There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.

Yes it would be good politics to oppose the war that 80 percent of the country is against, but they just love war so much they can’t help it. When the midterms end up being far closer than anyone predicted look no further than this shit

Every Democrat running for office in the next three years needs to make putting the people responsible for this brutality behind bars a center piece of their campaign. No β€œlooking forward not backward” bs this time

The majority of America’s teachers β€” a whopping 71% β€” have at least one side job because they’re so underpaid.

Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion.

Priorities.

If basic standards of consent were applied to most AI systems they would all collapse. It’s just easiest to see it sometimes with this kind of ghoulish death tech

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

Add it to the list but if Democrats ever return to power every one of these end times freaks needs to be removed from govt service. Go run a church or whatever but no one who thinks like this should be in charge of waging war ffs!

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Love this thing pundits do where they pretend not to understand why students might protest Israel (a country that their school may actively be funding and therefore the protests are about trying to get their school to take action) and not Iran (a country that their school has nothing to do with).

Lol the first graph in the wiki you linked proves my initial point, no? Harris was polling in the lead, a pretty big one for a minute, then frittered it away

I’m old enough to remember when Kamala Harris had a lead in the polls too… and then she kept doing dumb stuff that people on here didn’t like. But I’m sure the Dems know what they’re doing now, given it’s the… exact same people running the party

By Tesla's own math, it reveals that its robotaxis are 4x worse at driving than humans, with redactions hiding even more details | Fortune By NHTSA standards, the Tesla Robotaxis are 8x worse than human drivers.

But we were assured* that robo cars were so much safer!!

*by people who would profit from the implementation of robo cars

In my younger days I thought pro-war Dems were just spineless capitulators but over time I learned they really just love war. Even now, when Trump is wildly unpopular & this war is wildly unpopular, they just can’t quit loving war.

How long until we start hearing that holding midterm elections would be playing right into the Iranians hands?

The War on Terror Paved the Way for Trump's Riseβ€”Now He's Making It His Own Only the total abolition of the DHS can restore freedom.

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

I feel much safer now that the supreme leader of Iran is dead, don’t you?
