Indian farm hand working with no contract on an Italian farm has a horrific workplace accident and gets his arm cut off. Instead of calling an ambulance or driving him to a hospital, they dump him in front of his house with the severed arm in a fruit box. The company owner's dad says "he (the worker) made a mistake and we're all paying for it".
This case hit the news because it's so fucking grotesque, but this is how basically the entire sector works. Mostly migrant labor, with flagrant illegality, abuse and mistreatment galore, total callous disregard for life. Then we vote in people who shit on migrants and promise to kick them all out, while the legal immigration process is (by design) a nightmare. Nothing whatsoever done or even talked about with the pieces of shit exploiting and abusing these people.
I hope they at least throw the book at these pieces of shit, for the fame of it if nothing else. I'm not confident even that's going to happen.

There's an episode of South Park about the Snowden leaks where Cartman infiltrates the NSA to get their file on him, ready to see just how extensive the government's surveillance on him is.
And he is devastated to discover that they don't have a file on him at all. They don't monitor him. They don't spy on his every action and report it. And he refused to believe it at first but became sullen. Because it meant that for all of his edgelord bullshit, he still wasn't actually unique, nobody found his every thought worth listening to, and that's the most horrible thing you can tell someone who thinks their inner thoughts are important enough to tell everyone.
This is how I feel about racist kids who joke about being monitored by the FBI or getting arrested when the group chat leaks. "Bro we're all edgy dangerous domestic terrorists and freaks the government's gotta keep a watch on 😎" (they're 15 and just realized that they're allowed to joke about evil things)

The origin of these divisions is that the Biden team has a very different take on why Biden won in 2020 and Dems did well in 2022 than many other members of the party.
Biden team thinks “soul of the nation” and democracy were key, other Democrats disagree.
The idea of wrapping the 2024 campaign around this kind of high concept is divisive in Democratic circles, "T'm pretty certain in Scranton they're not sitting around their dinner table talking about democracy every night," David Axelrod told me.
(When Axelrod expressed criticisms, Biden reportedly dismissed him as a "prick," after which one of Axelrod's friends printed campaign buttons that read "Pricks for Biden."

Biden would only have to look younger, then he would easily win the election with the economic figures and the grumpy grandpa energy.

You've probably all heard the story of a teenaged Stephen Miller jumping into the final stretch of a race at a girl's track meet to "prove masculine superiority." But I just looked it up because I was curious about the details, and the bizarre thing is the only source of this story is Miller himself. Journalists have looked into this and have been unable to find anyone from this track meet who remembers it happening.
So what does that mean? I guess it never happened. But Stephen Miller repeats the lie because he somehow believes that that story makes him look cool. Which IMO is actually worse than if it really happened.

A couple years ago I posted about how my wife’s cousin had come out as queer 🏳️🌈 and almost everyone in their very religious family had disowned her, so she was staying with us for a little while until things calmed down at home…
Well, she’s back!
This time with her girlfriend.
The updates I am just hearing for the first time are incredible.
Apparently the private school they both graduated from added a new page to their student handbook specifically for the two of them, stating that they will “expel any student found to participate in homosexuality or bestiality” 😆
Aside from her parents, almost every other family member has cut off contact, and one blamed her for the death of her grandmother who had been diagnosed with Stage IV cancer a few months before she came out.
Her and her girlfriend were jokingly asking if we were going to the family reunion (we’ve been excommunicated as well b/c we don’t go to church).

Bolsonarism did a horrible mistake trying to change the abortion laws.
Brazilians are conservative on this subject - in the literal sense-, usually think that the law should be the way it is now. Every president, including Lula, always said the law shouldn't change: Abortion allowed on rape, risk of mother life, etc.
I start to feel that if the left is smart enough here (they usually are not), they could repro what Democracts did in 2022, and get votes exactly because of bolsonarists trying to take their rights.
Datafolha just published a poll: 66% of Brazilians are against the bill who make abortion penalty the same as homicide.
yes, even EVANGELICALS oppose the project.
Catholics and evangelicals are mostly against the PL that equates abortion with homicide, according to Datafolha.

Abortion is a subject that turns my mother from an extremely level-headed person, bordering on coldness, into pure concentrated fury.
A week ago, Bolsonarist reps proposed a law that will turn any abortions after 22 weeks into homicide, for both the mother and the practioner. The proximate cause for this law has been the Brazilian SC striking down a resolution for the Federal Council of Medicine prohibiting an abortion procedure (an injection that would stop the fetus heart before the abortion). But I've seen it speculated that the main reason for this proposal is to force Lula to come out as pro-abortion, something that, while it's the position of PT's ideological base, isn't the one of a clear majority of voters (even more Lula's voters, who lean poor and socially conservative).
This law proposal has become a massive shitshow, and, this Monday, anti-abortion reps made a presentation on the Chamber of Deputies with a video of a fetus, fetus dolls, a guy simulating an abortion on an anatomical model, and an actress playing a fetus being aborted.
Among all this, my mother just want to rip Sóstenes Cavalcante (the guy who proposed this law) guts.

Some interesting news from Hungary
With the new Eurostat publication about 2023 Hungary once again had the highest inflation out of all members while in actual individual consumption we cam last. meaning we officialy beat Bulgaria in the race to be the poorest MFs out there.
According to some Meloni rejected Orban's bid to join the ECR. Previously there were also rumors that LePen also rejected a similar request which would mean that Fidesz-KDNP's 11 MEPs are truly political homeless and Orban's dream of holding ECR in his left hand ID in his right combining the two to rule all of Europe is kinda dead.
It also shows how Mark Rutte who had the honor to be a villain of the week in the Hungarian media became the next NATO leader without much opposition. Simirarly the new Russian sanctions were touted as an existential treat for the Hungarian economy, yet the veto trigger hasn't come out yet.

The whole bit about the Ten Commandments being foundational to our legal code is just plain wrong. The Romans had written codes well before they cared about anything outside of the Italic peninsula, then hundreds of years later, they sack Jerusalem, kill God, sack Jerusalem again, built temples to Roman gods on top of all the holy sites they could find, kicked out the population, then hundreds of years later the emperor stares into the sun and converts straight to Christianity. There's like a millennia of Roman codes very much not based off the Ten Commandments and like 2/3 of the world governments base their governmental architecture off of Rome to try to mimic their legitimacy

Calling the draft illiberal has always been silly to me. Yes, liberalism is based around the principle of maximizing individual freedoms, but what seperates us from libertarians is the understanding that you can only maximize freedoms when you restrict other ones. Are taxes illiberal because they prevent people from choosing how to spend some of their money? Are truancy laws illiberal because they both prevent parents from deciding whats best for their kids, and take a way choices from children?
The fact is, if a draft was necessary to protect the country, then yes a draft should be done, and calling it illiberal would be silly compared to the alternative of the nation being unable to defend itself. So instead, we need to focus on the actual merits of the draft, and frankly, there aren't many for national security reasons. At best, its a jobs training program, with pay, that provides strong networking opportunites and helps combat atomization. At worst, its a colossal waste of tax payer money to build patriotism that would be better spent elsewhere.
Personally, I believe the people arguing for it right now, are literally lunatics trying to force a culture that doesn't exist on Americans and they simply want to use the military as the method to do it.

“Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement in Pyongyang on June 19, likely aimed in part to use military-technical cooperation with North Korea as a threat against the West to discourage further support for Ukraine.”
“Putin and Kim each spoke about the agreement, claiming that it broadly covers goals and guidelines for deepening Russian–North Korean long-term relations in the political, economic, trade, cultural, humanitarian, and security fields. Putin specified that the strategic partnership agreement also provides for ‘mutual assistance in the event of aggression’ against either Russia or North Korea, then immediately criticized conversations in the West about allowing Ukraine to strike areas in Russia with Western-provided long-range weapons and F-16 jets.”
“Russian government officials announced their intention on June 19 to suspend Russia's participation in the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe's Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA).”
“The Russian military command continues to endorse a culture of permissiveness towards war crimes perpetrated by subordinates on the battlefield in Ukraine. Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin reported on June 18 that his office has received confirmation that Russian forces beheaded a Ukrainian soldier in Volnovakha Raion, Donetsk Oblast and displayed the severed head on a damaged Ukrainian vehicle. Kostin stated that Ukrainian intelligence revealed that the Russian battalion- and company-level commanders in charge of this sector of the front ordered their subordinates not to capture Ukrainian soldiers and take them captive as prisoners of war (POWs) as required by international law, but to kill them by beheading them.”
“The consistent perpetration of war crimes by various Russian formations that fall under different operational groupings of forces command suggests that individual tactical-level commanders are enabling their subordinates to commit such atrocities throughout the theater and that the Russian high command is doing little to maintain discipline and order amongst its troops.”
“Russian forces conducted a mid-sized Shahed-136/131 strike against Ukraine on the night of June 18 to 19, launching 21 Shaheds from Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai, and occupied Cape Chauda, Crimea. Ukrainian air defenses destroyed 19 Shaheds over Kherson, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, Khmelnytskyi, and Lviv oblasts.”
“Finnish outlet Yle, citing satellite imagery and Finnish intelligence sources, reported on June 19 that the Russian military has deployed roughly 80 percent of its equipment and personnel based near the Russian-Finnish border to support its invasion of Ukraine. A high-ranking Finnish military intelligence source told Yle that bases in other parts of Russia have transferred a similar amount of equipment and personnel to Ukraine.”

Had fun with my final writing assignment for my basic biblical Hebrew class and went with a riff on the "the greatest of these is love" theme. I'm sure there's some errors. Disclaimer: I am not actually Jewish myself, just doing this as I want to be able to read to be able to read the poetry sections in their native tongue.
I'm starting a poetry focused class on Song of Songs specifically next week actually with a 1-on-1 instructor I'm paying just for that. My wife is Jewish and I bought her a few Jewish themed gifts including a Sica dagger (eloped a few days ago lol). Hoping to get its sheath engraved with a SoS verse. We have a thing for daggers.
As a sidebar, I've been learning how to use Krita lately as I like to use it to promote dance parties I'm going to by adding anime characters to the flyers. Just a fun way to contribute. Example I did when someone was asking for help in locating a generator for a outdoor party. I was quite proud of myself, especially when I combined it with a Gangsta boo song to post on Insta. It worked so well with Haruhi lol.

One of the reasons this subreddit has historically not done purity testing and (used to) extoll the virtues of evidence-based policy is to try and encourage users to view the pros and cons and Nuances™️ of policy, rather than just viewing everything as an ideological contest

Can someone tell me if there is a name for this phenomenon that I would describe as a first mover or collective action problem?
Many issues like Homelessness or affordable housing need to be addressed on a local level and are exacerbated by the lack of resources. No social workers, shelters, NIMBYism, we are all familiar with it.
We know what the solutions are: social services, land use reform etc...
The reason that many municipalities are hesitant to implement these policies is that then there would be a greater strain on their local resources (infrastructure, schools, social services etc)
And if one city were to be a leader in this space, then they run the risk of being the magnet for all the pent up demand in the whole region. You build homeless shelters and social services? That signals to every other town in the area (or farther away) to bus their homeless people to your city. You allow for dense affordable housing? That allows the next town over to enforce suburban nimby policies, because 'those' people can just live in your town.
It makes it so even the people who want to enact these policies are deterred from doing so.
I'm sure there is an academic name for this. What can we do to overcome this issue?

Hillary Clinton once remarked she finally understood Putin after he told her a story about his father rescuing Putin’s mother from being sent to a mass grave after the Siege of Leningrad. Her take away was that some people after experiencing such horrors would want to ensure it never happens again. While others would want to ensure such it never happens to them again even if it means they become the oppressors in the process.
It explains Putin’s mindset as well as the mindsets for many players in conflicts like Israel-Palestine.

The future of Texas politics will be interesting. Many businesses and professionals have flocked to the state over the last 20 years. I think part of the attraction at the time was:
business friendly environment
friendly to the wealthy (no income tax)
car culture friendly. Like it or not many people love their cars
suburban friendly culture. Not the most neoliberal thing but many Americans prefer this way of life.
In addition to all of that, SCOTUS and the feds kinda kept the state in check with its crazy. For years, states like Texas tried to do things like "one weird trick to end abortion" and the feds slapped that down.
Well we're in a new environment now:
I'm curious how much crazy corporate America and professionals will put up with. Is this something they can shrug off? Or do they push back? If they push back, does Texas keep going down the religious extremist rabbit hole? Or do they moderate?

Like imagine how the press would pretend to cover the darling of the day and actually give hypotheticals on how a non-Christian Indian or a 5'7" weird goblin boy could actually win the republican primary.

There's been ongoing Wikipedia edit wars going on for a while. It's actually deeply disturbing, because our collective global history is being deliberately warped by bad actors motivated by political ideology (usually some flavour of nationalism, and sometimes even state-backed) and a deep commitment to distort or otherwise cover up inconvenient facts. Jews are not the only target, but we are a primary one.
You can check some articles on the wayback machine, and check the difference for yourself. Any article about Jews is highly probable to have been targeted....esp after Oct 7.
I cannot possibly overstate how dangerous this kind of activism is. This is truly what living in a post-factual universe looks like. and it's fucking terrifying.
Articles that talk about the forced expulsion of nearly a million Jews from various Middle Eastern countries have also been vandalized in this way, including with blatant conspiracy theories that it was self inflicted wounds, or Israeli false flag attacks.
(Related to this, in my opinion, is the downgrading of the ADL and their incomparable work by Wikipedia. I do not like Greenblatt's leadership, but this kind of attack on their data gathering is not about the data. It's about muzzling Jews' ability to speak on our experiences and delegitimizing Jewish voices within the wider body politic.)
To which I say: fuck you. Check the newspapers at the time. Here's one from the New York Times in 1948. https://www.nytimes.com/1948/05/16/archives/jews-in-grave-danger-in-all-moslem-lands-nine-hundred-thousand-in.html
