This is called “proportionality bias”, believing that a major event must have had major planning behind it.
It doesn’t. They’re just dumb and fat fingered the wrong recipient to add to the chat on an app and phone that they shouldn’t have been using in the first place!
You have no moral leg to stand on. Barely any noticeable difference between you and Trump/MAGA in how you view Palestinians as subhuman.
Because it’s a genocide extension that’s about to happen.
His message is a clear declaration to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
Correct. It’s a civil violation, and increases the risk of deportation. Normally foreigners overstaying a visit don’t immediately get deported.
The overstay consequence is that it leads to a 3-year re-entry into the US ban if the overstay is under 1 year or 10-year re-entry ban if it’s over 1 year.
Either way, this really sucks for the couple. They most likely won’t be able to have a life in the US anytime in the coming years.
Good question. I think it would certainly tank Tesla, xAI, and investors will take over X.
That was an awesome read. Thank you.
Gotta give him credit for being a consistent illegal occupation supporter.
He’s treating Ukrainians now the same way he was treating Palestinians. Just cede occupied land to aggressors.
Constitutional rights are based on personhood, not citizenship. Mahmoud Khalil’s 1A rights were violated, plain simple.

I have a fake/throwaway account on X and thought I’d check the vibe there. I was shocked how the majority of Trump supporters were arguing that constitutional rights only apply to US citizens.
Their level of confidence in being ignorant is just…wow. Scary.
That’s what I’m talking about
Very familiar with the trolley philosophical problem, thank you. But you’re arguing the lesser of both evils point of view, again. Which is not an excuse anymore. With all due respect, but it’s a horrible half-assed defeatist mentality that will never create any meaningful change. And yes, I’m very familiar with the electoral system, and the popular vote. Both of which clearly wanted Trump to win. Denying that this was what the majority of America wanted is delusional. What we should focus on is why on earth did the majority pick such a horrible president (Trump)? I’d love to see Democrats take on that self reflection and come up with better messaging and policies instead of acting like us independents owe them a vote…And no, “racism and sexism” ain’t it either.
I’m reminded by this quote from my one of favorite authors (Hunter S Thompson) in 1972:
“How many more of these stinking, double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote FOR something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72
We’re in 2025. Neither Trump nor the Genocide-supporting DNC deserves to be in power. That’s what a non-vote is.
Waste of taxpayer money
I’m here to spread my seed.
What about “Eternity”? I love it for Lemmy and no ads
Awesome and smooth UI
It’s not that they suck. My problem with them, as an independent, is they’ve positioned themselves as the moral high ground party while in fact they have no moral leg to stand on. Their leadership had a historic moral test when it comes to the Gaza genocide and they failed it. They had another test to put a great candidate to prevent another Trump presidency, but they bowed down to their corporate masters and picked Kamala.
It’s that level of fundamentalism and holier than thou attitude that alienates many people like me. They have zero fighting tactics against Republicans besides clutching pearls and shaming. Kamala’s website up until the election day had no “agenda section”. You can’t really tell what her campaign is about. I guess she’s perfect enough and shouldn’t be questioned, otherwise “racism and sexism”.
They need a complete reset and redo of the party and its principles. Until then, I’m a non voter.
Too early in the negotiation process which just started, not the timespan of the war.
Watch the whole 40mins, it was Zelensky who decided to challenge Vance with a “what kind of diplomacy are you talking about” in the last 5 or so minutes, then the blow up happened. Totally rookie move from Z after getting triggered by Trump’s lack of negative outlook on Putin.
There’s the irony. They did this to avoid potential FOIA requests, and ended up getting the attention of the whole world.
