politics @lemmy.world•SCOTUS Cobbles Together Excuse to Let Alabama Discriminate Against Black Voters in New Order
1·3 days agoThe immunity isn’t some absolute rule; I don’t seriously expect that the Republicans on the court think it applies to Democrats.

politics @lemmy.world•Mikie Sherrill’s state police riot in Newark is a national disgrace | New Jersey state troopers meant to protect Newark protesters from ICE are violently shredding the First Amendment instead.
4·5 days agoYeah. They don’t have authority to end the contract. Local officials can do things to interfere with utility hookups.
But sending in the local police to attack protesters and the press is just an asshole move

politics @lemmy.world•White House proposes new rules giving political appointees final say on research grants
52·8 days agoFunding and performing a large chunk of the world’s scientific research is not abusive, and with no other country stepping up at the needed scale, it’s going to leave everyone worse off.

12·8 days agoIt’ll take a year to get through the courts and in the meantime a huge chunk of junior researchers will find another career. This is going to permanently damage the US even if reversed

politics @lemmy.world•California ‘Class Traitor’ Tom Steyer Wants to Tax His Fellow Billionaires
151·8 days agoYes, but ICE changed tactics so it’s all less visible.
Same thing locally where I am. Signal chats are active, but we mostly respond to local cops doing something dumb and being mistaken for ICE
Several places have very active protests in support of the concentration camp hunger strikes too

1·8 days agoI don’t think they’re limiting it to those platforms. It’s just that they’re big so people are talking about them

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•After Traffic Stop for Phone in Right Hand, She Called Out the ProblemEnglish
281·8 days agoRealistically a lot. Especially for drivers with dark skin.
Automated enforcement gets actual violations if done right. But it tickets the white and rich a lot more, so there is huge pushback

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•After Traffic Stop for Phone in Right Hand, She Called Out the ProblemEnglish
16·8 days agoI don’t know how she did it, but the solution I’ve seen was to attach a spinner knob to the wheel. Cheap and easy to do. And gives mobility to somebody who otherwise wouldn’t have it

News@lemmy.world•Texas School Police Pepper-Sprayed, Tackled and Tasered Students
2·9 days agoTypo if you’re not understanding:
Escalating violently is what cops are trained to do. If you put a bunch of bored cops around students, who occasionally do dumb stuff, the cops will escalate violently some of the time.

News@lemmy.world•Texas School Police Pepper-Sprayed, Tackled and Tasered Students
21·9 days agoThe difference is that they’re stationed inside the school all day, every school day. They’re not there to respond to whatever emergency there is in the community, only to minor incidents inside the school, with the training to escalate violently.

politics @lemmy.world•The Case for California’s Billionaire Wealth Tax
17·11 days agoYeah, the billionaires pay people to write stuff like that. There’s a reason the Forbes tagline was long “The Capitalist Tool.”
