Hey, laugh all you want. It’s a 24/7 job that would break even the strongest of men.
LemmyPlayto politics @lemmy.world•Cory Booker to visit El Salvador in effort to return wrongly deported man to US1·3 months agoI am very aware. I don’t think these are mutually exclusive strategies forward. So focusing on drastic reform in the Dems needs to happen alongside immediately resisting actions from the new admin. I wish it were another way, because inevitably your efforts are diluted. But time is of the essence in this situation, unfortunately.
LemmyPlayto politics @lemmy.world•Cory Booker to visit El Salvador in effort to return wrongly deported man to US2·3 months agoOf course I would prefer if the majority of our political representatives acted ethically. We wouldn’t be in this situation if that was the case. But the Republicans are compromised, effectively useless in this situation and too many dems are passive to a fault (though overall still doing a much better job at working towards progress). This is already against the rights of non-citizens per the Constitution. And a judge ordered them to bring him back and they defied the courts, so what laws would need to be passed to have any actual impact on this (which already occurred in the past anyway)?
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and pushing back against a tyrannical machine will require more than begging Republicans to find their morality and respect the rights of others. And if you don’t think this is important for the rest of the citizens back home, you’re missing the point. When one group’s rights are violated, all of our rights are at risk. I don’t need to be threatened directly to understand the gravity of the situation and support the efforts any representatives are taking to try to resolve this. Others will wait until it directly becomes a problem for them in their personal life, but that latency is one of the critical factors that brought us under the shadow of this new administration in the first place.
Yesterday we find out the senator met with him. Today we find out he’s released from CECOT. Even Fox news was pressuring the AG to admit that they had no proof of any criminal record. This is why I applaud the senator for directly intervening in this mess.

I never thought vegetables could have heavy metals like that. This is actually wild to learn, and it makes me think twice about buying it in the future.
LemmyPlayto politics @lemmy.world•Cory Booker to visit El Salvador in effort to return wrongly deported man to US5·3 months agoImagine 3 more senators do this, would that change things in your eyes? 5? 10? Etc. Even if unsuccessful it puts the pressure on those involved, making them look incompetent whether they ignore it or bend over backwards to justify it. It’s a smart way deal with unethical actors.
Look at the price of the NES when it launched. $180. Then you had games averaging about $40 in price, up to $60. Adjust for inflation, development expenses, and the fact that games offer many more hours of replay these days…it’s not priced that badly. Relative to Steam it will look high, but PC games change pricing to grab different customer groups that wouldn’t ever buy the game otherwise as a last-ditch attempt to find revenue.
