The “counseling” being referenced above is abuse, not actual therapy. It’s someone brain washing a kid to make them think bad about themselves and “want” to “get better”. It’s everything the asshole fascists claim the drag queen story hour folks are doing, because like everything it’s all projection. The party of “family values” and “protect our kids” that wants to take away kids meals, healthcare, education, and if they don’t “act right” to ship them off to one of these torture camps to “straighten them out”.

Good to see news like this with all the bad/hate the right is trying to impose on everyone constantly.

Reading about The Bracero Program seems kind of wild in today’s anti-immigrant US climate.

The Bracero Program (from the Spanish term bracero [bɾaˈse.ɾo], meaning “manual laborer” or “one who works using his arms”) was a U.S. Government-sponsored program that imported Mexican farm and railroad workers into the United States between the years 1942 and 1964.

I think even something like the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact would also be better than our current system.

Having no idea who, or what kind of channel “Deaddomain” is, I did a quick GoogleFu and found this interesting take from a TST member that seems to make sense of what I suspected this kind of sensational video title would be about.

“This is just ridiculous, it’s got to stop somewhere. I mean, the governments, the city officials, have got to do something about this. I’m pulling my kids out for the rest of the week at least, if not going homeschool for the rest of the year because this is just… it makes me scared to have my kids at school at all … Something has got to give,” she said.

Maybe someone should be reminding everyone this is Trump and his fascist regime doing this. If they had an actual platform other than fear-porn his propaganda machines wouldn’t have been airing this crazy story based off one Facebook post by a woman who said she made it up based on something she heard from someone basically in a game of “telephone”. Then Trump wouldn’t have seen it on Fox and repeated it at the debate, and now everyday since.

Actually it’s the anti-abortion movement rooted in racism. From the article you linked …

Just like slavery, anti-abortion efforts are rooted in white supremacy, the exploitation of Black women, and placing women’s bodies in service to men. Just like slavery, maximizing wealth and consolidating power motivated the anti-abortion enterprise.

The correct number fingers would be good, but also is he wearing morpheus’s trench coat? That seems like a glitch in the matrix, get out!!

JD admitted today to fucking couches to bring attention to the issue that not enough people are putting protective sheets on their furniture.

“Donald Trump and I have started talking about memes of me fucking a couch to bring attention to this important issue in the lives of the American people, and how the media is just ignoring the topic of couch fucking.” - JD “couch fucker” Vance

I’m guessing here, but sounds like a play on his “bigly” wording. He has the best words, his English professor friends all tell him!

His brain is like mashed potatoes at this point, almost everything he regurgitates is something his staff prints out for him every morning (how he gets his “news”), TV, or some wild troll farm coming to his social feed. He then sees these things and runs with them because he has no critical thinking skills at all. That is why his handlers try and talk to him through the TV appearances and op eds that could be printed for him.

The pets stuff was from Fox and others knowing it wasn’t legit but putting it out for Trump to pickup, though probably for his rallies, as at the debate it did not land.

Except for the narcissist that honestly believes they are crushing it, because to believe otherwise would shatter their whole world/existence.

And the “Turtle”! Sure he reboots constantly, but sure let’s keep him in government.

Thanks! Yes finite.

Fun fact time! Trump believes that the human body is like a battery with “finite energy”, but if you exercise you risk using all that energy up and dying. =)

Let me repeat: there is no real privacy in any social network. If people are genuinely afraid of being targeted because of what they write online, the solution is not to give them a false sense of privacy, but to educate and empower them to use messaging platforms that are provably secure.

I think everyone understands that what they type is public, but there is a difference between posting something to a community that may be small in nature and would likely only be found and read by those also interested or a part of said community, and someone creating a database of ALL this type of content that some troll can use to more easily target people and blast their hate filled replies out to.

Those that are telling marginalized folks to use instance XYZ because “they don’t federate with threads and therefore are safe” think that they are being helpful, but in reality are putting them at even more risk because they are telling all of them to concentrate in the same place and make the targeted tracking even easier for malicious actors.

I don’t think anyone is telling groups “post to my instance and you’ll be safe from threads”. But when people want to do things like creating bridges from Threads to Lemmy they strip admins of the ability to block Threads content from Lemmy instances that defederated Threads for a reason.

These topics have far reaching implications that just “I want all the search!” and anyone that doesn’t want it is holding the fediverse back.

Is this in Texas where the guy responsible was just indicted? He was supposed to look at all the places ballots were to go and instead just sent basically a divided equal amount to each location. He did this partly because he was doing this while at work at another job that was undisclosed to the local government while he “worked from home” for them. His new job was with some oil company paying considerably more, but he never resigned and just half assed his gov work to keep the extra $.

I think what you are talking about is instances that may have a large population of marginalized groups, and the fear that someone is creating a database that could be used to easily seek them out and use it for trolling and such. Which I think is a very valid concern.

And as mentioned above, you have the crowd that wants to take an instance and give all their posts over to for-profit corporations like Threads and Bluesky, that should not even be called part of the fediverse IMHO.

I don’t know how you make a global search for the fediverse that avoids both of those issues though.

It actually plays into the Harris point of Trump churning through staff that he feels like aren’t doing enough for him. And I can’t imagine he removes JD and then puts him in his cabinet or something, to which I would expect JD to flip back to his pre-VP-audition stance on Trump and spread the word of what is happening “behind the curtain”.

I would LOVE to see Trump drop out for whatever reason, and then the GOP has a vote like they did for the speaker of the house to see who takes his place. The drama of all the wackos that 1/2 of even the GOP worst dislike, mixed with all the opportunist bottom feeders, all trying to battle it out to lead the party in the new power vacuum of “yes men/women” would be just pay-per-view level entertainment.

On top of that, we have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums and they’re coming and they’re taking jobs that are occupied right now by African Americans and Hispanics and also unions.

• Donald J Trump

So essentially he believes that people of color only work jobs so bad, that employers have started to replace these people with what I would assume are people that are clearly “insane” and/or with mental health issues. Just wild!
