Vapid is a great way to describe centrists.

There was a supreme court ruling on this during Trump 1 I believe. They do not need to read rights any more.

I was wrong, Biden’s term, not that it matters. https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/supreme-court-rejects-promise-miranda-rights

This guy was denied his rights and was ruled against. Constitution be damned. It doesn’t change the golden rule of dealing with cops though: Do not engage in conversations with cops without a lawyer. They can ask you where you’re going and some general questions about what’s in your possession currently. Outside of this it is best to disengage and defer to your lawyer or public defender.

Jackson is not how you describe him. He is endorsed by DSA and Bernie as well. If Schumer and the DNC had it their way they’d have a rabid zionist up there libsplaining why the jewish identity trumps all civil rights of all arabs because the holocaust or some stupid shit, even though his version of Jewish identity is a racist caricature which just boils down to a jewish supremacist zionazi.

Seems more appropriate to search the agents’ phones for evidence of domestic terrorism.

Relocation of billionaires is a good thing if nothing else to kill their credibility that they in any way shape or form give a fuck about this country. Secondarily it also makes them easier to sanction.

A liberal lawmaker engaging in false dilemma fallacy, that’s so uncharacteristic of them /s

AI companies make it very clear that any actions or words that are repurposed are solely at the liability of the user, and yet the entire federal government is very comfortable with blaming AI. This makes a good precedence for removing liability protection and killing AI in its tracks.

There’s two possibilities and both are advantageous. One is that AI companies are responsible for the words they spit out. The other is that pentagon higher ups can much more easily be held accountable than lower levels because the decisions to push AI are going to be highly evident through regular communications. This will make it much easier to purge the military back to a moderately functional state.

I guess now that he’s dead they can finally stop pretending Epstein was a world renowned sex trafficker to only himself and nobody else.

Well the busing did succeed at one thing, which is demonstrating that Adams was a shitty human with no actual values and showed that democratic governors and mayors often view migrants as a net negative even though they’re not. It was a great example of the problem with liberal politics, more obsessed with playing a game than caring for people and standing up for them. Even though they said stuff like they’re using them as pawns (true), the real response should have been thank you for sending us statistically better law abiders and hard workers. We will make sure they want to stay because them leaving yiur shithole state makes yours worse and ours better.

Doug Ford is not a good person, but he is highly effective at attacking Trump and rallying Canada in a way that isn’t patronizing. I was honestly surprised they didn’t force him to run against Carney instead of the hopeless and corrupt loser Poilievre.

Coupled with the local resources drain is the legal drain when ICE’s budget is used to fight every single charge and impose maximum delay of justice. That much money can inflict a lot of damage on judge’s time, the local attorney’s time, and result in temporary rulings that have a silencing effect. They cannot hire enough people to spend all the money they received, so they’re draining it via corruption, contracts they don’t need, bribing local police units, and legal representation.

Which would make a progressive victory all the sweeter.

On the one hand, states do need a kick in the ass to remind them that arresting federal agents for wrongdoing is in fact a good thing. On the other, cops are pretty bad at policing their own internally, let alone other units. Even if they’re competent in their attempts to maintain a presence, it will be a massive drain on local resources. I feel like any police presence will need to come with full support of a states attorney general to recoup money spent from fed.

The only way to befriend him is unlimited money and cruelty. This is why he’s fully in the pocket of Israel. Since those are his interests, maybe giving him unlimited civil liability and more bullying may move the needle. Being pro-genocide shouldn’t be the easy position to take anywhere. More ridicule of him on the streets should help.

He is the most logical pick to replace Platner and the DNC would have preferred multiple other people before Jackson. I think it’s the best shot around so it’s weird why any leftist would have an issue with the pick.

It’s interesting though that a life in politics and a life outside politics both tend to come with baggage of different sorts. Bernie being the main exception among people who largely got on board with gay rights in the 90s or early 2000s. Bernie was always on board.

Not really something smart so much as something consistent. I think there are far too many people with no introspection on their harmful views as it is, and AI confirming their biases is inherently dangerous. Especially because the default tone they chose for every model appears to be picked to speak directly to this specific type of person in the exact way it shouldn’t.

Serious as viewed from GameStop’s perspective, and maybe even just one man at the top. eBay has already said their offer is not remotely attractive to them. I think their current CEO unfortunately thinks the only way to run a business is to create controversy. I hope they didn’t take the wrong lesson from the Gamestop stock rally, but it seems at least one person did.

The last I heard about mod removals the admins wanted no responsibility to implement it. I don’t see the other mods rallying to a removal when the admins won’t say one way or the other. I personally find at least 90% agreement with other mod actions and I’m less senior, so it’s not really for me to make a stink, unlike the admins if they so choose imo. As far Jordan specifically, I get along with him personally and also see instances where speaking as a mod wasn’t the best look. It’s minor imo when we’re just told to enforce rules, not some undefined etiquette. We’ll all naturally do this differently from each other with no specifics given, so the standard falls back (without admin input) on following the rules ourselves. If you feel any comment breaks the rules the report it. We do not resolve reports related to our own names and conversations.

Bearing on USA systems is that this is US Politics and VPNs aren’t supported on .world. I don’t suspect the community would prosper under a blacklisting scenario.
