 includes the following:

4) Deadly force is not authorized solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect.

Deadly force against a fleeing subject is only authorized if there is probable cause to believe that the escape of the suspect would pose an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or another person.

This was a classic in the Bush era and it’s even more important now.

At work, where we collect customer data, folks from Mexico are hesitant to reveal identifying info. Farms are understaffed. Every group of dark-tinted SUVs might be another armored column for ICE.

For any Americans reading this wondering what you would have done in late-1930s Germany, you get up in the mornings now and you have your answer.

The author questions what Trump means by “slow things down a little bit” while I’m out here wondering how he defines “legal workers.”

I’m imagining how this might look in California: brought back into the country by your employer? For the benefit of your employer? In a HCOL part of the country? Without a working SSN?

Welcome to endentured servitude.

Moving quickly and destabilizing things is exactly the move, because the folks who have to pick up the pieces and hold him accountable will do so by following process, which is a lengthier, arduous, and scheduled series of actions that will be dragged along in his wake as he barrels through the government.

This is awesome, as is the number of people over in the XDA comments all finding a way to get angry at software they’ve never used.

Parking lot attendant for a couple of lawyers looking to make money with an unused, vacant lot in the city.

Every weekend, I must have had about a dozen cars towed and about as many times been angrily filmed with (the then new) iPhone cameras stuck in my face.

This and so many other reasons to pick a Linux distro and never look back.

In the past, say, dozen years, the way in which we consume media has become niche, and corridored straight to us.

Back in 1996, you graduated in a year when everyone would have seen the same yada-yada bit on Seinfeld and then talked about it the next day.

In 2026, what we see are our own narrowed corridors of media, brought to us twofold by the algorithm and the ease with which we can navigate to exactly what interests us.

Sometimes it feels good to find your place until…until you realize it’s isolating.

MVP of the evening is the extension cord routed from a non-GFCI outlet elsewhere in the house

How receptive his speech patterns have become should concern us all. Clearly the Stephen Millers and Kushners in his life are the non-elected decision makers in the presidency.

I still remember stocking hand sanitizer and black nitrile gloves in my retail stores, late February 2020. That was us getting ready.

Jump to the second week of March and California announcing a stay-at-home order. I had to go secure our stores for being unoccupied. On the way there is was dozens of miles of empty LA freeways, and news radio all about people suffocating on ventilators and sanitizing everything that came into your house. Then, walking alone through empty malls, avoiding anyone else who was there. It felt like we were shutting down the for good.

Am I the only one who sees even those projected figures as dramatically underwhelming given the amount of money investors are pumping into this shit?

I’m surprised it was a memo and not another Signal chat
