And the Black kid who was shot in Kansas City for something similar around that same time by that grumpy old racist fuck.

The victim had just moved to the US to live here with his siblings from the apparently safer, non-shithole West African country of Guinea-Bissau, where people don't go around shooting strangers looking for help in the back. https://abc7ny.com/post/doordash-worker-shooting-family-delivery-shot-outside-chester-ny-town-officials-home-thought-life-was/16341137/

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
bolverk replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
I seem to recall a whole lot of "small government" around here bitching about civilian students protesting on campus while wearing masks and cheering for their skulls to get cracked open. Hell, they even complained when students wore them while NOT protesting. And yet those same motherfuckers don't seem to have even the slightest problem with armed and masked men doing gestapo shit like arresting a gotdam elected official trying to enforce the law in his jurisdiction. Where are those fashy fuckers at? And why didn't our mods excoriate those posters for cheering on violence against peaceful protestors exercising their First Amendment rights?- 1189 replies

Things not going well in the world: India-Pakistan edition

I believe the bolded is incorrect. They did bidness with the Soviets and had good relations with them, but I don't think they were ever "aligned" with the USSR. I'm pretty sure they were one of the leaders of the non-aligned (Third World) nations during the Cold War. -

Yeah, the autofill or predictive text on iPhones is absolute garbage compared to Android phones. Also, they make it almost impossible to go back and correct an inadvertent letter from a fat-thumbed typo, forcing you to delete the entire word rather than just fixing a small mistake within the word. -

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
bolverk replied to Captainant's topic in Daily Texan
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/us/politics/trump-libya-migrants.html?smid=url-share The Trump administration is planning to transport a group of immigrants to Libya on a U.S. military plane, according to U.S. officials, another sharp escalation in a deportation program that has sparked widespread legal challenges and intense political debate. The nationalities of the migrants were not immediately clear, but a flight to Libya carrying the deportees could leave as soon as Wednesday, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the operation. The decision to send deportees to Libya was striking. The country is racked with conflict, and human rights groups have called conditions in its network of migrant detention centers “horrific” and “deplorable.” The Libya operation falls in line with the Trump administration’s effort to not only deter migrants from trying to enter the country illegally but also to send a strong message to those in the country illegally that they can be deported to countries where they could face brutal conditions. Reuters earlier reported the possibility of a U.S. deportation flight to Libya. The planning for the flight to Libya has been tightly held, and could still be derailed by logistical, legal or diplomatic obstacles. The White House declined to comment. The State Department and Defense Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The potential use of Libya as a destination comes after the administration set off an earlier furor by deporting a group of Venezuelans to El Salvador, where they are being held in a maximum-security prison designed for terrorists. President Trump and his aides labeled those men violent gang members and cited a rarely used wartime law in their expulsions, a move that has been challenged in the courts. The State Department warns against traveling to Libya “due to crime, terrorism, unexploded land mines, civil unrest, kidnapping and armed conflict.” The country remains divided after years of civil war following the 2011 overthrow of its longtime dictator, Muammar Gaddafi. A United Nations-recognized government in Tripoli rules western Libya, and another in Benghazi, led by the warlord Khalifa Haftar, controls the east. The United States has formal relations only with the Tripoli government. But Mr. Haftar’s son, Saddam, was in Washington last week, and met with several Trump administration officials. Mr. Trump had friendly dealings in his first term with Mr. Haftar, who controls most of Libya’s lucrative oil fields. A major transit point for Europe-bound migrants, Libya operates numerous detention facilities for refugees and migrants. Amnesty International branded those sites “horrific” and “a hellscape” in a 2021 report, which found evidence of “sexual violence, against men, women and children.” The Global Detention Project says detained migrants in Libya endure “physical mistreatment and torture,” forced labor and even slavery. In its annual report on human rights practices last year, the State Department cited “harsh and life-threatening” conditions in Libya’s detention centers and found that migrants in those facilities, including children, had “no access to immigration courts or due process.” Human rights groups say that European governments have been complicit in such treatment by working with Libya to intercept migrants bound for the continent and send them to the detention centers. “I have been in those migrant prisons and it’s no place for migrants,” said Frederic Wehrey, a Libya expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “It’s just a horrific place to dump any vulnerable person.” Earlier this year, the Trump administration deported several hundred people to Panama from countries in the Eastern Hemisphere, including Iran and China. The migrants, who said they did not know where they were going, were detained in a hotel for several days before being taken to a camp near the jungle. Some of the migrants were later released from Panamanian custody. Around the same time, U.S. officials also deported a group of around 200 migrants to Costa Rica from countries in the Eastern Hemisphere, including Iran. A lawsuit filed against the country argued that the deportations and subsequent detention in Costa Rica “could cause irreparable harm” for a group of children sent to the country. After the United States struck a deal with El Salvador to take Venezuelan migrants and imprison them, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he was working to secure similar agreements with additional nations. “I intend to continue to try and identify other countries willing to accept and jail as many gang members as we can send them,” Mr. Rubio told The New York Times. The planned use of a military plane for the flight to Libya comes after the Defense Department has assisted in transporting migrants to locations such as India, Guatemala and Ecuador. In late March, Defense Department officials flew a group of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador without any staff from the Department of Homeland Security on the plane, according to court records. The flight took off from Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to El Salvador and included four Venezuelans. A government filing indicated that the Department of Homeland Security did not “direct” the plane to take off for El Salvador. -

Great episode of On Point from Friday, covering the history and context of birthright citizenship and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." It's a 45-minute-long interview/conversation with Heather Cox Richardson (full transcript is found in the link below as well). I'd say anyone who doubts the intent of the 14th Amendment as we've commonly interpreted (until recently) absolutely should find the time to listen. The historical context that she outlines is unambiguous and affirms that, yes, we have indeed been correct that the way we view it today is EXACTLY how it was intended, as written, in the 1860s. https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2025/05/02/birthright-citizenship-trump-history-heather-cox-richardson

Sounds like the toxicity of the "Made in the USA" brand is spreading from Canada to Europe now, too. Buy American? No Thanks, Europe Says, as Tariff Backlash Grows. A shifting perception of the United States amid President Trump’s trade war is prompting Europeans to pivot decisively away from U.S. goods and services. For motorcycle lovers in Sweden, Harley-Davidson is the hottest brand on the road. Jack Daniel’s whiskey beckons from the bar at British pubs. In France, Levi’s jeans are all about chic. But in the tumult of President Trump’s trade war with Europe, many European consumers are starting to avoid U.S. products and services in what appears to be a decisive and potentially long-term shift away from buying American, according to a new assessment by the European Central Bank. In April, Mr. Trump imposed a 10 percent blanket tariff on America’s trading partners, and threatened “reciprocal tariffs” on many of those, including the European Union. Companies like Tesla and McDonald’s are seeing customers in Europe put off by “Made in America.” “The newly imposed U.S. trade tariffs on European products are causing European consumers to think twice about what’s in their shopping cart,” the European Central Bank wrote in a blog post about its research on consumer behavior. “Consumers are very willing to actively move away from U.S. products and services.” Europeans had already begun testing grass-roots boycotts on American products, including Heinz ketchup and Lay’s potato chips, shortly after Mr. Trump took office. His threats to take over Greenland, part of Denmark, energized Danes to organize no-buy campaigns on Facebook. Tesla owners in Sweden slapped “shame” bumper stickers on their cars to distance themselves from Elon Musk, the Tesla chief executive, who is one of Mr. Trump’s top advisers. But Europeans’ anguish over Mr. Trump’s treatment of America’s longtime allies has hardened as he has moved to rewire world trade with steep global tariffs, the central bank found. Mr. Trump took particular aim at the European Union, which he called “very, very bad to us” for not buying more from the United States, and threatened the bloc with a 20 percent “reciprocal” tariff last month. Such talk bewildered many Europeans and rattled E.U. leaders, who retaliated with a 25 percent duty on many U.S. goods. Both sides called a temporary truce after Mr. Trump abruptly reversed course and delayed tariffs until the summer. But the 10 percent base-line tariff is still in place, and a trans-Atlantic trade war could easily flare again. And even if a trade deal is reached, Europe’s newfound wariness of its longtime ally will not easily be unwound. The European Central Bank’s study found that even if a mere 5 percent tax was placed on American products sold in Europe, Europeans would be inclined to shun them. What is new, the central bank said, is a “preference” among European consumers “to move away from U.S. products and brands altogether,” no matter what the cost. That was the case even for households that could bear the brunt of higher prices. “Even though they could afford more expensive U.S. products and services, they consciously choose alternatives,” the bank said. “This suggests that consumers’ reactions may not just be a temporary response to tariff increases, but instead signal a possible long-term structural shift in consumer preferences away from U.S. products and brands.” In Germany and Italy, developers have created apps that scan grocery and clothing items for people who want to make sure they are not buying American. The top app, BrandSnap, even suggests European alternatives. On a French-run “Boycott USA!” Facebook channel with 31,000 members, people boast about buying Adidas, a German brand, over Nike and New Balance, and post stories about avoiding travel to the United States. In a Danish Facebook group with 95,000 members, people try to help one another figure out if products like Gillette Mach 3 razor blades or Schweppes soda are from the United States. One run from Sweden promotes alternatives to Airbnb and is calling for a European boycott on Meta platforms for a week in May. Europeans have also posted online to say they have begun canceling subscriptions to U.S. streaming giants, including Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video. Some consumers who have boycotted Amazon have gone online to lament that delivery from alternate e-commerce platforms in their countries is slower or less reliable, but say they are staying the course. Millions of people still buy American goods and services worldwide, but U.S. companies and investors are keeping a close eye on international markets for signs of anti-American sentiment related to Mr. Trump’s policies. In Europe, Tesla sales continued a sharp decline in April, data showed, including an 81 percent plunge in Sweden from a year earlier, as protests against Mr. Musk’s political views held steady. And McDonald’s said it was observing growing negative attitudes abroad toward U.S. brands, especially in Northern Europe and Canada. International consumers are “going to be cutting back their purchase of American brands, and we’ve seen an uptick in anti-American sentiment,” the burger chain’s chief executive, Chris Kempczinski, said in a call with analysts last week. The McDonald’s brand does not seem to have been damaged yet — same-store sales in Canada and Europe were down only 1 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier. But there is an “eight- to a 10-point increase in anti-American sentiment,” he said.
