On this day in 1917, a deputized posse in Bisbee, Arizona kidnapped more than 1,300 striking miners, their supporters, and bystanders, deporting them to New Mexico, more than 200 miles away. The miners were organized by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), and had been on strike since June 26th.
The action was orchestrated by Phelps Dodge, the major mining company in the area, which provided lists of workers and others who were to be arrested to the Cochise County sheriff, Harry C. Wheeler.
The 16-hour journey was through desert without food and with little water. Once unloaded, the deportees, most without money or transportation, were warned against returning to Bisbee. The U.S. government soon brought in members of the US Army to assist with relocating the deportees to Columbus, New Mexico.
Phelps Dodge, in collusion with the sheriff, had closed down access to outside communications, so the story was not well reported at the time.
Although a federal commission concluded the kidnapping was done "wholly illegal and without authority in law, either State or Federal" and the U.S. Department of Justice ordered the arrest of 21 Phelps Dodge executives, no individual, company, or agency was ever convicted in connection with the deportations.

timothee chalamet isn't a comedic actor, he doesn't have an inmate grasp on comedic timing and delivery. Having him do a young Gene Wilder just isn't going to work.
Oscar isaac is going to solemnly stand beside him and say "that's chocolate power"
Sure, I suppose:
- When she was like 5, she fell out of a car going down the highway at full speed and only got cuts and bruises (This was during the early 40s though, so the speed limit was probably much lower.)
- She met my Grandpa after he offered to drive her home after her old bf lost all his money for a trip back from gambling
- She was for some unknown reason always watching crime documentaries whenever we visited.
- When she was 20, she looked almost exactly like one of my cousins.
- She’s the reason that whenever someone says “Home again”, my mind autocompletes it with “…Home again, jiggity jig”.
- She took me to see Rango when I was 5. That was pretty fun.
home again home again, jiggity jig
these are really sweet, thank you for sharing
Also falling out of a car lmao what a trooper
She was for some unknown reason always watching crime documentaries whenever we visited
Just making sure they hadn't caught on to her yet

ten years in the joint made you a fuckin pussy, waltuh
Napoleon movie with TYRANT title card trailer still spawns 100000 discourses around "is napoleon good or bad". Maybe the second trailer should play bad guy by billie eilish
Love three things in this fucked up world: eating pizza, smooching mr. softie, and chatting with my comrades on hexbear.net
There is straight up capitalist realism going on in gaming right now. My friends cannot imagine anyone playing a game that isn't shoved full of skinner box bullshit. "No one will play if you don't have progression and unlock systems! They need incentives to play the game the way it was intended! They need number go up to play the objective!"
It sucks so hard. It's all bullshit, all this skinner box crap. But people are so indoctrinated with it htey cannot fathom the idea of just playing the game for fun. If they're not getting exp and unlocking arbitrary porgression systesm they won't play, and they don't know or acknowledge that this creates endless perverse incentives that poison the game.
AHHHHHHH
I just played for like 45 minutes without hearing a single person talk. It's so . Every player has VoiP for local chat and squad chat. The squad leaders can all communicate. All the tools are there for coordinated team play and strategic cooperation. And it just doesn't get used. It just sucks. One of the things that made Planetside so cool was that you were playing with people, not just near people. There was coordination between clans on the same server and squads in the same platoon. The clan leaders would cooperate to send troops where they were needed to hold the line, counter attack, or open a new front. I was never just zerging towards the enemy, it was always part of some kind of plan with a specific goal.
And now I just don't know where to get that unless i go play squad, and I don't really want to play squad. battlebit has all the tools for that kind of gameplay - Comms, respawn on squad, transport vehicles, all sorts of cool stuff. But people just whine incessantly about systems designed for team play. The transport helicopters are designed to rapidly insert teams across the map to open new fronts, complete with a fast rope system so you can disembark without the helo needing to land. No one uses it, and they complain that the miniguns on the helo aren't good for killing people. Like of course the minguns aren't good. They're there to defend the helicopter while troops exit the vehicle, not fly around at the flight ceiling scoring you kills against people who can't retaliate! The idea that maybe a vehicle is intended to harass enemies, force them out of cover, and support the team is unthinkable. Every system needs to support single player play so I can ignore the other 254 players in the server!
When I play any sniper/recon class I get a rifle with mid-range scope and stick to my team like glue so I can spot threats in the distance and take out enemy snipers and shit that are out of range of the rest of the squad's weapons. I rarely ever see anyone else play like this. All most players want to do with the sniper role is sit in one place and click heads from long distance. And I absolutely don't understand it. Why is that fun? You're not fighting anyone, you're just waiting for someone who can't even see you to stand still. It's so anti-social and I'm sick of it. : |
Because they want to be ones with highest kd/ratios and uses that as a badge of their skill (never mind that they can literally be flanked on all side and just die if they play alone)
As for me i try to ninja sneak into bases but usually I die if I do that. Recently tho actually just like playing medic, dragging people and reviving them over and over again.
I seriously think that tracking stats across games was when things started to go to shit. That's when you could "win" for the first time. That's when you were "punished" for doing an all knives round or getting the hole team to hide in a corner with paras waiting for the first guy to run around the corner. That's when people stopped caring about the game they were playing and started caring about their "stats". It stopped being pick-up street hockey and started to turn in to something else.
Arma rocked for me because of the team work. Sometimes you're jumping into a hot lz to extract a pinned squad, other times you're chilling in a foxhole or trench with the rest of your squad just waiting for the mortar shelling to calm down. There was no glory in doing things on your own, because that's how you got killed.
They need incentives to play the game the way it was intended!
Nobody wants to work anymore --> Nobody wants to play video game anymore
Why the "I dont care about your race, your sexual orientation, your gender" people are almost always a bigot?
No I'm not, shame on you! All races are equal to me
[black people ask you to stop genociding them]
You want us to stop based on RACE?! These black supremacists are getting out of hand...
Villains always think theyre doing the right thing.
Honestly I get why people say this stuff especially when the "opposite" is fake liberal tears and outright racism.
Like it's always about your character and who you are, but trauma and your environment shapes you heavily and this is always seems to be left out or unexamined.
People using leaf blowers for their intended purpose will not see heaven. God put leaves on the ground for a reason, do you think you know better than God?
Mulching electric mower gang rise up. Free compost is raining down from the heavens every autumn and suburbanites spend countless hours every year to get rid of it.
Leaving leaves on the ground until all the bugs have pupated supremacy!
All these things live, and remain for ever, and for every use all things obey him All things are double, one against another, and he hath made nothing defective [Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 42:23-25]
okay yeah but when i use the leafblower it makes me feel like heavy from team fort game 2
Literally every Yakuza bad guy: "Kiryu, the Yakuza has very deep connections and members on every street corner. If we wanted, you could be dead at the snap of a finger and never be heard of again.
Kiryu: lol whatever
Don't be so dismissive! The bungus family has always been one of the largest and most powerful Tojo clan subsidiaries despite the fact that they were never even mentioned in the last 4 games
smh my head so tired of these fake "gamer girls" who think that they're gamers despite the fact that they recognize the legitimacy of the state of Israel
👏 YOU 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 A 👏 GAMER 👏 GIRL 👏 IF 👏 YOU 👏 RECOGNIZE 👏 ISRAEL 👏
