Why was this man in custody in the first place?
From the article:
According to the statement, the man had attempted to enter the US at the Laredo border crossing at the end of August 2025, but was refused entry due to a lack of valid documents.
The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency initiated proceedings and referred the case to a court under the US Department of Justice. One day later, the man was transferred to ICE custody. The agency placed him in a care home a month later.
He was actually in a care home at the time he died. Had been for a while.
I use it in the US quite a bit, after picking it up from Ozzy Man on YouTube.
Saying you aren’t casting doubt when you are in fact casting doubt doesn’t negate it.
Ah yes, the black and white fallacy. A sneaky version of it, but it’s here nonetheless.
I think explaining the opposing viewpoint and then disagreeing with it is a useful rhetorical tool. It is far more likely to convince someone they are wrong if you are able to state their position clearly and accurately. Saying, “I can understand why someone might doubt this person because of this reason,” and then saying, “I don’t doubt them, here is a possible answer” is more useful than just shitting on people.
I think you’ll notice I deleted my comment once I saw that. And also I wasn’t casting doubt. I believe her. And I supplied a possible reason that, as it turns out, was her reason.

Piefed.social on Voyager is working fine for me. I realize that isn’t helpful, but just providing a data point. 🤣

Make a joyful noise!
Fair enough! I’m not an expert on all things cultural, that’s for sure! I just want people to sing more. :)
Singing is known to stimulate the vagus nerve, and also releases a bunch of endorphins and is tied to stress reduction and improved emotional state. I feel like we don’t sing enough in Western culture.
If you tell me you can’t sing, I say cup your hand around your ear to help you hear yourself better and practice! Or just belt joyously out of tune in the shower!
Is that what they mean by Mental Floss?
Didn’t expect Trevor to be this based.
Really? Seems like what I’d expect from him.
Miss him on the daily show
Me too, but honestly I’ve grown to really like the rotating host format.
