Political Memes@lemmy.world•Half of black men in the US will be arrested before they turn 23
163·1 year agoBy age 23, 49 percent of black males, 44 percent of Hispanic males and 38 percent of white males have been arrested.
Don’t worry, soon they’ll stop doing press briefings like they did in the first Trump term, which apparently everyone has forgotten about.
10 Democrats joined the Republicans to censure him:
- California Representative Ami Bera,
- Hawaii Representative Ed Case,
- California Representative Jim Costa,
- New York Representative Laura Gillen,
- Connecticut Representative Jim Himes,
- Pennsylvania Representative Chrissy Houlahan,
- Ohio Representative Marcy Kaptur,
- Florida Representative Jared Moskowitz,
- Washington Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, and
- New York Representative Tom Suozzi.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians as US steps up deportations
12·1 year agoCanada should take them in.
Have you tried an image search lately? It’s fucking terrible. It’s all AI generated crap. They need a filter to filter out any AI generated image.

politics @lemmy.world•First came the bots, then came the bosses - we’re entering Musk and Zuck’s new era of disinformation
612·2 years agoSeriously, all this crazyness with the US election has given me newfound sympathy for the people of Russia.
Americans literally have every respectable news source available to them, and they still get brainwashed by these buffoons because they only get their news from facebook, tiktok, fox news, and shit. They choose to be ignorant.
The Russian people at least have the excuse that they’re literally living under a dictator and are fed bullshit everywhere they look. They have to actively and at the risk of their security seek out valid sources for what’s actually happening.
Imagine if every news channel in the US was just Fox News. I guess we might not have to imagine it for much longer…

436·2 years agoNah, the loss is on stupid Americans. No matter her position on these issues, it should have been a landslide victory for anyone but Trump.

politics @lemmy.world•Texas tells U.S. Justice Department that federal election monitors aren’t allowed in polling places
106·2 years agoFor decades, the Justice Department has dispersed election monitors across the country to observe procedures in polling sites and at places where ballots are counted. That was a power granted to the federal government under the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices and sought to equalize voting access. After the U.S. Supreme Court gutted parts of the law years ago, the agency now must get permission from state and local jurisdictions to be present or get a court order.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•Real Christian voter values
25·2 years agoMary Magdalene was not a prostitute. That’s a common misconception.
The portrayal of Mary Magdalene as a prostitute began in 591, when Pope Gregory I identified Mary Magdalene, who was introduced in Luke 8:2, with Mary of Bethany (Luke 10:39) and the unnamed “sinful woman” who anointed Jesus’s feet in Luke 7:36–50.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Magdalene
But Jesus was most certainly very accepting of people from all walks of life. That was like his whole purpose. So the other comment about him rejecting people from the community is dead wrong. If anything, people reproached him because he was too accepting of the “sinners”.

politics @lemmy.world•RFK Jr. admits in bizarre video that he dumped a dead bear in New York’s Central Park
0·2 years agoHe said that, on the fateful day, he was far from Central Park — on his way to a “falconing” excursion in Goshen, N.Y. — when he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear. He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.
Wtf??
Hours passed, Kennedy said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people he was with — he said the others had been drinking — came up with a plan: abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.
Wtf… why? Is that what rich people do to pass the time? I could imagine a bunch of drunk college frat dudes doing this, but he was 60 years old when this happened!
