I don’t remember that really. I think they just redesigned the site abruptly and the user base didn’t like the change and migrated. Anyway, still always liked the community and diggnation.

MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Puzzled Trump Says He Has No Idea Why Musk Supported Him in the First PlaceEnglish2·4 days agoI think Musks playbook is to be the excited investor at first who gets involved with the company. Later, he bullies the founders out and takes it over. That obviously can’t work for the presidency.
Peaceful protests are more likely to succeed and no peaceful protest that drew in 3.5 percent or more of the population has ever failed.

Once you use violence, they will use that to justify using violence and putting down the movement.
You want to win people’s hearts and minds. You do that by being peaceful. Your opponent will make a mistake, but you stay peaceful. Remember MLK Jr.’s successes.
Edit: downvotes, sorry that history and facts don’t support your view of things. But, don’t do violence and damage the movement for the rest of us.

He has to dominate and that’s what he tried to do. Probably could’ve been more successful if he just acted like a loyal supporter to Trump and ran his business.

MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•A Long Island man driving to work gets handcuffed by ICE — despite being U.S. citizen15·4 days agoAll of what you said, but also, can ICE conduct traffic stops? Like only state and local police can enforce traffic laws in their own states and jurisdictions right? Maybe if it’s an interstate highway… but I would think they need a reason to pull you over and actually be able to show that they planned to enforce some traffic infraction. I doubt ICE writes speeding tickets, so I think they are breaking some law here.
