Even that’s fucked up though. He said he’d go to Costa Rica because they promised not to immediately send him back to CECOT (something sudan and the like have not promised).

And then the US government said, “okay, you can be deported to Costa Rica, but only if you plead guilty to all this heinous shit and serve your full jail time in federal prison first.”

I don’t disagree that the judiciary can’t (and shouldn’t) be considered a monolith, but aside from this decision, it’s important to know that several decisions against the administration have come from Republican appointed justices - some even Trump appointees.

I haven’t read this decision, but if they are saying the original order was based on a federal challenge and this concentration camp could be considered a state owned and operated facility, then contesting based on a federal law wouldn’t apply.

If we’re a betting person, I would guess this goes up on appeal, or the original plaintiffs would try a different, state statue based challenge.

I’m guessing processed foods, vaccines, and a sprinkle of whatever makes the kids trans. But good news! Drinking bear blood can cure it!

He should have respected the flag, like making it black and white except one of the strips is blue. Or by putting it on an article of clothing like underwear so the flag can literally go up your butt. You know, “respect”.

Oooooh, sorry. Didn’t you get the SCOTUS memo? Third countries (e.g. not the US or their original country) are absolutely okay now.

What? The person doesn’t speak Ugandan? Oh well not our problem!

This shit is so fucked up.

when has slacktivism ever changed the minds

Hey, don’t you remember how changing your Twitter profile picture to have a green overlay encouraged the Arab Spring to bring lasting democracy all over the Middle East?!? /s

As a counter point, the US would have to re-vote for the 14th Amendment.

As a counter counter point also the 2nd.

You know, I think I like the established way of doing amendments - passes by Congress and a plurality of the states.

It’s disgraceful how they did my boy Santos. How dare they convict a former astronaut and Basketball/Baseball MVP!

living in ignorant bliss not knowing what cheese actually is

May I introduce you to the godless abomination from St Louis, MO - Provel cheese

P. P. P. P. S. A portion of your paycheck is going to be garnished to pay for the pizza, the “supplementals” including paper plates and napkins, and little garlic dipping sauces will be provided at a minimal markup for cash or klarna.

Here’s a question for American Lemmy folks.

For those of you without a passport - where is your birth certificate? Does it list your parents’ names? That piece of paper is all that proves you’re a citizen. Lost it? Welcome to being undocumented.

Yeah, not to mention Alito (IIRC) made some concurring option that basically said, don’t fucking try to make everything a class action we’ll be watching for that.

Yes, but with exceptions for class action and for administrative process act (apa) nationwide injunctions.

The idea being, if you’re a member of a class in multiple states, you should be included in the injunction for the class even if (as the majority stupidly concluded) you aren’t the person actually asking for the injunction.

On a side note, the podcast Main Justice does a good job explaining these nuances.

Edit: this doesn’t mean things are solid for the class certification. The government will no doubt appeal (potentially directly to SCOTUS) to say the class definition is too wide/invalid. It’s not normal to just call Roberts up and ask for a hearing without going through the various appellate courts first, but we’re not in normal anymore.

Medicaid, which provides healthcare to low-income and disabled Americans

[…]

At one point, House speaker Mike Johnson circulated research from the conservative American Enterprise Institute finding that, after sleeping, playing video games was how Medicaid recipients who do not work spend most of their time.

Yes, because heaven forbid the poor and disabled enjoy life a little.

I’ve said this to my very conservative family when they talk about cheaters and welfare queens - I’d gladly give 10 people assistance even if some of them don’t “need” it. If it helps even a majority of the group, it’s worth it.

Edit: And here’s a thought. What would be an acceptable third thing they most spend their time doing?

Listen to that one rep who said we’re all gonna die!

We just need to accept the lord jesus into our hearts so that the hereafter will be assured! Fuck the present earth, it should go through trials like extreme weather, rampant sickness, wars etc - that’s just a sign that the second coming is near!

Hey, they said “nearly”. Gotta get those numbers up Texas.

“You cannot have this kind of whiplash,” Etheridge said. “If every four years tax policy changes drastically like this, we are not going to be able to build anything great in this country.”

No shit.if democrats ever get a trifecta again (highly unlikely) they’d better fucking pass actual laws rather than this budget bill crap.

But I’m just a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. Any day my ship will come in from these scratchers. Am I going to be okay?

I would get multiple drives and do RAID. Here’s a helpful calculator to figure out drive quantity, size, and configuration. The reason to do RAID is redundancy. Hard drives will fail (even NAS branded drives). You do not want your photos, media, etc to be lost in that case. I personally do not go with anything below RAID5 (and for super sensitive things, I’ll even go RAID6 - despite the hit on overall capacity. If the optiplex has drive capacity for multiple drives, I strongly recommend you go this route.
