n1ckn4m3to Ask Lemmy•What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?English2·22 days agoStranger Things. Gave up after the first season. It just felt like the show was trying too hard to feel like something nostalgic from the 80s without any of the substance or writing the things from the 80s it was trying to mimic had.
n1ckn4m3to News•Trump Says US Cannot Give Every Person It Wants to Deport a TrialEnglish41·22 days agoRecords don’t mean shit when the ruling party is actively destroying records of things they don’t like. History is written by the victors, and it’s happening in real-time right now.
n1ckn4m3to News•Why Elon Musk installed his top lieutenants at a federal agency you probably haven't heard ofEnglish5·27 days agoEven if he did, Trump would just pardon him
n1ckn4m3to News•American doctor receives email from immigration officials telling her to leave the country immediatelyEnglish30·27 days agoThis is just the ammunition they’ll use when they put a bag over her head and send her to El Salvador.
“We told her she had 7 days to deport. She’s an immigrant with no due process. She didn’t listen. She’s now in CECOT. No, we can’t and/or won’t get her back, even if we’re ordered to do so.”
It’s blatant at this point.
n1ckn4m3to News•Kilmar Ábrego García: Deported Salvadoran will never live back in US, says White HouseEnglish26·27 days agoFrom Fox News, because it’s patently bullshit. Garcia was never proven to be a gang member and the only connection was coerced testimony from a confidential informant who was facing deportation if they didn’t act as an informant, who gave the information to a detective who has since been fired from his position for multiple abuses of power and for lying under oath. Garcia was arrested for being brown outside of a home depot, not for any actual crime.
Every single attempt that has been made to force the US DOJ to produce proof of his gang membership has been denied, because it’s all a lie. FugginJerk just drank the kool-aid while telling other people not to drink the kool-aid.
But even that is beside the point – even if it wasn’t bullshit, he’s still owed due process as part of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
n1ckn4m3to politics •Nick Frost disables comments on Harry Potter post after backlash to HBO castingEnglish9·28 days agoNo, not that he’s not in support of LGBTQ, but that he hasn’t been outspoken in his distaste for Rowling’s support of anti-LGBTQ policy and rhetoric, like the 3 main actors in the HP movies were.
n1ckn4m3to politics •Nick Frost disables comments on Harry Potter post after backlash to HBO castingEnglish271·28 days agoThey’re re-doing it because Rowling wants a new production with actors who aren’t vocally outspoken in support of LGBTQ+, she came out and said it explicitly. This further doubles down that anyone involved in this production is an absolute pelican of a human being and should be shamed.
n1ckn4m3to politics •Four Democrats Pass Bill Making It Harder for Married Women to VoteEnglish12·1 month agoVoting is a right, not a privilege. Adding $50 here and $30 there every time something happens removes the right and makes it something only people with money can do. Are you being intentionally dense here? If it cost $0 and took no time I could understand your point, but it takes both money and time. IDs aren’t free, passports aren’t either, updating birth certificates also isn’t free, and in many cases it has to be done in person with multiple forms of additional documentation which also takes time, effort and money to procure.
Last but not least, in its current form the people who will be impacted by it are two groups of people and one financial class of person, primarily – women and transgender who changed their name from their birth name, and people who don’t have the money to update their ID, get a passport, or pay to have their birth certificate updated. So, it’s not even effective at what it is trying to do, it’s only effective at making sure it’s harder for women, trans people who have changed their names, and poor people to vote. All three groups who historically tend to lean democrat with their votes – who would have guessed.
Rich white men will never have a problem, miraculously. If what you’re trying to say is you’re OK if it’s harder for women and trans people and poor people to vote, then just come out and say it, otherwise you need to realize that this voting bill does that and only that and re-think your position.
n1ckn4m3to No Stupid Questions•How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?English1·1 month agoExactly, there’s absolutely no way it grazed him at all with no skin damage, no cartilage damage, no scarring.
n1ckn4m3to No Stupid Questions•How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?English41·1 month agoNo one heals cartilage. Especially not a 78 year old dottering fool whose primary source of nutrition is McDonalds.

n1ckn4m3to News•Trump administration fires top US general and Navy chief in unprecedented purge of military leadershipEnglish341·3 months agoEvery single member of the military I’ve talked to, somehow, for some reason seems to support Trump. I’m fucking stunned by it, but it seems he has their support.
n1ckn4m3to politics •Trump signs new order to vastly expand presidential powersEnglish16·3 months agoThey don’t need to cancel the mid-terms, they already fired everyone at CISA who is responsible for securing state elections. The elections will absolutely happen and miraculously the republicans will win across the board with a higher vote percentage than they’ve ever won by before, and they’ll claim that this means the US population is 100% in support of the fascist policies of the GOP and accelerate the descent.

n1ckn4m3to politics •'A Complete Takeover': New Trump Order Entrenches Musk-Led 'Shadow Government'.English17·3 months agoConsidering that everyone at CISA responsible for securing state elections has been put on leave, I’m pretty sure there will never be another fair election in any shape in the USA.
n1ckn4m3to politics •AOC says Dems need to play hardball if they help Republicans keep the government openEnglish41·3 months agoThere’s a subset of the Democratic party with balls? I’ve been voting for them for over 20 years and I haven’t seen it yet :(
It’s sad but they’ve been like this since the get-go. They sued Galoob for the Game Genie (and lost), and they sued Blockbuster for copying manuals so that people could have the manual to review when they rented games (and won). Nintendo has always been excruciatingly aggressive about protecting and policing their copyrights and IP, even when they’re dead wrong.
This is not an attempt to justify what they’re doing, just to point out that it’s unfortunately nothing new.
