21·4 days agoAn organization coordinating like that to target individuals for retaliation also seem to start to get into things like RICO.
And before some dumbass comes in here talking about “no because government”… The courts have removed qualified immunity for less in the past.

THAT is much worse than the shit show we already have.

World News@lemmy.world•UK to create new 'British FBI' police serviceEnglish
10·6 days agoWhere the fuck do you get that idea? Because there are more cameras? Because that’s about the only thing more police state than giving every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a badge, a gun, and minimal oversight.

World News@lemmy.world•California becomes first state to join WHO disease network after US exitEnglish
1·7 days agoThe most obvious would be to prevent the exact situation we’re in now. But that would also require more than a handful of them to not be psycho/sociopaths.

World News@lemmy.world•California becomes first state to join WHO disease network after US exitEnglish
7·7 days agoIt should be actually, if not for the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, based on the 1910 census.
At the time the average was 210,000 constituents per representative, now we’re over 770,000 per representative. And those are averages, some districts are much higher and lower.
Congress set the current limit, they can change it. It doesn’t require an amendment or anything complicated.

News@lemmy.world•The Super Bowl Was Already Getting Political. Now Green Day Have Entered the ChatEnglish
32·8 days agoYou’d think the band adjusting the lyrics to explicitly reference Trump and Friends would be an indication of their intent. But that requires actually thinking about it.

News@lemmy.world•The Super Bowl Was Already Getting Political. Now Green Day Have Entered the ChatEnglish
128·8 days agoLove the MAGA that are so vocally against Bad Bunny but somehow are pro Green Day, presumably because they’re white and don’t know how to read or apparently listen to lyrics.
Reminds me so much of the MAGAs years ago talking about Rage Against the Machine, completely missing the point.

News@lemmy.world•Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Searching Data Seized During Raid on Reporter's HomeEnglish
2·9 days agoTotally agree. They wanted to insist we can be armed, so we will.
A reminder that the California gun control stuff really kicked off in the 1960s when Reagan, with NRA support, passed gun control laws in response to the Black Panthers arming themselves to monitor the cops. And the Black Panthers have started showing up in Minnesota. History loves to repeat itself.

3·9 days agobecause the plain text is rather clear
So is the 2nd amendment, that hasn’t stopped them even before the modern political climate. The entire text is a single sentence, explicitly in reference to a regulated militia. That doesn’t stop them from saying it means everyone and their fucking dog.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”.

News@lemmy.world•Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Searching Data Seized During Raid on Reporter's HomeEnglish
14·9 days agoAssuming the courts actually follow their own rules, which depending on the judge is a crapshoot now. And if it got there through appeals, the SC is just as likely to allow because they’re complicit.
Also, they’ll still have to data to do whatever the fuck else they want to with it. Like going after others.

News@lemmy.world•Iran issues chilling threat to US if Trump takes action against Supreme LeaderEnglish
2·10 days agoDo it Saw-style. Give them each a parachute, that they have to pack themselves. They can make their own decision, and they have the means to solve it themselves of they choose.
A charge for trespassing usually requires they first be told to leave and advised not to return, usually by the police advising about it.
It’s returning after you’re been officially trespassed that means a possible charge.
