First trump term I bought a modern combat rifle.

Second term I bought plates and a vest.

Doesn't matter if you think that shit should be legal, it is and everybody else has it. Fascists are pussies, they'll kill unarmed protesters without a second thought. But rifles and plates are a visual deterrent.

After the incident at the cemetery, he said he was taken to a cold cell in Burlington. He saw an immigration judge, who dismissed the assault charges federal agents brought against him.

Not surprising they left the judges name out, but I feel like that's an important detail that should be included ...

It's really fucking scary that The Oregon Trail generation got the best education American public schools have provided, ever...

It was shitty then, but God awful before and after that brief window.

Lots of animals can think abstractly.

What separates humans from animals is communication and tool use. Obviously other animals can, but none come close to humans in either category.

Books is a huge example of both. Humans don't have to figure out complicated concepts each on our own. The Internet is that on steroids, someone on the other side of the planet can read this post the second I hit "reply".

That exchange of information through tools is why we're ordering Taco Bell thru Uber from the couch instead of still chasing animals till they pass out.

Whether or not that's a good thing for us and the planet tho...

I mean, is your mom telling you you'll be grounded if you do it?

Even then, you can still just do it.

Shit comes back all the time, be the change you wanna see in the world.

It's trump...

If you're trying to argue he's loyal and won't switch sides in an instant, well, I'd be shocked anyone but a trump supporter would say that.

trump supports whoever gave the largest bribe, or the most recent substantial bribe. Hed turn on Israel in a heartbeat if it was personally profitable

Since nothing is going to stand in their way, how can we make sure they are held accountable for generations to come?

All that needs done is America threatening to cut off funding.

If Obama hadn't have done that, this would have all happened a decade ago

Biden openly said he'd never do that, and talked shit as VP when Obama did. Kamala said she'd be the same as Biden.

trump, depends on if someone bribes him more.

But if America gets a progressive president next with the courage to say "genocide is bad" and actually cut off Israel...

That will make Israel stop electing genocidal maniacs. The only reason they can vote for people like Bibi, is knowing no matter what they have the backing of America.

Without that, they wouldn't constantly be attacking other countries.

It's like if you had a annoying little brother that picks on everyone despite being small and weak, because if shit goes down, you protect them

Sometimes, you got to let your little bro learn what happens when no one else fights their fights for them...

Driving the news: Sirens sounded across Israel on Thursday night. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a special state of emergency across the entire country.

"Following the State of Israel's preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the state of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future," Katz said.

Who would have guessed Israel would surprise attack another country and then immediately play the victim...

If Newsom had the balls he'd start arresting ICE agents and throwing them in gen pop like everyone else in Cali's prison system.

Like, why did you manufacture this intractable problem by mandating clothing and shaming nudity in the first place?

You think humans invented clothing because of shame?

That's completely backwards, we invented clothing for protection, and not seeing everything all the time led to shame when someone could see us.

Like, I'm pretty sure hermit crabs feel something similar to shame when they don't have a shell, they need something to drive them to not only protect themselves, but to ensure they can reproduce and raise their young. That's why humans instinctually get weird about exposed genitals and boobs, those are the most important parts of a human from an evolutionary perspective.

I get what you're trying to say, it's just you're going about it completely backwards

Gee...

That's almost as bad as the Israeli spies celebrating as it happened...

The men were taking video or photos of themselves with the World Trade Center burning in the background, she said. What struck Maria were the expressions on the men's faces. "They were like happy, you know … They didn't look shocked to me. I thought it was very strange," she said.

Later:

The arresting officers said they saw a lot that aroused their suspicion about the men. One of the passengers had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock. Another was carrying two foreign passports. A box cutter was found in the van. But perhaps the biggest surprise for the officers came when the five men identified themselves as Israeli citizens.

According to the police report, one of the passengers told the officers they had been on the West Side Highway in Manhattan "during the incident" — referring to the World Trade Center attack. The driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem." The other passengers were his brother Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari.

From 4/24/25, but hadn't heard about it:

Today, DNC Chair Ken Martin and ASDC President Jane Kleeb announced a historic “organize everywhere, win anywhere” strategy – a new four-year agreement to deliver more resources into Democratic state and territory parties than ever before – delivering on Chair Martin’s commitment to turbocharging investments in on-the-ground organizing and party building. Under the new State Partnership Program (SPP) agreement, each state party will receive a baseline of $17,500 a month, a $5,000 per month increase over the last agreement, and Republican-controlled states will receive an additional investment of $5,000 a month through the DNC’s Red State Fund, putting their total at $22,500 every month. The combined investments total a monthly transfer of more than $1 million from the DNC to state parties – the committee’s largest investment into Democratic state parties in history

“Since the public can’t see or hear what’s happening in federal court firsthand, we’re using cutting-edge AI tools to bring these important proceedings to life, based entirely on official transcripts,” said Law&Crime President Rachel Stockman. “This is a pivotal moment in both popular culture and justice, and our goal is to provide accurate, transparent access to what’s actually being said in that courtroom.”

There's two "full time" Lemmy developers, and one of them just added a repeating dialog box that will pop up regardless of instance asking for money to be sent to his and another lemmy.ml admin's personal accounts as a salary.

There's an issue where trolls will "@" people who blocked them because it will still send a notification.

Sometimes it's just people who always do it, so it's likely unintentional.

But it's pretty obvious from a post history glance when they're only doing it with people who never respond to them. And definitely obvious after someone tells them about it

Example:

https://lemmy.world/comment/15711438

Is there anyway to make mention notification abide by the blocklist?

If not should we be reporting harassment to our admins or the admins of the account doing it?

Vest Patches? (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

So after the last couple years of seeing how protests get treated based on how much larping they're doing, I bought some plates and a carrier.

I'm fully aware the only thing it does is stop me from dying immediately from a body shot, and only covers like 10% of me.

But the only reason I got it was because cops have been showing for decades they won't start violence against protesters when even just a few are plated up and holding a rifle. And I got a feeling there's gonna be some protests again.

My issue is I look like a nazi's wet dream even when I'm not geared up, and it's not like someone can read a Tshirt under a plate carrier.

I wanted to grab some patches from SRA, but all they sell is stickers, and Etsy just has vague slogan patches you wouldn't be able to read from five feet away.

I did see some links where the reddit sub had been doing mass patch orders over the years. Is there any community not on the big social media doing the same?

Or any other methods to show you're an ally besides just facing the right way?

I'm also a little hesitant to slap something like an antifa rose on because I can't see trump not declaring them a terrorist group at some point.

Somewhat satire, somewhat actual investigation.

Pretty much same vibes as the Daily Show
