Except they aren’t targeting the one group they always said they would; masked thugs snatching people off the street.

Depends on who responds. Some will just nod and inform the caller that they are indeed federal law enforcement, but others (who absolutely despise ICE as cosplaying wannabes) may decide that taking the actors into custody, even if only for their own protection if a crowd is forming, is the best course of action. If it happens enough, it should force DHS to direct agents to properly identify themselves, and even if not, some actual consequences for these thugs may discourage some from participating. And as others have pointed out, friction between law enforcement agencies is in the population’s best interest.

and there are still masked officers people abducting people off the street

If they refuse to show law enforcement ID, they are just armed people impersonating law enforcement. Call 911!

Don’t make me like the Dodgers, please.

Trump fan and murderer? Doesn’t sound too Christian to me.

Confused nation could have sworn Jared Leto was already a convicted sex offender...

This is becoming more common in a variety of jobs. I work in tech, and have heard from colleagues about their experiences with nanny software. Without a union, your best bet is malicious compliance. I would start looking for hacker communities and posting there, because there can be simple but non-obvious ways to circumvent controls while still seeming to comply, which protects your job.

I recently found out my municipality does not add flouride to most of our water, because it’s naturally flouridated enough already to meet the recommended amount.

Goddamn it.

I’m playing spot the difference on Grond…can I get a hand?

Having started on the night shift in the position I was hiring for, I felt it was good. Emphasis on the “keeping people” part of it. Hardly anyone (except this one guy) wants to stay on the night shift forever, and eventually no amount of shift differential will make up for it. Personally, I would much rather hire people from around the world since the work could be done remotely, so that no one has to work in the middle of the night.

Pretty easy to be flippant with “just pay more” without considering the realities of people’s preferences, how much I was able to offer before I was told no more, the quality of the people applying, the skills required, etc.

Yeah, I hate the exploitative nature of overseas hiring, just colonialism with a fresh coat of paint. I also dislike their in-person requirement of two days per week. As has been noted elsewhere in this thread, there is a good, non-exploitative use case in providing overnight coverage for US-based orgs so that no one has to work night shifts. I’ve done both, and it’s hard to get and keep good people on a night shift, regardless of where they live.

I’m all for doing the minimum to stay employed, but in this case I was told the employee didn’t, so not only were they not meeting even a low bar, but they were exploiting someone else in turn to do it.

Hahahaha, yeah, hiring overseas is a great way to skimp on payroll. In my experience, it’s also a great way to skimp on quality, effectiveness, and sanity. We just got rid of one guy who, immediately after hiring, asked for an RTO exemption for a newborn child; fine, it was granted. When that expired, still refused. Was counseled on it and their low quality of work. Then tried having someone else attend their meetings, was called on it, and resigned. Pretty sure they were trying to subcontract their job to work multiple full-time jobs.

The way Luthen organizes his cells is a great class on how to organize a resistance.

I saw ICE trucks rolling down the street in my town for the first time today.

Goddamn it media, stop calling it deportation! Kidnapping, rendition, disappearing, gulaging, take your pick.

I have that exact same oven mitt.

“An interceptor was launched toward the missile, and the missile was most likely successfully intercepted,” the Israeli military said.

Are they…not sure?

Goodnight everybody!

Gotta be concave for the conclave!

Flamethrowers are organic, right?
