The "supernatural miracle" being the very natural support of human orgs.

Yeah wtf has her God got to do with freeing her lol

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not religious and I don't agree with the train of thought but I would think it's probably something akin to "god sent these people to help me"

That's evolution for ya.

Even some non-human animals can develop superstituous beliefs.

You got my attention, now I'm curious. What animals do that?

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

B.F. Skinner had a paper called "'Superstition' in the Pigeon". This page gives a summary.

[–] Emi@ani.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

Awesome, thank you for the read.

The lead in the pipes is obviously doing these “miracles”

These ICE agents are monsters. Those directing them are even worse.

"Just following orders"

Honestly every single one of them deserves to have their names and faces on public record

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 63 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Just why? It makes no logical sense to take an infant from their mother.

Pure cruelty and lack of thought.

Fire each and every person involved in that decision.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 51 points 3 weeks ago

The cruelty is the point. No one is getting fired.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

If they unlawfully detained her, they should be prosecuted for false imprisonment and be imprisoned themselves upon conviction

[–] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 54 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Daily reminder to all my non-American homies. For the love of god do not travel to the US unless you absolutely have to.

The risk is not worth it and they dont deserve your money.

Find somewhere else to vacation. Limit it to absolutely necessary travel only.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

I was just at a get together yesterday, and even standard white citizens are afraid to leave the country, fearing they'll have a hard time when they return. We're hearing lots of stories of people being grilled about their social media accounts, their opinions of the government and the president, etc. Eventually they'll start turning away American citizens for their political views, stranding them in another country without documentation.

Cancelles plans to go over next year, it can wait twenty years until you guys get a grip again.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

20? Wow. Someone is optimistic.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

US ineptitude fortunately goes both ways.

Imagine being given the starting point a foot short of the finishing line and fumbling the win.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 53 points 3 weeks ago

The cruelty is the point, as ever.

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 50 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why?

"If you don't look Aryan, we want you to feel like this is not a country you're welcome in. Get out." Is the message they're passing, with illegal cruelty as the medium.

[–] deltapi@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago

I was 'welcome home'd by a US CBP officer after flying into Washington from Africa...I'm not an American, and don't have American residency, but I'm white and speak with a neutral dialect.

I think you're right.

[–] ef9357@lemmy.world 48 points 3 weeks ago

Cruelty is the point. These fuckers have no souls.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 44 points 3 weeks ago

Having immigration control interfere with healthcare facilities is disgusting

[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 41 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Babies need to feed around the clock. Our humanity disappearing fast.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This isn't new. In the first administration, they were separating nursing mothers, and non-verbal toddlers. Despite the efforts of the Biden administration, nearly 1000 children have still not been reunited with their parents, and likely never will be.

And that doesn't include the kids who ended up trafficked as sex workers or house slaves.

That policy was never properly investigated. If we ever get out of this, it will be important to investigate EVERY allegation of criminal activity by the MAGA Nazis, and prosecute every perpetrator. No mercy, no forgiveness.

[–] propofool@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Just one scandal to the next. Their blitzkrieg is exhausting (and by design).

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 38 points 3 weeks ago

This is misogyny at work. They have no idea how painful a milk blockage can be, and if there was a female officer present she was not heard.

Of course this is only one aspect of everything that is wrong here.

[–] Marsupial@quokk.au 32 points 3 weeks ago

I work with little babies and this makes me so mad knowing how traumatic this would be.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 24 points 3 weeks ago

The cruelty is the point

It's what they enjoy

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 24 points 3 weeks ago (18 children)

Anyone who didn't vote for Harris contributes to this.

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why couldn't the democrats come up with a progressive candidate instead of making this a rightwing vs rightwing race? Aren't political parties supposed to make people want to vote for them?

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Both are true here.

Yeah the Democrats absolutely shit the bed, and still are. But also it was clear that this president was not willing to uphold the constitution, was corrupt and incompetent. If you didn't care enough to focus on stopping Trump you weren't taking the situation seriously.

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I am not allowed to vote in the US, so you definitely can't blame it on me lol

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Sorry, meant you in the abstract. Not you specifically.

The US is a no travel zone for me, on par with Russia.
