Showdown between the Feds and LA coming soon. I always thought schools would be a weak point for undocumented population.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gx7rd4nj7o

Los Angeles, the second largest US city, is setting itself up for a standoff with President-elect Donald Trump over immigration.

On Tuesday, its city council is poised to pass a "sanctuary city" ordinance to bar using local resources to help federal immigration authorities.

LA's public school system is also set to declare itself a "sanctuary" for undocumented immigrants and LGBTQ students in a series of emergency resolutions.

Trump, who will be sworn in in two months, has promised mass deportations once he returns to the White House. His chosen "border czar", Tim Homan, has urged sanctuary cities to "get the hell out of the way" of federal immigration crackdowns.

 

The term "sanctuary city" has been popular in the US for more than a decade to describe places that limit their assistance to federal immigration authorities. Since it is not a legal term, cities have taken a variety of approaches to becoming "sanctuaries", such as setting policies in laws or simply changing local policing practices.

I wanted to comment on that about working class, but also lost track of that thread. I think the definition of working class is anyone who has to work to pay bills and put food on the table. You don’t have access to some trust that allows you to maintain a comfortable lifestyle without working. In other words, under my definition, just about everyone here is working class. Elites have fooled the middle class into believing they aren’t working class

Working class should be called "wage earners" - people who get most of their money from income, not investments or old wealth

Agree with ya.

Hey, dumb fuck - perhaps there's a reason people don't want to be in your town square?

 I wonder if they will repackage Jan 6 as a national holiday of some sort, like Hitler did with the shrine he had built to his Brownshirts who died during his Beer Hall putsch? Every year, on Jan 6, Trump can lay a wreath on a memorial to Ashley Babbit.

This is a complete misunderstanding of the AT protocol is and how BlueSky works. The idea is that you can take your entire identity, posting history, etc etc, and bring it with you to a new platform - while still communicating and interacting with everyone that you used to. A better way to think about it is that rather than using a locked in platform like AOL instant messenger (Twitter or Threads), this is an open protocol like email.

The whole idea is that platforms don't have to host people, and that they aren't locked out of the conversation if they're off a platform. But in setting things up like this, Bluesky is incentivized to build a product that will keep users coming back to their platform, rather than a competitor or self-hosting. If you don't like BlueSky's moderation or algorithm, then you can simply roll your own and use that.

 

Ed Zitron's "Better Offline" had a great episode that got a bit more into that ethos and idea.

Why not? Down by the Jefferson Memorial.

How many of y'all would like to wager on Rand coming around, seeing the light, and kneeling for the sacrament of orange knob gobbling at the Church of MAGA on that point?  Easy money, man.  Easy money.

A lot of people who fucked around and voted Trump are gonna be shocked during the find out phase here

It’s truly amazing how many people voted against their own interests. My next door neighbors are Trumpers (and otherwise decent people). Their 10 year old has a  preexisting condition (MD) and an Individual Education Plans

Meanwhile I have two healthy kids who don’t need an IEP 

How am I voting to give your kid health insurance and extra help in school while you’re voting to take that away from your own kid?!? Make it make sense.

(They don’t actually know what they’re voting for is the only way it makes sense to me)

 

I think you got it.

Bingo.

See the post-election numbers on Trump's support among people who do not get information from actual news sources (instead, they watch TikTok videos and shit).  The vote was largely for vibes and feels.  I'm mad and frustrated, and Trump voices my anger and frustration, and promises to DO SOMETHING about it.  What he'll do doesn't much matter.   He just sounds like a dude of action.  There you have it.  Analysis completed.

Undocumented workers are  3.6% of the US population. The mass deportation that a majority of Americans voted for will disproportionately impact construction, agriculture and hospitality industries. Mass deportation will remove 30% of workers in major construction trades and 28% of graters and sorters who keep agricultural businesses afloat. A quarter of domestic household workers will be sent packing. Among the millions of undocumented workers who will be deported are one million entrepreneurs who pump an estimated 27 billion back into the US economy. Mass deportation will deprive local, state and federal governments of 46 billion in federal tax dollars that would no longer be paid, and another 29 billion in state and local taxes. When Trump deports with “shock and awe” as promised, the result will be a 4.2% decline in US GDP, which is only slightly better than the 4.6% decline we experienced in the Great Recession.
 

Again, I want to see the look on the faces of those holding up Deport Now signs when Iceberg lettuce at Kroger is $12 a head.

Luckily for them they have about 10 pounds of lettuce seed in their prepper vault. Now they just have to plant it right? Lettuce tomorrow.

Chuckle. They may sniff around an Iceberg lettuce only because it’s the least nutritious. They’re suspicious of the other woke lettuces.

No way. An iceberg is what sank the Titanic—at least that’s what they want you to believe.
