@sun @ageha There were 4 Salvadoran air force guys in a humanitarian mission in Haiti, flying rescue and logistics planes for the international mission. Haitian gangs kidnapped them, Bukele gave them an ultimatum to release the captives and go their own ways with no repercussions, the gangs being the retarded niggers that they are instead filmed themselves threatening the Salvadoran forces.
Bukele ordered 2000 servicemen to go to Haiti and start gigamurdering crime niggers until the captives are recovered, sparing only the leaders that they want to capture and those that turn themselves in. As expected, because gangs are coddled by law enforcement and know no real combat, they got completely bulldozed with several gangs no longer existing after a week, and there's probably a few hundred dead by now. I don't think the Salvadoran forces have any losses yet. Haitian civilians celebrate them as liberators.

To the surprise of no one, Haiti is easily solvable with rifles.

@misty Download Suspended would be a good name for an album too

@ageha from what I understand haitian gangs murdered some salvadoran nationals (like civilian pilots or something) and bukele now is erasing the gangs, capturing and arresting their heads, very quickly trhough military action. which is interestng because it's demolished the "mystique" of haitian gangs as unstoppable "cool" force.

Imagine it’s May 2027.

Democrats control Congress. Six months have passed. We’ve had televised hearings, endless investigations, viral speeches, and strongly worded statements.

But no resignations. No removals. No meaningful consequences. Nobody held accountable.

That wouldn’t be justice. That would be impunity with a Democratic majority.

Americans didn’t vote to replace Republican abuses of power with Democratic political theater. They voted for change.

Every abuse must be exposed. Every subpoena enforced. Every credible allegation of criminal wrongdoing pursued through the justice system. Every official responsible held accountable.

And let’s be clear: Congress cannot prosecute crimes itself. But it can uncover evidence, compel testimony, pursue impeachment, and demand independent prosecutions.

If Democratic leadership lacks the courage to use its power, then Democratic leadership must change.

Don’t wait six months to discover that nothing has changed. Demand accountability now.

What would you be doing Now if you knew this was going to enfold?

Democracy cannot survive if those who attack it never face consequences.

Night and the City (1950)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_and_the_City

This weird design makes both main actors look up and to the left, so we're all staring at that guy behind bars, but they're not prison bars, right? They're weirdly angled? It's confusing and awkward.

Note the slight hint in that background image that the city in question is London.

Everything I'll ship will be Web-first, desktop second and then mobile third. That's just the fact of the matter when it comes to serving the public.

From the technical side anyone can spin up their own Lemmy instance and view all votes, but I'm curious at what the community's perspective on how "private" that is. I think Mbin already shows upvoters? Piefed allows anonymous voting. I also know there are sites which show all voting history, but assuming those are fairly disliked.

My general questions to the community: - Do you expect your votes to be private, or just not shown in the UI? - Would per-voter votes showing up on another aggregator platform bother you, even though your instance already shares them with other servers?

For context I'm the dev doing some two way bridge interop between atproto + Threadiverse, in atproto the votes/likes are generally publicly accessible, you just look at the users repo through something like pdsls.dev, they're readable and archivable by anyone. In my opinion this isn't that big of a problem since it's fairly hard to look at and discern (Ex all my votes: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:lmdkqemqrqnfiix72pyjhfey/social.coves.feed.vote). Ultimately trying to figure out if there's already a mutual understanding that they are public and we can just mirror them or whether they should stay hidden as an aggregate.

@ageha it is superficially similar to trump threatening mexican cartels or invading venezuela but the difference seems to be that: haitian gangs actually did start this and are doing something directly bad that had to get the el salvadoran government involved; bukele actually did it not just bluster (like trump against cartels); succeeding (unlike trump and iran); a lot of people in haiti are cheering this on because the gangs are bad and people hate them
