    cultsuperstar Bot , in Alabama GOP refuses to draw second Black district, despite Supreme Court order

    This really shouldn’t surprise anyone. Trump himself said that if minorities vote, there will never be a Republican elected again. The GOP has taken this to heart, which is why they’re always trying to come up with ways to make it harder for minorities to vote, by like shortening voting times (limiting when polling stations can be open), restricting mail-in ballots, etc. So they find ways to fuck over minorities and change laws/bills to benefit Republicans.

    It’s funny that whenever Republicans call foul and demand recounts, it’s always Republican supporters that are caught voting more than once.

    asparagus9001 ,

    The funny thing is if you go back to George Bush - they were conceivably on the path to have a permanent majority if they ever got their immigration reform plan done. Latinos y centroamericanos are overwhelmingly Catholic and to various degrees on the conservative side of things, and the Republicans threw it all away to be racist.

    @Jakdracula@lemmy.world avatar

    I am amazed that we’ve never had a female on the joint chiefs of staff .

    venorathebarbarian ,

    It’s 2023 ffs. I too am amazed (and shocked, and appalled) that we’ve only just now gotten a woman on the joint chiefs of staff.

    Sucks when I can’t even be excited cuz I’m just so disappointed it took this long.

    dhork ,

    She’s not there yet. We have to convince Coach to not throw a fit over it first.

    venorathebarbarian ,

    Ugggggh I forgot about that. So, it’s not happening then. Probably. Maybe next decade.

    Colonel, you raped her? Congrats on your promotion to General.

    Blamemeta ,

    Well the military is about 99% men, and even less women sign up past the first 8 years. It makes unfortunate sense.

    Idaho has a huge white nationalism problem and I doubt this made much of a dent.

    FTFY AMERICA the WORLD has a huge white nationalism problem.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    I agree, but Idaho has an especially big issue there. White nationalists are trying to make it a mini-ethnostate.

    Manifish_Destiny ,

    Idaho native here.

    They operate through a nonprofit here in order to lobby for hate. It is an exceptionally huge problem. There’s a dude not 40 minutes from the capitol city with a warrant for his arrest and a militia and the government is just letting him do what he wants.

    Eldritch ,

    Oregon and Idaho were specifically founded with racist ideologies in mind. Who saw a renewal in relevance and resurgence in the '70s and '80s.

    Well, China doesn’t; although they do have a huge Han-supremacism problem.

    Stick with potatoes, Idaho. At least those are delicious after you poke holes in them and put them in the microwave for eight minutes.

    You know, something I’ve been wondering lately is how many 18650 batteries you’d need to boil water with a jerry-rigged magnetron and beam focuser if you’re 50ft~100ft away.

    Lol batteries. Megatron uses energon cubes.

    “someone reported seeing people loading into a U-Haul van like ‘a little army’ at a hotel parking lot in Coeur d’Alene”

    That’s all you need to know to see how safe these guys felt in their actions. It literally didn’t occur to them to maybe hide all that, just a bit? FFS, when I’m loading up to go shoot at my camp, I keep it on the downlow. And this is a hyper conservative area.

    negativeyoda , in Judge: West Virginia can't require incarcerated atheist to participate in religious programming

    So while I’m all for this, think about the person trying to get a parole board to write off on their parole. Even if the person is in the right I can only imagine that it’s still in that person’s best interests to at least act the good christian because the parole board can deny them for any reason with no need to explain.

    American society is so fucked.

    irotsoma ,
    @irotsoma@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah, but it sounds like they already crossed that line. Once that happens, may as well stick up for your rights. Regardless of whether they went through the program. The corrupted parole board will already prejudge them as a bad person for not believing in their version of their god.

    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    You also get special privileges if you’re religious in prison, like better food if you’re keeping Kosher or Halal and being let out of your cell to go to religious services. Even if you’re an atheist, I could see why you would pretend.

    SeaJ , in Alabama Failed to Carry Out Its Last Two Executions. It’s Trying Again This Week.

    They won’t do nitrogen because there is no protocol despite being legal for five years. But clearly the protocol for lethal injection is shit. So instead of using that would almost certainly be painless they will do something that has caused many painful deaths over the years simply because they’ve done it before.

    FlyingSquid , in Liberal justices blast Supreme Court majority for allowing Alabama execution
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    It took six minutes to insert the two IVs. This is just torture.

    Jesus. How badly trained are the medical people on that team?

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Probably the worst to come out of medical school. What other health care worker would voluntarily execute someone like this?

    randomwords ,

    They do not have medical degrees typically, people with those have usually sworn to do no harm.

    okamiueru , in Nebraska teen sent to 90 days in jail over abortion

    Seems News is just “US News”. I gave up all interest in US politics after the 2016 primaries. Good luck with fixing your shit. I’m out.

    fidelacchius ,

    Of course it is. The US invented the internet. Everything defaults to the USA unless specified otherwise

    KpntAutismus ,

    maybe because the US is very controversial because bad decisions get made constantly? when other governments make horrible brainrot-level decisions, that gets international attention as well.

    Once again, the people at the top make bank while the workers get nothing.

    UFODivebomb ,

    The workers got comparatively less than they had. So “the people at the top make bank while the workers sacrifice more” is more accurate.

    MicroWave OP , (edited ) in Texas A&M President Resigns Amid Fallout Over Journalism Program
    @MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

    Can’t believe something like this happened at a big public university

    Ms. McElroy ultimately turned down the one-year contract, she said, and the episode became a full-blown crisis for Texas A&M after The Texas Tribune first reported on the conflict. Ms. McElroy described a series of conversations in which the Arts and Sciences dean told her that there was political pushback to her appointment.

    “I said, ‘What’s wrong?’” Ms. McElroy recalled of her conversation with the dean, José Luis Bermúdez. “He said, ‘You’re a Black woman who was at The New York Times and, to these folks, that’s like working for Pravda.’” Ms. McElroy, who left The Times in 2011, did not immediately return a call seeking comment on Friday.

    It’s shocking and appalling, but conservatives attacking professors and college administrators giving into them as once great institutions implode is where we’re at right now. From a prior article about this story linked at the bottom of OP,

    In 2021, Nikole Hannah-Jones, a writer for The New York Times Magazine, was denied a tenured position at the University of North Carolina (“tHe nAtIoN’S FiRsT PuBlIc uNiVeRsItY”), after the university’s board of trustees refused to approve her appointment. Conservatives had taken issue with her involvement in The Times’s 1619 Project, which re-examined slavery in the United States.

    Stovetop ,

    I had an opportunity to once attend a lecture by Nikole Hannah-Jones. Amazing experience. She was not shy about addressing problems of whiteness in academia and I can only assume it’s for that reason and that reason alone that she would be denied a position at a university.

    I live in the city this happened. I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to do physical work in this weather. May he RIP.

    Well, 90 days in jail is better than the sentence the baby received.

    Apartment5A ,

    Fetus is just a term for an unborn baby. What magic do you believe happens when a baby is born? The vagina sprinkles pixie dust on it and it becomes sentient and a real person? Lol.

    lolcatnip ,

    That’s a shockingly ignorant statement.

    tallwookie ,
    @tallwookie@lemmy.world avatar

    that means all of us C-section babies aren’t people!

    or the vagina doesn’t actually do that, lol

    refurbishedrefurbisher ,

    A life full of misery and pain because the parents are unable/not ready to support a child?

    The fetus wasn’t even consious at this stage.

    Apartment5A ,

    Agreed, which is why I believe you should be able to murder people who pass out at parties early.

    “Officer, they weren’t even conscious, bro.”

    Also, scientifically, a baby develops its first sense, touch around 8 weeks, which connect to their developing brain. Furthermore, the current lack of consciousness, if it were true, doesn’t/shouldn’t forfeit your right to develop/gain consciousness.
