You said statistically, and Latino men in that country weren't in the majority for Trump. But like I said, if you're really going full statistics, non-voters tend to be the biggest group (just, we don't exactly have exit polls for them, lol)

I used to contribute to Quora when I was in grad school, since I was actually learning a lot of the stuff people wondered about. Between lack of mods and their monetization schemes though, can't do that anymore lol

Reminds me why I stopped going to quora. Do they just not have a way to moderate leading questions? Those people obviously know they're just posting their BS in the form of a question, jeopardy style.

Subbed in any case. Lol

Vote in primaries, find and fundraise better candidates, and so on. It's not going to do much in the short term, but parties have major platform changes every generation.

I wouldn't assume that given his county, so try not to make it a leopard eating face / victim blaming story without evidence.

Plus if you're really thinking statistics, he's likely a non-voter and in CA one could hardly blame him if that was the case (our general election votes literally do not matter).

I like this analogy and generally avoid using GPS (admittedly it's out of laziness lol). The most insane part to me is I live where everything is on a grid and somehow people are still impressed I can figure out how to get places, even without having been there. GPS brain is real.

Heard the recording, guy sounds so Chicano it's so obvious he's from here. Local NPR station covered it a bit, people know they're going to get racially profiled and keep their passports on hand, but even that's not a guarantee.

Sadly it's not even the first time this has happened. It's everytime there's an increased effort by ICE. I think they put it well when they said it's akin to Stop and Frisk laws in NY that caused a lot of racial profiling.

That was my thought, having followed the social media coverage of recent unrest in Iran over hair covering and so on. Iran does need regime change, but Israel is definitely not the right people to do it. No idea the solution, but I hope people can find a way to stay safe.

Bad news except you can't trust TV either. Or reading the news, lately. At least regardless of the medium, general advice carries-- double check sources, learn which are credible, etc.

I just hope people are following links and not just reading headlines, right? ...Right?

Downey rules. And I'm not just saying that because of Porto's (but also kinda yeah).

You know what's fucked? How much we really do need a public utility option for cell phones (and Internet). But this ain't it, fam. Oof

Sometimes the alt text makes the image even better. I saw one from Shen comics the other day that went above and beyond on that alt text.
