Marxist puppet? Are these "Marxists" in the room with you right now?

Who would be pulling the strings for Marxists in 2025? Uh... Cuba? Lemmy.ml? Lenin reanimated as a Communist Lich King?

Out of curiosity, what constitutional basis do they have to do this? Elections are explicitly run by the states and there's nothing about RCV or any voting system that prevents a fair election.

Don't mince the issue. Deserved or not should be determined with due process in a court and not on Twitter while he's chained up in a concentration camp.

Honest question: if the administration's defense is shrugging because he's in another country, doesn't the judge have an easy layup to shut down CECOT deportations?

They can't have it both ways, either follow due process or keep your slave detention camps domestic. It's not interfering in foreign policy to point out they need to choose.

Side rant: I fucking hate the phrase "unseasonably warm/cold".

It gives the impression of a one off aberration that will go back to normal. We haven't had a normal season in decades, maybe we should just admit we broke the seasons instead of tiptoeing around it.

Friendly reminder that reducing/eliminating outdoor lighting is one of the most impactful changes an individual can take to reduce their ecological/climate footprint.

The theory behind DEI policies is to formally challenge personal bias (both explicit and subconscious) in hiring and participation. There's nothing inherently tied to unfairly favoring minority groups other than the fact that they are usually the target of negative bias.

It's a pretty basic and logical idea that acknowledges human fallibility. I hate that it was rapidly co-opted on all sides as a shorthand for racism and opposition to cis-white-male dominance.

It makes sense, more proximity to a weapon is more potentially deadly encounters. An intruder very rarely enters your house, but you pass the gun safe in your closet every day.

Don't disrespect swamps like that, they're a vital ecosystem. This is more like excising the cancer.

Fuck that, keep all private enterprise out of space. Polluting our orbit with useless satellites was bad enough.

Do we need to push our unsustainable growth onto lifeless celestial bodies? Why burn our limited resources on astronaut-cosplay rollercoasters for billionaires? Can't they just go die in a submarine like normal people?

As an English speaker, most easily accessible news sources on the internet are very Americentric. Given the current state of global politics, I want to break out of that bubble.

I have dual American/Italian citizenship, so I'd like to keep up to date with Italian + EU current events. All I can find are the most major national scandals, Prime Ministers talking about Trump, and the results of ~~soccer~~ football matches.

So leggere un po' di italiano, but not enough yet to read a newspaper. How can I keep up?
