Whether they did or not is almost irrelevant: information doesn't reach humans instantaneously, it takes time to propagate through channels with varying latency, it gets amplified/muted depending on media bias, people generally have things going on in life other than staying glued to new sources, etc.
If you take a cross sample you're guaranteed to observe contradictory "parallel" information even if the source is serially consistent.
In this case, give them and the company responsible a court summons?
Instead they detained all the Koreans in the building and appear to have used them as a negotiating chip in an upcoming “deal” with the government of South Korea. This is behavior we expect of a banana republic not an allied nation of laws.
To the people who already lived in NA before we settlers took over, we were the "illegals". The irony of xenophobic fear of immigrants will never cease to amuse me. (signed, a descendant of Zacharie Cloutier)
It's not really that ironic. The native Americans fought and lost. If they had their way there would be no USA or settlers. Where is the irony in this?
It seems the lesson is that if foreign people want to come and live here, they better come with an army and be prepared to fight. Another lesson is that if you let them in they will displace you and diminish your autonomy.
What’s happening today is that megacorps are bringing in people illegally to dump the salaries of the locals and for some reason the left, which should fight for the working rights of the locals, is siding with the revenue of the billionaires.
Like people, maybe? What is the point of treating them like violent criminals other than to dehumanize them? Is it really any more effective than one guy reviewing the payroll and passing out fines until the issues are resolved?
Besides, they haven't been charged with anything so in the US they are considered innocent.
Which is why they are being flown home. I see no dehumanizing going on. They were detained because they had no right to be in the country. You are putting a spin on
this that simply doesn't exist.
I'm frankly baffled. You have a large capitalist corporation, flouting the laws of the country they're in and exploiting cheap labour. The US are simply enforcing the law like you would expect from any non banana republic. I can't think of in issue where the left should be so aligned with the government. It's a scandal and i hope the executives get held to account.
What's the point of reading something while drinking my coffee quietly?
When I'm drinking my coffee I focus on enjoying the palate, when I'm reading I am laser-focused on processing and retaining information.
Multitasking prevents me from attaining the full benefits of these exquisite activities. If need a mindless task while I'm sipping my morning brew I can always count primes backwards or stare at the other hipster in the coffee shop.
GMail is the most popular email provider by a wide margin. Denying service to the largest cohort of email users is indeed surprising, ridiculous, and self-defeating.
On the contrary: it's a decent filter for folks who would be very unlikely to be able to follow the instructions to set up and maintain their end of the tunnel.
(It also happens to be a fantastic filter for spammers and other abusers. Is it perfect? Hell no. But it is very good.)
I can setup email on my own domain, but I don't want to. It isn't worth my time or money. This doesn't mean that I can't follow tunnel broker instructions.
Gmail rejects mailing list messages that every other email provider accepts. It is impossible to get a human at Google to look at these issues. That's kinda the worst of all worlds. At least other email providing companies have support teams that can be talked to when things go off the rails.
Most illegal immigrants entered the country legally and are overstaying on expired visas.
Given the federal government is actively revoking and eliminating massive amounts of visas, they are essentially creating "illegal" immigrants with the stroke of a pen.
If people actually cared about stopping people entering the country illegally, it would be as easy as extending all resident visas and these communities would be happy to turn on the bad actors they moved here to run from.
No one is arguing that it's legal. But it's unfair and misleading to characterize all illegals as willful lawbreakers when what actually happens is usually just a legal rug pull.
The government can change the terms of the visas on a whim. If you've lived in the US with your family for decades and they decide to deny a renewal with no recourse, what realistically are you going to do?
The reality is that most people are illegal simply because both politicians benefited from slapping the label on people for so long. You get the benefit of immigration, but you can pretend to be tough on it, and also deprive large swaths of your working class from expensive benefits and rights.
The existing laws are unfair, unjust, and immoral. Lumping in a huge portion of the working class together with actual drug runners and criminals is an intentional and preventable error.
Because I care very little about "legality" of what people do to a virtual entity that we all call "the united states", with all its made up rules.
I learned it from the US itself, and how it treats the rest of the world. Legality is optional and subject to political considerations, and desire for money and power.
He was mistakenly given write access by the treasury department employees in charge of managing DOGE permissions. He resigned a day later, likely before he even realized he had write access. In that short window, he accessed the system "exclusively under the supervision of Bureau database administrators", and the initial treasury department investigation did not find any misuse of said write permissions.
I don't see how this can be blamed on DOGE. If anything it shows that DOGE employees are closely monitored, and their access is minimized and audited.
The contract, with a company called D&G Support Services, was to provide “program and technical support services” for the Office of Diversity and Civil Rights at ICE.
... the federal award, approved in September 2022, had initially listed a total value of $8 billion. But on Jan. 22 this year, that figure was updated to $8 million.
DOGE involvement aside, that right there is not exactly the exculpatory evidence NY Times thinks it is.
