People say Linux is more difficult, but I find Windows 11 both more difficult to make do what I need it to do and far more stressful because it’s slow, unreliable and prioritizes what Microsoft wants it to do over what I want it to do. Sometimes I pop into a Windows VM but only for particular things. I recommend the move.

Surely you guys can take out Stephen Miller before he takes out 225 million of you?

The rest of us have some catching up to do.

There’s a serious chance they’ll have the guy killed to get the judge off their back without having to be seen backing down, and to show judges what happens when they try to challenge the regime on a deportation case.

I fear Trump will just ask his buddy Bukele to kill the guy, out of sheer spite.

She means “they’re all the same anyway.”

And if you are someone he doesn’t like, for your views, your skin color, your accent, your sexual orientation, your gender, your education, your occupation, your ethnicity, the way you look at him, or how you don’t fawn over him enough or fall behind with your protection payments, he’ll have you “accidentally” kidnapped and imprisoned for life or until the Salvadoran authorities decide you’re a waste of resources and kill you.

I’m responding to things like this:

Canada’s Tory leader vows to deport foreigners for antisemitic crimes

Now antisemitic crimes are one thing, but he includes pro-Palestinian “hate marches” which apparently means people protesting Israel’s attacks on Gaza and the West Bank. Designating protests against Israel as hateful and critics of the Israeli government and military as antisemitic is very much a copycat Trump policy.

It’s already resulting in them kidnapping random people out of the country.

I’m Canadian and have lived here for more than 20 years. Poilievre is threatening to deport people like me for criticising Israel, and threatening to strip rights from my LGBTQ+ friends and family. We are all Canadian, and pleased to be Canadian, yet this man threatens to turn the state against us just as Trump is doing in the USA. Everyone needs to get out and vote to keep him away from power, or it could very well be the end of democratic Canada as we know it, and a personal disaster for many Canadian families.

An embarrassment, but more importantly a danger to the USA and the rest of the world.

Indeed. If only Americans would stop their Nazis before that becomes our job.

“Anyone who has (not) broken the law should not be worried,” Leavitt told The Associated Press. “If you have broken the law and engaged in the weaponization of justice, then you should be worried. It’s that simple.”

The blatant abuse of language is one of the most disgusting ways fascists revel in their power. Everyone knows they’re doing exactly what they falsely accuse others of doing, but they love saying it to remind you that there’s nothing you can do now they have all the power.

Or until they decide to kill you to make room for the next delivery.

As a Canadian, I think Canada should start accepting trans refugees from the USA. I also think we must absolutely not elect the transphobic MAGA wannabe Pierre Poilievre. It’s crazy that some Canadians look at what’s happening in the USA and want the same here, or think of nothing but wanting to pay less tax even if it means destroying everything that makes Canada good.

If Trump and his people ignore the courts, the only way to stop them is physically.

But can the court stop his Gestapo from kidnapping these people anyway and trafficking them for torture, slavery, imprisonment and possibly execution? Because they’re just doing it regardless of what the courts rule.

I think superhero movies, as well all the many movies where a team of misfits overcome their difficulties to save the day when the USA faces disaster, are just American self-mythologizing. Americans like stories that show how deep down they are strong and sensible and when the chips are down they come together as a team to take care of the world, but in reality they’re not that at all. The problem is they believe their own myths.

Yeah, we know. Unfortunately we have a guy up here (Poilievre) who wants to do the same thing in Canada. Canadians, please vote to prevent this man turning Canada into the same Nazi shitshow as the USA.

The attorneys said they do not know where he is. They filed a petition in federal court seeking an order barring the government from removing him from the state or country.

They’ll try to ship him (if they haven’t already) to the prison from which no one ever returns, according to the president of El Salvador and the prison’s director. How can you keep shipping more and more prisoners into a camp without ever releasing a prisoner? Maybe they already have a “final solution”. It’s all feeling very much like Nazi Germany.
