@SpiritAwakened9@maddenifico She did not claim to have been born in Mexico. If her parents are Mexican citizens and she was born in Maryland, she would have valid claims to citizenship in both Mexico and the US.
@StatisticUrban I want to know who in this country genuinely believes 40% of all Americans have served in the military. At that point the VA would cover so many people we’d effectively have single payer healthcare.
@katewillett it inconveniences the capital class and you get a rubber bullet to the face. All this to say I think we have to start by re-examining the ways we protest to make them more effective and impactful.
@katewillett But how do you wield civil disobedience effectively against privatized healthcare, anti-abortion laws, and the removal of gender affirming care for trans people? At best yelling in the street gets attention to your cause, and at worst … /3
@StoicalSophist@EmKayDubs@IwriteOK Apparently (granted it’s still early) the helicopter pilot acknowledged to ATC that it could see the plane just prior to the crash. Current official theories are that the pilot identified a visual of the wrong plane and did not in fact see the American eagle flight.
@Dharmaxgreg@IwriteOK The battery wouldn’t explode per se, but the result of puncturing it with a bullet would be a violent chemical fire with enough potential energy to push a car for 300 miles.
@Mr_Darklighter @AsliSpaceShip @Samantha_SN1 @ayeejuju He didn’t say that exactly, but he wasn’t far off. Moderators aren’t going to step in on something that’s debatable. That’s what the debate is for. They only stepped in when very obvious or long-debunked falsehoods were made, which Kamala was careful to avoid.
When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims.
If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline.
If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state.
Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.
@red__RD @IwriteOK I would be surprised if we don’t hear of other gunshot wounds at this event, but I’d wager everyone will be focused on the President for some time. I have heard initial reports of others injured.
@d3mi_17 @ask_aubry I could see the logic if they had *disclosed* the presence of the air tag. But they superglued it into a side compartment, presumably in the hopes it wouldn’t be found.
@ryanstrug@BWyvern_@vanillaopinions “Satellite measurements don’t match surface instruments”. How do you think they calibrate the satellite measurements?
@ryanstrug@BWyvern_@vanillaopinions It doesn’t have to measure all of it to get an average temperature. Also, they’re not measuring convection. They used infrared sensors, which are capable of assessing temperature over quite large distances.
