revoking their visas and restricting any US-based property transactions.
So any icc employee who has settled in the US. Loses access to family. And is unable to sell property to fund moving them. To a less politically toxic nation?
It could be a ĺittle more then symbolism to the lives of anyone involved who has a visa.
Republicans seem to really ignore:we no longer live in a world where the girl/boy next door is your most likely wife/husband. Many of us human beings build relationships accross borders now the Internet is so linked to our daily lives.
I’m going to move to Mexico I guess. Here in The Netherlands, as well as most of the European countries, right wing extremism is on the rise. Who would have thought it would be Mexico to show we don’t have to live in a dystopian shit show.
Ha! Jokes on you! I’m poor because I have to spend 1900 euros per month on rent alone so there’s nothing to rob me of. You can’t even rob me of my dignity anymore.
Jokes aside, I’m aware of the major issues Mexico has. I’ve never been there but I would love to visit as it’s a beautiful country. But I’m too chicken to go due to the high crime rate etc. And tickets are too expensive, I wasn’t joking about having no money because my decent salary is being sucked up completely by rent, taxes, bills, insurances and food.
But I’m glad Mexico has elected a leader I could only dream of. I hope she can make a change towards better. Or at least, I hope she is what she looks like. I mean, is she really good or only looks like that (like the president of India). At least she looks like Merkel + + +
I need to spend that much for basics, like food and a roof over my head. I’m basically a slave, I need to work most of my life without being able to build up anything. No saving, buying a house, etc.
But I’m aware I live in one of the wealthiest countries, where I do not have to fear anything no matter where I go. I’m aware I’m extremely lucky to have been born here. I’ve seen how life can be different, when I went on deployment to the Middle East and Africa. I’ve been to horrible places and have seen horrible things.
But life here is extremely expensive. We make more money, but in the end we have nothing left after we payed all the bills to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. I don’t have much to lose, as I’m depressed AF, alone as my wife left me, stuck with PTSD from when I was in the military, unable to enjoy life anymore somehow. So a holiday in Mexico where I snort loads of cocain with a bunch of hookers before I get robbed and killed doesn’t sound so bad really.
Also, depending on what you move, make sure to take into account areas with drought, and future rain and heat patterns. Climate change is only going to get worse. Make sure you have a secure water supply to work with.
Ok so I’m not moving for the coming 10 years for sure, and if I’m moving it probably won’t be Mexico. But the climate change thing is something I worry about. I live in the Netherlands, most parts are below sea level. The dykes are being reinforced, but the plans for now are finished in about 10 years and won’t be high and strong enough in about 5 years, so we need to start to reinforce it even more 5 years before the current plans are being completed. At the same time ground water levels are getting lower, so trees are unable to get water from the ground and die, so the roots will die too and won’t be able to hold the ground together. It’s getting harder and harder pumping drinking water from the ground. Next to that, salt seawater is normally held back in the ground by the ground water, but because it’s level is getting lower while the sea level is rising, salt seawater is making it’s way into the ground, killing more greenery because it’s polluting the groundwater and making it undrinkable. So I may be forced to move, as well as most inhabitants here if this shit continues. 10 to 12 million people forced to relocate due to lack of water AND too much water at the same time. Weird AF.
If you do or know someone that will do, please take into consideration that the housing market in México, right now, has been favoring foreigners and that in some areas, they’ve displaced the locals and raised prices so much that they can’t afford to be there anymore (be for shopping, working, etc.). Please don’t contribute to this and research before, do not try to pay in euros/dollars, come legally and work legally.
It’s interesting how ahead their government is with some things and behind it is with others (generally speaking they have a lot of crime in their larger cities).
It’s harder to take out crime when the organized crime is outfitted with similar gear to the army and the army is highly corrupt due to the cartel paying better.
America was fortunate that we were able to snuff out our organized crime before they had access to modern technology that made it near impossible to snuff out their movement.
It’s hard to arrest a group of cartel all at once if they never leave their heavily guarded fortresses for Sunday brunch like the mafia did
Another issue is that they’re civilians. You could bomb their facilities but bombing civilians, especially when they’re your own citizens, is a pretty bad look.
To an extent yes, but you’ll have a hard time finding many reasonable people to protest bombing military grade cartel facilities. Many innocent civilians have suffered at the cartels hands and governments the world over are familiar with the extent of the cartels crimes, I don’t think it’d be a significant problem.
You know what they say about eggs and omelets after all
More misinformation, eh? Really going all in with it, huh?
Marriage for same-sex couples nationwide was legalized by the Supreme Court of both countries: Mexico in August 2010, and the United States in June 2015.
As for socialized medicine, Mexico clearly has it, and the United States clearly does not.
Not at all surprising to me. America is deeply reactionary. Made worse by the fact that our electoral system gives disproportionate representation to rural areas.
A person with good ideas that leaves their religion at the door would be swell right now. Religion only divides us into smaller, scarier groups. (See: Christian nationalism, women’s rights, the middle east, etc.)
That said, it is a damn shame Bernie didn’t have a fair chance.
Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run. Just… the choices in this election cycle are wanna-be, half-demented dictator-for-life vs a “moderate” Democrat who, while he’s gotten a surprising amount done, isn’t exactly renowned for pushing the corporations hard on climate change.
Honestly, the stuff he’s gotten done over his career has been life changing for me. I hate that I have to give him credit for legalizing cannabis, but here we are.
Yeah, it’s a pretty frustrating time to be leaning left. And given the chaos Trump would unleash, it’s not like there is any choice at all about whether or not to vote for Biden… 😿
I’ll tell you what I told the previous commenter: They were not all runner-ups, that’s misinformation. The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.
Which is also disgusting, of course, but no, the cartels did not kill off all her competition to get her into office.
They were not all runner-ups, you’re falling for misinformation bullshit (and stop upvoting misinformation, people!). The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.
Which is absolutely fucking horrifying in and of itself, don’t get me wrong, but what you’re saying is just not true.
A Gallup poll at the end of April found that 27% of Americans view immigration as the most important issue facing the country, topping the economy and inflation.
Piss off your own base to appeal to less than a third of the electorate that isn’t going to vote for you anyway.
I find his base to be largely split on this issue. There’s the bleeding hearts who cry for amnesty (Sky Daddy bless their souls) and the at best ambivalent and at worst lipstick racist others.
If the part that’s going to be pissed off is less than what could be won then is the risk worth taking? Some campaign manager must have thought so or this appeal against his own base is a terrible gamble.
Nah they’ll blame the people he alienated. They did it for Hillary, they’ll do it for Biden. They block anything remotely progressive and then wonder why progressives don’t run to the polls for them.
But voting is literally how we decide who is in power, and it cost nothing. SCOTUS being hijacked by radicals is a direct result of the 2016 election. Everyone got together and decided (through the Electoral College) that Trump was the person to lead us. Everyone had a voice. Some chose not to use that.
Everyone got together and decided (through the Electoral College) that Trump was the person to lead us.
Gibberish. Everyone got together and decided that Clinton was the President, then the Electoral College overruled the democratic will of the majority and we got Trump anyway. Everyone has a voice. $ome voices matter more than others.
No, pretty sure it’s everyone who doesn’t find supporting genocide a big enough deal to seek another path for the election. Everyone supporting Biden now is responsible for propping up a bad candidate.
Fair enough, trump’s guys aren’t coming for me first, they are coming for the Gaza protesters, they are coming for abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, they are coming exactly for the rights of people refusing to vote for Biden…it’s sort of ironic. You can read what you are enabling here: …project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.p…
If I had a vote, I’d be voting for the guy stopping trump from killing you, what else do you want me to do, if even you won’t help yourselves in the simplest way possible?
Trump lost the popular vote the last time he won because America isn’t a democracy. I voted against him twice, and the second time I voted against Trump to “stop fascism” all I got for my vote was a fucking genocide.
I want you to stop victim blaming. Our only choices are between polite Hitler and rude Hitler, you don’t know enough about American politics to even understand how fucked we are.
choices are between polite Hitler and rude Hitler[🙈] , you don’t know enough about American politics to even understand how fucked we are.
Oh, I understand more than I’d like to have to, the far right all over the world follows the US circus as their script, with complete liberal complacency.
Okay, just remember that polite Hitler is doing a genocide, and the liberals around the world are right there beside him.
I’ll give Biden one thing: his support for genocide has managed to sink the USs international reputation even further and delegitimize it’s bogus “rules based international order” so badly that now even Mexico is joining the case against Israel in the ICJ. He’s goose stepping the US right off a cliff along with his closest allies, he’s practically the accelerationist choice, and the only alternative is just worse in all sorts of different and stupid ways.
“Polite hitler” doesn’t encourage his groupies to go kill minorities with judicial impunity, shut up with that, it’s like you have nothing to lose, but you have a lot left to lose. There is an objective difference, even if they were the same underneath, by setting an example of abhorrence and dogwhistles for their minions to follow in his country and abroad.
You are enabling, your making the unacceptable choice. No candidate has any more privilege than another. Your making up a narrative, your being dishonest and your goal is cause harm.
If the person who is better for the country loses then it is all of our faults. In a democracy it’s up to the citizens to know the candidates, understand the system and what people can and can’t do, understand how the election system works, and be aware of what the stakes are.
Political campaigns attempt to hold your hand and pull you in a certain direction because it’s in their best interest to do so, but the blame for what happens in January 2025 rests with all of us.
You’re saying “vote for my guy or else” and then acting like it’s my fault hostage takers are going to execute me.
But also, that’s complicated by the fact that America is a blight on the world. The world would literally be better off if this shit hole declines because it can’t fuck with everyone else in the world anymore.
Israel, for instance, wouldn’t be able to do genocide if the US was no longer able to provide weapons and protection.
You’re saying “vote for my guy or else” and then acting like it’s my fault hostage takers are going to execute me.
I did not say who to vote for or even that you should vote. I only made the point that it’s the people’s responsibility to educate themselves on what is possible and the best course of action. (Then when you said you hated the country I asked if that includes the people.)
But also, that’s complicated by the fact that America is a blight on the world. The world would literally be better off if this shit hole declines because it can’t fuck with everyone else in the world anymore.
This is embarrassingly naive. Do you think if the US gets turned upside down — aside from the people living there who don’t deserve to suffer — do you think that the US is going to just tuck away in a corner and the world will be a better place? It would take decades and an incredible amount of suffering before you’d have a US that could not fuck with anyone anymore. If you want to see a former superpower in decline, just take a look at Russia. The more they decline, the more they lash out. The more Putin consolidates power, the more suffering that is caused by the whims of a desperate madman.
You’re deluding yourself because you desperately don’t want the options you see ahead of you to be the only options. I don’t like the options either. But there’s no magical way to have the US get better fast or go away fast.
You make whatever choice you want. But at least try to be rational about it.
Also, the “liberal” media has been hell-bent on scaring people on the border. Truth is, a lot of moderates are concerned about the border. And they determine elections. As president, he is expected to address people’s concerns.
The genocide is one that I can’t get over. I understand the bill that got Ukrainian aid. But he won’t even call it a genocide. Even with Rafah he backpedaled.
I honestly like or at least accept the majority of Biden’s term. But Gaza has been a disaster that he continues to botch.
What’s there to like? The further militarisation of the police? The expansion of Obama’s child caging programme? Housing crisis? Funding Nazis in Ukraine?..
Generally he has leaned progressive when he can. He doesn’t when he can’t. That’s literally all you can expect from him. I’d rather him win the election and continue to do as much good as he can than lose and let Trump do as much damage as he can.
That’s a pretty damned huge exception. Also, the dumbass wall. Also a they’re a lot less restrictive to asylum seekers. Also, he tried to undo Trump’s covid immigration executive order, which got blocked by courts. Actually, they’re quite different. In fact if you think Biden’s policies are bad, you better hope and pray Trump doesn’t get back in.
What you fail to understand is that’s not infinitely worse, that’s somewhat worse.
I have been paying attention, have you? We’re already doing genocide, our prisons are already overflowing, we’re already federally prosecuting protesters, yet somehow you think everything is fine. This election is between rude Hitler and polite Hitler. That’s it.
I’m trans in a red state, no matter who wins the election they’re probably going to take away my hormones and then my life is over. I’ll either become a homeless refugee in a blue state or… do something drastic that would get me banned if I talk about it.
Biden isn’t going to stop them. He hasn’t stopped them from taking away abortion rights, why would he give a shit about me?
I’ve heard the bit about being a homeless refugee in a blue state before from trans people. For you, is it just because of the expense of moving or are there other factors? More expensive housing in general?
I’m paying off a trailer still so I won’t be able to move it, and my resume is dogshit. Also all my family are in red states so that’s not an option.
But the biggest problem is I’ll have to get out of here fast if they decide to restrict my access to hormones. I will not be detransitioned. By any means necessary.
Less restrictive on Asylum seekers? They can’t just cross the border anymore. The BP lets a small number in every day, leaving thousands of people at the mercy of Mexican drug cartels while they wait to cross. They wait to cross because Biden didn’t restore the international standard of declaring asylum on the soil of the country in which you want asylum. Instead he’s trying to force asylum seekers to use an app and visit American consulates in the country they need to flee. And forcing them to stay in the country they need to flee until we tell them it’s okay to leave.
Nothing about this is humane or legal under our own laws or international treaties which we’ve signed and ratified.
Biden undid the covid order in a way he knew would be struck down by the courts. The exact same way we got Trump’s muslim ban struck down. Unlike Trump’s Muslim ban he did not try again until he also made the asylum policy above where anyone availing themselves of the old way gets summarily denied and deported.
He did all of this in plain view and you can’t be assed to find the actual actions, just their PR releases.
It’s not like the Dem base will switch their votes to Trump.
At this point, now that the nominees are decided, the political game is to attract the swing vote, which is mostly “tough on crime,” anti-imigration, and anti-taxation (as it applies to them directly).
Even though none of these policies are actually good for those in the middle.
You’ll still see things like student debt relief getting pushed. But something like immigration reform he has to do to get swing voters and hope his base understands. Otherwise he just won’t have enough votes to win.
I keep seeing people discount Chinese achievement because they 'steal' the tech.
I don't think my country could pull this off even after stealing all the tech.
It's quite an achievement. I hope this'll show people what's coming. China isn't rising anymore. They're rolling out of bed. The next century belongs to them
Wow, you think Teslas are “Chinese EVs”. You’re literally the first person I’ve encountered to think so. Also why lead into an article with a graphic of the least selling vehicle?
Also, Trump isn’t the President. So whatever he may, or may not do, is hypothetical… It’s also irrelevant to what Biden is actually doing…you know, because he’s the current president…
I know. The concern is just that people will run from Biden to someone even worse, not realizing he is even more extreme in his support for Netanyahu. So it seems worth mentioning. I know there’s no ready answer. The electoral system leaves Americans no good options.
How come we aren’t allowed to discuss how bad Biden is being over this without people just saying ‘Trump is worse.’ You can discuss one without bringing up the other. A condemnation of Biden is not supporting Trump. Nobody here was saying lets not vote for Biden. I am voting for him because obviously Trump is worse. But that is literally the only defense of Biden when it comes to all this. “Trump would supply even more bombs to blow up children with.”
That’s literally whats just happened. Those are most likely bombs paid for with my tax dollars and so many of Biden’s cultists refuse to allow you to criticize him.
The problem is it’s been co-opted by Trumpers, Russian bots/influence and right wing nuts.
So unless a comment carries an explicit statement of something along the lines of “Still going to vote for him”, I will treat such comments as simply another attempt to dissuade Biden voters to get Trump in office
As far as i can tell, Biden is historically pro isreal. Openly refers to himself as a zionist. His religion demands that isreal gains power in order to attempt to make the bible only embarrassingly incorrect. His parents instilled in him that due to WWII the Jews are justified in taking the land and this includes their current encroachment. He has been the main and highest paid donar recipient of pro isreal groups for his 5 decades in politics . Changing course now would force a critical evaluation of his 5 decades of blindly giving unwavering support to Israel and recognition that Palestinians are people. Also the US has made enemies of everyone in the region, and Israel gives us a “foot hold” there.
All this makes the finding of a genocide a mere consideration for his polling numbers.
It boggles my mind that you can type out “I’ve already decided everyone who disagrees with me is faking it” and still think of yourselves as reasonable.
Because he is the poster child of conserving the Reagan-enshittified status quo, and the US administration is attempting to continue keeping a leg up on the cold war it desperately wants to continue.
Your analysis is right but I think you mean Zionist lobbies. Many Jews have been vocal and condemn Israel’s action. Just because Israel calls itself a Jewish state dies not mean Jews accept to be assimilated with its actions, far from it.
Biden’s whole campaign is riding on “Look how bad it would be if Trump got elected, this is the most important election of your lives!”, yet he seems far less concerned when he’s asked to win back some voter support by stopping the widely unpopular supply of weapons to Israel…
In October 1991, Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari went to Stanford University to give a talk on the benefits of Latin American neoliberalism, but was met with a demonstration against it.

Almost everyone was shooting on film in 1991, as digital cameras were usualy NTSC resolution or 1024p and very expensive. And B/W film was always cheaper than color but both were quite affordable by the 1990s.
They still had newspapers in the 90s. And some pictures you can only find on old newspaper micro film. So they’re in black and white. Even color printed newspapers would catalog their back issues in black and white.
Four people died and more than two dozen were injured
Some 23 people were injured in the collision, according to Interior Minister Vit Rakusan.
He said that 20 people sustained minor injuries and three were moderately injured.
The trial, which will take place at Kyoto University Hospital from September to August 2025, will treat 30 males aged 30-64 who are missing at least one molar.
Is only testing on men still a thing in science? Since stuff can have different effects between genders, this could be bad for women.
ADepending on the science being done, genders are preferred. In many cases it’s men due to less complex chemistry and internal anatomy. Men are more basic to start off with less risk of imbalance or damage if things go unexpectedly. Considering the nature of what’s being done, this isn’t at all odd for this trial. Sciences doesn’t recognise gender bias unless it’s studying gender bias.
Yeah of course. But as you’re saying, it’s just a little odd. History shows that focusing on one gender does eventually have bad consequences for the other gender.
