Yes, the duopoly will continue the status quo.

You can also search through instances by clicking one, then clicking communities.

I don’t believe the duopoly.

I think he will break his promise of releasing the JFK files.

True!

I wonder if the numbers will have an impactful change when comparing the people that said they would move out of the U.S. due to 2016/2020/2024.

That would require money, which most of the working class does not have.

The people spewing this rhetoric are those higher up the food chain; moving out of the US was also said in 2016 and 2020.

But what does it take to move to Canada? Is it even possible for Americans? And how difficult would it be? In short, it’s not an easy journey, but it can be done.

To gain permanent residency and, eventually, citizenship, the process is complicated. You must be 18 years old. Then, you can apply several different ways — via specific provinces, via a special entrepreneur route, with help from a family member or spouse already living in Canada or through Québec, which has special immigration requirements, Business Insider reported.

The more skills you have, including fluency in English and French, the higher you’ll “score” on applications, making you all the more likely to gain residency.

Skilled workers are able to apply for residency via a fast track, called the Express Entry system. Under that, skilled workers are transitioned into new roles in the country and given scores based on their talents and job prospects when they apply that then contribute to where they’re placed and if they’re placed. Those with top scores are given permanent residency on a Canadian work visa.

Once a permanent residence, you’re entitled to healthcare coverage and are able to work, study and travel anywhere in the country. But, you can’t vote, run for office or hold certain jobs with top security clearances.

Permanent residents could lose their status if they aren’t in Canada for at least 730 of the days during the first five years of their tenure, and to continue it after five years, they must meet that requirement and then declare their intent to stay Canadian. The only exception is for Crown servants or their families working on behalf of Canada abroad.

Those requirements must be met plus some to become a citizen. Permanent residents have to be physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days in the first five years of their permanent residency — more specifically before the date their applications are signed. Consistency is key — inconsistency in living and simply being in Canada can be a red flag to immigration officers reviewing citizenship applications.

Income tax filings have to be sent for three years of that five-year period leading up to the date of the application signing, which is to show the Canadian authorities that the individual’s job is legit. You must also speak English or French, not necessarily fluently, but you have to be able to prove that you can make small talk in one of those languages, including giving directions and using basic grammar and being able to describe yourself.

A general knowledge of Canada is also required, including history, values and other institutions and symbols of Canada. The test is written but can be delivered orally.

Even then, there are a number of reasons why an application can be denied despite meeting the aforementioned requirements. Any crimes committed within four years of the application submission are likely to disqualify a prospective citizen.

X users flocked to the social media platform, which is owned by Elon Musk, to vent their frustrations and discuss their plans. Many joked about moving to Canada amid the results, like user @desjjong, who wrote, Chat if yall fumble this country’s election im moving to Canada or sum s—."^[1]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Here’s the part where you form your opinion. The act of killing your own people to avoid a capture instinctively sounds terrible. But also consider what it means to be captured and likely tortured for an indeterminate time.

“this is a sad tactic but it’s a part of war”

“Friendly Fire” is a term used in military situations, but killing your own people on purpose, I do not see that as being a “sad tactic.”

The article explains what happens when Israelis are taken hostage; a hostage exchange happens, which Israel does not want to do; that is why the Hannibal Directive was used on October 7th with civilians.

Since many were being taken hostage, while we also know how they were being treated by Hamas, the article explains and other interviews show what the hosatges said while being hostages of Hamas.

Yes, it seems the duopoly will align with anyone except the working class.

I disagree, but thanks for letting me know your disdain for those outside the duopoly.

Having higher standards than the duopoly is all you need!

We must continue to unite the working class against the owner-class while building up our grassroots movements to help our communities!

Oh, thanks for that information!

https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-remove-taliban-terrorist-list-vladimir-putin-envoy-zamir-kamulov/

Russia’s foreign ministry and security service “are putting finishing legal touches” on the removal, said Kamulov, adding that the final decision will “hopefully” be announced soon.

“We once again appeal to Western countries with an urgent call to acknowledge responsibility for the post-conflict reconstruction of Afghanistan, lift sanctions restrictions, and return Kabul’s appropriated assets,” he said during the opening remarks of the meeting, where Taliban’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi had also been present.

Russia has slowly been normalizing relations with the Taliban after it seized power in Afghanistan in 2021 following the withdrawal of the U.S. forces after 20 years of war. Since then, the Taliban has imposed harsh restrictive laws on women in particular, including banning them from speaking in public.

No international government has recognized the Taliban administration, but China and United Arab Emirates have accepted its ambassadors in their capitals.

Thanks for the link and for letting us know!

Thanks for sharing with us, we are not alone!

Oh, @InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works seems to have found the likely cause.

I am on a well-known VPN, and the same thing happens once in a while.

On Destop and on the Lemmy apps (Jerboa, Infinity for Lemmy, etc.).

I am not sure if connection is lost while making post, but rarely it goes through.

I do double check before I redo the post again to try to make sure I don’t create a duplicate post.

On my end, it may be my connection to wifi or some setting on my system that losses connection.

Again, it happens once in a while, so I know when it does not go through and keeps loading to post, I will have to exit and start over to create a new post.

Edit: format and added more information

Thanks for sharing this great song with us!

Another must listen:

Eminem - Mockingbird (Official Music Video) [04:17 | Rap, In English, USA, Conscious Hip-Hop, Lullaby, Hip-Hop, Detroit Rap, Midwest Rap] https://youtu.be/S9bCLPwzSC0

Possibly the least offensive Eminem song ever, this Encore track is directed and dedicated to his daughters. Eminem acknowledges that growing up with his media image and Kim’s drug problem made for a difficult upbringing, not to mention their poverty-stricken beginnings. The lyrics are a personal, undisguised account of his early relationship with his wife and daughters. Critics praised the song for its lyrics. This song mixes an original rap dialogue about Eminem’s failed marriage, as he apologizes to his daughters with a straight melodic version of the traditional “Mockingbird” lullaby called “Hush, Little Baby”. The second verse is about the difficulties including Kim and Eminem’s divorce and the beginning of Eminem’s fame.^[1]

"Temporary” is the 15th track on Eminem’s album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), dedicated to his only biological daughter, Hailie.

In this heartfelt song featuring his long-time collaborator Skylar Grey, Eminem reflects on his fears of not being able to communicate his feelings to Hailie once he’s gone. Emphasizing the importance of family and staying strong through tough times, he assures Hailie that while pain and heartbreak are inevitable, they are “temporary.” The track includes personal anecdotes and recordings of conversations between him and the young Hailie, which add to the song’s authenticity and intimacy.

In an episode of her podcast, Hailie mentioned that this song particularly made her “audibly sob.” The song’s cover, teased as a single on Instagram, features a young Hailie on the background stage of the iconic The Eminem Show cover, with a note written on the side reading, “To my daddy, Love ya, from Hailie.”

A visual for the song was released on October 3rd, in which Hailie surprises Em with the news that he is going to be a grandfather.^[2]
