Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak and just would not shut the fuck up and leave
Another reason why I'm partial to the story I heard

political news sorta, House passed an actual law about voter ID (probably 50-50 whether the senate passes it)
and the new oposition to it is no longer about blacks or illegal Mexicans
it's now about women
"women won't be able to figure out how to get an ID to vote"
it's not even true either, your maiden name REMAINS a legal alias for your entire life
same if you get a name change for any reason, debts and documents in your old name are still valid
it's just a bizzare random talking point they were all fed

The checks being cut to defend IP laws are CRAZY rn, even small YouTubers are getting thousands from the MPAA to "educate their audience about the importance of intellectual property"
the fear isn't even that the law *could* change, because it realistically can't
it's that as soon as it becomes mainstream to ignore, or Trump comments on it, it's all over for them
The El Salvador guy is smart, or at least comes across really well in interviews
idk if he's going to go full dictator or what, but he definitely understood the correct playbook for a small, otherwise irrelevant nation
also, the whole deportation thing is really funny, and it's not been reported correctly anywhere
The supreme court ruled 9-0 that Trump has to give the one guy they deported by accident "due process", and implied he'd have to be brought back to stand trial
so Trump just declared him a terrorist by putting him on a list, and thus due process states he can do whatever he wants to him
and so he stays in the Salvadorian rape dungeon
no, as far as I can tell, he's an illegal immigrant, who snitched on other gang members, to get the DoJ to give him an indefinite hold on deportation
that's Spooky conjecture, because the fact he was a non-citizen, given an indefinite deportation hold and is a confirmed gang member is weird

I feel like they should have just led with that
Support for deporting a snitch has got to be somwhere around 1,000%
No, I just mean
literally zero people like snitches
yes they're a necessary evil or w/e
same way that giving court immunity to rapists/murders to get them to testify against someone worse is unpopular, despite being a net good
what people want is for a snitch to snitch, and then for some vigilante to get them anyway
you're right that it shouldn't be the government renegging on its word though
I think I sort of get it though, leading with "we're fucking over a snitch" is probably bad optics, for their future ability to get people to snitch
and public opinion is w/e about it
because they can just say "fuck it" and let him stay there

To be less clickbaity and more accurate to what actually happened, the UK supreme court ruled that the rules for protections for women are based on biological sex, but specifically stated that transgender people are still protected under other rules that exist
yeah and like nothing prevents a trans woman from saying they are being discriminated for being a woman still even if it no longer matches the specific legal definition in this context. a semi nothingburger ruling. also just funny and unnecessary for the people to be frenzied to this degree over 0.1 percent of the population stil
idk why i keep bringing up canadian elections here but this grpahic i saw really describes how funny this flipping has been
