If you were ever in such a situation, I’m sure your lawyer would present the fact that you always have a first aid kit with you to challenge it’s relevance. People who know you could be brought in to testify as such.

On the other hand, if you don’t generally carry a first aid kit but brought one to the protest alongside the other listed items, it does seem indicative of intent.

There was just a news story that Denmark was (among other activities) stocking up on blood supplies in Greenland. That’s not an unusual thing for a military to do, but it’s pretty obvious that they were preparing to fight US forces. That’s obviously not a crime, but the logical connections to intent are similar.

If you give me ssh access to their server, then I can verify. Otherwise it’s “just trust me bro”.

What do you think an independent autit does?

In at least Illinois, this is still in the proposal phase. The bad news is that there are also more draconian proposals that require government issue IDs.

And, of course, Elizabeth Warren endorsed the Israeli shil. 🐍

They are explained in the post.

This is true, but most of the people who bitch about the price of oil are the privileges wankers who just want cheap gas.

The future has been canceled.

Fishback has made contempt for Israel and its American lobby a centerpiece of his campaign, constantly reminding audiences how much America spends on Israel while its own needs are ignored.

Only one thing wrong with this part. Foreign aid has nothing to do with domestic spending. We live in austerity because the Epstein class wants us desperate, not because America can’t find the money.

Because clearly I meant that literally. /s

Why would legal eagle report on cases where Ice complies? That would make some pretty boring content.

The numbers I can find for compliance failures are between 4k and 5k. That is a lot, but not in the context of the 3m+ deportations that Trump’s ICE has done.

I’m not trying to defend ICE here. Anything less than 100% compliance should result in prosecutions. I just don’t want to promote the false notion that legal action is useless.

I just love the implied racism here where America is capable of running intelligence disinformation campaigns while dirty Iranians could never be so clever. That’s why every statistic that comes out of western media sources can’t be trusted, but everything else can.

Beyond that obvious confirmation bias, there is almost no difference in how populations react to news of a few thousand deaths and thirty thousand deaths. Humans just don’t process big numbers that well on an emotional level. Intelligence organizations know that. Thirty deaths can easily have more of an impact because we can imagine it being 30 people we know.

Most of the time, ICE does comply with court orders. There is a definite survivorship bias at play where stories of compliance don’t make the media, but stories of non-compliance do. The courts have been, and continue to be, a major thorn in the Trump administration’s side.

Que tankies denials.

Have you actually met these kids? How do you know they weren’t taken from Russia first? You know that’s all just western propaganda. /s

Trump might ironically do more to reduce fossil fuel reliance than Biden.

Cutting USAID funding is projected to kill over 10 million people, most of them kids. Compared to that, an elementary school is almost insignificant.

The story of the Epstein files is the story of how we got where we are. No matter where it falls on the death and destruction scale, it is critical to understanding that pedophile sociopaths rule the world.

I think that most of the problems the left has with liberals is that they never seem to embrace liberalism. Democrats maintain a liberal veneer, but they really don’t give a shit about things like democracy, individual liberty, or equality before the law. Liberalism was largely abandoned in favor of neoliberalism, which is basically fake liberalism plus financialization of everything.

They are measuring “interest” based on Google searches. Epstein is an old and very slowly evolving story, while Iran is new and rapidly evolving. It makes perfect sense that Iran would get more searches.

You referred to it as “solid” first, so I have no idea where you think I was confused on this point.

Democratic insiders are also now saying that it’s not worth spending money to try to win a Senate seat in Texas. They are so butthurt that Talarico beat Crockett that they are giving up a serious chance at taking the Senate away from the Republicans. Fucking pathological.
