It’s the party of projection. Everything they talk about is solely because that’s what they are doing/would do if given the opportunity.

This has been obvious to anyone paying attention for decades now. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia turned their massive propaganda infrastructure outwards.

Considering the entire prison population was about 7,500 last year and they only have about 5,000 beds across all facilities… That’s a pretty large percentage.

And to add to that, from this specific article:

According to a recent Kriminalvården report, Sweden’s prison population could – in the most extreme scenario – grow from 7,800 this year to 41,000 in 2034 as a result of more punitive policies driven by the far right.

They’re looking at a 500% increase in the prison population within a decade because of the new policies. If that’s not a shift towards mass incarceration I’d like to know what your definition would be.

How were the switches designed such that they prevented accidental activation? Because it looks like they just get simply flipped down. Could it be pull-out-and-down? Or maybe there’s a lot of resistance during the switch action?

The lever-lock fuel switches are designed to prevent accidental activation - they must be pulled up to unlock before flipping, a safety feature dating back to the 1950s. This isn’t a new or weird design. It’s essentially the standard used in basically every plane because it works.

“It would be almost impossible to pull both switches with a single movement of one hand, and this makes accidental deployment unlikely,” a Canada-based air accidents investigator, who wanted to remain unnamed, told the BBC.

It’s ironic that his original pick, while a blatant issue due to nepotism and coming from Elon… Jared Isaacman does actually know Space and has experience in orbit. Anyone that’s experienced the Overview Effect is almost surely a better option for leading NASA than most other choices, especially this dude.

That’s the only place he gets any information, news, events, entertainment, all of it comes from TV. Anything coming from a different place is ignored.

They have never considered actually competing have they?

So, what are the chances he was told to do this a while ago, but to wait a bit so they could deny involvement like this? That’s probably giving them too much credit.

That’s illegal in most places. Votes are anonymous specifically on purpose. Numerous people have been threatened to vote certain ways in the past all over the world. If there is no record of you specifically voting a specific choice, you can’t be forced to vote a specific way. And you can’t be targeted after the fact for that vote.

Success means a split of the Republicans, because the vast majority of Dems aren’t going to follow Elon after these last few months.

Supposedly an American spouse, on a Finnish instance? Probably a Russian account.

Edit: and it’s a day old account.

They’re not even trying.

So you’re part of the fucking problem. Good to know. I’ll make sure to tag your account to remind me of the context when your stupid posts show up later on.

Makes me really wonder though how an affluent American spouse ends up deciding that a Finnish Lemmy instance is the one to make their account. Much more likely you’re just a Russian troll.

No, Satan dared to defy his father and was thrown out of the house.

None of these fucks would dare defy their daddy Trump.

Don’t forget the eruv circling Manhattan so they can ignore other Sabbath rules wholesale while going about their days.

No, a stroke. Rendering him unable to speak and without fine motor control so he can’t tweet or play golf.

This is one of those situations where adhering to the treaty doesn’t actually do anything positive, it just handicaps Ukraine’s options.

A primary reason for the treaty is that landmines are indiscriminant and they last well beyond the length of the war they’re placed for. So civilians are at risk decades after a war ends. The intent is to prevent ANY mines from being placed, by having everyone agree not to place them ahead of time.

However, Russia is going to place mines anyway no matter what. So there are going to be landmines in the area because of them regardless even if Ukraine doesn’t place their own, so the danger will already be there, except Ukraine will have one less tool to fight with.

Any backers if there are any, searching their name online to see about controversial decisions.

And then I default to replacing them. Most people vote to keep the status quo… I’d rather keep them on their toes.

It would be a state law. Dems in CA are much more likely to make sure it gets enforced compared to the federal level.

It’s actually not that vague looking into it. They have to be readily identifiable. They can totally wear masks as long as their identifiable as police and not trying to disguise themselves. So things like SWAT and riot equipment already identify them as police.

It has an exemption for undercover officers, which already have existing requirements and paperwork associated for oversight. There is zero reason for any other officer to not be identifiable.

It requires intent to disguise, so effectively this just outlaws plainclothes officers, which should already not be allowed honestly. Too easy for them to escalate a conflict from within to then justify an escalated police response. Protesters aren’t violent enough? Send Jeff and Bobby inside in plain clothes to start some shit.

They’re basically extending an existing law making wearing a disguise while committing a crime a separate offense, to cover law enforcement while in the performance of their duties. It’s already illegal for you to do this as a regular civilian, they’re making it the same for law enforcement.

There is an exception for undercover officers. There is zero reason outside those situations for an officer to disguise themselves. SWAT aren’t usually disguised, they are very clearly identified as police already and aren’t trying to disguise themselves.

Plainclothes officers outside undercover assignments are already a grey area to be honest, too easy for them to purposefully escalate conflicts while making it look natural, and then justify a response to an escalation they created. ICE is just using that to their advantage here.

Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to wear a mask, false whiskers, or any personal disguise, as specified, with the purpose of evading or escaping discovery, recognition, or identification while committing a public offense, or for concealment, flight, evasion, or escape from arrest or conviction for any public offense. This bill would make it a crime for a law enforcement officer to wear any mask or personal disguise while interacting with the public in the performance of their duties, except as specified. The bill would exempt an officer engaged in an undercover assignment from these provisions. The bill would define law enforcement officer as any officer of a local, state, or federal law enforcement agency, or any person acting on behalf of a local, state, or federal law enforcement agency. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would declare its provisions to be severable. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

This actually is not a particularly vague law. It’s pretty clear cut, and requires an intent to disguise. With the ICE bitches there is a clear intent to disguise there and not identify themselves as law enforcement, they’ve even admitted that is the case.

The mask itself isn’t the issue, it’s the mask alongside not being not identifying themselves as police via something like a uniform or vest.
