It makes no sense to punish these people who were brought over by no choice of their own when they were children and have become successful members of society. The only rational thing to do is give these people a clear chance at gaining at the very least a green card.

And the truly sad thing is that his fans will continue to believe Trump’s claims about Engoron’s wife and the clerk controlling the trial because they hate him.

West Virginians Could Get Stuck Cleaning Up the Coal Industry’s Messes (www.propublica.org)

West Virginia’s fund to clean up abandoned coal mines is in such dire shape that it threatens to stick taxpayers with hundreds of millions — perhaps even billions — of dollars in cleanup costs. And yet, little is being done to turn things around....

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Yep. It’s a great racket. Open a mine with huge tax breaks, then don’t worry about safety over output and pay fines much lower than any profits you might have made. When the mine is no longer profitable, walk away and leave it up to the taxpayers to figure out what to do about it.

I’ve only been to West Virginia once. I only drove through it. It must have been those parts of the state because I tried to get through it as fast as possible. It was the ugliest countryside I’d ever seen. Just mountaintop after mountaintop flattened down with big coal seams sticking out everywhere on the sides and chunks of it at the tops. Not one tree. Even Kansas and Oklahoma have trees and they’re big plains.

I posted the picture before you made your edit. Or at least before I saw it.

And there were basically all strip mines through the part of the state I drove through.

Penguin Random House and bestselling authors sue Iowa over school book-banning law (www.nbcnews.com)

The nation’s largest publisher and several bestselling authors, including novelists John Green and Jodi Picoult, are part of a lawsuit filed Thursday challenging Iowa’s new law that bans public school libraries and classrooms from having practically any book that depicts sexual activity....

“It’s also created the paradox that under Iowa law, a 16-year-old student is old enough to consent to sex but not old enough to read about it in school,” Novack said.

I’ll be interested in finding out how Iowa’s lawyers try to pretzel themselves out of that one.

Mainly because they’re going after schools, where it’s already been ruled that the right of free speech can be restricted (they can mandate clothing rules and punish kids for swearing as two examples), but I’m thinking this is a big step too far even for the courts. Unless the courts have been stacked, obviously.

Chance Brannon, 24, is one of three men charged in the Molotov cocktail attack on the building in Costa Mesa, which occurred while Brannon was an active-duty Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton, officials said.

No one was hurt in the March 13, 2022, incident, which occurred in the early morning when no one was there. The front entrance had some burn damage, and the clinic had to reschedule about 30 appointments.

What exactly did these idiots hope to achieve?

Doesn’t seem to have worked out for them, considering their ‘terror’ appears to have resulted in a mild inconvenience and them getting court sentences.

Marjorie Taylor Greene hears about an Asian tick invasion and says this justifies why TikTok should be banned.

Why is it any worse than any other commercial social media company? Unless you mean they should all be banned.

Even if that wasn’t true, this particular anti-illegal immigration measure is excessively cruel and deserves to be taken down.

What Republicans never admit to is that illegal immigration is a civil violation, not a criminal violation. Putting them in cages should not be legal. Attempting to cause them bodily harm if they make that civil violation should certainly not be legal.

We’ve let our gutters stay broken for several years now because we just can’t afford to get them fixed. We had to have an emergency repair to our heat pump yesterday and that’s going to be hundreds of dollars out of pocket. We’re on a single income. My wife gets paid well (not $150,000 a year well) and our mortgage is low, but we’re barely making it.

Hey, re your teeth, if you can afford this, and it hasn’t changed since then, my dad had to get something like $25,000 in dental work, so they took a trip to Costa Rica, spent about $3000 on the trip, and got the dental work for free. It sucks that people have to resort to things like that, but if you think you could afford that, I would definitely recommend looking into it.

I’m guessing he takes it in vastly more quantities than you and also that it would affect someone who is already an asshole narcissist a different way than it would someone like yourself.
