YSK: 1930s Germany used Jim Crow America as a model, which was a resurgence of Antebellum American racist policies — segregation, imprisonment, enslavement, and homicide.
Unfortunately, at this point, ICE has "Erik Princed" a US city; over a traffic violation. And the Administration is lying, gaslighting, and giving it cover.

Why doesn't my year-in-review look like others' do? It's certainly little fun.
What X-mas themed things do people who hate X‐mas like?
What X-mas themed things do people who hate X‐mas like? - Lemmy.World
Searching for my people, I guess. My partner hates it when I say that Die Hard is my favourite X-mas movie. Or, that I only want socks, underwear, and egg nog. She’s lactose intolerant. Maybe I’m just X-mas intolerant. Anyway, have at ye scallywags! Vent your frustrations! Build me an anti-X-mas list! I’m already celebrating New Year’s over here.

At the bottom are the couch-dwelling viewers beholden to all above. I know I’ve seen this online somewhere, but I can’t remember where. It may have been a cut-scene from a video or a standalone .GIF file. I’m not certain. If anyone in the community has seen this same image, I’d love to know the source.

1st Family Hurricane.
1st Family Hurricane. - Lemmy.World
Trelawny, Jamaica. Not sure what’s happening on the southern side of the island. Being at a resort during a hurricane is peak boring dystopia. The staff calmly fed us breakfast and handed out pack lunches — sandwiches, cereal, and bananas. Fresh towels delivered just in advance of the lockdown. Gas-powered generators provide lights, TV, and Internet. The same fuel the earliest Cat-5 hurricane in Atlantic history. We stay in our room, entertaining two kids and exchange messages with friends back home and the family we travel with. The mattress for our king-size bed covers the patio doors. The staff residence we see below has its windows boarded up. We’ve used two streaming services to watch movies. The false alarm two hours ago showed that our go-bags are ready, and we can head to shelter in under 30 s. They ever actually confirmed it as a false alarm.
