A man named Peter, who had escaped slavery, reveals his scarred back at a medical examination in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while joining the Union Army in 1863.

Yup, that's far alright:

Side note: ICE now has a bigger budget than the FBI, DEA and Bureau of Prisons put together.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

What was the justification for that budget?

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

That immigrants are literally an invasive military force that is destroying the US

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago

They're gonna be working hard to justify that budget. Things are going to get a whole lot worse for our American friends. :(

Unfortunately we’re just getting started on building the sanctuary districts, sure would be nice if we could just skip WW3

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Skipping it is exactly what should be done when it is started. Refuse to fight under any circumstances.

Sorry with all due respect I am curious how this ties to the topic of the post? I feel like I'm missing something.

We're bringing slavery back. Edit: not that it ever went away. You're allowed to enslave people as punishment under the 13th amendment. Hence the prison industrial complex.

Right and I agree with that, but unless my client is bugged this post is about technological innovation boom in the 1900s?

[–] OlPatchy2Eyes@slrpnk.net 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

This person is physically incapable of discussing anything else.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today -1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Do just technological innovation? Don't Google this but rockets and turbines and basically whole branches of propulsion, thermodynamics, encryption, flight dynamics, fluid dynamics, computing all had a start in this time frame all related to the old baddy Germany and all might have a rebirth? Not LOL but having all sorts of science groups ignored, refunded and marginalized along with the more personal gender identity, migration status and such, all of that is repeating history.

[–] OlPatchy2Eyes@slrpnk.net 3 points 18 hours ago

Oh well when you put it like that

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 18 hours ago

Yes exactly. Maybe soon we'll be inventing the airplane and the dirigible?
