Alteon@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•ICE agents chase after farmworkers as they flee fields during latest raid in Ventura County19·28 days ago100% this. There’s been resistance everywhere over this. Minnesota drove out a bunch of ICE agents from their neighborhoods, there’s been major protests all over the US about it. Like… we’re for sure doing it.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•ICE agents chase after farmworkers as they flee fields during latest raid in Ventura County34·28 days agoAh yes, the dangerous criminals that are out farming for slave wages. Good job ICE. I’m assuming that ICE is going to punish the farmer that employed these dangerous criminals? ICE has entirely lost the fucking plot…
Alteon@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•1,800+ 'No Kings' Rallies Planned Across US as Trump Deploys Military to Crush Protests111·28 days agoNo, they aren’t paying for the no kings rally. This has been planned for months - essentially since Trump declared he wanted his thuper duper special big boy parade.
Just because they paid for an ad to support the movement doesn’t mean it’s now co-opted by Walmart or any other billionaire.
This is blatant misinformation.

Alteon@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization41·1 month agoSo many people are unique in different ways. Some people eat meat, some don’t, some can’t. Some people are tall, some short, some average. Some people are the life of the party, and some are quiet. Some people feel comfortable in their bodies, and some don’t… And sometimes they want the be different. I don’t fault people for wanting to be comfortable with who they are. They should be comfortable in their own bodies, and if that means changing it, then that should be okay too. Sometimes, there are people that pick on other people for not liking the same things they do, or for not looking the way they do, and this can hurt the people that they are picking on. You may think it’s okay for you to ignore it because it doesn’t affect you, but that’s selfish. What if people decided to pick on you for something that you couldn’t control? Would you want other people to ignore it and turn a blind eye? No, right? You wouldn’t think that that is okay. Sometimes you need to stand up to help people and support them, especially when someone else is being mean to them…because you never know when those mean people might to start picking on you. And if no one helps each other, then the mean people feel like they can get away with it…like they have power over everyone else. But when we speak up, when we say ‘that’s not okay,’ we take that power away. We show them that being cruel isn’t something we accept or ignore.
Standing up for others isn’t just about helping someone else, it’s about creating a world that’s kinder and safer for everyone, including yourself. When we support each other, we build trust, respect, and strength in our communities. We show each other that we matter, just as we are.
So when you see someone being treated unfairly, remember: your voice matters. Even one person standing up can make a huge difference. Be that person."
Just had this conversation with my young daughter about bullies, I adapted it a bit, but I thought maybe you could use it too.

The only thing this braindead administration wants is hatred, bigotry, and racism to spread.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa urge UK Prime Minister to rethink his AI copyright plans. A new law could soon allow AI companies to use copyrighted material without permission. English21·2 months agoI agree that most creators don’t become wealthy, and yes, there’s plenty of abuse and inequality in how IP laws are applied. But removing those laws wouldn’t solve that - it would just give even more power to the entities with the most money, reach, and legal muscle.
Without IP protections, smaller inventors and musicians wouldn’t even have the option to negotiate or earn anything off their work. A major label or corporation could just take it, polish it, and release it as their own without any consequences.
So while the system isn’t perfect, saying it “only exists to make the rich richer” misses the point. The alternative isn’t more equity, it’s no recourse at all for the little guy.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever been to Burning Man or a similar festival type event? Any cool stories?2·2 months agoTo keep it short and simple, it was more organic back then. Today, it’s more of a “designer” experience. You can still have a hell of a lot of fun, but it just feels less natural.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Paul McCartney and Dua Lipa urge UK Prime Minister to rethink his AI copyright plans. A new law could soon allow AI companies to use copyrighted material without permission. English71·2 months agoThis is a terrible take. Sure. There are issues with the system, but these laws protect smaller musicians and inventors from having their ideas stolen and profited upon by larger players.
Without patent laws, there’s no reason to ever “buyout” a design from an inventor, or for smaller songwriters to ever get paid again. A large company or musician could essentially steal your work and make money off of it, and you would get nothing for all of the time and effort that you put into it.
Alteon@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever been to Burning Man or a similar festival type event? Any cool stories?16·2 months agoIt’s worth noting that Burning Man from 15 years ago is not the same Burning Man today and it’s tragic.

Because it seems to me like he’s making it so that we now have ZERO social safety nets and ZERO support from the government.
Anyone with a shred of empathy, should understand how this will affect disadvantaged and marginalized citizens.

These people are disgusting.
How about we stop deporting people don’t like, whether they are white, brown, purple, or Jake Paul?
