Slippery slope, people.

I know lots of people with roots in other countries who have green cards or are naturalized citizens & are scared of traveling internationally. I thought it was going to be just about racism but this is about squashing any dissent. That’s the theme with all of this…silencing Congress people who disagree, calling to impeach judges who go against Trump, cutting research, dismantling high education. If this way happening anywhere else in the world, we wouldn’t be debating if it’s heading into fascism.


“…JUST about racism”? Wow. So it’s “squashing any dissent” — which is at least about actual behavior — that you want to call out, much more than“just … racism” — which penalizes people for daring to exist?

Maybe you meant that in some other way?

Like JD during German elections praising AfD and talking about freedom of speech?

One more time being in the 20% of an 80/20 issue.


I recognize that 80% of Americans are either too broke or too provincial to travel internationally.

Oh my sweet summer child. You trust too easily.

I don't. I just know how it works.


So do I. The system flags what you want it to flag. If you want it to flag registered Dem voters, it will flag them. Garbage in, garbage out.

Unlike Israel the US is not at war with Islam.

I thought everyone knew to purge their phones before going through customs.

I delete all social media and messaging apps. I also don't use any social media names that include my real name, real photo, or tie to my Gmail that I use.

CBP doesn't need a warrant to confiscate your phone. CBP are also the only authorities that can legally compel you to unlock your phone and/or hand over your passcode.

I'm sure they, the Government, are compiling a list of everyone on social media who is critical of Trump and Musk. I wouldn't be surprised if this happens more often. I bet he was on a list and when he went through customs, there was an alert to search and deny.

How it works on January 19th and how it works today are very different things. Ask any lawyer at DOJ right now - or any lawyer.

Trump is making his own rules, law be da**ed.

I mean I know how CBP systems work, as in the system they use.


... You haven't been following the news, have you?
