Cool, but it the more learn the more I find that I'd rather Dansup wasn't becoming the darling of the fediverse.

To enforce inequality and keep people subjected to unjust laws.

I like to ask people who want to be tough on immigration, if you were arrested right now and accused of not being a citizen could you prove that you are?

Address, Drivers License, SSN? Non citizens can have all of those. A passport should work if you have one, but if you don't have it on you, you might be detained for a long time before you can get it and prove your citizenship.

Now, under the EO even having your birth certificate won't cut it. You'd need to prove one of your parents was a citizen. So what? We're all going to walk around with a family tree of birth certificates?

The heritage foundation has an argument prepared for the inevitable supreme court case. I think it's shit, even for them, but SCOTUS seems like they'll go along with anything.

Their argument hinges on the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction there of" claiming that this somehow excludes non-citizens. Accepting this argument would have the weird implication of saying that non-citizens in the US are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US. So... how do other laws apply to them? How could they be charged with working or entering the US illegally?

Great point. If you know anyone in relevant fields, talk to them. Much of this will need to be done by word of mouth because you know the algorithms on the big sites are not going to like this.

We need to make detentions and deportations difficult. For a group and keep your eyes peeled. Report any activity that you see by CBP in your area. Be a nuisance. Film them. Shout at them. Drive slow in front of their vehicles. If you can, do more that I won't say online.

 

I was trying to explain federated websites to a friend and she asked if there is a federated dating app. She recently went through a break up and the apps are dreadful as I'm sure many of you know.

It'd be hard to launch a dating system on the fediverse because it the type of service that relies heavily on network effects. People want to be on the dating app with the most people. However, I think there is an opportunity because the mainstream apps are so notoriously awful, monetized, and enshitified.

It could be a community within an existing network or it could be its own website. I don't know, I'm just putting the idea out there.

Someone go ahead and trademark the term "ghost printer."

Not really. Things aren't going to get better by then, and the US government will absolutely keep killing people. But most of us alive now will still be slogging along in 4 years.

To coordinate. This is being organized by large labor unions not tumblr leftists. They are trying to align as many union contracts as possible to expire on March 31st 2028. This also gives people time to organize their workplaces if they aren't already unionized. People can also take time to prepare strike funds. It is hard to save in this economy but if you can save $50/month for the next 3 years you'll have something to coast on during the strike.

I will shit on his grave at some point in my life.

Maybe that'll be my retirement plan.

Yes I am exhausted. Most of all I am exhausted by the rapid rush to capitulate to and appease trump.
