What I said can be applied to any type of visa. The policy is not going to fix anything, it’s only going to invade peoples privacy and turn away legitimate visa applicants.

This is stupid. This will not stop spies and terrorists, they will just create fake accounts. This will only hurt legitimate immigrants.

I really hope the passenger or passengers are OK. Being stuck in a burning car has to be one of the worst ways to go.

This is why it’s so sick that Musk puts profits over safety. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the people who burn alive in his cars. If you drive a Tesla this could one day be your fate and you may not be able to escape. Teslas are designed to shut off power in a car accident yet they also use electric door handles. See the issue with that? They do have an emergency escape option but in an accident with all the adrenaline and emotion it may be hard to find them or use them. Certain Tesla models do not have an emergency escape option in the back. Please do not have passengers especially children in the back if your Tesla doesn’t have an emergency escape.

If for some reason you own a Tesla: please for your own safety regularly practice exiting the vehicle using the emergency escape. I do not want this to happen to you or anybody. Also I know a car is a very major purchase but if it’s well within your means or something you could afford without a big impact on your finances you may want to consider getting another car when you can.

It’s a complex issue but I do believe that what is in the poster is true or mostly true. I say mostly true because in 1941 they had “the strongest, most explicit and most widespread protest movement against any Nazi policy since the beginning of the Third Reich”. They were protesting against Aktion T4 which was a policy to kill many disabled children.

Imagine if the protests were stronger against the Nazi regime?

I will fight hard and do everything I can to ensure that it will end with Trump. I hope you will join me in doing what you can to put a stop to fascism.

I’d rather we nip things in the bud, defeat fascism earlier and avoid millions of deaths. My point was to think about what we can do different this time so we won’t get the same treatment because we resisted and stopped Trump.

It can happen to anyone, even an Australian police officer who married a man in the army.

Good! Bring it down to 100% and also bring down Twitter usage to similar levels! Build fiber to rural areas so they won’t need Starlink or if you currently use Starlink see if fixed wireless is possible, maybe with a parabolic antenna on your roof or on an antenna tower you could get a signal. Keep boycotting Elon Musk until he’s bankrupt.

What we need to do is to stop emitting so much greenhouse gas and planet more trees and do things like that.

Contact your politicians and demand a faster transition to renewable energy.

We got to start calling the people who were responsible for rolling back the regulations corrupt. Make sure everyone knows that those politicians are corrupt and that we will note vote for them.

There’s going to be huge protests on June 14. I believe protests are just one component. I think what people should be doing is trying to beat the pillars of support that are holding Trump up. For example boycotting his top donors, educating people on things like media literacy and trying to reach people who are not informed on what’s going on. Getting his poll numbers way down especially among Republicans would have a big impact on stopping him.

That’s a huge shame. I wonder if the issue is the articles about what’s happening with Trump are in English and not making it to Portugal.

I’m sorry but I disagree, I think we can make it through. It’s not going to be easy but if we unite and fight together we can stop this madness. If we split up it’s going to screw all the Democrats and normal people who are stuck living in red states for reasons such as can’t afford to move.

That’s a very good point you bring up! I totally see what you mean and agree!

We have the power to fight back! Contact politicians in your country and demand a faster transition to renewable energy. The economic harms caused by climate change are far greater than the cost of switching to renewable energy.

One possible idea I had is to take advantage of global anti-Trump sentiment and urge countries especially those hit hard by Trump’s tariffs to fight back by buying less fossil fuels especially less fossil fuels from the U.S. I’m not sure if people from other countries understand just how influential the U.S. fossil fuel industry is in electing Trump and Republicans. It’s similar to how people are (unfortunately too slowly it seems) moving away from buying Russian fossil fuels.

So when you boycott fossil fuels you’re stopping authoritarian regimes and saving the planet.

Totally agree here, another good reason to cancel your Spotify account.

Of course you can!

I look forward to the day I never hear about this guy again.

What’s shameful is Spotify is still allowing some of Andrew Tate’s content. If you have a Spotify account please consider contacting Spotify and send them a message saying you want Andrew Tate completely removed, want Spotify to stop funding Joe Rogan and demand a feature to block podcasts the same way you can block artists for songs. Also maybe consider ending your Spotify subscription. When you cancel your subscription you will be prompted to explain why you’re canceling. It’s crucial to fill you the reason. Say you’re canceling because you don’t like Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan.

This article is relying on anecdotal evidence citing only a few random Reddit and Bluesky posts and some of the claims in the article are not backed by any evidence. Also note that the Reddit links I clicked on are all heavily downvoted.

Denise is a person that’s been long involved in trust and safety analyzed a lot of the Gaza accounts and found that https://bsky.app/profile/rahaeli.bsky.social/post/3lpxyoe4efk26 only 18% of Gazans were actually posting in Gaza time. Of course she didn’t publish hard data so this claim isn’t 100% scientific either but the poster is pretty reputable I feel.

Note later as a counterargument to this I did find one person who claimed they have a 4 AM morning prayer. I don’t know how many Gazans take part in that. https://bsky.app/profile/anothersmd.bsky.social/post/3lpyetkltys2y I did verify that some websites say they have a prayer at around 4 AM.

Also if you’ve ever used Bluesky before it used to be that you’d get random replies and mentions asking for money, recently they’ve gotten this much better under control.

So I think what is really happening is people post unsolicited requests for money on posts that are unrelated and they get correctly marked as spam.

Should be mandatory reading before anyone tries to visit the U.S.

Until we fix this please do not come here.
