The big issue here is they're being treated as criminals who committed violent crimes and it's a disgusting sight for everyone involved except racists. A lot of these people are innocent people, some who have been here for over 15-20 years and have entire lives and families in the US.

That's why most of the talks here were around Colombia sending their Presidential plane to pick up their citizens. They weren't rejecting the people, they were rejecting the way in which it was done.

Mexico is also doing similar things rejecting military aircraft, but still allowing the deliver of Undocumented immigrants. Sheinbaum has also been preaching a lot on welcoming everyone home, most of LATAM has had the same perspective from what I've read and seen.

Occam's razor that versus the campaign was SO POORLY RAN that it didn't inspire people to vote against a literal dictator.

I know ads are very hated here, but I wouldn't be against an ad at a reasonable cadence to increase sustainability. Then create a pro version that gets rid of ads that's like $2-5 a month or $30 a year. The real problem is the exploitation of this system like Reddit/Insta feeding an ad every other post. Or Twitter charging nearly $13 a month for a check mark.

The sync app got so much hate for having ads during the original migration, but a lot of us here are devs and we should definitely get paid for our effort and be able to maintain our infrastructure without our of pocket money.

Whether Gaza is entirely rubble in 2 years vs 4 years, it's still rubble.

Whether Billionaires and corporations make 50% extra profits or 100% profits via exploitation of workers, it's still exploitation.

If on day 1 of a presidency you can effectively have nationwide ICE raids and deportations, the previous administration allowed and helped in that in at least some capacity.

Listen man I myself am half white, it's okay to accept that most white people right now are the cause of a lot of problems in society. They are very hateful racist people and it's also okay for people of all skin tones to acknowledge that the majority of white help the police and the rise of fascism.

Don't slip down this path of "they're racist to white people". Nobody here is racist to any individual white person based SOLELY on their skin tone. Nobody is judging you personally and you shouldn't take it that way.

call out the actual people who are doing the bad?

Brother take a look at who is doing the bad. Who is assisting the bad?

As another mid 20s dude this is most likely because they're at Berkeley. You'll find a much different answer in some other crowds who don't have the luxury of being able to be ignorant

The Overton window has shifted so much in 4 years that 2024 democrats were definitely running on 2016 Republican platforms.

I don't believe apathy is the solution but let's not kid ourselves, they are effectively the same in regards to the proletariat. They just operate on a 50% societal deterioration as opposed to Republicans 100%

These next few election cycles

It's very hopeful to assume there will be another set of elections in 4 years or even midterms in all 50 states. We should be operating as if there won't be.

Honestly nowadays I really hate the reflections on the court of the arena lights. I don't remember them being this bad, I think it's because the ads around the court have started changing and flashing.

Definitely varies by arena and court color, Cavs tends to look washed out a little bit imo.

Warriors games are bright AF.

By broadcaster I haven't noticed a particular difference with the colors, but there's a big audio difference sometimes with how much you can hear the players and fans
