Reading about The Bracero Program seems kind of wild in today’s anti-immigrant US climate.

The Bracero Program (from the Spanish term bracero [bɾaˈse.ɾo], meaning “manual laborer” or “one who works using his arms”) was a U.S. Government-sponsored program that imported Mexican farm and railroad workers into the United States between the years 1942 and 1964.

“This is just ridiculous, it’s got to stop somewhere. I mean, the governments, the city officials, have got to do something about this. I’m pulling my kids out for the rest of the week at least, if not going homeschool for the rest of the year because this is just… it makes me scared to have my kids at school at all … Something has got to give,” she said.

Maybe someone should be reminding everyone this is Trump and his fascist regime doing this. If they had an actual platform other than fear-porn his propaganda machines wouldn’t have been airing this crazy story based off one Facebook post by a woman who said she made it up based on something she heard from someone basically in a game of “telephone”. Then Trump wouldn’t have seen it on Fox and repeated it at the debate, and now everyday since.

Actually it’s the anti-abortion movement rooted in racism. From the article you linked …

Just like slavery, anti-abortion efforts are rooted in white supremacy, the exploitation of Black women, and placing women’s bodies in service to men. Just like slavery, maximizing wealth and consolidating power motivated the anti-abortion enterprise.

JD admitted today to fucking couches to bring attention to the issue that not enough people are putting protective sheets on their furniture.

“Donald Trump and I have started talking about memes of me fucking a couch to bring attention to this important issue in the lives of the American people, and how the media is just ignoring the topic of couch fucking.” - JD “couch fucker” Vance

Except for the narcissist that honestly believes they are crushing it, because to believe otherwise would shatter their whole world/existence.

And the “Turtle”! Sure he reboots constantly, but sure let’s keep him in government.

Thanks! Yes finite.

Fun fact time! Trump believes that the human body is like a battery with “finite energy”, but if you exercise you risk using all that energy up and dying. =)

Let me repeat: there is no real privacy in any social network. If people are genuinely afraid of being targeted because of what they write online, the solution is not to give them a false sense of privacy, but to educate and empower them to use messaging platforms that are provably secure.

I think everyone understands that what they type is public, but there is a difference between posting something to a community that may be small in nature and would likely only be found and read by those also interested or a part of said community, and someone creating a database of ALL this type of content that some troll can use to more easily target people and blast their hate filled replies out to.

Those that are telling marginalized folks to use instance XYZ because “they don’t federate with threads and therefore are safe” think that they are being helpful, but in reality are putting them at even more risk because they are telling all of them to concentrate in the same place and make the targeted tracking even easier for malicious actors.

I don’t think anyone is telling groups “post to my instance and you’ll be safe from threads”. But when people want to do things like creating bridges from Threads to Lemmy they strip admins of the ability to block Threads content from Lemmy instances that defederated Threads for a reason.

These topics have far reaching implications that just “I want all the search!” and anyone that doesn’t want it is holding the fediverse back.

I think what you are talking about is instances that may have a large population of marginalized groups, and the fear that someone is creating a database that could be used to easily seek them out and use it for trolling and such. Which I think is a very valid concern.

And as mentioned above, you have the crowd that wants to take an instance and give all their posts over to for-profit corporations like Threads and Bluesky, that should not even be called part of the fediverse IMHO.

I don’t know how you make a global search for the fediverse that avoids both of those issues though.

It actually plays into the Harris point of Trump churning through staff that he feels like aren’t doing enough for him. And I can’t imagine he removes JD and then puts him in his cabinet or something, to which I would expect JD to flip back to his pre-VP-audition stance on Trump and spread the word of what is happening “behind the curtain”.

Nice victim shaming attempt, when his own record since his alleged Combs assault plays no part in this (his first offense was 1998 - which is a year after the alleged assault). An assault like this can mess people up, although that doesn’t excuse his wrongs, but they may help explain his mindset.

You also left out 2 of the more key parts of your cherry picking -

The award was issued Monday by Lenawee County Circuit Court Judge Anna Marie Anzalone following a temporary restraining order granted to Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, 51, against Combs in August.

A judges don’t usually hand out restraining orders like candy on Halloween, and I assume when the person asking is currently incarcerated even less so?

Cardello-Smith produced prison facility information revealing Combs’s name logged into the visitation record, and says the founder of Bad Boy Records offered him $2.3 million dollars to dismiss the lawsuit, but Cardello-Smith rejected the offer.

So Combs went to the jail himself to talk with this guy instead of sending a lawyer on his behalf, interesting that.

Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it?

-Trump during a Fox interview last week

The fact that it needs to come from a “familiar with the company” anonymous source instead of the official source gives me pause in believing this 100%. Plants like this have been known to game the system for tax purposes while not actually making anything. And like everything, time for me to find the appropriate The Dollop episode.

Edit - For anyone not wanting to click through and/or listen, this episode is about the Foxconn deal that gave Foxconn essentially a way to subsidize it’s other factory while doing nothing in the US . People literally showed up to work with nothing to do, all day every day.

This is absolutely not ADHD, this is his dementia and substance abuse. Having ADHD you may be distracted while trying to tell someone about something, but you’ll be excited to talk about a special interest which may lead into another, but stuff will make sense and often more in depth than most care to hear.

Trump however has no interests beyond grifting and trying to sleep with Ivanka. However he word salads about a bunch of things he knows little to nothing about. He slurs words all over the place, stops mid-word and like brain skips for a sec, and then just goes into something unrelated. It’s like his brain is constantly corrupting and causing a reboot.

I have seen more of the videos of his cults loyalty faltering and just a steady stream of people dipping out by halfway through (if not earlier). They are all excited on the way in but have no need to listen to Trump’s dementia word salad monologue with his favorite unrelated topics that people at his rally are just ‘meh’ about (ex. - sharks + electrocution + EV boats, windmills, whales, bacon effected by wind).

Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

The Day Before only made it 4 days.

On 11 December, four days after The Day Before launched to widespread criticism, Fntastic announced their closure, stating that as their game had “failed financially” they could not afford to continue operating. The Day Before was removed from sale on Steam later that day.

He is also involved with many court cases he would probably appreciate if Trump could make go away, like surely Trump will do with his own first thing, should he get the chance.

Maybe making them wear some kind of marking on their clothing so that everyone knows who they are, and can keep an eye on them would help?

Obviously /s

I could see if you’re really into guns and you want to teach your kid the importance of gun safety, etc. But that firearm should 110% be under lock and key so that the child has no way to access it outside of parental supervision. This sounds like gross negligence, and a disturbing trend of parents for whatever reason buying troubled youth firearms in what I think most would consider counter to good judgement.

Edit - Ugh… It’s even worse after reading this part…

The timeline the teen’s father provided to authorities would put the gun purchase months after authorities first contacted Gray and his family to investigate school shooting threats made online.
