aberrate_junior_beatnik (he/him)@midwest.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files?English301·14 days agoHere is Christine Pelosi, daughter of Nancy Pelosi, saying “It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated.” Democrats and their billionaire owners are just as implicated by this as Republicans.

The person involved seems to be genuinely introspective and repentant. The south post civil war was unrepentant, and the north didn’t have the resolve to keep control, partly because the north was also racist as fuck.

Is there anything I can do?English111·2 months agoLook, I get I’m being a bit of an asshole with this answer, but given what little you’ve provided it’s the only one I can think of: get a phone (a google pixel) that can install an operating system that actually cares about your privacy (grapheneos). Then use its sandboxing to protect you from privacy invasion generally, and Life360 specifically.

aberrate_junior_beatnik (he/him)@midwest.socialtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Testing the WatersEnglish4·2 months agoHe did not carry out raids the likes of which we’ve seen in the past six months and he did not sanction them, which is what the comments about the meme are suggesting.
Obama absolutely did carry out and sanction deportation raids. To be clear, I’m not claiming he was as aggressive as Trump is being now. The image itself is an attempt to point out that Obama did so in a more orderly fashion.
My point, then, is that there can be “3.1 million ‘deported’” based on a very loose definition of a practical daily event at the border
Again, your characterization of these deportations all being people showing up at the border without papers is unsubstantiated. Nothing about expedited removal requires a person be present at the border. I could be mistaken about this, but a “removal” implies that a person is not at a border crossing. Indeed, in the MPI report, the tables listing deportation numbers have separate columns for border apprehensions and removals, and the removal column for Obama is at around 3M.
A few points: Obama had fewer border apprehensions and removals than both Bush and Clinton. This could be the case for any number of reasons, one of which could be lighter enforcement. But it is the case that the Obama administration bragged about its hawkishness on the border. My understanding is he did so in a failed attempt to appease the GOP and get DACA put into legislation. But regardless of all of this, it seems ICE under Obama did remove around 3 million people, not at the border.
aberrate_junior_beatnik (he/him)@midwest.socialtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Testing the WatersEnglish151·2 months agoSnopes rates the claim “US deported more than 3M people during Obama presidency. Most did not have chance to plead case in court” as mostly true. I truly do not understand how your characterization of these deportations follows from the link you posted and your quote from it.
aberrate_junior_beatnik (he/him)@midwest.socialto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Admin To Put More Mercury, Other Toxins In Our AirEnglish5·2 months agoThis is not a savvy or mature take, it’s a pedantic take. And I am no stranger to pedantry.
Nobody looks at this headline and thinks the Trump admin is directly putting pollutants in the air.
aberrate_junior_beatnik (he/him)@midwest.socialto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump Admin To Put More Mercury, Other Toxins In Our AirEnglish24·2 months agoMaybe I should just be less cynical, but this headline doesn’t make me think “this is satire.” It makes me think “yep, par for the course for republicans.” This is basically what they’ve been promising to do for decades. It’s one step away from a headline like “Republicans cut taxes for the wealthy.”

Legitimately curious: what about this statement makes you think I need to take pills?
[Edit: Ok, I did some more research and realized I was mistaken. I thought it was an uncontroversial claim that the CIA provided material support to the crack cocaine trade in the US; it is not.]
