politics @lemmy.world•You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.English
28·10 months agoThere have been many protests even before the stock market issues. Even before Trump was elected there were protests across the nation at college campuses representing Palestinians. Even my very politically inactive university had enough students feel strongly enough to protest. Just because you’re not seeing them, or looking for them, doesn’t mean protests weren’t happening.

News@lemmy.world•Judge says Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil can't be removed from U.S. as protesters call for his releaseEnglish
2·11 months agoAhhh I see this is a distinction I wasn’t aware of. I just remembered reading one of the publications saying he was a citizen, but it seems you’re correct.

News@lemmy.world•Judge says Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil can't be removed from U.S. as protesters call for his releaseEnglish
112·11 months agoIn addition to ignorance, Khalil had legal citizenship which makes him a US citizen ☠️. So much for “we love immigrants as long as they’re legal”!

politics @lemmy.world•ICE arrests Palestinian activist with green card at Columbia University: AttorneyEnglish
4·11 months agoThis article doesn’t even mention his name. He was a leader on Columbia’s campus for pro-Palestine protests but all accounts show that he didn’t partake in or encourage any vandalism or barricading of buildings. Even your explicitly biased news source does not list enough evidence to convict this man of any crime worthy of revoking citizenship or trampling his free speech.

Technology@lemmy.world•Why can't we go back to small phones?English
4·11 months agoI think it’s a valid criticism that should be welcomed. You could make this argument for any company when they make a bad decision.
“Oh well you trusted this company blindly so why are you upset and criticizing this design choice you don’t agree with.”
I also am not convinced a criticism is less meaningful if it’s the minority opinion. Many such cases in the world where the minority opinion is proven to be better for the majority.

politics @lemmy.world•Bill to ban mRNA vaccines passes out of House committeeEnglish
1·1 year agoIf you’re joking I apologize in advance but why should that be illegal?
Not exactly, but it sounds interesting nonetheless and I’ll check it out!
Will do!
I like this idea I’ll look around for this
There is lots of beauty in the mundane.

World News@lemmy.world•Vance: If US survived Greta Thunberg, Europe ‘can survive a few months of Elon Musk’English
35·1 year ago“I believe that dismissing people, dismissing their concerns, or worse yet, shutting down media, shutting down elections or shutting people out of the political process protects nothing. In fact, it is the most surefire way to destroy democracy,” Vance said.
The jokes write themselves these days.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Arguments for Signal over Whatsapp, Messenger, and SnapChatEnglish
5·1 year agoMaybe I’m the outlier but I have always failed to see chat history being very important. Realistically when is the last time you’ve combed through chat histories and why? If it’s to look for important information you can just write down the important parts and the rest is useless. I’m not trying to be elitist or anything I’m just genuinely curious hoping someone can explain this to me.

News@lemmy.world•Trump warns Americans that tariffs may cause ‘pain’– US politics liveEnglish
9·1 year agoIdk something about strengthening American economy making it more self reliant. Which is why he’s putting tariffs on all of the things we can’t sustainably produce here and are outsourced for a reason, y’know, so we can, uh…

politics @lemmy.world•A new government memo feels like it’s straight out of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’English
4·1 year agoNot to mention, blue means democrat. If the lines are blue they can blame it on the democrats when things go wrong!
I don’t really see people defending TSA anywhere. I just see people pointing out that Trump thinks DEI initiatives are at fault, while simultaneously thinking that thinning out the workforce in a notoriously understaffed field will strengthen the workforce.

Climate@slrpnk.net•I was jailed for four years for a non-violent climate protest – this is my prison diaryEnglish4·1 year agoOne of these will make the news and one wouldn’t. If the goal of a protest is to spread awareness and draw attention, going to where politicians live will probably get you a restraining order and a cozy ride in the back of a police vehicle and the protest will likely go unnoticed.
Not saying these types of protests are not necessary or unhelpful! I’m just saying that, in order to draw the most attention to your cause, you inconvenience daily lives. Those are the things that make headlines and viral posts, not a secluded protest on private property.



Yes the test points are directly connected. This seems like the answer I was looking for, so I’ll shop around and try and get that to work. Thank you so much!
