The UK has turned into the clown-car of EU politics and policy. Some other countries in the EU are sadly not that far behind. Like Germany.

Looked into this, out of sheer curiosity.

The guy is literally a Salvadoran citizen. He is technically home. His family came illegally and stayed illegally for 14 years until he got caught by ICE in 2019 in a parking lot of a mall, with other illegals, while looking for under the table work. Some of the other illegals claimed that he had gang connections but that may be unreliable. Only then, he decided to apply for asylum, which legally he could not do, because his family failed to do so within the first year of arriving to the country as per the Law, regarding Asylum seekerdls. So that window closed. That was on them.

He was given a limited stay ruling by a judge that could be removed at a moments notice under any circumstance. Which orange man’s ICE did. But honestly it was simply a matter of time.

Should he be sent to a jail in El Salvador? There is argument that he shouldn’t but he was staying in the US via a slim reason that was based under the belief that gangs in El Salvador would go after him. Why? No idea, since no real proof was ever provided and if he or his family were so concerned over this, they could have tried going the Legal route before. Apparently they were not necessarily poor, either, so this does not look good for their case.

It was flimpsy reason due to lack of evidence, he is likely not some ex-gang member or even related to someone whose connection could endanger his life. If he was, he would have been dead in the jail, already. Also almost all gangs are in jail in El Salvador, so he may lack legal standing, if he argues the same thing. I find it strange that on the link article it claims that he has gang connections. In previous statements he denied having any.

Just like Clinton shipped thousands of Salvadoreans back to El Salvador after the civil war ended because they had used the war as the reason to stay in the USA in the first place.

What should be done is that he should be released from jail but sadly, he had no legal reason to be in the USA. He is not a citizen and he had no legal standing aside a weird, flimpsy exception. He did get a married and has a kid, but he does not have any paperwork to stay and blew a lot of his chances by not acting until he was caught. The other two kids are from his wife’s previous relationship(s).

I know some will say that he is entitled to due process and looking at it, he got it, back in 2019 and all he got was a flimsy court order that could be removed for any reason. He got some lawyers but no real traction was done in the courts. Despite the drama on the news, it seems that he was legally trying to bleed a stone.

I get the equally flimsy excuse from ICE that he was sent due to a clerical error by them not getting the newer court order in time. That is suspicious, to say the least.

Looking at the legality of the issue and removing emotional bias aside, I can see why they may want to take it of the Supreme Court. If we go by facts alone, he may be released from prison but may not be able to come back. Like what is the legal standing for an illegal to stay in the USA, when he has no avenue for asylum? Saying that he has a wife and kid, in the real world does not amount to a legal reason. This whole thing is weird, since if he gets released from the jail, over there, then for sure he is not going to be let back into the USA. He is a fairly unique case, the way things happened.

Bohdan Krotevych, who quit as the chief of staff of the Azov brigade in February partly so he could speak out, said he believed that armed forces commander, Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, “must go” and Ukraine’s military leadership must be shaken up.

The veteran complained in an interview that Syrskyi and the existing leadership were engaged in “manual micro-management of the whole army” and highlighted orders given to soldiers and units forcing them to rest and base too close to the front.

“I started receiving from the high army command, from the commander-in-chief HQ, orders that became more and more borderline criminal, which I, in my good conscience, was unable to fulfil and follow,” Krotevych said.

One of Ukraine’s best-known soldiers, Krotevych, 32, served in Azov from 2014 and survived the last stand at the Azovstal steelworks in spring 2022. Captured by Russian forces, he endured a short period of captivity before being exchanged.

Krotevych then chose to return to the front, and became increasingly outspoken during his final period of military service, openly criticising other commanders who he believed had been careless with soldiers’ lives.

It is worth reading the whole article, though.

Uh, it is all market manipulation. Tarrifs, subsidies, grants, hell, even tax breaks on selected things, sectors, etc… China. The EU and the USA, well most countries do it.

Anyway, the point here is that no one who knows how to play the market should have moved a dime through the fluctuations but many people get overly jumpy for no reason. This crap will pass but the media is fear mongering a bit too much.

Yes, those who wanted to play with risk, could have bought into the dip. You do not have to be a millionaire/billionate to know or do any of this. You just have to be in the market as to make some money. Like Google is not going out of business, if the stock went down then yeah why not buy into it?

I recall that when the Iraq war broke out, tons of soulless stockbrokers went nuts into American weapon manufacturers, specifically corps that made missile parts.

It is always the same and the same thing happens all the time. Same with the Ukrainian war. Guess who invested in weapon manufacturers again?

Hey, I think you are replying to me? But Iwas not the one who said, “in the long run,” that was the poster above me.

I did not make that claim. But nevertheless, if I may, 25 years from now, is a long time. I agree that many things can change. But right not, when it comes to privacy, the next 5-10 years do not look good.

I use Linux on all my machines due to privacy, and tech background, I like Linux, and because I support FOSS. If you do too, we are less than 5% of all users, likely closer to 4%.

I use Firefox based browsers, and if you do too, we are less than 4% of all internet users. Closer to 3%.

If you use the Fediverse. The entire Fediverse cannot be more than 100 million. I posted elsewhere that all Lemmy users are less than 433,000, total. We are likely under 20 million or maybe a tad more? FB has like 3 billion. Twitter has hundreds of millions, I believe. Even Bluesky is like 32 million. Feel free to fact check me on that, it has been a while since I last checked.

Everything is turning into subscriptions services and at least in my circle of friends, when I mentioned the fact that people have bought corporate microphones that listen to everything that they say, with clips of those going to corporate, they all accept it as fact, but there follows this weird uncomfortable cognitive dissonance where people accept it but do not want to really think about it because they like asking Alexa for weather alerts and to play music, etc. And they are all fine with it. When I deal with normie people, they are 100% on board with giving away all privacy if it saves them a click or two. Maybe in 25 years it may be different, but this is not changing in 5 years. That is for sure. Maybe not even 10 or more. The majority is likely to not really change in that time. Since tech trends are heading into even less privacy, in the aggregate.

There was no real Twitter exodus to here. Most users came and went back. Or ended up in Threads, stuck there since FB will delete their IG account if they delete their Threads ID or BlueSky and even that last one is starting to go down already. Peak was Nov, 2024.

I think you overestimate the normie mindset. Most people want a heavily curated, walled garden and silos which high-end corps provide, if sold under convenience. Most are not going to go around looking at say Lemmy or Mastodon instances and pick and decide. Most people who use WhatsApp can barely switch to something that does not utterly spy on them despite the fact they know that Meta spies on their Meta data. FB is wretched but it has billions of user, alone. Doubt it will be the fediverse.

If this is to be believed, all Lemmy users do not even break 433,300 users total. Unless I am reading it wrong.

Ignore it. It is really that simple. Like what are you going to do?

Get into arguments because someone disagrees with you on the internet? LOL

Life is already short enough as it is.

A large property in the woods with a river running through it. I can literally setup my own mini power generation source if the stream is powerful enough. So I get to at least be partly off-grid.

Both of those facts can exist at the same time. I believe I am partly banned from some Subs if only because I disagreed with the Reddit Hivemind and the Mods crazy power trips.

Lemmy is 1000% more open minded.

Literally our metabolic system. You eat materials like minerals that are dead and your body absorbs them and turns those into a part of you.

That’s the neat part, you don’t.

Literally Jews pushing the German government that is centre-Left to help them call other Jews anti-semetic. As it pushes for Germany to continue sending weapons and money to kill Palestinians.

Legal experts told me that invoking Staatsräson in deportation proceedings is legally dubious. A recent parliamentary review reached a similar conclusion, noting that Staatsräson – often cited to justify Germany’s foreign policy toward Israel, including the plan of the incoming chancellor, Friedrich Merz, to invite Benjamin Netanyahu despite an active international criminal court arrest warrant – carries no legally enforceable weight.

Abraham said he had planned to return to Israel the day after the closing ceremony, but that he changed his plans during a stop-off in Greece, when he learned that Israeli media outlets were describing his speech as antisemitic, with some citing German officials.

As well as receiving death threats on social media, Abraham said several individuals turned up at his family members’ home in Israel, causing them to vacate the premises out of fear for their safety.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/feb/27/israeli-director-receives-death-threats-after-officials-call-berlinale-antisemitic

Why do you think that is the case? Honest question.

“In the runup to the election, parties across the spectrum, from the Greens to the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), spoke about migration as a security threat, and promised deportations and tighter controls. In this climate, Palestine has turned into somewhat of a litmus test for asylum policy.”

Worth noting that the ones doing this are the Left and Center-Left parties that are IN power. As these parties are Left leaning when compared to the US Republicans and even US Democrats. To us, many Dem policies are Right of the Canadian Liberals or even our Conservarives. So much for freedom of speech.

Christian aspect aside the CDU they are closer to our Canadian Liberals in many of their policies same as the Greens. The AdF are ignored, so weird that they focus on them when they are not even the ones literally making and doing these policies.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

Are there any other sources that you may know about this? This is a huge claim and one that we would benefit to have more of, as far as it can be backed up from multiple sources.

Anyone have say, video of this?

Edit: Literally, why am I getting downvoted? Because I ask for extra proof for my own sake, which is the reasonable thing to do? Relax. No wonder some people think that some on our side are crazy.

Thanks to the kind poster who took my question seriously and provide links. Thank you.

Nice.

We Went to Greenland to Ask About a Trump Takeover - POLITICO

"U.S. interest in Greenland remained the stuff of private, long-range government planning until news broke in August 2019 that Trump had become preoccupied with the idea of buying the island.

The idea reportedly sprang from a conversation with Estée Lauder heir Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, though a person close to Lauder said that notion of an outright purchase originated elsewhere. “Lauder never said to buy Greenland,” said the person, who was granted anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Instead, the person said, Lauder merely told Trump it was “in our interest to engage more, have deeper ties.”"

Read about Operation Condor. Its actions, repercussions and number of deaths due to it, and continue to pretend the USA follows Democratic Values™. And this is just but one example.

They are just better at PR than most. You are walking proof of it.
