"And less than two miles across the state line in Southaven, Mississippi, is an xAI-owned energy plant with over two-dozen towering gas turbines."

"The hearing centered on a then-proposed permit allowing an xAI subsidiary to install over 40 permanent gas turbines at its Southaven plant. Those machines would replace 27 temporary turbines that have operated without permits for the better part of a year."

I skimmed a couple of your links. They:
a) did not disagree about the realignment, just the cause.
b) were heavy with purple prose, and light on citations.

Guess you had to resort to petty insults since you are losing so many arguments in the thread you started.
- "supposed to" is not a synonym for "I wish it was"
- I haven't made any statements about LinkedIn's quality one way or another.
- I do not plan to respond to any more of your posts.

My point is that the people worried about 'destroying Confederate history' are much more worried about the 'Confederate' part of that phrase.

No idea why that would be specific to California in any way, or how a couple of examples demonstrate a negative.

And are you seriously trying to make an argument that the Democratic Party of the Lost Cause era is the same party as today?

There are a bunch of vertical tab extensions:
https://chromewebstore.google....

Every time I've tried one, both in Firefox and Chrome, there's been something clunky about it.

Many of them could not hide the horizontal bar well, so sometimes you had tabs at both the top and the bottom. Others had trouble integrating with UI elements at the top of the window. Often you had to set preferences deep in some config files.

Apparently tabs are deeply integrated into the browser code, and the extension hooks simply didn't provide everything needed.

That same integration issue also means that tab extensions have have access to everything, and therefore create a security issue.

Your understanding of what happened is very wrong. The people the US sent to El Salvador to be tortured were Venezuelan.

While no US citizens were involved in this particular atrocity, Trump and Miller:
- Sent 238 people to the CECOT concentration camp
- Ignored any due process to send them
- Ignored court orders that were issued while the planes were still on the ground
- Pretended we were in a "war" in order to use the Alien Enemies Act
- Sent people who were in the US legally (about 75% of them were)
- Sent people who had absolutely no criminal record (at least 50 documented cases)
- Never reported their names; the US literally disappeared them
- Paid El Salvador to take them
- Made proposals to send US citizens to be tortured
- Freed a convicted murderer as part of the exchange that Venezuela arranged for its citizens

The people sent to the CECOT concentration were repeatedly beaten, tortured, and sexually abused

The US is still deporting people to third countries, i.e. countries that the deportees have no history with or ties to. Deportees like these have been killed, arrested, and tortured.
