Not sure why you’d say that, but you can think what you want.
Happy holidays!

He didn’t, though.
Foster Care, then they adopted me.
My dad - who was an amazingly racist conspiracy theorist - gave all his money to 2 redhead women he started fucking after divorcing the woman he married after my mom died.
He chose not to leave me anything because I called him out for using the “n” word any time he talked about African Americans.
I’m out $150k
He is out having a legacy. My kids will never know his name, story, or hate.

Instead of taking any actions, I’ll just ask this:
If the people committing the crime are great at controlling the media, it didn’t happen?

That’s how I learned PHP in a week with no Internet or reference books. Had a couple open source projects on a thumb drive, an a strong urge to eat sometime that month. Reverse engineered one project into a movie rental system, and sold it to a gas station for $500.
God, that code was awful
I’m surprised that you seem to not realize that you helped bring Trump back in power. This was the plan, wasn’t it? Jill Stein had no chance at gaining the office, but you rallied against Harris nonetheless.
Those .3-.5% in key states could have stopped Trump, and solidified under a banner that isn’t anti-LGBTQ+.
The Green party essentially is under Trump.
I called the top number (the “NATIONWIDE” number).
They were very prompt. I asked them if someone - regardless of political leaning - were to call, what they would actually do, and how this would be a better solution to other services like the ones listed by @mox@lemmy.sdf.org.
One thing is there’s no real-time solution available anywhere in the U.S., from what I can find, nor what they are aware of.
Next, when we call, they will route your call to the proper escalation path, depending on the nature of the call. This also means that if you’re being intimidated, they will reach out to the law enforcement for your polling station (city/county/state as needed). This is regardless of your political leaning. They would be contacting the proper authorities on behalf of the Democratic National Support Hotline, which carries a bit of weight, as they do have an army of lawyers at their disposal, for if it’s not resolved in a timely fashion.
I was on hold for a while to get a better understanding of how things worked, to see if this was, in fact, a valid and viable option.
Yes, it IS partisan org, but they state they will not play partisan politics with intimidation.
TL;DR: they are there to do something the government can’t/won’t - provide immediate resolution to voter intimidation regardless of your political leaning.
only the source instance (where you created your account) has your IP.
That’s your decision. In my opinion, it means your not voting. Your line helps nobody.
I am doing something. I’m voting for the issues at my doorstep. I have a gay child, and a non-binary child. I have another that is autistic.
If Trump wins, there’s a non-zero chance that my children will be in danger.
I’m also an advocate for the homeless (don’t correct me. I used to be homeless, and we hate “unhoused”),.
I advocate for foster youth, a sector no politician cares about.
All you do is complain about one issue. There’s scores of issues. Jill Stein isn’t happening. Vote in reality, and for reproductive rights, non-cis rights, rights for the homeless, and for someone that will actually win.
I won’t say a vote for Jill is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Jill is the same as not voting. I tell people that didn’t vote “you don’t vote, you don’t have a right to bitch”
Hey. Moderator here. Your attack on their intelligence is a rule violation. Please either delete this comment, or update it so you’re not insulting somebody. If you don’t in 2 hours, I will be forced to delete your comment. If you continue down this path, you will receive a temporary ban.
The Shroud of Turin: the real origin
This is why I said I DON’T WANT TO SILENCE PEOPLE.
I try hard to work with people, if possible. We still have rules, so it’s not “anything goes”, nor will it ever be.
That works. As you know, it can be a touchy subject, and wording can make all the difference. I don’t want to remove content, as that feels like picking sides, but I have to keep things civil.
Hey, mod here. I get your views, but the way you expressed them might break a rule (rule 1). The way you wrote it can easily be taken that you think all Muslims are terrorists.
it’s crazy seeing so many who defend the Muslims right to be Islamist terrorists
I’d rather not silence your voice, so could you modify that so it doesn’t read that way. The rest is completely fine.
Sadly, just time. Federation isn’t always instant
I’m on Mobile right now. I restored the comment, as it broke no rules.
You’re a good person. I don’t normally share, but I feel I should.
I was put in foster care when I was 6/7 (I don’t remember well).
When I was 12, after 7 foster homes, my parents lost all parental rights. I was put up for adoption.
At that time, I was still with one of my brothers in a foster home.
We were told a couple was interested in us. We meet them a number of times, and had a few weekends at their place to test run it. They weren’t great, but they weren’t worse than other foster homes, so we decided to give it a try.
My brother lasted about 9 months before asking to go back to foster care. I decided to stay, because I was tired of moving.
I was adopted at 14, and moved out on my own at 17. I was tired of being reminded I was broken in some ways.
Fast forward to me being 21 and in the navy. We start talking again. By then I was beginning to learn what I now consider my personal morals. He was still racist. I wasn’t.
Fast forward to a few years ago. He’s still wildly racist. More so than before. I am now a very liberal person, advocating for homeless rights foster youth assistance, LGBTQIA+ rights, and equality all around. I have finally had enough. I call his bullshit out. About 2 years passes, and his 14th heart attack takes him.
That was 2 years ago. My oldest is 24. My next oldest is 18. They never met him. I just couldn’t bring myself to introduce them to the old school hate.
