The terrorists didn’t win, the authoritarians did. The evil empire wasn’t punished, it was given carte blanche to escalate and expand its power.

The opportunistic expansion of domestic spying, militarization of local law enforcement and transport, and the federal agency consolidation into the DHS were an intentional precursor to the activities of ICE today.

It was in the first year after 9/11 that the small government “don’t tread on me” right wing transformed into the servile boot lickers we have today.

Facism wrapped in an American flag. And in 2002 if you said otherwise, you were a terrorist too. Just ask the Dixie Chicks.

Right now we are dealing with the impacts of “Project 2025”. Before 9/11 was the “Project for the New American Century”, a strategy document that outlined neoconservative goals and concerns.

There is truth to your prediction. Recent reports show a large increase in green energy output in China, year-over-year.

Imagine thinking that thinking in words is anything but slow and shallow. Maybe you are the dumb one...

It's far worse than that. The data is used to determine your travel habits, where you go and when, and who you associate with, and who they associate with.

For example: A drug dealer might take a similar route to someone you know or visit, and suddenly you are a crime suspect. Or maybe you to to a restaurant where people that are critical of some government policy regularly meet, and you are now a terrorist suspect because you go to happy hour on the regular and make vaguely critical political posts on Reddit.

This is one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen.

If you aren’t using your own imagination, then it’s just slop.

More fun for me. AI does a great job of smoothing out the little details so I can focus on the things that matter like schema, architecture, and UX.

As a US citizen, you are 100% correct

This is all complete nonsense slop.

Close your chat. Delete whatever nonsense prompt you are using. Use the AI to help guide your research (BOOKS!)

Poor prompting is why AI makes a bad research assistant.

All of this is superficial, and looks like the tail end of a slop wall. No consideration whatsoever of the essential uses of distillation products, or material/energy inputs for manufacturing products.

Seriously. Sanding is the one reason I never got into woodworking. The sound, the vibration…is simply intolerable.

Those look amazing. A lot like the ones I do.

What’s your sauce?

As an “ai developer” i’d rather have a “dumb” appliance that doesn’t require an internet connection.

The violence is a DHS DIRECTIVE.

“To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony. You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one—no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist—can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.” — Stephen Miller

Not "just", but MOSTLY. "Brown" people that aren't speaking English are the easiest and primary target. The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo enshrined the bald-faced 5th Amendment violation as precedent.

It's mostly just hard working and valued members of our communities being abducted. https://tracreports.org/immigration/quickfacts/

The authorization of ethnic profiling, the retroactive elimination of legal status for over 1.6 million people by national origin, and the implementation of military-style mass removal operations, constitute genocide under the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

International jurisprudence recognizes that genocide need not involve mass killing. The International Court of Justice confirmed in its 2007 Bosnia judgment that Srebrenica constituted genocide through destruction of a group "in part", the Bosnian Muslim population within that territory. This precedent establishes that eliminating a protected group's presence within a defined geographic area constitutes genocide, even when the group exists elsewhere. Trump administration policies meet every element of the Convention's definition: protected groups targeted, prohibited acts committed, and specific intent demonstrated through rhetoric and systematic action.

The question is not whether policies will escalate to mass killing. Genocide through ethnic cleansing is still genocide.

The administration believes it possesses unreviewable authority to deploy military force domestically, ignore judicial orders through circumvention, and characterize political opposition as insurrection.

If Miller's plenary authority doctrine succeeds, it establishes that:

• Presidential determination of threats is unreviewable
• Court orders can be circumvented by procedural manipulation
• Military deployment domestically requires no genuine factual predicate
• Opposition to executive policy can be recharacterized as insurrection justifying martial response
• Independent institutions exist only at presidential sufferance

This creates what constitutional scholars call a "constitutional dictatorship".

I mean the biofilms in the soil…not the air.

This grass touching US citizen agrees. I wouldn’t risk coming here if I didn’t live here already. I mean I am happy to see my northern neighbors, but visiting the US is ill-advised at the moment, especially if you don’t have a fair complexion.

A working and regulated government is worth a lot more than $5k

You are some unimportant random, an NPC in an uncaring and indifferent universe. Get over yourself and just be a good person, then you have a chance at being happy.
