This is the route that ICE agents took yesterday while their prisoner with a broken neck was bleeding profusely. The red dots are hospitals with ERs.
They were hoping he would just die.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
@gemmabeepo@quirked_up_anzu The median person is seriously not that bright, and by definition, 50% of the world is dumber than that…it’s a depressing realization.
@InternetH0F The bill still allows members to hold and sell their current stocks and is packaged with a Voter ID bill they know will not pass the Senate. This bill is a sham and should be viewed as such.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
As much as a U.S. loss at soccer may sadden us, the upside is that it’ll free everyone up to root for the Viking dude from Norway like we all secretly want to do anyways
Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al-Ashqar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
He leaves behind his wife of 5 months who is expecting their first child.
@firdaus_00@lewachi_1@21mimi8 It certainly can’t run a normal engine, which rely on burning fumes from gasoline or another fuel. In theory though I believe you could build an engine that uses sugar as a fuel; as living things we ‘burn’ sugar to move around all the time!
@Lizzdavve@lewachi_1@21mimi8 Yes, water has hydrogen and oxygen but lacks carbon. Chemical reactions have to remain balanced between the reactants and products, what you put in and get out. So, in a combustion reaction where CO2 is in the products you need to have a fuel that contains carbon as well.
@lewachi_1@21mimi8 Table salt, on the contrary, is sodium chloride (NaCl), which does not have the required carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen to combust. Same thing for water, H2O, no carbon!
@lewachi_1@21mimi8 Combustion reactions (burning) take a fuel and oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water. Table sugar, aka sucrose, has a chemical formula of C12H22O11 which can be used as fuel in a combustion reaction ( C12H22O11 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + heat)
