politics @lemmy.world•Trump says Xi assured him China won’t take action on Taiwan while he’s in the White House
131·10 months agoAs the PRC hasn’t invaded Taiwan in over 75 years, I suppose it won’t do so in the next 3 years.
I don’t like him.

91·1 year agoNo! No!
I want him to run in the 2028, 2032, 2036, and 2040 GOP primaries!

18·1 year agoThe new reservists will serve for about 120 hours a year, according to the Wall Street Journal, and will have a lot of flexibility to work remotely.
The comments on that page are also good.

politics @lemmy.world•What the 3.5% Rule Tells Us About Protest Success
1·1 year agoFWIW, the rightists seem to have picked up on a similar number:
The group’s name derives from the erroneous[6][7] claim that “the active forces in the field against the King’s tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists” during the American Revolution.[8]

politics @lemmy.world•What the 3.5% Rule Tells Us About Protest Success
192·1 year agoThe authors coined a rule about the level of participation necessary for a movement to succeed, called the “3.5% rule”: nearly every movement with active participation from at least 3.5% of the population succeeded.[8][9] All of the campaigns that achieved that threshold were nonviolent.[10]

politics @lemmy.world•Troops in LA can detain individuals, military official says, as protests spread across US
11·1 year agoCould some protesters (at least, theoretically) tackle down a Marine, and put him under citizen’s arrest, insisting that the Chief of the LA (or Compton) police, Sheriff of LA, and Newsom enforce California state law?
(Indeed, could this apply to the NG, ICE, or whatever other goons Trump has sic-ed on LA? and other places?)

38·1 year agoAre US soldiers allowed to refused to obey unlawful orders, and if they enforce such, can they be sued and/or charged criminally in civilian courts?

politics @lemmy.world•Trump formally asks Congress to claw back approved spending targeted by DOGE
191·1 year agoThe request to Congress is unlikely to meaningfully change the troublesome increase in the U.S. national debt. Tax revenues have been insufficient to cover the growing costs of Social Security, Medicare and other programs. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the government is on track to spend roughly $7 trillion this year, with the rescission request equaling just 0.1% of that total.

politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr.’s fluoride ban would ruin 25 million kids’ teeth, cost $9.8 billion
1·1 year agowp:Water fluoridation by country#Europe
Out of a population of about three-quarters of a billion, under 14 million people (approximately 2%) in Europe receive artificially-fluoridated water. Those people are in the UK (5,797,000), Republic of Ireland (4,780,000), Spain (4,250,000), and Serbia (300,000).[27]
…
Many European countries have rejected water fluoridation, including: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland,[68] Scotland,[69] Iceland, and Italy.[70] A 2003 survey of over 500 Europeans from 16 countries concluded that “the vast majority of people opposed water fluoridation”.[71]

4·1 year agoThe important thing is that he gets rewarded for supporting Trump: issues such as the health of Americans are at best secondary to this.

It’d probably be like Vietnam, only harder.
