I know I’ve genuinely been positive towards America in most of my posts but I’ll break with that sentiment when it comes to food. I know foreigners from literal who countries talking mad shit is getting old but come on, there’s no way any sane person can defend this. I get concerned when Trump guys demand that other countries deregulate their food industry so that American goods can compete. I’ve been to America before and a lot of the packaged foods there just taste kind of different. The sweets are really sweet and plastic/waxy looking, the soda tastes chemical like and the ready made meals are surprisingly bland considering how much salt/sodium is in the product.

Edit: also, what’s with that whole business of having 20+ different kinds of packaged snacks that all kind of taste the same? Do you like the lime flavoured takis? Well these ones are like that but they’re slightly spicy. And these ones are like the last one but they’re blue, and this other kind is like that but even more spicy!
My adhd addled brain struggled. I would spend 10 minutes standing in the isle like a moron just trying to chose one. And in the end they were more similar than different

It's all in your mind. Russia, China, and lots of other countries also have like 30 types of packaged snacks that are also basically the same and taste as such.

Reads like it.

I guess they're going to make a stink of every beaner that was sent to Superjail becase in the article it says he was given to Warden Bukele back in March. Also his mom says that he dindu nuffin wrong, he a good boy who went to the US for a better life.

Last month, U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher, a Maryland-based Trump appointee, ruled that the administration's deportation of Lozano-Camargo violated a 2024 legal settlement that barred immigration authorities from deporting migrants who arrived as unaccompanied minors while their requests for asylum were pending.

This part is the most interesting one to me.
Mommy is aware of him but he came to the US alone as a kid
Who was trafficking him and who were the people that were housing him? Venezuelan gangs are known to use children to rob people because they usually get a slap on the wrist.

Previously, court papers referred to Lozano-Camargo as "Cristian" - at the request of immigration lawyers involved in the case. But POLITICO has reviewed metadata embedded in a government filing in the case, which they have reported included Lozano-Camargo's full name.

They were also hiding his identity.

No, it'll cover a 25k hut priced at $1,000,000 because the Government is paying for it and has no incentive to not waste money.

Section 8 should include a "we'll pay your rent but you have to move out of the most expensive neighborhoods on the planet." Create shanty towns of $25-50k project houses that fit 3-5 people comfortably out in the boonies and THAT'S IT.

I mean fuck if I had known I could have moved to a big city and just had daddy government pay all my bills I would have decades ago.
Oh wait, I can't, I'm white and male and SOMEONE has to work to pay for all this free shit.

Section 8 should be "We'll pay your rent/mortgage in rural Pennsylvania/Mississippi if you got an arm blown off in war and aren't a felon."

As someone who has a bunch of natives for in-laws, I’ve never heard of one who doesn’t like the redskins logo and the land o lakes butter girl.

Years ago, when the Atlanta Braves were good - and perhaps even in the World Series - the fans made the news for their cheer known as the Tomahawk Chop. It sparked what may have been one of the earliest debates on Native American imagery. Parent Pie asked a Native American family member for their take which was quite blunt: "There's more important things to worry about like the high rate of joblessness and alcoholism among our people than some stupid cheer."

Even in the 90s, schools with Native American-themed athletic mascots started doing that they could to ensure their logos presented Natives and their culture in a positive light - often asking any local tribes for input on the matter.

Now, such logos are deemed socially unacceptable by the powers that be and the imagery needs to be removed at all costs - an ironic move from the same people who complain about "erasure" while indiscriminately doing the very same thing with Native American logos of all sorts.

How? Genuinely what is the legal justification for this?

If I read the article correctly, the judge's reason is that the higher court didn't explicitly state the Trump Administration could disallow all of the refugees. For someone who doesn't play a lawyer on the internet, this judge seems to splitting hairs or using a technicality to rule against the Trump Administration. At the same time, it shows how divided the courts have become along partisan lines.

It also doesn't help that - according to old posts on the site - the Dems and related groups apparently have document templates they can quickly fill out to file a suit against the administration as easily as filling out a mad lib story. That gives credence to the idea these suits are more obstructionist in nature and not being filed to address actual legal concerns.

Oman's Foreign Ministry confirms that the US and the Houthis have reached a ceasefire mediated by the Sultanate.

Following recent discussions and contacts conducted by the Sultanate of Oman with the United States and the relevant authorities in Sana'a, in the Republic of Yemen, with the aim of de-escalation, efforts have resulted in a ceasefire agreement between the two sides. In the future, neither side will target the other, including American vessels, in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, ensuring freedom of navigation and the smooth flow of international commercial shipping. The Sultanate of Oman expresses its gratitude to both parties for their constructive approach that led to this welcome outcome, and hopes that it will lead to further progress on many regional issues towards achieving justice, peace, and prosperity for all.

the houthi say:

Our military operations in support of Gaza will not cease until the aggression against Gaza stops and the blockade on its residents is lifted, allowing the entry of food, medicine, and fuel.︀︀︀︀As for our attacks on the US, they fall within the context of the right to self-defense. If it halts its attacks on us, we will halt our attacks on it. This position also applies to Britain.︀︀︀︀We are committed to our operations in support of Gaza, regardless of the sacrifices it costs us. If the US persists with its operations in support of the Zionist entity, even if they are immoral, the only way to stop the war and avoid escalation is for the US to pressure Netanyahu to respect the terms of the ceasefire agreement. At that point, we will halt all our military operations in the Red Sea and deep within the Zionist entity.

NGL gotta be impressed with the dedication to the absolute ugliness. That takes real effort to fight your own natural inclination towards beauty.
