Just so you know that website only has these things to try and bait people into spending on AI bullshit:

https://www.amendment.app/pricing

No one that matter is going to care about any petition from the website.

You should be doing voter outreach, rather than leaving ignorance to rot and hoping that on the slim chance this somehow works, it never just gets undone.

Not even getting into how they're almost definitely selling the information anyone put ion there.

If you don't want to do voter outreach, call the existing politicians and the candidate challenging them directly.

Don't fucking run thru some shitty ai technro website while handing them all your information.

I know it's easier, but it's way less effective and people doing ineffective things makes them lose motivation to do anything effective

What a shitty article...

What does one expect from the US?

So they made them leave. But the waste will not vanish. They will continue to look for a place to dump it.

If I'd be living in the area, I'd ask around about similar projects...

Dave Bushaw responded on other services so I'm reposting on Loops.

Nice. Fight on!

I wonder how this will affect their voting manners

Truckers don’t buy petrol, they buy diesel fuel.

And for the UK audience reading this, they’re getting forgot to put in the £ conversion. It’s about £1.13/L or €1.31 for diesel fuel. What a joke.

I assume there will be a protest there. Does anyone have details on exact location for that? I don't live in that area so I'm not really in touch with activists there.

the DMR article is almost more frustrating, now I know more about the situation but none of the information actually helps me know who's at fault here. smells like the exonerative tense was used in a couple places but I cant tell which direction.

If it's a shooting or something like that or a bank robbery, we really need somebody here, you know, full time, basically

Where does that person think they live? 1960s Harlem? They live in Mitchellville, Iowa. Most likely they're going to see an uptick in loitering.

Drama galore.

Polk County is providing policing currently.

Here is another article with more details that lays it out better. https://www.pressreader.com/usa/the-des-moines-register/20251226/281771340546608

The turn out was solid around my area. Mt Vernon even got a call out on one of the late night shows. Lots of youth out there protesting for their future and fighting against both a fascist federal regime and the shitty Iowa Republican legislature as well. I was stoked to see both young and old people out there marching together, despite the huge generation gap. It gives me some faith that not all Iowa is lost, but it's a tough battle giving the fuckery by those in charge.

oh totally agree. was not trying to suggest it was more saying I can totally see having that.

They've already proven they'll lie to try to sway public opinion. I don't care what they were doing we aren't supposed to be in a country that disappears people

Nope, don't care. None of our business. Simply having money is not a crime. It is a distraction for us to feel like him simply having items in his car justifies being disappeared.

Even if he was actively committing a crime it is not justification for being disappeared.

I mean I currently can't see 3k but I could imagine a scenario were I might. I mean thats like 1k five years ago.

Given the other ice statements directly contradicting video I don't believe them unless they are corroborated by a better source

Especially in Iowa. I think it was all played up to make people not feel bad for him when really it doesn't matter at all

A lot of people are calling out that the contents of the car were fabricated, and a good other chunk are saying that it's Iowa, literally not a surprise at all about what's in his car.

Either way I say good, they've been asleep to what's happening for too long, let Iowans see what's happening in other cities. That there is no "but he's one of the good ones"

Hell man you're a really sweet person, and sorry I didn't respond earlier. Wanted to take the time to write this.

Let me first say, I'm what most people consider a weird person, and I wear weird stuff, and I get all sorts of comments and looks. I enjoy it even when it's hostile.

I appreciate people who are genuine, as opposed(and sorry for the lack of better term) posers. If you try to express your true self with a distinct style and look, and just trying to be outside what you feel inside you have my respect. God knows I don't see many such people.

Farm work sure sounds fun, and I bet you look natural in that hat. One of the lucky few that can pull it off.

Keep it real cowboy!!👑

I really hope they get the union. I have a friend who is a nurse in Iowa and he has confirmed how it's rare they get any breaks, are constantly overworked and hardly ever get two days off in a row. If Unity point is fighting it this hard it's because they know they owe everything they have to their nursing staff but want to keep it at the top.

That's fine. I was only curious because I'm a cowboy hat guy. I wouldn't like his for me because of that point at the front of the brim. I'm not necessarily what you think of when you think of cowboy but I look at it like baseball caps. Even if you're not a member of your favorite sports team no one calls anyone out for repping it. It's what you're comfortable and happy with.

Of course I'm biased because I work on my buddy's ranch in my spare time because I like riding horses, tossing hay, and hanging out. I grew up in a place where half the town wore one. It's good sun protection. One of the guys at the ranch because of that.

All of that said, I'm not trying to change your mind. Your opinion isn't hurting anyone and you're not lobbying to have people in cowboy hats declared mentally ill. And honestly I don't trust most of the people I know who wear them because there are a bunch of loud jackasses. I'm just here because I enjoy a good conversation where we can disagree and still walk away friendly. Because that shit is hard to do in today's world. I can't do that if someone says "Trans people should be locked up" or "I didn't let a ripped man who died on a cross come inside me to allow homosexuals to live". So I'm out here talking cowboy hats with someone who disagrees and enjoying it.

I appreciate your sentiment, thank you kind person.

I think they look ridiculous in general, they look very clumsey. also on some people they look even more ridiculous. This guy doesn't strike me as a "cowboy" so is hard to take seriously all that show.
