Why do I have a feeling the administration would still try to find ways to not pay nonwhite families having kids?

Trump was propped up by people who believe this bogus “Great Replacement” theory and I don’t think they would be willing to back down from that stance on account of a generally declining population.

If someone had 3 eyes, would they trink?

Guessing the same, though to add another element into this that you bring up, private prisons are not included in the data that USA Today obtained. It also doesn’t appear to include any federal prison data either. Just local jails and state prisons.

Just to pull info from the article in case others don’t care to read, the vast majority of these deaths are still attributed to “natural causes” like illness, old age, or pre-existing conditions, though these are undoubtedly exacerbated by the conditions of prison life.

The point of concern though is that “unnatural causes” are generally on the rise during this period. Unfortunately, given the fact that some of the data is almost 10 years old at this point, it’s hard to say if the situation has gotten any better or worse since then.

Leviticus is from the Jewish part, though, and is therefore inherently less valuable to Christians unless there’s anything in there about murdering gays or treating women like property.

It could, in theory, if he succeeds at his plan of eliminating birthright citizenship.

Not European, but on my mom’s side, my mom is only an American citizen because she was born in the US, while my grandparents didn’t become naturalized until a little bit after. So that sort of thing terrifies me.

True, another valid point.

No, he wants to pull a Reagan part 2 and fire any government worker who goes on strike. Trump has an army of loyalists willing to do whatever he says, who would be more than happy to scab any strike to inefficacy. Even if they’re terrible at the job, all that matters is that they’re loyal.

No, you don’t get it, this is his fault (and Harris’s). Genocide Joe, right? We sure taught the Dems a powerful lesson.

Weird that it would be coming from Americans given how often US media has depicted the importance of the homefront during the various wars that America has participated in.

Militaries still need food and supplies to operate, so someone has to be making/raising/growing all of that stuff. And those workers need to be paid, accommodated, and kept happy, so every other industry like banking, education, healthcare, entertainment, etc. needs to keep running at full steam to prop up all aspects of the supply chain.

Guessing the Supreme Court ruling last year against Colorado undid all that. Since they ruled that states cannot make decisions that impact federal elections, it wouldn’t surprise me if the fed can now legally demand voter registration records or else refuse to count those votes.

Thanks, Trump.

Ah, so this is why the news this morning was randomly reporting on Abercrombie’s “comeback” featuring totally real and not-at-all astroturfed Tiktokers talking about how hip the company is again while putting on makeup.

Gotta control the narrative however they can.

Yeah Top Gear went to…weird places after the whole kerfuffle.

Ah, of course! What trio could be more iconic?

!Does anyone else hear what sounds like an angry mob of British car enthusiasts outside?!<

If you want more info about some other Anglosphere countries and their comparable organizations, along with a healthy dose of “Wait what the hell are these governments doing”, the Five Eyes article on Wikipedia has a helpful table of its member states and their respective intelligence apparati.

When I heard about the targeted moves against the FBI by DOGE, I got to thinking that the FBI is not the sort of organization you want to anger if you have skeletons in your closet. And even if you don’t, they’ll put one there to find.

But I’m worried we’re already at the point where the entire agency can be discredited (not entirely undeservedly) just because President Cheeto and Supreme President Musk could label any findings as “fake news” and the majority of Americans would take it as fact.

They could be the SA to whatever SS the Trump admin wants to replace them with (the Proud Boys?)

Just to nitpick, the CIA is more the “topple governments” organization.

I am sure the FBI is involved, but their operations are primarily internal affairs. It’s like MI5 and MI6 in the UK.

ICE isn’t a business though, it’s a government agency. It’s not something a citizen can boycott unless everyone just collectively stops paying taxes.

I don’t think the protest is all that effective either, but it’s better than a boycott.

Boycotts won’t work, as the ruling class has far more capital to throw around than we do. Blocking freeways interrupts life for normal folks but does serve to make the issue visible and have some degree of impact on local commerce. Ultimately, though, I am starting to think that the most efficient means of resistance is to come up with a few more Luigis, since most other strategies have been rendered ineffective.

How would this end any differently from other mainstream media outlets, though?
