The problem is I doubt a person like this will vote blue next election.

Why should he, all of this is obviously Biden's fault.

The electric shock gloves ICE is spending up to $20 million on are already being given to police officers in Omaha public schools The CTG-5 G.L.O.V.E. products deliver shocks ranging from 324 to 362 volts and have a hard operational limit of 380 volts. By comparison, a taser can reach between 1,200 and 1,500 volts. If only journalists took the 5 seconds to look up how voltage and current actual...

Something tells me gloves will used a lot more frequently than a taser.

ICE plans to equip its agents with gloves capable of delivering painful electric shocks to migrants. I'm sorry, what the FUCK?!

Hey come on, it only delivers shocks to migrants, it says.

There is no such automatic censorship. I assumed, from the italics, that they were referencing the word and not writing it. The first line of my reply was: If by “removed” you mean the R word, So I think I was clear. :)

Got it, thanks, that makes sense.

I think it was good that you mentioned it. That's one word I grew up using casually (90s kid) and I felt for a long time like "what the fuck is the big deal?" but I also have words I don't like being called (like Jap) and it doesn't feel good when people tell me it's not a slur.

A while back, I came to the conclusion that f someone is offended by it, the kind thing (maybe this isn't the right thing or logical thing) to do is not use it, or at least think about why it might hurt these specific people.

Yeah. Apparently cops have already been using them to torture children in the US

There are instances that replace some slurs with removed, afaik, so it could be Lemmy, but this time it is not, I think

I also used it until I was a young adult and became aware of the harm from it.

And your philosophy is a wise one <3

this is what you want in america, this is what you get. also evangelical whites hold the majority of influence in this country, being a POC or married to a POC voting R, does not make you an EXCEPTION, but a token to be thrown away.

Why do they always forget that tokens exist so they can get spent....?

Would you please consider removing the "S" word from your vocabulary when it comes to describing nazis? It is hurtful to scum, as you can see here. ^don't^ ^hurt^ ^me^ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ^or^ ^give^ ^me^ ^up^ ^;-)^

Looking at the article, he pretty much thought ICE would only detain people crossing the border from mexico.

So, all the signs at all his rallies saying "Mass Deportations Now!" Weren't enough of a clue for him? And the grand shitlord himself saying as much repeatedly? Jebus H Crust these people are fucking stupid and/or just awful, awful people.

From what I've read, she's out on bond, with a ankle monitor, awaiting a court hearing in a few months.

At least she's going to get a chance to make her case to a judge, which is better than most are getting. At least she wasn't sent back to Russia within hours of arrest, or even a third nation.

they think if they can find 1 thing in common with "white rich people" usually being rich is enough.
