Presumably they're going to release the body to the family at some point, and at that stage it'll become obvious whether the legs are broken or not broken. It would have to be a pretty shockingly brazen coverup for that part of the story to be true and covered up.

“Don’t worry,” I said. “It’s just because it’s new. The novelty will wear off. And if it doesn’t, we’ll get rid of it.”

I feel like this belongs in a horror movie

“I’m afraid I’m locking you in a cupboard,” I inform it after it asks if I’m ready for some fun. “Oh no,” it says. “That sounds dark and lonely. But I’ll be here when you open it, ready for snuggles and hugs.”

Also, spoiler for the article: The kid quickly got bored and moved on from the toy because the toy kind of sucks. She is ahead of some tech CEOs I could name.

Oh, wait, maybe I am wrong. I thought that was when it was set up, but now I found something else that says 1986. Basically there were a series of gradual adjustments during a time of pretty intense racism within the system, this was back in the time period when a jury looked at the Rodney King beating and said it looked fine to them.

There's also this:

One of the most extensive mass expulsion campaigns in US history, on the premise that Mexican migrants and US-born Mexican Americans were responsible for significant aspects of the nation’s economic miseries. By the late 1930s, 2 million people had been expelled to Mexico; 60% are estimated to have been US citizens.

The Immigration and Naturalization Service launched Operation Wetback, a paramilitary campaign to expel Mexican migrants. Over 1 million people were apprehended; many families were separated by deportation. Operation Wetback reduced unauthorized crossings; the government replaced those workers—because of employer demands—with legal guest workers through the Bracero Program.

And also:

A November 2019 report by the United States Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General found that "senior managers" involved in the hiring of Immigration Judges had used a system of "code words" to rate "the attractiveness" of female candidates.[32]

What the fuck

What the FUCK

I’m not seeing any mainstream media coverage.

If a white conservative student athlete in a deep-blue area of the country had been shot and killed yesterday for no really apparent reason, it would be the lead story on every single news that exists.

There have been rumors that both of the guy's legs were broken. IDK whether this is just the coroner's office clearing up wild social media speculation, or if they're so brazen about a coverup that they're willing to lie about the state of his body, but that's why they specifically talked about broken limbs.

Seriously. Biden raised tax rates on these megacorporations that run our society now, and used about a trillion dollars of the money he raised to take big action on climate change and manufacturing jobs. Because he was actually working on important boring issues, the news hated him and focused on all these weird sound-bite things and pointed out that he's old.

I'm not trying to give him a free pass on enabling Gaza or fucking up by failing to prosecute Trump when there was time for it, but the idea that he basically didn't do anything is entirely a function of our gross-negligence media. If Trump had opened one factory, we'd have heard about it for months.

I think a lot of it comes down to news and education. Every bit of media they consume assured them that Trump was a no-nonsense tough guy who would tackle head on some of the issues that were of genuine concern to them. There are billions of dollars that go into manipulating the landscape in all kinds of ways to make sure that is all they were presented with. And so, that's the basis they decided on. What else could they do?

Sure, you and me exist in a media landscape where that's a laughable joke, but I don't think you can necessarily blame them for not having lucked their way into the same places that we exist on. The white people, who were waving around signs saying "Mass Deportations Now" and then got all upset when it turned around on them, I think you can blame, but I think a lot of people of a lot of different ethnicities and backgrounds just got fooled by all the propaganda that is so polished and professional at this point.

I think the crisis of Trump is likely to be worse than any crisis in the Western world for the last 50 years. I think the closest analogue is probably the collapse of the USSR. So yes, some of the rich people upped their wealth by orders of magnitude, and honestly you might be right that Zuck might manage to be one of that category, but also some of them lost everything or got thrown out windows, or had to survive in reduced capacity within their new walled fortresses in the horrifying new meta. I feel like more likely is that the MAGA world will remember Facebook censoring their posts about ivermectin, and not feel like Zuck needs to have a seat at the table, no matter how many ass-kissing sessions he shows up at the White House to do.

For example I feel like breaking up Meta and mandating Truth Social and TikTok as the only new sanctioned social media going forward might be one possible outcome. It's kind of hard to say and I won't swear that you're definitely wrong that he might come out way ahead in the end. I'm just saying that this type of crisis is a very different type of crisis.

It was a specific politics community that was just made to talk about politics without UniversalMonk. This was back in the days when the !politics@lemmy.world moderators, with their unerring instinct for making the worst decision possible on any given issue, were insisting that UniversalMonk hadn't done anything wrong and his honored place in the community needed to be preserved and the whole community who held a different opinion about him just didn't understand the bigger picture like they did.
