I'm not one of those constitution obsessives who thinks its a flawless document or whatever- it's certainly deeply flawed, but I think in this case that's almost irrelevant. Any constitution will fail if the entire government collectively decides to ignore it.

They're simply incapable of understanding that people actually care what their platform is

I think they're kinda just hiring whoever is willing to rip screaming children out of the arms of their parents tbh

You're totally misunderstanding what I'm saying, I'm not trying to excuse anything. In fact my point is that this situation is fucked and shouldn't be happening, because the military isn't supposed to be used for law enforcement work. Yes, these are illegal orders and they should know better.

So if they look like a bunch of incompetent goons, they could very well be military, because the military is incompetent when it comes to law enforcement duties. That's not supposed to be their job.

Soldiers aren't trained to know what civil rights people have, correct procedures and the legality of detention and arrest, when/where they're allowed to enter, when it's legal to use force, etc. They're trained how to kill people and conduct military operatons.

I didn't say they weren't, I said they aren't trained for the kind of shit ICE is doing.

The military doesn't train people to act as domestic Gestapo

It's just completely spineless, all of it. From the Utah chapter refusing to acknowledge what happened and framing an innocent man, to the national org going along with their narrative while also simultaneously renouncing any association with them. Keep protesting, fuck 50501.

Biden did the bad war, but also the war is good and Trump also good

What a tragedy. So who was the shooter?

As an arbitrary declaration you can call people whatever you want, but at that point you're trying to bend terminology to fit your reductive perspective, rather than expanding your perspective to fit reality.

Because without agreed-upon and commonly used definitions of things, all discourse about it becomes meaningless and fraught with misunderstanding. In any case, no matter how you define "biological sex," someone is going to be an exception.

Call it whatever you want, the fact remains that it falls outside the typical definitions of male and female, to the point that it often becomes a purely arbitrary declaration to try to classify them as one or the other.

Only if you arbitrarily declare them to be while making massive exceptions to the typical ways the sexes are differentiated.
Not sure why you'd even say this tbh. The whole reason the term "intersex" exists is to describe people who don't neatly fall into one of those 2 categories.

Fucking unbelievable that she has the audacity to say anything at all right now other than "omg I'm so sorry, we're going to completely reform our police department"

It's certainly better than being exposed mostly to disgusting Nazi freaks and being unable to meaningfully block them, yep that's for sure.

This is one of my very first experiences commenting on anything on this site. Did not expect all this commotion over what I thought was a pretty silly and hard-to-misinterpret joke. What a unique place!

These are complicated times. I'm not sure what's a bigger problem- active duty troops being used to round up all opposition to the regime, or my niece getting a weird lesbian haircut.

JFC can you stop posting this on every fucking comment? We get it, you're a shill for Israel and you're not doing your job very well right now because that shit is just annoying.

I have the attention span of a golden retriever these days and even I am constantly baffled and enraged by it. I can't imagine what it's like for someone who still has a functioning brain.

Or y'know, we could just let it do its thing...
