VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•House Minority Leader Jeffries, NJ Sen. Booker begin sit-in protest on Capitol steps4·2 months agoFair, I can’t argue that’s a good lens to view this through. I can only hope these people’s message actually get some people to wake up.
But that pessimism didn’t just appear. There’s a reason, and I’m my opinion a good one, for it. I think we’re long overdue for a political overhaul. Though I’m probably just preaching to the choir.
VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump staff puts immigrants' mug shots on White House lawn121·2 months agoNot even mug shots really. Just close ups of people who aren’t white.
No names, no location, no information. Just “Murder” and a photo. It’s less than a mug shot.

VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•House Minority Leader Jeffries, NJ Sen. Booker begin sit-in protest on Capitol steps3·2 months agoHey he specifically broke the record for longest filibuster when it didn’t matter directly after voting yes to the budget proposal. How is that performative?!?! /S
Could have done it a week earlier and it be an actual filibuster instead of some symbolic bs.
VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•House Minority Leader Jeffries, NJ Sen. Booker begin sit-in protest on Capitol steps4·2 months agoOr they’re people that actually want change and a better life for us all. And that’s not coming via either current party in the US.
VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•House Minority Leader Jeffries, NJ Sen. Booker begin sit-in protest on Capitol steps71·2 months agoI think expecting Democratic Senators to vote no on things like the Laken Riley Act or Democratic Judges to not sign bogus warrants to arrest Gaza protesters should be a bare minimum expectation.
Them not even being able to do that " keeps people down on the Democrats."
My understanding of the event:
- 4chan jokes they should pretend the okay hand sign is a white supremacist dog whistle to trigger libs.
- They do and it works.
- Online shitters who’s whole personality is “triggering sjw’s” pick up on this and perpetuate the joke to continue to trigger people.
Basically people getting mad at a joke caused it to become a real thing to some degree. While not a supremacist symbol it was heavily used by them for a time.
VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*?32·2 months agoI agree, but courts have been partisan for a while. See judge Cannon’s handling of Trumps documents case and the supreme Courts handling of his freaking insurrection.
I understand the way things are supposed to be. But it’s not the way they are. Courts are going to have to decide which side of history they are on.
VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*?51·2 months agoFascists are good at using the fact that their opponents need to uphold the law against them.
Your comment is correct as much as I hate it. But to the quoted portion, their opponents don’t need to. They choose to. And it drives me insane that they think that we can operate within the system the fascists are actively ignoring to fix this. The “normal way” things are done is gone, it’s time to stand firm and take action.

VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•AI Energy Demand Can Keep Fossil Fuels Alive, Tech Backers Promise World’s Two Biggest Oil ProducersEnglish7·2 months agoMy half thought conspiracy: The actual hope is to get people so reliant on AI that the fee is secondary.
You’re already starting to see this in news articles where, "Chat gpt says Trump’s physical not possible," or that “gork calls elon top misinformation spreader.”
Why are news outlets reporting on what some hallucinating AI says? To legitimize it. As people use it more they’ll become more reliant on it. It’ll be no different than, "just Google it "
But they aren’t only going to do this to make a profit. It’s more than that. It’s about controlling the flow of information. Once people are reliant on it they’ll adjust algorithms and black list information that doesn’t benefit them.
Legitimately AI is trying to position itself to control information and by extension the realities of its users. And that is priceless.

VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'This is the crisis moment': Political scientist says Trump crossed a crucial red line11·2 months agoAnd the us military historically actually has a lot of trouble with those
I disagree, not anymore anyway. Sure Vietnam was a wholesale loss. But while the US failed to institute a lasting democracy in Afghanistan, their KD is like 1:200. In 20 years of occupation they lost under 3000 troops. That is with logistics supplying the force on the other side of the world. That’s actually a crazy accomplishment and show of power.
While the military might not be able to “win” if they fully side with trump, America in for a long and bloody (mostly bloody for the civilians) occupation.
VanillaFrosty@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Biden says damage Trump has done to Social Security is 'breathtaking'432·2 months agoHey at least the one and only time he went low and broke decorum was so he could pardon his own son. And the other 1200 people a week later when he realized how bad the optics were.
And just to get ahead of those people. I’m not necessarily mad he pardoned his son. I’m mad there only time he broke decorum was for his own personal interests and not the American people’s.
