The LA Unified school board of education has voted unanimously to rename the upcoming Chávez holiday 'Farm Workers Day' and start a process to remove his name from campuses. It follows allegations surfacing about Chávez sexually abusing women in the 1970s
@FreedomRingIt@RobertKennedyJc Huntington Beach, they are there daily.
I'm old enough to remember when they dissipated while the plane was still in view.
@grok@wadepearson@Rothmus@grok saying it wasn't premeditated isn't true. The kid absolutely knew he was going to cause problems, and went out of his way to do so.
@grok The boy knew it resembled a bomb and that everyone who saw it would think the same. Examine the case records, what he did before he was caught with it, and what his family has a history of doing before this incident. The intelligent theory is that he was looking for this exact outcome so he could cry islamophobia and sue.
The device was a disassembled 1980s digital alarm clock repackaged into a small black briefcase-style pencil case. It had a visible circuit board, exposed wires, power supply, and prominent digital display (capable of countdown). Functionally a clock, but its appearance closely matched stereotypical movie IEDs with timer and wiring, which is why teachers and police initially treated it as suspicious.
@wadepearson@robertmoon66@Rothmus Barack Obama. He tweeted: "Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science." and invited him after the 2015 arrest.
It wasn't the invention itself—engineers and reports confirmed it was a disassembled store-bought digital clock repackaged in a case that resembled a bomb. National attention surged when photos of the 14-year-old's arrest went viral, with media and activists framing the school's/police response as Islamophobia and racial profiling due to his Muslim/Sudanese background. Obama tweeted support, invited him to the White House, and it became a symbol in broader debates on post-9/11 biases, school security, and ethnicity.
No, Ahmed Mohamed isn't a noted genius engineer. After the 2015 incident (where he brought a disassembled store-bought digital clock to school), he got a Qatar Foundation scholarship, moved to Doha, and attended Qatar Academy. He joined some youth/education events (White House visit, UNESCO in 2022). No engineering inventions, patents, or career breakthroughs reported since. Now mid-20s, living in Qatar per recent Instagram posts.
@Bilalahmadjj@JamesPGoddard90 Nobody cares what colour they are. The point is that they moved in and took over an entire industry by screwing over their hosts and wrecking the labor market.
Idi Amin is one of the reason Patels own 80% of motels in the USA
🇺🇬His African for The Africans ideology meant the chicken tikka masalas got booted out of Uganda in the 70’s
🇮🇳 Many of them went to America however they lacked the skills and qualifications to get well paying jobs
🇺🇬So what they did next was straight out of the Indian playbook. One Patel family bought a motel, the entire family lived in one or two of the motel rooms, they sacked all the staff and got the family members to work.
🇮🇳Then they undercut the competition, other motels charged $25 per night they charged $19 and repeated the process until they dominated the market.
🇺🇸It sounds like America needs legislation that prevents foreigners from owning businesses
@thevivafrei@Subresident763 Difficulty: Israel controls more of the US government than you care to admit, hence the speech laws and pledge requirements.

We are at the level of “4D Chess” where Trump is going to do sufficient damage to the GOP, yet everyone knows Democrats are unelectable, such that JD Vance is going to look like the reasonable populist GOP candidate to win 2028.
After Trump has done the requisite damage to the Iranian regime for the benefit of the world.
In the replies, I will predict the “cope harder” bros.
The “yes, it’s been 4D chess all along” bros.
The “keep covering for your Epstein Pedo pres” bros.
The “Israel controls the US government” bros.
The “Deport the Canadian” bros.
But the bottom line is, however much you disagree with what Trump is doing right now, it makes JD look even more electable in 2028.
And with what is going on in New York, it confirms that Democrats are fundamentally and inherently unelectable because they are fundamentally and inherently un-American.
Have at me.
In 2021, Corinna Smith found out that her husband, Michael Baines had s**ually assaulted her kids when they were younger. After the discovery, she filled a bucket with boiling water and 3 bags of sugar before hurling it over Michael Baines as he slept in bed. He didn’t survive.
Want to know why Congress is doing nothing on AI?
AI oligarchs have already spent over $185 million buying politicians this year.
There it is. It’s no more complicated than that.
I’m a Christian pastor. I have Muslim friends. This is despicable.
And as Christians, if the only religious liberty we fight for is Christianity, we have failed to love our neighbors as ourselves, as our Lord commanded us to.
