The Biden Admin just announced an executive order removing de minimis tax protections from large companies trying to exploit it to import large quantities of product, which is going to take a bite out of Shein and Temu’s business models.
It’s actually not “in the public interest” for details about how she died to be made public. Thinking that you’re owed that information is a symptom of our voyeuristic, celebrity-worshipping culture
She actually said:
“I’m not a racist,” she said through heavy emotion, adding that her daughter is half Black and she herself is mixed race and a member of the LGBTQ community. “Everybody seems to be turning it into that, and that was not my intent.”
Lee said she pulled her daughter out of school and is now worried about her safety with so much attention on her family. She is also concerned for the safety of the Haitian community, which she said she did not intend to villainize en masse.
“I feel for the Haitian community,” she said. “If I was in the Haitians’ position, I’d be terrified, too, worried that somebody’s going to come after me because they think I’m hurting something that they love and that, again, that’s not what I was trying to do.”
These aren’t the words of some MAGA devotee, she seems pretty genuine on this and I don’t see any reason not to believe her. I instead blame those who have purposefully worsened and spread this rumor for racist ends. Imagine if you made an offhand post on Lemmy that inadvertently spun up a rumor that reached a fucking presidential.debate, I bet you’d be caught pretty off guard by that.
Remember how Trump’s inner circle from his last time around either all disavowed the man or have spent the last 3 years in courtrooms and bankruptcy proceedings?
And as long as people have confidence in our currency, the debt we owe to ourselves really doesn’t matter

With Trump, I think this goes way deeper than a learned strategy to claim victory no matter what. Trump has narcissistic personality disorder, and his brain can’t conceive of a situation where he doesn’t win. At his core are such deep-seated insecurities about himself that the only way his brain can cope with itself is to never show vulnerability by creating a fictional narrative in which he’s the winner all the time. It would be incredibly pathetic if it weren’t so terrifying. Someone like him who wasn’t born into extreme wealth would be lonely and broke right now
Elon Musk has repeatedly said EV sales worldwide are slowing as an excuse for why Tesla sales are slowing, rather than blaming his poor leadership. Repeat a lie often enough and it enters the public consciousness
Not only have they not read the Constitution, but they also haven’t read any of what the founders actually wrote, and most of them were prolific writers.

Posting AI-generated songs is perfectly legal, and there are other people who have made 6 figures doing this without committing fraud
Trans immigrants are stealing our cheeseburgers!
The issue here is clearly not the enforcement of the law, but handcuffing him face down on the concrete for what is ordinarily a citation. Get it together man
Paranormal videos are all editing and tricks, my man

I hate to break it to you…
Donald Trump definitely does not have schizophrenia. ADHD is a maybe, but Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a certainty.
Wrong community
In most other places…
They are slurs, but there’s so much distance between today and the original medical usage of these terms that people have forgotten. Both are still terms with a history based in describing someone with an intellectual or developmental disability
