A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:
Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

"Don't Engage, Just Block"
A tipsy note to newcomers:
We do not engage with bad faith actors here.
Block works really well.
Also, you can hide someone's comment on your posts from ALL views permanently (do so before blocking).
Don't give them attention.
Guard your peace and your piece!
P.S. Use alt text!!!

Which suggests to me that we need to not only teach anti anxiety tools to everyone, but culturally included them into our everyday lives regardless of whether we feel we need them
Surveillance tech is changing our behaviour – and our brains
A new study shows that simply knowing we are being watched can unconsciously heighten our awareness of other people’s gaze.

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.
