Ah, that helps. I was wondering if that was the case.

Thanks. I’ll have to try that.

So, when your account is banned on Reddit, does that remove all your posts? Because that would be cool. I left Reddit back in mid 2023 and came to Lemmy. I tried to delete all my old posts there, but they wouldn’t let me. I tried editing them and they reverted back to their original form. When I deleted them, they appeared to be deleted while I was logged in, but if I logged into another account the posts were still there. If getting a ban will get them deleted finally, then that would be well worth paying that cesspool a visit for a while.

Don’t forget the vitamin A. That’s the new wonder drug for the MAGA crowd. RFK is telling them that it will cure measles.

“And they just got out of the car with the guns in their hands and say, turn off the car, give me the keys, open the window, you know,” Machado said. “Everything was really fast.”

Machado said the officers told him the name of a man for whom they said they had a deportation order, and who had purportedly given Machado’s home address. He said he offered to show his Virginia driver’s license—a Real ID requiring proof of lawful status to acquire—but “they didn’t ask for any ID.”

“I was telling the officer, if I can give him ID, but he said just keep my hands up, not moving,” Machado told Quiñonez. “After that, he told me to get out of the car and put the handcuffs on me. And then he went to me and said how did I get into this country and if I was waiting for a court date or if I have any case. And I told him I was an American citizen, and he looked at his other partner like, you know, smiling, like saying, can you believe this guy? Because he asked the other guy, ‘Do you believe him?’”

Congratulations, sir. You have successfully avoided being beaten or shot by ICE officers because you kept calm and followed instructions. Now let your mind wander to how the scenario will play out when they pull over your teenage son or daughter. Will your child stay calm? Or will they be terrified and panic and do something that gives the officers the excuse they need to beat them bloody or even kill them?

You voted for hate. You got it.

Which is wild considering it’s HufPo.

Not so wild anymore. They just announced massive layoffs (22% of their newsroom) and the Editor-in-chief resigned saying that the company was “bowing to MAGA.”

Apparently Vivek Ramaswarmy is a minority shareholder and has been pushing the company right, from my point of view, while supposedly trying to “find a way toward a successful exit of his BuzzFeed investment”, whatever the fuck that means.

Link is to archive so as not to give New York Post any clicks.

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

Fuck 'em. My concern and pity are reserved for those who didn’t support the orange idiot.

That’s four of them. I rather think Carter was a good human being, regardless of whether or not you think he was a good president.

No shit. Now convince the democratic party leadership that winning elections is more important that kissing donor ass.

He’s dating Marjorie Taylor Greene. Humiliation is apparently his thing.
