The numbers were pretty different between Trump and other presidents but I hear you, it’s wrong either way. I still think it’s important to emphasize the scale and cruelty of Trump’s concentration camps are way worse.

The only real solution will be to abolish ICE & DHS.

This is what made me suspicious. Usually when a politician supports someone there’s no need to make vague statements like this because you can easily find a quote from her explaining her positions in her own words. The lack of such quotes seems conspicuous.

Regarding the Latinas for Trump claim, I can’t find any other sources making this claim, so I suspect this is just misinformation. I did find several statements from the real Latinas for Trump founders criticizing Trump’s immigration policy, though none had people close to them harmed directly. It seems to be a US based organization founded by local US politicians, so it would be quite surprising if this Colombian woman was involved, especially when she’s not mentioned as a founder elsewhere.

Here’s an article on one of the actual founders: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5708999-garcia-criticizes-trump-midterms/

OK well given that I was just calmly asking for clarification after an extremely vague non-reply, I think you’re just a belligerent person who has trouble reading tone online and your opinion has no validity. Especially since you’ve now twice declined to explain anything about why you feel the way you do and instead posted insults for no apparent reason. Keep it to yourself next time and maybe people will like you more.

I believe he did have a visa and applied for asylum, although being the son of a politician unless there are some very unusual circumstances, his asylum claim seems dubious.

That said, he was following the rules as they exist and should not have been arrested.

In all the coverage of this I have not seen a single statement from her that is supportive of Trump or his immigration policy. I’m not saying she’s a good person but I’m starting to suspect people just want to force this story to fit the narrative they find gratifying instead of learning what actually happened.

And then, even if she did support this it doesn’t mean her son did, who is the real victim here. I wish people would have a little more compassion for victims of state violence. But it seems this is rare even on the left when there is a more convent narrative.

Spying is a bit different from being compelled to share data though. Probably everyone is vulnerable to secret surveillance, I’m not sure how to mitigate against that. But the information from such efforts will be more limited.

They’ve got a long way to go before they can claim such a title. If it’s even possible to be a “green superpower”. Seems like a contradiction to me.

They’re the next evolution of police. Yes, they’re worse, but it’s the fruit of the same ideology taken further.

True… I guess I’m not too knowledgeable about the situation in Australia. How would the US approach them and what legal avenues for resistance exist?

They’re not a fascist government but they also don’t seem to have the same free speech protections the US does. Not that that has helped us much,

Cool story. I have no idea why you are reacting this way. If you wanted to give me feedback so I behave better this is useless.

Commenter literally posted the same non-reply twice. I was trying to be as polite as possible but what else can I even say?

Forgot England and their wigs.

All the more reason to be on a non-US based server right now.

Worth noting that a lot of their subpoenas are BS though and could be fought successfully. Big tech is too scared to do even minor things to protect their users because the regime will retaliate in other ways that could cost them money. Small hobby servers don’t have the same avenue of attack, although they might be more vulnerable in other ways.

I often wonder if DHS is aware of the threadiverse. I would assume so but who knows? At least I don’t think our admins would cooperate with them for the most part.

What else do you want to know? I explained as clearly as I can.

Yeah. This is super interesting but this was always a concern I had of this project, which has the potential to be great but is also so large it almost borders on geoengineering. Changes in water distribution could be good but I’d say they’re a bit more likely to cause harm than help.

I’m ready to try anything at this point.

My personal view is campism is a stage 4 terminal tumor on leftist thought. So I’ll stick with no in both cases. I support BDS.

The US is also a major economy that trades with every country in a substantial way. So do you find its trade with Israel acceptable, as I thought you were implying about China?

Should we excuse the US by the same logic then?

These aren’t real subpoenas. They’re just paperwork filled out by DHS to justify their own violence and authority. They’re totally illegitimate and they just call them subpoena’s in a (mostly successful) attempt to fabricate legal authority from thin air.
