Yeah there are people keeping eyes out. Currently the level of ICE activity has been very low which unfortunately means there is also less activity in the watchers. I am worried about a big ramp up like mentioned in the article. I’m in Sacramento so I feel like we could get targeted for being the capital.

That’s my assumption but I wonder if it’s confirmed. Since it’s in downtown I don’t see how it could be physically expanded. Maybe into the parking lot but that’s where they keep all their kidnapping wagons.

So no details, just the location? My city is mentioned but the building in question is already the main local ICE office so I’m curious what they plan to change.

That’s a type of algorithm.

What’s the best alternative in your view?

So no country/company is willing to sell them oil due to the sanctions, is that the issue?

Yeah but that’s mods. The nature of community moderation means there will always be abuse, but there’s always more communities to join. But here you do get to choose your admins in a similar manner. Thankfully I chose well despite picking somewhat haphazardly.

Depends totally on the instance. I don’t find my admins to be that way, but we’re also on a pretty similar ideological wavelength so I don’t know how it would be if that wasn’t the case.

Damn Reddit admins are fucking weird.

They’re doing the opening show I think? TBH I didn’t even know there was one but might be worth a watch. Hope it gets spicy.

You were banned from Reddit for saying that? I feel like I’ve said worse and somehow haven’t got one yet.

Had to make sure to censor that from field huh?

Not to mention that the same people who express shock and horror at the poverty on those streets are often the same ones who created that situation.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t report on it, just pointing out the insanity of that being necessary.

My out of state family always looks at me like I’m an alien when I mention I’m spending a weekend in San Francisco.

The moderns media ecosystem really is a bizarre thing.

The worst part about this national nightmare is that 50% of news coverage is basically just “experts confirm the sky is blue” and that seems like a normal thing we need to reiterate.

Actually it’s not the worst part but it feels like it should be.

I’d say even outside of MAGA this isn’t really done. Maybe no one would object but I can’t say I really see it.

Historically the US funded a lot of important medical research. Do you think they did this for altruistic reasons?

True. It’s a state. I can’t think of a time a state did something for purely altruistic reasons.

Wow I rarely say this about Chinese government but based.
