A lot of people are influenced by alt-right news (Fox News, Newsmax, OAN) who keep repeating the false claim that undocumented immigrants are mostly gangsters and violent criminals. In truth, undocumented immigrants are way less likely to commit a violent crime than an average American citizen.

Trump said, regarding the first deportation flight:

Three hundred people sitting on a plane. Every single one of them is either a murderer, a drug lord, a kingpin, the head of the mob, or a gang member

Yet none of those deportees had any criminal conviction in either country (according to Newsweek, a slightly-right news source).

The DNC is holding a meeting at the ritzy $400-a-night resort over the weekend to choose a new party chair, a move that took on urgency after the Democrats took a beating at the ballot box in November. State party chairs Ben Wikler of Wisconsin, Ken Martin of Minnesota, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley have the most votes so far

Hey, I recognize that name. I sent a letter to Ben Wikler a couple months ago, demanding that the next DNC chair NOT be a neoliberal, and saying that I wouldn't offer any more support to any neolib candidates. This was based on the assumption that he would be the one representing me for the purpose of choosing the next DNC chair. I never really expected he could be the one selected for it. I hope he's as progressive as I've heard.

It seems unlikely to me that there are 120k or 130k South Koreans in the United States without legal immigration status. They probably have visas that can be revoked more easily.

Someone you know may be pregnant with twins.

I am told by everyone I know that Real Chili is an iconic Milwaukee restaurant. However, I get food poisoning literally every time I eat there. I think they've been shut down by the health inspector several times, but they seem to be in business right now.

I agree with other posters: go to any diner, Denny's, Perkins, or Waffle House and order their largest breakfast. You don't have to eat it all.

You should label your images if they are AI generated.

Phyllis Fong is a hero. We could get through this more easily if more people acted like her.

A lot of agency workers were offered 9 months severance to quit, but they chose to stay on.

Don't forget The Measure of a Man. We literally watched that in 9th grade American History, as a commentary about slavery.

I've done this with Debian before, and it works fine. Linux usually mounts the root filesystem based on its UUID, so it doesn't matter if changing the motherboard caused a change from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb .

If you use the proprietary Nvidia driver, make sure to update it to a version that supports the new video card. If you use the open source Nvidia driver, you should be fine even if it's old, because it will at least support starting up in an unaccelerated mode.

Why do they put his ugly, ugly face on every fucking article? It adds nothing, and detracts a lot.

You get more protection from your credit card company than Paypal. If your item doesn't arrive or doesn't work, you can file a chargeback and get a full refund. It's worked for me every time I tried it (Visa card from Royal Credit Union).
