The US is a no travel zone for me, on par with Russia.

The "supernatural miracle" being the very natural support of human orgs.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 6 days ago

Get fucked, man. You're stripping away your own humanity just to dunk on a woman and her fucking child who, by all accounts, were in a horrible situation under awful conditions.

You're a shitty atheist (or whatever the fuck you may or may not believe in). Worse, you're a shitty person.

Go touch grass dickhead

Yeah wtf has her God got to do with freeing her lol

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

I'm not religious and I don't agree with the train of thought but I would think it's probably something akin to "god sent these people to help me"

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's evolution for ya.

Even some non-human animals can develop superstituous beliefs.

You got my attention, now I'm curious. What animals do that?

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

B.F. Skinner had a paper called "'Superstition' in the Pigeon". This page gives a summary.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Awesome, thank you for the read.

The lead in the pipes is obviously doing these “miracles”

[-] [email protected] 67 points 1 week ago

These ICE agents are monsters. Those directing them are even worse.

"Just following orders"

Honestly every single one of them deserves to have their names and faces on public record

[-] [email protected] 63 points 1 week ago

Just why? It makes no logical sense to take an infant from their mother.

Pure cruelty and lack of thought.

Fire each and every person involved in that decision.

[-] [email protected] 51 points 1 week ago

The cruelty is the point. No one is getting fired.

If they unlawfully detained her, they should be prosecuted for false imprisonment and be imprisoned themselves upon conviction

Daily reminder to all my non-American homies. For the love of god do not travel to the US unless you absolutely have to.

The risk is not worth it and they dont deserve your money.

Find somewhere else to vacation. Limit it to absolutely necessary travel only.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

Cancelles plans to go over next year, it can wait twenty years until you guys get a grip again.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

20? Wow. Someone is optimistic.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

US ineptitude fortunately goes both ways.

Imagine being given the starting point a foot short of the finishing line and fumbling the win.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

I was just at a get together yesterday, and even standard white citizens are afraid to leave the country, fearing they'll have a hard time when they return. We're hearing lots of stories of people being grilled about their social media accounts, their opinions of the government and the president, etc. Eventually they'll start turning away American citizens for their political views, stranding them in another country without documentation.

[-] [email protected] 53 points 1 week ago

The cruelty is the point, as ever.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago

Why?

"If you don't look Aryan, we want you to feel like this is not a country you're welcome in. Get out." Is the message they're passing, with illegal cruelty as the medium.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

I was 'welcome home'd by a US CBP officer after flying into Washington from Africa...I'm not an American, and don't have American residency, but I'm white and speak with a neutral dialect.

I think you're right.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 1 week ago

Cruelty is the point. These fuckers have no souls.

[-] [email protected] 44 points 1 week ago

Having immigration control interfere with healthcare facilities is disgusting

[-] [email protected] 41 points 1 week ago

Babies need to feed around the clock. Our humanity disappearing fast.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago

This isn't new. In the first administration, they were separating nursing mothers, and non-verbal toddlers. Despite the efforts of the Biden administration, nearly 1000 children have still not been reunited with their parents, and likely never will be.

And that doesn't include the kids who ended up trafficked as sex workers or house slaves.

That policy was never properly investigated. If we ever get out of this, it will be important to investigate EVERY allegation of criminal activity by the MAGA Nazis, and prosecute every perpetrator. No mercy, no forgiveness.

Just one scandal to the next. Their blitzkrieg is exhausting (and by design).

[-] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago

This is misogyny at work. They have no idea how painful a milk blockage can be, and if there was a female officer present she was not heard.

Of course this is only one aspect of everything that is wrong here.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago

I work with little babies and this makes me so mad knowing how traumatic this would be.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

The cruelty is the point

It's what they enjoy

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

Anyone who didn't vote for Harris contributes to this.

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

Why couldn't the democrats come up with a progressive candidate instead of making this a rightwing vs rightwing race? Aren't political parties supposed to make people want to vote for them?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

Both are true here.

Yeah the Democrats absolutely shit the bed, and still are. But also it was clear that this president was not willing to uphold the constitution, was corrupt and incompetent. If you didn't care enough to focus on stopping Trump you weren't taking the situation seriously.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I am not allowed to vote in the US, so you definitely can't blame it on me lol

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Sorry, meant you in the abstract. Not you specifically.
