  • Army Sgt. Ayssac Correa had just started his day at the 103rd Quartermaster Company outside of Houston on the morning of March 13 when he got a phone call from his sister-in-law.

    She worked at the same company as Correa’s wife and had just pulled into the parking lot to see three ICE agents handcuffing her.

    “They’re taking Shirly away!” she told him.

    Imagine getting that call. We've definitely become evil.

  • So you missed all the gay rights stuff that happened? Yes some of it is being undone currently but progress is nonlinear. Such rights still exist in entirety in many states.

    Also Title IX protecting against sex discrimination, women in the military, etc.

    You can't see evolution happening in real time. You need to look backwards.

  • democracies aren't famous for granting new freedoms to citizens either

    The history of the US has been one of slow and steady increasing of individual freedom. Similar with other democracies I assume.

    Non-land owners can vote, slavery abolished, women's suffrage, the equal rights act, abolition of poll taxes... Even the right to free speech has generally been expanded over time to include things like porn and anti-war speech.

    US history doesn't start with Trump's first term.

  • Edit: Holy shit y'all are insane. I knew Lemmy was an echo chamber but mass downvoting simple, factual information like this really makes me think less of you.

    Yeah, they don't really care about facts, logic, or reason. They also don't see how that makes them like the people they hate.
