A man named Peter, who had escaped slavery, reveals his scarred back at a medical examination in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while joining the Union Army in 1863.

Yup, that's far alright:

Side note: ICE now has a bigger budget than the FBI, DEA and Bureau of Prisons put together.

They're gonna be working hard to justify that budget. Things are going to get a whole lot worse for our American friends. :(

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

What was the justification for that budget?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

No idea, the justifications would have been discussed in Congress. The "Big Beautiful Bill Act" (HR1) section 100052 just says $29,850,000,000 is allocated for Immmigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Unfortunately we’re just getting started on building the sanctuary districts, sure would be nice if we could just skip WW3

Skipping it is exactly what should be done when it is started. Refuse to fight under any circumstances.

Sorry with all due respect I am curious how this ties to the topic of the post? I feel like I'm missing something.

We're bringing slavery back. Edit: not that it ever went away. You're allowed to enslave people as punishment under the 13th amendment. Hence the prison industrial complex.

Yes exactly. Maybe soon we'll be inventing the airplane and the dirigible?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Right and I agree with that, but unless my client is bugged this post is about technological innovation boom in the 1900s?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

This person is physically incapable of discussing anything else.

Do just technological innovation? Don't Google this but rockets and turbines and basically whole branches of propulsion, thermodynamics, encryption, flight dynamics, fluid dynamics, computing all had a start in this time frame all related to the old baddy Germany and all might have a rebirth? Not LOL but having all sorts of science groups ignored, refunded and marginalized along with the more personal gender identity, migration status and such, all of that is repeating history.

Oh well when you put it like that
