Worcester City Manager Eric Batista said in a statement that the city “will never” target individuals passed on their immigration status and that city officials including police do not assist with ICE civil detainments “but may not interfere with it.”

“However, it is the municipality and department’s responsibility to uphold the law and protect the peace of our community,” Batista said. “The series of events was no doubt disturbing and the footage of a family being separated is harrowing … My heart goes out to all those impacted by today’s events and the growing tension we all feel due to the national political climate.”

I read one recently that complained the devs didn't listen to them about this one extremely specific sounding request, and therefore cannot recommend it.

The review was at like 1400 hours, and they played 1900 hours.

Which means for another 500 hours, they continued.

The difference is that us "real" "both-siders" realize and agree that the fascist side is much more imminent and dangerous and therefore tend to ally with the left.

Say more about this. Some news articles. Some journalists. Some academic papers. Something to validate your statement here.

I like to come into these comments because it gives me a fresh batch of new "centralists" to tag.

 
 

NEW YORK, May 7 (Reuters) - UnitedHealth Group (UNH.N) , opens new tab was sued on Wednesday for allegedly concealing how backlash from the killing of a top executive was damaging its business, causing its stock to nosedive after the insurer lowered its 2025 outlook.

In a proposed class action filed in Manhattan federal court, shareholders said the insurer defrauded them after the December 4 shooting of UnitedHealthcare Chief Executive Brian Thompson by shifting away from strategies that led to higher-than-average claims denials, without revealing the impact on profitability.

 

An out-of-town jury from a majority-white county took about 8 1/2 hours over two days to find Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith not guilty on all charges after a nine-day trial in state court in Memphis, which is majority-Black. After the jury’s verdict was read, the defendants hugged their lawyers as relatives of the former officers cried. Outside the courtroom, one relative yelled, “Thank you, Jesus!”

Martin Zummach, Smith’s attorney, told The Associated Press by text: “It’s easy to defend a good person. It’s nerve racking to represent an innocent man. “

 
 

Flash forward to 2025, and the real-life prank lord behind poor Scott has only formed even more elaborate schemes to torment neo-fascists after wetting his beak on scamming Cartman with a few ginger pubes. As Morton recently revealed, he is the troll owner of a fake dating site aimed at far-right singles, and in the coming days, he will finally show us what makes MAGA swipe right

My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.

Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.

And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.

I'm actually pretty happy for this enforcement. I think a lot about accessibility, and car owners that do this are causing a lot of issues.

You may also know from my post history that I'm also a frequent poster in the police problem community, so this is a rare thumbs up to those folks.

I gotta admit, I was pretty amazed when they built Polygon out of scratch. It was just passionate game writers who is wanted to share the content they like reading. The first year was full of great writing. Then it kinda faded into the background, which isnt a problem.

Seeing how that happened gives me hope that a new website filled with passionate game writers will sprout up.

The best PM I ever had was playing zone defense and just deflecting every possible thing that could disrupt the creative team. Let us cook for more than a sprint.

Bad ones are constantly coming up with new requests, mid-sprint adds, don't really have answers, and create more blockers than they resolve.
