takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Rep. Mark Green resigns from Congress, leaving Speaker Johnson with an even narrower Republican majority in the House3·4 days agoThey already thought about it. The visibly damaging provisions will start rolling in 2027. They will try to blame Democrats for it, and that is why ACA should be repealed.
This is why it’s so important to come out ahead and set your conservative friends’ expectation so they can’t turn it around and say “see, nothing happened” or “I’m losing insurance, because Democrats won midterms”

takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.zip•ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam itEnglish5·6 days agoI learned that somebody already did such thing: http://stopice.net/ and it existed before this app even.

takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.zip•ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam itEnglish3·7 days agoI think it might be simpler.
All the app could do is to report location of the user to ICE.
While people might be interested to show up to ICE raids, immigrants might also want it to know places to say away from.
Since the app is on the phone the location can be tied to the phone number and since they are going after documented immigrants they might have phone numbers from their applications.
I think this should be a mobile website instead of an app is the goal was privacy.
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.zip•ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam itEnglish171·8 days agoThe problem with phone apps is that they already have access to personally identifiable information.
I would much prefer this was a mobile friendly website.
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•US halts weapons shipments to Ukraine over fears stockpiles are too low13·8 days agoI could be wrong, but the way it normally was working is that we were sending Ukraine our old stock that was about to expire and the money that supposedly was allocated for Ukraine was actually spent on replacing our stock.
There was no more new money approved since trump took office so to me it looks like it is another way of saying that the leftover support (allocated under Biden) is ending.
I find it upsetting that from all things trump made sure to start with anti air defense, as Russia is performing bigger and bigger attacks on civilians. All that after lamenting about innocent people dying. I guess he only meant Russian soldiers.
Sanctions are also only 2 weeks away
Reminds me of the clip I saw yesterday or day before where MAGATs actually said that they would welcome Jesus’ in US as long as he came legally.
Edit: found it https://youtube.com/shorts/0eBnr2sFyoI
I am bad at this, I only recognize Charles Manson, so I get the joke, but I’m still curious who are the other 8?
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Trump says he’ll withhold money from New York if Mamdani becomes mayor723·10 days agoThis shows that waiting to 2026 and hoping that Dems will take over Congress is really pointless. They won’t acknowledge and certify any results that aren’t their people.
At this point we either fight or accept end of US as a democracy.
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Republicans ask Donald Trump to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship5·13 days agoYeah, it also looks like it actually increased participation in LA, which the ICE, NG and Marines supposed to scare
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Republicans ask Donald Trump to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship4·13 days agoA lot of them took their flags down and sit quiet.
Afraid to admit they were wrong.
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•Republicans ask Donald Trump to revoke Zohran Mamdani's citizenship16·13 days agoExactly, people were talking about controlled opposition and it looks like it is true.
If they thought he was so left he had no chance they would just laugh or even ignore (which normally they did not pay attention to primaries).
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Europe@feddit.org•Germany Wants Recruits. But ‘No One Wants Their Children in the Army.’English4·13 days agoWhich is ironic, because another (less spoken) reason of NATO and building the army is to scare the opponent so it will think it is not worth to attack.
The mere fact of taco saying that the US won’t help in case of attack from Russia increased chances of a war.
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Europe@feddit.org•Germany Wants Recruits. But ‘No One Wants Their Children in the Army.’English3·13 days agoThey might not even have that much time
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Europe@feddit.org•Germany Wants Recruits. But ‘No One Wants Their Children in the Army.’English3·13 days agoRight, because Ukrainians had a choice. It was either surrender and be exterminated or fight.
No one in Europe wants to be at war and prefers to concentrate on economy, but if one side goes full imperialism the only thing is to be prepared for war and hope they will decide that is not worth to attack.
LOL, they even told us about it and everything
US is already an oil net exporter. Taco doesn’t care about Europe either so I don’t think oil is the motive as it was before.
IMO this is more of being Israel’s lap dog. Given initial confusion what to say (whether US is involved or not) I think taco observed that their attacks were successful so he wanted to put his name under it. It is also good distraction with tons of things that happened in last week. It will have longer term consequences, but he never thinks that far.
Edit: I saw this mentioned by someone and it actually fits with the rest they did so far. What if trump actually wants an Iran terrorist attack on US soil? He hired 22 year old grocery bagger with minor in landscaping to head counterterrorism branch of DHS. Explicitly stated against what Rubio initially was saying that this is a war.
He sent almost 5,000 troops to LA to squash 1,000 protesters with false pretenses that country is at war. They had nothing to do and are still in LA even after the riots (that happened on just 5 blocks of the city) ended.
If Iran (or even false flag attack pretending to be Iran) would happen he would suddenly have excuse to put troops in other cities.
The fucking rhetoric about Iranian sleeper cells seems like preparation to label protesters as Iranian agents.
And at the same they killed DEI which enabled disabled people to have jobs.
