We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

GOP motto.
So will Trump deport him or shoot him?
That depends. Did he stop kissing his ring?
Frankly, if there was a transsexual M13 member that illegally crossed the border, murdering several border guards and in her way ate a cat, as long as she would express support of trump she wouldn't have anything to worry about.
They think they will be immune. But they are wrong.
Republicans don't care about the past. That's why they are currently trying to repeat Germany 1933.
More like Italy in the 1920s onwards. All Nazis are fascists, but not all fascists are Nazis.
For example, Nazis were big into public works projects and pretending to be socialists, both of which are anathema to the current American Fascist Party/GOP
Edit to clarify: I'm not saying that the MAGA cult aren't as bad as Nazis, in case there's any doubt. They're just a different shit flavor of fascists that are roughly as evil and deranged as the Nazis, Italian fascists, and Franco's fascists
Marco reading Wikipedia: awkwardly takes a sip of water.
Daaaaaang, yo. 🔥
Rules for thee, not for me.
Something ~~shady~~ happened, y'all.
How is the Cuban Missile Crisis associated with Pedro Victor Garcia's deportation order being overruled on the same day?
The embargo and blockade of Cuba and the US's stance on asylum for anyone fleeing communist countries. I'm not sure when the asylum policy was put in place but the sentiment had to be there before or was implemented. "Better dead than red" was common saying from the time and later.
I think I get what you're saying, but as far as I can tell, policy with that sentiment wasn't in place until ~4 years later. This dude was set to be deported as ordered by an immigration judge in Miami, then it was mysteriously overturned without any public explanation. It is unbelievable to me that an immigration judge in Miami in 1962 was not aware of a policy that gave Cubans residency for being here.
So the immigration event was a precurser to the Cuban missile crisis?
Obviously no. The immigration event is an effect caused by the crisis. I do appreciate the logic though
That's odd, considering the immigration was before the crisis by about a month and a half.
When was the hearing(s)?
I always find it really odd when people flee "communist" states. They certainly weren't communist then, and I would appreciate if they wouldnt be called that way...
No different than places which call themselves democratic.
