If you’re about to be kidnapped and sent to your death, might as well attack your abductors.

You’re gonna die either way.

This is stupid. There are two completely separate variables here.

Peer reviewers review publications as part of their service to their respective communities. Unpaid.

Peer reviewers are PAID by their respective industry for the fucking job that they perform for that industry. Paid.

Imagine saying that soup kitchen workers were paid one billion dollars last year. In reality, the soup kitchen workers WORK FOR FREE. They have OTHER JOBS in which they earn money.

This is divisive, disingenuous bullshit.

The trump regime was designed to TANK the US economy so that stocks, businesses, and industries can be bought by billionaires at rock bottom prices.

All is going according to plan.

A judge who does not have a law degree is deeply dangerous to the judicial system.

Imagine knowing more about law than the judge who is trying your case.

Don’t sign a deal with the US at all.

The US cannot be trusted.

Trump no longer needs any voter approval.

There will be no more elections, or the elections will be falsified Russia-style.

It’s game over in the US. The US is in the late stages of capitalism, falling like the Roman Empire.

Reddit refuge here.

I do miss all the niche subreddits. As the saying goes, “there’s a subreddit for everything.”

But I think with time, Lemmy can grow to fill that gap.

So they wouldn’t let ICE inside their house to search for the grandmother, correct?

And then days later, ICE suddenly decides that the mom and granddaughter have “gang ties”, correct?

Riiiiiiiiight. Having “gang ties” is now the equivalent of cops planting a crack pipe on you.
