America is such a fucking joke it's no longer funny. I wish we could isolate the rest of the world from your madness but unfortunately we can't.

    As a Native American this attitude would be a lot more understandable and palatable if America wasn’t colonized…

    These immigration raids and terror tactics are terrible on their own, but it’s especially absurd when Native Americans get caught up in it, and it just fully exposes how disingenuous and transparently racist the whole effort is. So I’m sorry that your peoples have to suffer even more because of this racist mindset.

    From a January article:

    ”If you can’t say, ‘we’ve been here for time immemorial,’ then you’re an immigrant. You’re not from here, so who are you to classify our Indigenous people? These lands have been a melting pot for many ethnicities,” Hatathlie [a Native Arizona state Senator] said.

    I heard another more recent example of a car full of Native Americans being pulled over, aggressively questioned, and asked for their papers, but I can’t seem to find it. It’s utterly shameful how we treat people.

    I totally understand your sentiment. Undoubtedly the USA is built on stolen land, much like Israel.

    All of history is one people taking over another peoples land. I'm not saying its right, but in virtually any part of the world there is a history of some invader or colonizer coming in and displacing or swallowing up the existing people, probably multiple times, down through prehistory as well.

    The attendance for the next FIFA cup was already looking bad, and I can't imagine the US government wanting your history of online activity to help it even a bit.

    I can't wait to see high attendance in Mexico and Canada-hosted matches, with rock bottom attendance in the US. Even US fans travelling domestically, don't go, especially to the states that are falling into line with Trump.

    Not that it will actually be recognized for what it is. I may put together a bingo card on the ways media spins it.

    If you don’t have social media you must be “hiding” something and will be denied entry.

    They want to stay by themselves? That's fine by me. But then they should also stop exporting their Hollywood and streaming turds (as well as their shit food). That would only be fair. And maybe also stop behaving like if they owned the entire planet?

    Of course, how would they know if you don't list any? Oh, that's right, PRISM. Fully expect that people who don't have social media accounts to get accused of having them simply because someone else shares the same name and did say First Amendment protected stuff, like Donald Trump is a terrible fucking president and should be impeached.

    Sorry person with the last name Erdude. I guess you aren't getting into the US now.

    This was explained to me years ago. They don't give a fuck about what you said. They want you to lie, in case they need to fuck you up. If for some reason they want to screw you, they'll look for these uids, and if you hadn't declared, they'll slap perjury charges on you.

    in other news, the market price of hacked credentials for MAGA-friendly social media accounts:

    notein case it is unclear to anyone: the above is a joke.

    in all seriousness, renaming someone else's account and presenting it to CBP as one's own would be dangerous and inadvisable. a more prudent course of action at this time is to avoid traveling to the united states.

    I legitimately do not, and have never had, any of the usual social media. This lemm.ee account is the only one I have, and that's closing down soon.

    However I would also never visit the us. So it's all a win/win for me.

    if they successfully fully take over, those same supporters now become the new threat

    Quite a few of the current crop of deputized ICE agents are MAGA goons from four years ago. So long as you're actively doing the gruesome work of ethnic cleansing, you'll be given a pass.

    It's a chance for everyone visitors to practice right think.

    While looking for a link, I found links that make me think some folks are trying to unironically reclaim the term "right think". Gross.

    Too many people aren't reading 1984 anymore, while billionaires thought it was a "how to" guide.

    I mean they make you sign away your rights and tell them if you’ve ever been affiliated with any one who was in or if you joined a communist party. So this is just another layer on the shit cake.

    It doesn't matter anyway, there is no rule of law in the united states. You might as well lie, they will likely jail you no matter what you write on that document.

    Just don't go there.

    Who TF wants to set foot in that shithole banana republic anyway?
    Stuff your visa, and return the favor and stay TF out of other people's countries.
    That would be a welcome change.
