THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Man shot by ICE agents was stripped naked and abandoned without medical care, his lawyer saysEnglish
3·26 days agoI read the article, didn’t find the excerpt, then searched via CTRL-F for both ‘clothes’ and ‘handcuffed’ and got nada — six hours ago, but it’s there now. I envision hot, loud arguments over censorship at the <i>Times</i>, but more likely it was just a glitch.

4·27 days agoI do not find the paragraph about cutting off Hernández’s clothes, taking pictures of him, then leaving him handcuffed and naked. Cut from the paper’s coverage after initial publication?

2·1 month agoMight tucker out after a few months, but I’ll at least start by checking every bill at the bank and asking for exchanges. “Give me currency without that scumbag’s signature, please.”

News@lemmy.world•Trump relied on unverified intelligence to blame Iran for deadly school strikeEnglish
11·2 months agoThe Guardian is a bit better than average, but this “exclusive” is the same media bullshit seen everywhere — the pretense that Trump is a serious politician with serious thoughts and a serious agenda. He’s not, and the pretense is preposterous.

News@lemmy.world•Why Is The Cook County State's Attorney Prosecuting Nonviolent ICE Protesters?English
18·2 months agoThe article doesn’t quite answer the headline’s question, so I will: Why are they prosecuting non-violent protesters? Because cops are cops, so local cops support ICE, and prosecutors are virtually always on the cops’ side. There is no-one in government who actually believes you have a right to peacefully protest, unless you luck into a judge who still has a soul.

11·2 months agoAnd I’ve always wondered … why?
The Congressional habit of yielding power seems so at odds with… everything I’ve ever seen and (pretend to) understand about human nature.
Doug Holland@lemmy.worldOPMtoAMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND@lemmy.world•Two factsEnglish
12·2 months agoTariffs are a Congressional function. They’ve handed limited tariff authority to the White House, pre-Trump, but Trump’s tariffs are beyond those bounds, and were illegal via common sense long before the Supremes heard the case.




That headline is rubbish, so I assume the article is as well.
If I believed in God I’d simply know Trump is the antichrist, but it doesn’t matter. Trump seems to have absolute immunity for every crime, every scandal, every ghastly thing he says. Things have never and will never “look bad” for Trump until he’s dead, and if he dies while he’s President, rest assured JD Vance will be worse.
