Which do you prefer, democracy or dictatorship? by chillBurner in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Hmm, maybe... but tbh, I'm more of a collective leadership thing myself, since I can't always rely on myself all the time, even in personal life so 🤷

Democracy, like mostly anyone. But it depends on anyone's conception, here.

"Well, they did sign up for this actually." Trump on voters concern for higher living costs (lemmy.ml)

When ABC News' Terry Moran asked Pres. Donald Trump to respond to voters who may be concerned that rising costs are not what they "signed up for," Trump responded: "Well, they did sign up for this actually."

Note: this should not start and end with Garcia. There are more to come, in the same predicament

US immigration is gaming Google to create a mirage of mass deportations (www.theguardian.com)

News of mass immigration arrests has swept across the US over the past couple of weeks. Reports from Massachusetts to Idaho have described agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) spreading through communities and rounding people up. Quick Google searches for Ice operations, raids and arrests return a deluge of government press releases. Headlines include “ICE arrests 85 during 4-day Colorado operation”, “New Orleans focuses targeted operations on 123 criminal noncitizens”, and in Wisconsin, “ICE arrests 83 criminal aliens”.

But a closer look at these Ice reports tells a different story. That four-day operation in Colorado? It happened in November 2010. The 123 people targeted in New Orleans? That was February of last year. Wisconsin? September 2018. There are thousands of examples of this throughout all 50 states – Ice press releases that have reached the first page of Google search results, making it seem like enforcement actions just happened, when in actuality they occurred months or years ago. Some, such as the arrest of “44 absconders” in Nebraska, go back as far as 2008. All the archived Ice press releases soaring to the top of Google search results were marked with the same timestamp and read: “Updated: 01/24/2025”.

The mystery first caught the attention of an immigration lawyer who began tracking Ice raids and enforcement actions when Donald Trump took office. She spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal from the administration. At first, she was baffled when she clicked on these seemingly new press releases and they detailed Ice raids from more than a decade ago.

So she set to work doing some digital sleuthing and enlisted a friend who’s a tech expert to help. What they found leads them to believe that Ice is gaming Google search.

Can't they discover the world beyond? Weren't they humans; don't they have the mind to move on and focus on something else, since trauma and grief will run its course, sooner or later, and not just haunt the living?

If I were a ghost, I'd be tired of acting like one... even if I was murdered or otherwise died untimely

With the exception of Casper the Ghost, I don't think I've seen the alternative take on it

This presupposes ghosts do exist, though I believe ye skeptics would tell me no, which, alright, you win the argument

Bernie Sanders: We Need More Working-Class Candidates to Challenge Both Parties by chillBurner in c/usa@lemmy.ml

[-] chillBurner@lemmy.ml 15 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Third parties already exist and you can see how viable they are. The FPTP spoiler effect isn’t going away any time soon.

Well... if the issue of slavery was central to the development of the Republican Party, and the working class struggles of Europe led to the creation of Labour and SocDem Parties in Europe

There is a slim chance, that by precedent, one breaking issue could widen up, as to create a new political party that swallows up and destroys one of the moribund parties, through its absorption of its former key constituencies

(though it must take advantage of the power vacuum fully) (emphasis on the term 'slim', to refer to 1%)

Heck, we could follow Canada, and have it so that America relies on multi-partisan coalitions, rather than Dems, Reps, or even both alone

Then, again, Idk Americans, so mindlessly downvote me if ye want...

Nothing in life is ever so permanent...

Like the ol' General said / s

We can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.

MFW when Japan decides to give a middle-finger to the U.S ~~execution~~ justice system

Yeah, Ik, Ik ("what about the corrupt justice system? The more prevalent use of solitary confinement? The roughly similar rates of death penality in both countries") but frankly, just consider it a rare W for Japan's criminal system, in comparison to the Marcellus Williams case...
