Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•ICE officer kills suspect who drove at officers in Chicago suburbEnglish17·6 days agoYeah, he was probably reaching through a window or grabbed on because he just couldn’t stomach the thought of an ‘illegal’ getting away.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Ex-FBI official says agency is 'back to square one' in manhunt for Charlie Kirk's killerEnglish13·7 days agoWe just need to keep on 'em and they’ll keep bumping off right-wing grifters. It’s win-win.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Ex-FBI official says agency is 'back to square one' in manhunt for Charlie Kirk's killerEnglish9·7 days agoHe also showed a little bit of rebellion on Epstein before snapping quickly back into approved messaging.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Ex-FBI official says agency is 'back to square one' in manhunt for Charlie Kirk's killerEnglish2·7 days agoGotta level up before taking on the bigger bosses.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Ex-FBI official says agency is 'back to square one' in manhunt for Charlie Kirk's killerEnglish7·7 days agoYeah, there’s a rotating cast of grifters that are making the world worse but aren’t really individually important in the larger fascist project. And political shootings are almost entirely from the right. The last political shooting from the left I can think of is the congressional baseball shooting nearly a decade ago.
Yeah, the slow grind of the system wasn’t an accident. They were all doing a pretty good job of oppression while keeping the people pliant and passive.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Ex-FBI official says agency is 'back to square one' in manhunt for Charlie Kirk's killerEnglish96·7 days agoI dunno, for all the alt-right frothing, Charlie Kirk doesn’t seem like someone anyone will think about even a month from now, let alone set up a pin board for.
He deserved what he got, but if I was making a list of worthy targets I’d probably forget to add him.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle software, overtakes Elon Musk as world’s richest personEnglish26·8 days agoEllison’s wealth has surged after [Oracle], in which he owns a stake of 41%, reported better than expected financial results.
This is the most surprising information in this article. Oracle isn’t a company I’d expect a price surge at. They provide some commonly used software, but nothing that would have a sudden surge in value, and I’m someone who’s looked at cloud resources before, and they weren’t even in my list of places to check. A crowded market with limited potential for innovation just doesn’t seem like something that justifies a huge price surge.
Feels like the stock market isn’t a real place.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•New Banksy mural appears at Royal Courts of JusticeEnglish3·9 days agoAnd they got into power because everyone was going “oh shit, we don’t want another Trump”, then just run full steam ahead into issues that will piss off their base. Someone who hasn’t been kept up to date could be excused for thinking the party restricted trans people and arresting peace protesters en masse was the more conservative party.

Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•New Banksy mural appears at Royal Courts of JusticeEnglish5·10 days agoI wonder if it’s a one-off statement or they have plans for a response. Being on a government building kind of prompts this result, which may be part of the intention.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•New Banksy mural appears at Royal Courts of JusticeEnglish9·10 days agoAnd they’re not even ruled by the conservative parties. This is the good outcome!

Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Hundreds of struggling Arkansas farmers ask federal government to save themEnglish28·13 days agoPeople act like these guys are going to get left out in the cold. In Trump’s first term when his trade war with China fucked over the soybean farmers the government bailed them out.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Even the NRA is against Trump team plan to ban trans people from owning firearmsEnglish1·13 days agoWill not support is not the same thing as oppose. They also eventually issued a statement disapproving of the killing of Philando Castile, but they didn’t do much else.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Trump to sign executive order rebranding Defense Department as the Department of WarEnglish7·13 days agoHe’s trying to rename it for spectacle and looking tough, but it might actually make it harder for them to keep continually increasing the “war” budget.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Appeals court panel stops order to wind down operations at 'Alligator Alcatraz' in EvergladesEnglish4·13 days agoThere’s a reason the judiciary is populated by people rather than computer programs, and it’s because humans are able to cut through the bullshit of a facility being built with state funds for the exclusive use of the federal government with an expectation of reimbursement. Just as many judges have rules the reverse as these two MAGA hacks. Playing shell games isn’t a cheat code.
And just because other judges sometimes rule against their patrons doesn’t mean those that don’t are just doing what the law tells them.
Zaktor@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Appeals court panel stops order to wind down operations at 'Alligator Alcatraz' in EvergladesEnglish27·14 days agoThe article author is bad at his job as there’s no mention of the judges that made up this panel. Pretending that the judiciary is just a monolith and the judges identities don’t matter is not a serious worldview for someone who’s supposed to be digging deeper and informing his readers.
And surprise surprise, here’s the identities of the judges (from ABC News):
Judges Elizabeth Branch and Barbara Lagoa – both appointees of President Donald Trump – determined that Florida, not the Trump administration, ran Alligator Alcatraz and therefore could not be challenged in federal court using NEPA.
American MAGAs also don’t really want American greatness if it involves immigrants, minorities, or liberals having a good life there. Their love of America and goals for its greatness are VERY selective, all the way to founding values like freedom of speech, separation of powers, and separation of church and state.
It’s really just fascism. And fascism, for all its claims to be country-first, is an international reactionary effort.
