It’s already not legal for ICE to hide their face and ID.

Laws are for poors, queers and browns, not for the red white and blue blooded American patriots

I’m hoping for regime change in Israel too. Really I wish the leadership of both of them to expire in their entirety.

The IDF is turning the civilian population into human shields. Here is to hoping the Israelis can find some shred humanity or responsibility and overthrow their genocidal government before they can expand their aggression even further.

Mass tourism is only a problem if you aren’t in the business of catering to tourists.

Seems like the actual problem is wages, staffing, and working conditions. The problem is greed at the top. Big fucking surprise.

Gay people still can’t get married in Israel right? So these are both awful countries run by awful people. It just so happens that Israel is the aggressor.

One party being bad doesn’t make the other party good. If we are lucky every single employed person both governments will suddenly drop dead.

I think a lot of people are glad that Israel is actually attacking somebody who can fight back now instead of more innocent defenseless children in their open air death camp.

I worked IT for two different school districts. The kids tech skills are seriously lacking.

It’s seriously basic stuff like not knowing what a url, folder, directory or path is, not knowing that files are on the computer in a folder someplace instead of in “such-and-such app”, no concept of how to even begin troubleshooting and something like a genuine fear of anything that is not an Apple interface.

The kids had windows laptops that they would use for school work but then I would find them composing everything on their iPhones only to email it to themselves and then submit it from their Windows laptops.

Things like attaching files were a real chore for people that don’t understand file systems or sizes, and it doesn’t help that many of their teachers are similarly lacking the computer skills necessary to understand where these kids are falling off.

I worked in the IT department, but I spent a lot of time talking to teachers. Several of them brought me into their classrooms to teach ‘curiosity skills’ since I think the computer can often teach you how to use it if you’re just curious enough to try.

Licenses are cheap, cars can be shared, people tend to get a license before they get a car too. You would expect licenses to be more common than ownership. Also no matter how many cars you own, it only counts as one for this stat, one car owner can own many cars and still be just one car owner.

That’s a lot of words to use just to communicate that you like the taste of boots.

A friend of mine noticed that a police car was coming up fast behind us so he told our friend with a joint to get rid of it. The police car had its lights flashing and though we were going probably 60 or 70 it was easily going 80 or 90.

The friend flicked it right out the window, and to my great horror it went right in the window of the cop car as it sailed by us. We could see it bounce into the back window like a hammer striking iron, The cab lit up brighter than I thought a single joint would shine against the glare of the cherries and berries.

We immediately got off the highway, took the first few turns we could and then parked in a driveway with all the lights off.

Two police cars drove down the street behind us with lights flashing but no sirens while we hunkered down trying to avoid being seen. We just kind of hid there for probably 40 minutes until we stop seeing police lights.

What’s the opposite of white noise? Because it’s that. That’s what I hear.

If she’s using the money and her campaign feeds homeless people to attract attention then I can’t possibly imagine how it would be misappropriating money.

Should she be paying it as a salary to one of her cousin’s, maybe she should be buying ad spots on network television?

We’re talking about her and she used the money. What the hell do you want?

It’s more like bad comedy.

At some point in the show Gallagher runs out of watermelons to smash and has to tell some jokes.

The police could learn to keep their distance and stop instigating violence. If you push people they’ll push back. If you’re armed expect them to not give you a chance to use your weapon.

The lesson here is let people do their peaceful protesting and you won’t necessitate violence.

This isn’t a right-wing protest, this crowd doesn’t want violence, it wants to be heard. This crowd is willing to use violence to ensure it’s right to be heard is preserved.

Until I can see some evidence that the unarmed crowd instigated violence against the armed police I’m going to consider the armed police to be the instigators since they showed up armed and then approached a crowd of people who were voicing their opinion.

Elon didn’t go anywhere. Him leaving was theater in the hopes that his stocks would stop cratering.

Self-preservation is a morally acceptable reason to not do something unless a reasonable case can be made that you should do that thing.

It’s not cowardly to not throw your life away for no good reason. Unless he had a moral reason to go, he had a moral right to not go.

Conscription produces bad soldiers and it’s morally reprehensible to conscript soldiers to invade a country that does not pose a threat to you.

Not wanting to bomb brown people in the name of fascism is quite a far cry from being a coward.

Vietnam should not have been invaded. Not wanting to participate in that shit show is just a reasonable moral decision.

It’s still a friendship test they just didn’t realize who was being tested.

Much of the American Christian establishment is the type of Protestant that does not consider Catholics to be Christian.

I know that doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense but that’s how Americans “do religion”.

Baptists don’t care what the Pope has to say, seventh-day Adventists think he is actually the Antichrist. Most American Catholics don’t really care what the Vatican has to say and would resent the implication that they’re supposed to give a shit about the Pope’s opinion.

Americans just don’t do religion very well.
