I bet the troll farms still have full access

cowvin ,

From what I've read, the troll farms mostly operate funded by Russia but are physically located outside of Russia. For example, Macedonia had quite a few.

DocMcStuffin , in Mortgage rates jump to 6.81%, their highest level this year
@DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world avatar

Nearly 82% of home shoppers reported feeling “locked in” by their existing low-rate mortgage, according to Realtor.com, while around 1 in 7 homeowners without a selling plan cited their current low rate as their reason for remaining on the sidelines.

Isn’t this one of the big problems right now? Most of the buying is coming from corporations who turn around and provide rentals at jacked up rates. Even if I wanted to sell now, I would have to settle for one of those rentals or put most of that money back into a new mortgage at an inflated cost and interest rate.

Partially?

I feel like existing homeowners that feel stuck by their low interest rates are is a hellova better spot than someone trying to buy a home with existing interest rates…

This is great to see.

My biggest complaint about Democrats has always been their lack of balls, and weird cultish insistence that they always take the “high road” and try to work with Republicans in good faith.

There’s no pettiness here. The changes he made are very good, positive help for our state, whereas veto of the entire budget would have been a disaster.

MicroWave OP , in Philly leaders sue ghost gun manufacturers just days after mass shooting
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

According to the city’s lawsuit, “So-called ‘ghost guns’ – home-assembled, unserialized, and untraceable firearms that are sold and purchased without regard to firearm regulations – have become the weapon of choice for those seeking to evade firearm laws. Unsurprisingly, the number of ghost guns recovered at crime scenes has skyrocketed in recent years.”

Psionicsickness , in FBI Hired Social Media Surveillance Firm that Labeled Black Lives Matter Organizers “Threat Actors”

peaceful Black Lives Matter protest

Just wanted to clarify, I assume you’re being sarcastic? You believe every Black Lives Matter protest was a violent affair? Because that’s pretty verifiably false. Not to mention, not the crux of this article.

This article is about how the FBI lied in court about its social media monitoring capabilities. If you want to spout off unverified theories about how every protest was violent, you could make your own post/community. You could also try actually contributing to the discussion, but of course you don’t have to.

Bipta ,

I went to BLM protests and felt unsafe... because of the right wingers who approached me obviously hoping for violence.

afraid_of_zombies2 , in Texas woman traumatized after being forced to carry an unviable pregnancy to term

Another proud moment for Christianity

dragonflyteaparty , in Texas woman traumatized after being forced to carry an unviable pregnancy to term

Absolutely deplorable. I feel so terrible for those women. What an awful thing to go through. Even if a pregnancy goes well, it’s still incredibly hard. It’s also likely that the twin only lived because they selectively reduced the twin pregnancy in another state.

The argument against them is ridiculous. That it was really doctors who failed them? How? What’s the logic in that? It’s impossible to detect these birth defects before six weeks pregnant. We don’t have the technology for it. But it’s not fatal for the birth parent, so Texas doesn’t care.

That their case should be dismissed because they had a “go fund me”? This one really gets me. How does a “go fund me” negate the actions of the state? Or is the logic really “they got money and they’re only doing this for money?”

braxy29 ,

But it’s not fatal for the birth parent, so Texas doesn’t care.

even worse, even when it’s fatal a lot of medical professionals are now afraid to act until something is IMMEDIATELY fatal in texas. you’ve got women suffering, waiting for a predictable medical disaster, hospitals telling them “come back when you’re septic” and won’t do anything before then.

RichardBonham , in Risk of major disruption as UPS strike looms in US
@RichardBonham@kbin.social avatar

I like how the interviewee remarked on his concerns for the younger union members.

I imagine the Teamsters are too large and too savvy to go for a new contract that creates a two-tier system of new members with a crappier package than senior members. They should know that would be a death spiral for union membership.

Just as Texas intended

Sacrifices must be made up appease the religious extremist voter base

PeterPoopshit ,

You have to remember more than half the people in Texas vote for this shit while believing they live in the most free place in the world. Should freedom mean the freedom to take away other people’s freedom or should it mean the freedom to do what you want?

The takeaway from this is if you live someplace like this the average person is not your friend. Get out while you still can.

MeetInPotatoes ,

6 Catholics overturned Roe too. Catholics only represent 23% of the population and tend to have much stricter views on abortion than Jewish and Hindu folks for instance. Maybe we shouldn’t let 6 people from the same freaking religion decide anything with religious overtones. But if we do, and in the case of abortion…maybe it shouldn’t be the people that think Jesus got magically beamed into Mary’s womb from orbit.

DarthBueller ,

To correct you and also amplify the irony: Roe was overturned by 6 Catholic justices whose views on abortion diverge greatly from the 64% of American Catholics and 40% of American Catholic Republicans that believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases.
