Gotta throw NH in there too. Goddamn fucking free stater libertarians fucked that state

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It’s the only one without legal weed too. Fucking stupid state politicians.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

The only possible reason I can think of is the NH govt wants to wait until it's federally legal so they can control the market like they do with liquor stores. But yeah, it's embarrassing for all the shared borders to lead to legal weed while NH isn't.

They do have a medical program. They're also far from the only state that hasn't legalized recreational cannabis, though I agree they are an anomaly in New England.

If you haven’t read “A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear”, I highly recommend it

As a native Floridian this breaks my heart. In my own view immigrants have an even greater claim to being American than I do They chose us, this nation created of immigrants. My family may have been here since the late 1600s, but I'm still only American by accident of birth.

There's a reason I now live on the opposite corner of the continent.

Dear fucking god, Florida.

It's infected. We gotta put it down.

I am sickened by the amount of United States citizens living with the luxury of due process revelling in the kidnap and persecution of others

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 25 points 10 months ago (2 children)

if one person doesn't have due process, no one does

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 2 points 10 months ago

preach fellow dweller in gaseous environs!!!

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

It’s not a luxury, it’s your right.

whats up with Florida? I can understand South Texas and their uptick. But FLORIDA? Am I missing something?

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 44 points 10 months ago

DeSantis has spent the past decade radicalizing Florida. He hasn't stopped, we just can't hear it over the noise from Trump.

I'll also point out that both Florida and Texas were increasingly blue. The increasing radicalization of both states is a deliberate effort to prevent national Democratic party power in the future, a test case for things that they want to do nationally, and provides a power base from which they can try to leverage that power to affect everyone in the country.

DeSantis playing along with Trump, what else?

[–] faltryka@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

If we indiscriminately deport brown people then we can ensure the state stays red.

Chordia also says his company has a deal with Shazam, which can help it to identify users by analysing audio provided by Alphonso and selling its findings back to the company.

This is a really old article and thus, Alphonso isn't the only game in town anymore. But that's how they get away with it. They can tell you legally that they do not listen to you, and they don't readily disclose that their buddy Alfonso listens instead, and then Alfonso goes back and tells them everything.

[–] DefinitelyNotAnAlien@lemmy.ml 23 points 10 months ago

It’s so ironic that South Florida always votes red. The people at highest risk of deportation are the biggest Trump simps. They literally voted for this. And their reason they are so hardcore republican is always “in my country we know what dictators do.”

Come to the PNW immigrant friends, we are happy to have you!

You people rock, I almost stayed up there after college.

[–] gargolito@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months ago

The border doesn't seem to have that much of a problem. Funny.

[–] renamon_silver@lemmy.wtf 11 points 10 months ago

I wonder what those two dots near the reservations in MN are doing.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I live in Illinois. Who the fuck is that one gray dot.

In Oregon I believe it's actually a law that police and officials cannot help ICE or other immigration agencies except under rare circumstances.

Edit: I just looked it up.

It is against Oregon law for state and local law enforcement or public agencies (state and local government offices) in the state of Oregon to participate directly or indirectly in immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

West coast holding the line.

New Mexico doesn't seem to be interested. I wonder why.

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lujan-Grisham would be my bet. She told the drillers and loggers to fuck of, as well.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 4 points 10 months ago

She's a huge part of the why. Agreed.

[–] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

WTF, Wisconsin?! We were proud to welcome among the highest numbers of people from Laos, and our agriculture depends on immigrants to function. This state is so divided against itself.

I tend not to read the details on the MAGAchanics of all this, but has anyone seen a cost/benefit analysis showing how much all these enforcements and deportations are costing the taxpayers, and what kind of dollar return is expected? Or is it all kind of lumped into a War to Save Your Freedom, where no cost is too high and questioning the cost = treason?
