Look, I get I'm being a bit of an asshole with this answer, but given what little you've provided it's the only one I can think of: get a phone (a google pixel) that can install an operating system that actually cares about your privacy (grapheneos). Then use its sandboxing to protect you from privacy invasion generally, and Life360 specifically.

Remember, central planning is bad and not something done in the US. We just have a purely natural love for weapons manufacturing.

He felt bad and said he shouldn’t be talking to minors my age, and also said that I groomed him and tricked him into going out with me.

This is DARVO bullshit, fuck this guy. You were a child.

He did not carry out raids the likes of which we’ve seen in the past six months and he did not sanction them, which is what the comments about the meme are suggesting.

Obama absolutely did carry out and sanction deportation raids. To be clear, I'm not claiming he was as aggressive as Trump is being now. The image itself is an attempt to point out that Obama did so in a more orderly fashion.

My point, then, is that there can be “3.1 million ‘deported’” based on a very loose definition of a practical daily event at the border

Again, your characterization of these deportations all being people showing up at the border without papers is unsubstantiated. Nothing about expedited removal requires a person be present at the border. I could be mistaken about this, but a "removal" implies that a person is not at a border crossing. Indeed, in the MPI report, the tables listing deportation numbers have separate columns for border apprehensions and removals, and the removal column for Obama is at around 3M.

A few points: Obama had fewer border apprehensions and removals than both Bush and Clinton. This could be the case for any number of reasons, one of which could be lighter enforcement. But it is the case that the Obama administration bragged about its hawkishness on the border. My understanding is he did so in a failed attempt to appease the GOP and get DACA put into legislation. But regardless of all of this, it seems ICE under Obama did remove around 3 million people, not at the border.

Snopes rates the claim "US deported more than 3M people during Obama presidency. Most did not have chance to plead case in court" as mostly true. I truly do not understand how your characterization of these deportations follows from the link you posted and your quote from it.

This is not a savvy or mature take, it's a pedantic take. And I am no stranger to pedantry.

Nobody looks at this headline and thinks the Trump admin is directly putting pollutants in the air.

Maybe I should just be less cynical, but this headline doesn't make me think "this is satire." It makes me think "yep, par for the course for republicans." This is basically what they've been promising to do for decades. It's one step away from a headline like "Republicans cut taxes for the wealthy."

  • Substack's founder says it will not remove white supremacist and Nazi blogs from the platform.
  • Some of these blogs have paying subscribers, which means Substack likely profits.
  • The heart of the issue is not the free speech; it's the money.

The newsletter-hosting site Substack advertises itself as the last, best hope for civility on the internet—and aspires to a bigger role in politics in 2024. But just beneath the surface, the platform has become a home and propagator of white supremacy and anti-Semitism. Substack has not only been hosting writers who post overtly Nazi rhetoric on the platform; it profits from many of them.
