And has your family started the “well she should have just complied” victim blaming?

and they exist, in large part, because articles like this normalize it.

congratulations in defending part of the problem.

And in making that argument, it signals to the racist assholes that the problem being that she’s white, blonde and professional, and therefore the rest are fair game.

which as you say, erodes everyone’s rights. But that’s not particularly important to me. the rights of all are worth protecting even if that weren’t true.

Uhg. FTA:

“She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent. This should be a warning sign for MAGAt as they could be preyed by ICE at any time!”

None of that is a reason to believe she’s not an undocumented immigrant. And being brown, curly-haired, not-a-medical-worker is not any reason to believe they’re an undocumented immigrant.

Is this objectionable behavior by ICE? absolutely. But not because of who the victim is. but because there IS a victim. everyone in this country is protected by the constitution, and afforded the rights of due process- which ICE is flagrantly violating the shit out of.

Can we please stop with the special classes of people like this?

You may have read the article, but the article doesn’t tell the whole story and only focuses on one of the groups. The others were in fact your run of the mill conservative grifters looting things.

Should they have vetted them more thoroughly? Yes, probably. But it was also Covid and they were responding to a food crisis.

NYT is shitting the bed on this one, and outside of some of our more rabid republicans in MN, no one is really buying it here. You know. The kind of republicans that think they’re putting litter boxes in elementary schools, for the students.

Catnip?

I’d rather clamp them slowly in a machinist’s floor vice.

Pic for reference.

Man pages are wonderful, yes.

Trump should go back to where he came from.

That is to say, Hell.

if I want to torture myself and, hum, make a custom multicolor filament, yeah.

I prefer to respect myself, so I have a sign saying “Don’t” on the box of junk with the splicer and similarly bad ideas.

Short answer? probably not. particularly when considering the second paragraph.

“the force” is not a fundamental force as described in physics. Speaking as a fan of Star Wars, don’t get me wrong, but The Force™ is bullshit handwavium to explain why the BathrobeRaverSquad can do the things they do. you’re not going to find some special force literally or proverbially fictitious that will let someone do the things they do.

If there was, we’d see that in the world today.

All of that said, our understanding of the universe and it’s nature is imperfect. It’s something we improved incrimentally getting better and more accurate models as we progress. it’s certainly possible that there is something new to be found, but it’s highly unlikely.

because ramming innocent people in giant SUV’s isn’t satisfying enough.

Yeah. Better check that code for back doors.

So goodbye Yellowstone.

Exactly.

She used a shitty source (and probably nothing else.)

Even if you say psychology is a wishy-washy science, it’s still science. The teacher failed her for not providing empirical evidence based on proper studies. The student is going to have a hard time of it, if her only response is to scream persecution. (And yes, that’s exactly what’s going on here.)

“Freedom of speech” is bullshit. She got to say what she wanted, and now she gets to get the grade she deserves.

Also, they were pushing ads for ICE recruitment.

FTA:

A psychology student at the University of Oklahoma says the failing grade she received on an essay where she cited the Bible was a violation of her right to free speech. Her instructors said she failed to use empirical evidence and called parts of her essay offensive.

In her essay, which was in response to an article about how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender, junior Samantha Fulnecky wrote that traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes, according to an earlier Oklahoman report. She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating gender in society would be “detrimental” because that would put people “farther from God’s original plan for humans.”

It’s psychology, not religious studies. She got a failing grade because she said thing and used a shitty source to back it up. Psychology is not religious studies.

True.

can’t boycott any harder.

move to Jericho.
