Lmao this is cute.

Huh? That other person seems calm and respectful too. What do you mean?

What will that do and how will it help all of the people in her same position?

Where are they being detained and tortured again?

Saw an article today about a French scientist who was denied entry to the US after their phone was searched and texts critical of Trump were found.

You're getting downvoted but it's important that we remember this. She's hot, she's white, she's an actress. She said herself she thinks it's thanks to her friends and family working with the media that she got released at all. I bet she'd agree with you that being white played into her favor here.

Think about all the people who don't have those types of resources or public empathy points. We have no idea who is actually locked up right now or what will happen to them.

That's really interesting. Are the people/entities who own individual servers (or even certain servers) known to the general public? I love the idea of social media not being centralized in the hands of billionaires, but I worry about trusting all of the same information to someone whose identity I don't know at all. Flip a coin, they're probably Russian or Chinese.

Basically I'm just asking about how/why we trust the owners of these servers. I still have a lot to learn about this technology.

Yup. If we don't de-throne establishment leaders in 2026 I'm afraid that this is the way we are going to go. And as a CA I've mostly been alright with Newsom's government, but he is absolutely not the guy for this moment in time in terms of the presidency.

Insert shameless plug for Saikat Chakrabarti, former AOC campaign manager and Chief of Staff who is running against Nancy Pelosi in the 2026 election. For those looking for a way to make a difference, supporting this guy's bid and making him famous is a good, tangible way to do it.

We need more AOCs and fewer Pelosis.

Buttigieg has made it clear that he is not running for office and is looking forward to playing support over the next four years.

I don't think this is even close to possible. She has removed herself from public view for a reason. On a personal level, she's done. If she had any intentions to run for any kind of office, she would have emerged by now as an opposition leader.

Dude, that's just not true. Did you even try to look into her policy positions?

I just started and still don't understand this lemmy. I thought one of the perks was being able to interact on any server despite which one holds your account.

I did, when I voted for Joe Biden, as did the rest of us.

Found it, thank you!

It's part of the strategy -- publicly condemn people as being the type of person that is easy to hate so that there is support for the punishment.

If he started disappearing people without giving any reason, his supporters would be more likely to take note of that and question him. "Violent criminals and terrorists" on the other hand, that the people can get behind, apparently without question.

Glad you can see it that way. Even your average liberal agrees that deporting violent criminals is a good idea -- what we oppose is the idea that the government can accuse anyone of being a violent criminal without evidence, punish them without scrutiny, and even make them disappear.

Not all 341 million are required, but other than that, yes, successful protests and other forms of resistance have always been about people "all agreeing to do the same thing."

History is your friend here.

What you are missing about why we are actually enraged is the complete lack of evidence of their crimes or any kind of due process. Everybody deserves to be heard by the court.

Even if you don't care about immigrants, you should realize that if they can be targeted and punished without evidence, then you can be too.

How do you find it? I don't see an app called SafetyCore on my phone
