DEI hire just means people who weren’t white were working there. No need to parrot their spin.

Same. The 90s tried to kill me, the more time put between me and it the better.

I’m pretty sure it was because red stripes make it go faster.

A 45% cut is insane when they barely ran to begin with. So is $2.90 for less frequent service. This fucking sucks all around, both in the moment and for all the effects it’s going to have downstream.

Except you have no evidence any of that is happening here. You know he was a Cuban immigrant who has been here since he was 15 and made up the rest.

Why am I having to be in this thread explaining that collective guilt and blaming children for where they were born is deranged?

You can voluntarily renounce your citizenship at an embassy, if you weren’t aware of the option. I wouldn’t do it without citizenship somewhere else, because being stateless isn't great.

Congrats on getting out, either way!

Si no tuviera la ciudadanía, no podría haber votado.

If you only have a problem with it when it happens to the ‘wrong people’ then you have a lot in common with Trump voters 🤷‍♂️

And how tf is someone who was getting deported voting in presidential elections? Only citizens can do that.

Would that make it okay for ICE to abduct him without due process and kill him?

Keep in mind you’re talking about someone who came to the US as a 15 year old child.

It being Coeur d'Alene, my first thought is some flavor of white supremacist nuttery.

It can go moldy, though. Always check your weed with a UV light, especially if it’s not from a legal dispensary, you don’t wanna smoke mold.

Before her two biggest meals of the day, my cat will spend anywhere from 30 min to an hour being annoying about wanting food now. That’s at most 2 hours of the day, so proportionally a small amount. But lord do they know how to make you feel every minute of it, lol.

 

Building on the popularity of the seasonal $15 Summer Day Pass promotion, first introduced in 2022, Metrolink will now offer a year-round $15 weekday fare option, called the SoCal Day Pass, which provides unlimited rides on the day of purchase. On Saturdays and Sundays, the price of the SoCal Day Pass will drop to $10 to match the current weekend rate. Up to three kids ages 17 and under will continue to ride free with a fare-paying adult on weekends.

Metrolink is also introducing a new $5 L.A. Zone Day Pass, available seven days a week, that is good for unlimited single-day travel between eight select stations in and around Downtown Los Angeles, including LA Union Station, Cal State LA, Commerce, Montebello/Commerce, Glendale, Burbank-Downtown and both stations serving the Hollywood Burbank Airport.

I hope these new fares stick, I’m definitely going to be taking advantage and going some places I haven’t been before because the train ticket price felt too much for what was essentially a whim.

 

When we got to the top of the cemetery, we stopped there and they took off their vests because that's where they have the camera," he said. "Then they pulled me out of the car and kicked me."

Reyes says that after repeatedly asking them to check his wallet, one of the officers finally did so. They realized he did, in fact, have his green card, but questioned whether it was real.

"'I don't know, maybe it's fake' … The other guy says, 'No, it's real' … That's when they finally stopped," he said. "They were planning to keep hitting me because they didn't have good intentions. They took me to a cemetery."

Even so, the threats continued.

"Do you think you're a big shot just because you have a green card? I'll make sure they revoke that green card of yours," Reyes said, recalling what agents told him. "'I'm going to do everything I can to get this paper revoked,' an immigration officer told me."
