6·2 days agoCampaigners say further physical and mental harm could be inflicted under Labour home secretary Yvette Cooper’s plan to increase deportations to 2018 levels – with a goal to remove thousands of migrants and refused asylum seekers by the end of the year.
I hate how many people seem to be fighting for this title
291·4 days agoSpeaking to CBS, DeWine said: “This is something that came up on the internet, and the internet can be quite crazy sometimes.
It didn’t just come up “on the internet” you cowardly shit stain, it came out of the mouth of the presidential candidate you said you’d be voting for
1011·4 days agoYeah, it really sucks how both sides have decided to go all in on this racist bullshit recently instead of standing up for asylum rights when global climate change is only going to be making them more vital
Even Harris’s immigration policies reflect this shift in rhetoric. Her focus on border enforcement and deterrence over more comprehensive immigration reform echoes Trump’s approach to securitize the border. Her controversial comments during a 2021 trip to Guatemala, where she told migrants, “do not come,” reinforced narratives that criminalize migration rather than address its root causes.
Harris’s campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, has said if elected, she would continue Joe Biden’s crackdown on asylum claims. Harris has also promised to revive a border security deal that collapsed in Congress earlier this year after Trump told Republicans to reject it. If passed, the legislation would have implemented permanent restrictions of asylum.
Close, but she’s not being sued, she’s actually being criminally prosecuted on six felony charges
Isn’t that fucking special.
In-fucking-deed it is
What are they going to do about the bad cops?
They all already got a variety of punishments (generally not harsh enough imo, but their conduct runs all the way from rigging an intramural athletic competition to driving drunk with a loaded firearm, so it’s a bit of a complicated picture and worth reading the full article for those details). She was looking them up after the fact so the prosecutor’s office she works for now (Los Angeles county) didn’t call on them to testify in court (or, if they had to call them for whatever reason, so her office knew to let defense attorneys know about this as theoretically required under the Brady opinion (but exactly what things are Brady material and what can be ignored is something attorneys will be fighting over until the end of time and something I believe LA county and the CA attorney general have argued over in recent history)).
When you are charged as a juvenile your records are expunged upon turning 18
A lot of people think this but it isn’t true. In Georgia (and most other states) you have to ask a judge to expunge your record and they have to give the prosecutor’s office an opportunity to respond before the judge can decide if the person with the juvenile record has been rehabilitated and their record should be expunged. There’s nothing automatic about the process.
As the home prices go down, the probability that you’ll be able to find decent healthcare, education, and basically any businesses that consistently stay open outside of 9-5 weekdays goes with them
I hope you procrastinate as much as possible
That sounds more like how people have always used social media (e.g. bragging about any accomplishments they can, hiding any difficulties they’re going through, etc.) and how US based marketers have always used American Dream bullshit to pressure people into spending themselves into debt than any kind of coordinated foreign disinfo campaign to me
Beyond that, the fact that “people can come to the US and find prosperity and stability” is a lie seems to be the bigger underlying problem here
tl;dr, the local racists get big mad and protest a bit while the reasonable make arrangements and gather supplies, and then the migrants settle in and life moves on like it was all never any big deal to begin with (because it wasn’t)
Then it should be a very simple matter for her campaign to put out a statement expressing her support for Khan and Gensler
The Harris campaign didn’t provide a comment for this story.
there’s a lot who sense their interests are diametrically opposed to the CEOs who’ve spent billions lobbying congress.
The donor class is willing to spend a lot of money to break those people and convince them that they’ll only ever get oligarchic bullshit or the blatant incompetence and violent bigotry of Republicans from their government
I bet these donations were at least implicitly contingent on being publicly announced like this
Seriously, it’s truly infuriating how much money there is to be made beating children in this country, but at least another one of these trauma factories is getting exposed and probably going to be shut down
This is something that needs to be said about all Republicans. Their party’s been indulging in fascist politics since Goldwater ran on opposing the civil rights act six decades ago, but we keep pretending there are decent people with the intellectual capacity to serve in office who identify as Republicans anyway for some reason. The uncomfortable but simple fact is that there are only idiot Republicans who don’t realize their party’s continued existence is a threat to the country and evil Republicans who do, and neither should be in any kind of government office ever.
9·16 days agoNot the most evil bastard in history, but I think the world would be a vastly different and better place if Klemens von Metternich died young.
he did.
*organized labor forced him to do.
Also, I imagine they would look for ways to deny benefits to transgender veterans, veteran survivors of sexual assault who got discharged under corrupt circumstances, and other veterans they dislike for hateful reasons
All this, minus the respect part. The only thing different between them and the MAGAs is they have the small amount of intelligence required to know that in the long term Trump is going to hold them back and diminish their own power. This does not change the fact that they have been, for decades of their adult lives now, members of a political party that’s been implicitly and explicitly traitorous bigoted and anti-science since at least the mid 1960s.
Yeah, and Harris’s endorsement of that horrifying border security bill is a pretty big deal too. Say what you will about these candidates approaches to immigration but there’s no way you can say they’re not talking about it.
