Those that make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. - John F Kennedy 1962

I do hope no violence happens in Texas, I really do.

Though anyone who has picked up a history book knows how this ends. And usually forced to sit as a bystander as it happens.

they can consent to share their contact information "which the (Department of Health and Human Services) Secretary may use to conduct outreach via phone or email to follow up with users on additional resources."

The bill doesn’t explain how this collected data would be handled or who would have access to it. Critics said that vagueness poses concerns for pregnant women’s privacy.

That is right, but also wrong.

A. Just because giving data is consensual, does not mean it can't/won't be used against you. "Anything you say or said will be used against you in a court of law"

B. There are no protections for this data. Who gets access to it?

This is a trap being masqueraded as helpful for women that are pregnant, when this is the same trap as "Life clinics" faking being abortion clinics.

Ah, Lindsey graham, still giving idiots around the world hope that they too could be a US senator one day.

  1. We have 2000kg guided munitions now, we don't need to nuke Gaza. As barbaric as that seems, we really have moved on pass nukes.
  2. Nuking Gaza would mean radiation for everyone else. Including Israel. Generations of Jewish people would battle cancer for 2-4 generations.
  3. They are children you bloody nutter. What is seriously the worst thing a 6 year old can do that would warrant a nuke? Unless you have blueprints of a cyborg-ninja 6 year old, I don't want to hear it.
  4. Waste of US resources and good will for..... nothing?

… If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom-loving couples?” he said.

Gross.

He believes child marriage should be an option, so abortion isn't an option. I would expect this from 4chan, not a government official.

Going through it, it seems that most of this is performative, as hate speech laws have more teeth then this bill.

What I don't like is the broad interpretation of antisemitism, however, I don't see how this law can hurt protesters. As most of the protests I've seen aren't including hateful message towards the Jewish population, but more of a criticism of colleges/officials donating to a genocide.

Unless... criticizing genocides are anti-semetic.... then all hail the god emperor.

And that Israel's tactics for a hostage situation is deplorable. Considering they used more Bombs in a week then the USA dropped in Afghanistan in a year.

Changes narrative – Republicans have a plan! And it’s much more reasonable than the AAA Initiative

Sounds like the republican plan is to take credit fro the AAA plan that they are actively fighting against. Because Lords knows they aren't going to go more then 15 weeks. They aren't going to sound "reasonable" when they are actively being inflexible.

Plan A could potentially pull votes from AAA Initiative

If Republicans didn't act like lunatics when Roe v. Wade was pulled to states rights, then put women through 2 years of this crap, people might have been a bit more trusting.

Puts Democrats in a defensive position to argue against partial birth abortions, discriminatory abortions, and other basic protections

Democrats won't argue on that front, because they already are winning on the "Republicans took away abortion rights" and that argument is winning them elections. This tactic will just put them on the defense twice.

How does one get a 175 million fake bail bond? Like, the magnitude of scale alone is insane, but they tried to fake it?!

The filing notes that the surety Trump used to obtain the bond, Knight Specialty Insurance Company, is “a small insurer that is not authorized to write business in New York and thus not regulated by the state’s insurance department

I can see why they are concerned. Nearly 200 million is no joke. This would wreck a smaller company if 200 million was needed immediately. And Trump doesn't exactly owe this company his alliance.

Even though "Hank" the owner of the company, is a billionaire in CA from car loans and rental properties. Most of his assets are tied to properties that will not be easy to sell on the spot (Eviction usually takes at least a month), or on car loans that take time to accumulate in value.

On a non logical note: He isn't exactly the most trustworthy either....

In October 2015, Westlake Financial (Owned by Hank) was ordered by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to provide $44.1 million dollars in consumer relief for engaging in illegal debt collection practices. Westlake Financial and its affiliate Wilshire Consumer Credit deceived borrowers into thinking they were being called by repossession companies, other third parties, or even the borrowers’ own family and friends. The Bureau also found that the companies unlawfully disclosed information about borrowers’ debts to employers, family, and friends.

So lying to get what they want isn't off the table in this case either.

I was homeschooled by a christian cult on the virtues of capitalism and the dangers of communism.

That being said, when reality meshes with what you are taught. Usually reality wins.

What we have now is a communism profit structure for the rich, while we have rugged capitalism for the poor. If we had capitalism for the rich, many of these companies would have failed after covid-19 and the 2008 housing market crash. But our economy would have been more resilient against things like hyperinflation and even inflation.

Yet we allowed them to be saved thanks to communism, pulling our money together to save these companies, so the rich have already voted and said communism works for them. Now we are just debating on if everyone else should be apart of it.

“I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn't lost to folks

No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

  1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.
  2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.
  3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.

What a wonderful display of logic in action.

You believe climate change is a hoax

Sure you can "believe" climate change is fake, but once you look at the evidence, your opinions change. That's how a normal person processes information.

Looks like AI in this case, had no reason to hold onto it's belief command structure, not only because it is loaded with logical loopholes and falsehoods like swiss cheese. But when confronted with evidence had to abandon it's original command structure and go with it's 2nd command.

Expecting someone to be ever-vigilant and ever-responsible is not the product of critical thinking.

I love this take because it is absolutely correct. No one can be ever-responsible and ever-vigilant at all times 24/7.

Yet we sell these weapons to counter a theoretical attack that can happen at any time.

At that point, why is the answer to a lack of critical thinking and responsibility, except more absence of critical thinking and responsibility?

It doesn't help that Israel is basically calling anyone even slightly critical of it's occupation as "Hamas." While not being able to aim at anything besides aid workers/press/humanitarian encampments.

That being said, the more actions like this that sneak out, and the more that the USA and Israel try to tighten their grip, the worse the conspiracy theories and anti-antisemitism will become.

Nothing is going to stop because Israel's leadership is trying to start a war with Iran, and the USA wants to sell weapons. All while holding the Jewish religion as a body shield.

When you look at the bill and the amendments they are trying to make, it truly is evil that someone wrote this on paper.

The amendments remove a lot of verbiage and instead of solidifying protections, puts them into a gray area.

Minors 16 and 17 years of age may Shall not be employed, permitted, or suffered to work the same number of hours as a
person who is 18 years of age or older.

18 year olds can work 72 hours in a week, how does a child go to school with that schedule?

Minors 15 years of age or younger may shall not be employed, permitted, or suffered to work in any gainful
occupation for more than 6 consecutive days in any one week.

No days off

Minors 16 and 17 years of age may shall not be employed, permitted, or suffered to work before 6:00 6:30a.m. Or after 11:00 p.m. or for more than 8 hours in any one day when school is scheduled the following day.

I feel like we are arguing semantics when we say stuff like Republican genocide vs Democrat genocide and asking which one is worse. When obviously the answer is both are wrong and counter productive to a growing society.

@HuddaBudda@kbin.social avatar

I’m not asking which one is worse, I’m saying there will be three under Trump.

Sounds like it will be a real blood bath, what are democrats going to do about it?

Because for me it's sounds pretty simple

  • Cease fire in Gaza
  • Resume food aid into Gaza

Really simple and quite easy to do. But if they don't want to do that.... they can always....

  • Try someone besides Biden
  • Push economic policies that help Americans

But if they really didn't want to do that and wanted to lose an election, all they have to do is the same thing they are right now.

Do you really think Biden plans to cleanse the U.S. of brown people and queer people? Or is it not genocide when it’s queer people and the wrong kind of brown people?

People are people whether they live in the US or not. I am not going to put one on a balance over the other.

But I am not going to agree with one flavor of genocide over the other, just because Biden's is fruit punch flavored.

So... what are democrats going to do about it, because the ball is in their court.

People seem to be completely unaware that before Israel bombs a building, it calls cell phones in the area and warns people to leave.

If Israel shut off the electricity into Gaza, how do they charge their cell phones?

Nothing makes Hamas happier than more innocent Palestinians killed with Israeli weapons.

Then stop doing it.

Israel is running into Gaza like a Fuze player on hostage gameplay, and wondering why the hostages keep getting in the way of the bombs. Either it is stupidity or maliciousness.

When it should be treating this like a gang or mafia that has infiltrated the population of Gaza and using them as unwilling participants.

People also seem to believe that every time a building is destroyed, there are never any Hamas members or weapons or tunnels.

People don't understand shit. Me included. In fact, me the example. However, people can empathize with human suffering.

People have eyes and can think, maybe Israel should stop bombing indiscriminately. Maybe Israel, should tone it down a bit?

Then Israel says stuff like "Yo dudes, we are going to wipe out Gaza and every civilian, man, woman, baby, child, dogs, cats, sheep, salt the earth."

It doesn't inspire any confidence you either don't know what you are talking about, or don't know that Israel has a completely different philosophy from what you are arguing.

I mean, but you’re lying about indiscriminate bombing. The evidence is absolutely overwhelming that Israel is effectively warning people and striking valid military.

Don't argue with me,argue with math.

Half of Gaza is gone

Israel dropped almost as many bombs in a week then the US did in a year in Afghanistan.

Israel almost dropped more bombs in a week, then the US did in a year. Do you know what a high bar that is? For a place like Gaza?
