He’s been a fraud for a long while now (probably his whole career back to NYPD, which pains me a bit to say because iirc he got his start calling out their racism), if he keeps trying to delegitimize the will of the voters like this we can start adding things like “tyrant” and “traitor” to his titles

I can’t speak to the headline editor’s intentions, but “detainees drop off the grid” seems like a lot less clear way of stating the substance of this situation than, for example, “ICE has stopped reporting on the status and location of over 1,000 detainees who were last seen in their custody at Alligator Auschwitz”. Like, the subject of that sentence should be ICE because they are the ones doing something here, not the detainees.

I don’t want to be too critical, I’m really glad this is being reported on, I can just imagine a conservative reading that headline and thinking “The illegals got out and hid somewheres even after we threw 'em in the swamp dungeon? Bah gawd, we need to crack down on these invaders even harder!”

e; fixed the capitalization on “detainees” to match the headline and added a second sentence to my first paragraph

Trump says

Have these killings been confirmed by any reputable sources?

Very important story, but super confusing headline. It doesn’t seem that any of these people were ever formally released from ICE custody, so saying they dropped off the grid - like, they chose to disappear - seems totally unsupported.

What happened here is that they were disappeared by our government. We do not know where they are because of something that was done to them without their consent, and that should make any rational and decent person extremely concerned for these individuals’ physical safety.

Yeah, they’re probably the best large American news reporting organization left, but they are far far far from perfect and their biggest problem is they try to normalize and sanitize everything the United States does

If he had actually gotten connected with any decent left wing group - instead of just being stuck mostly alone in Utah to stew with his (totally understandable) anger at the things Kirk was saying - that group probably would have told him something like “bro, chill, shooting people is only going to make shit worse for everybody we care about, now wash these dishes instead so we can open the soup kitchen on time tonight, we got hungry neighbors”

Also, he’s psychologically (and probably intellectually) incapable of evaluating criticism as anything other than an attack on him personally, which is both pathetic and very dangerous. Literally no reasoning with these people.

Is there optimism dropping after Kirk’s killing because they realize they’ve been sucked into a fascist political movement that’s pressure cooking the entire country and provoking violent outbursts? Or are they on some “I am very sad that we will have to throw all the trans people into death camps” bullshit?

In a chaotic scene at an immigration detention facility in the Chicago suburbs, Illinois Democratic candidates running for Congress said they were tear-gassed, shot with pepper balls and shoved to the ground by federal agents on Friday while protesting against President Donald Trump’s immigration surge into the city.

Fucking pathetic journalism when you can’t even describe what you can see with your own eyes on recordings to your readers

I think the algorithm knew just enough to guess “hey that’s a skirt and hey that’s an exposed leg, and images with those things in them do really with certain customers, and since this was posted by an adult’s account I should auto generate an ad with these images and show it to those customers” but not enough to realize “this is a picture of a child posted by their adult parent’s account”

Stupid parents

Idgaf how stupid their parents are, kids should be protected from being fucking pimped out to sell meta’s brainwashing trash

Is the picture sexual or not?

Give me a break, if we know fucking anything about human sexuality its that different people get aroused by different shit, and sometimes they get aroused by shit they shouldn’t, like children

who cares how some guy looks at it

It feels worth noting here that what actually happened is a single 37 year old dude took it upon himself to call a newspaper and say “yo, Facebook is shoving a bunch of schoolgirls pictures in my face, no boys, just girls, like I think they expect me to be into it, and that feels wrong.” There was no creepy man in this story, the only creep here was the algorithm.

I’m sure everyone who was so up in arms about political violence earlier this week will be rushing to condemn this violent attack on free speech /s

Previously ICE chased someone in LA out on to a busy roadway where they were struck and killed by a third party driver, that’s the only other murder I know of they’ve committed during an attempted kidnapping this year. I believe there have also been multiple instances of people dying from what appear to be preventable illnesses and a lack of medical care in detention, but I don’t have exact numbers there (of course, with as much information as they conceal I don’t think anybody does yet).

It must be stopped though, because long term there is nowhere we can run from the US military and the US nuclear arsenal

That said, in the short term please do whatever keeps you safe

Police departments in cities all over the country have used absolute bullshit to call people who only made the mistake of being born into “bad” neighborhoods gang members for years

Reluctant upvote for useful general information, but you still haven’t provided a solid source in these comments for the discussion happening here.

Some people can’t install a plugin on their machine (like, maybe it’s a locked down work terminal) and some people don’t have time to read the full article (like, maybe they work a crappy retail job like I used to and they’ll have to hide their phone the second a customer approaches their kiosk). If you want to be helpful and have the time, please answer questions with quotes from the article.

(Also, for the record and because I have seen some moderators on this site worry about catching DMCA claims - nobody posts archive links to defeat paywall and pirate copyrighted content, we just do it to preserve a version of the article as it was at the time this post was made, which is a totally permissible reason for doing so)

I wouldn’t trust a doctor in rural Mississippi if I had any other options and the same goes for coroners. Let’s see what the state lab says.

I mean, I don’t find it that hard to believe that a multi-billion dollar for profit automaker wasn’t actually that upset about their workers being manhandled and is willing to pay protection money to an authoritarian stooge. Idk about Hyundai specifically, but companies like them used sweatshops in countries under dictatorships before and did business in pretty much this same way.

Republicans voted unanimously to pass the resolution.

…

This is just a simple resolution, which means for now, it is not enshrined in the law and does not require a full Senate vote.

I’m pretty sure that’s just a vote to schedule the vote in the house

Axios (arc) is reporting

The U.S. Senate on Thursday passed a resolution to create a “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), said she was planning to vote against the House resolution

That was from about 8 hours ago, so unless the house did like a 2am vote on this since that article was published I think it hasn’t happened yet
