Ford CEO drives a Xiaomi EV instead of a Ford and loves it. That article was from last year but he's still impressed in this article from a few days ago.

I ate crickets a few times in traditional Mexican restaurants. They were great dry roasted like seasoned peanuts, but I liked them less braised or streamed. I really needed them to have the crunch to be palatable. I'd try other bugs, for sure.

Now this is a true blast from the past for me. I grew up listening to Bone Thugs.

Adding on to that: Filled with a bunch of fearful America hating traitors. Afraid of slavery being abolished and hating America for even considering not expanding slavery to the territories in process of becoming states.

Here's some fun history: In Maryland and Virginia, reparations were paid by the federal government... to former slave owner for loss of their "property." "Property" being freed slaves. Those recently freed people got exactly what you think they got. Nothing.

I don't use popular social media, but seeing the second comment have a slur is more than a little shocking. I haven't seen much stuff like that from 2010 to 2020. I saw it a whole lot on forums before 2010, but not after. Is it normal again?

Americans favor deporting undocumented immigrants, until they're asked how in c/news@lemmy.world

If only. That comes out to nearly all Republicans and around a third of Democrats. I could totally see 30% of Democrats being in favor of mass deportations.

First line of the article

Most U.S. adults (9 in 10 Republicans and close to half of Democrats) say they support mass deportations of immigrants living in the country illegally

You gotta remember that the "They're taking our jobs" and "They're getting our tax money" propaganda has been pervasive in America for decades. And they don't, actively or passively, want to know about the realities of the lives of undocumented immigrants in the US. They don't want to read the studies or know the data. Feelings don't care about the facts.
