Remember when all the billionaires were pledging to fund the Notre Dame's reconstruction, then didn't?

Nobody even mentioned trans people. Do you just go around spouting transphobia at random people?

there apparently are some groups that Harris and the Dems failed on

That's every group except for republicans, who voted Trump anyway.

While furries aren't a marginalized group, 99% of furry hate is a proxy for queerphobia and ableism, the criticisms are almost 1:1 with the shit those same people say about queer and autistic folk.

So you cannot win them over with policy and nuances.

There's no room for nuance, but you absolutely can win them over with policy, it just has to be policy that helps them get through the day. Everyone experiences the stress of not knowing how much your healthcare will cost, and getting hit with a massive bill anyway. "Free healthcare" instead of complicated subsidies for insurance that nobody really understands.

Progressive policy tend to win even in states where the dems ate shit..

I don't see why any level would go "Oh furries are going to love this, and we can't have that" and change the design.

Thanks for catching the typo.

Maybe in the UK where each plant is basically unique instead of having improvements from all the previous iterations. In the US it's around 93%. I don't know how to search China or France's numbers, but I suspect they're similar or better.

They were saying they were going to annex the west bank before the election, they are saying they are going to annex the west bank now. There is no difference.

FEMA camps (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml to c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
 

Back during the Bush and Obama years, I remember hearing so many right-wing conspiracies about FEMA camps.

Why didn't anyone ask "If FEMA has the ability to set up camps and transport large numbers of people, why aren't they doing that every time there's a big hurricane or wildfire?"

 

Looks like it's having a measurable effect.

 

The bill in question is the one Biden tried to pass, but was blocked by republicans after Trump called it a bad bill, despite containing only things the republicans want.

It would enable the president to shut down the border and gives billions to ICE, CPB, US Marshals, etc to increase detention capacity, train additional personnel, etc. It also gave billions to Israel and Ukraine.

Kamala gonna have the immigrant vote locked up.

 

Among other changes to immigration law, the measure would make it more difficult to gain asylum in the United States and increase detentions and deportations of those crossing into the country without authorization. It would also effectively close the border altogether if the average number of migrants encountered by immigration officials exceeded a certain threshold — an average of 5,000 over the course of a week or 8,500 on any given day. The bill also would give the president power to close the border unilaterally if migrant encounters reach an average of 4,000 per day over a week.
