I'm not arguing that Obama is worse than Trump or vice versa. I don't think anything will meaningfully change unless we can acknowledge that the US is inhumanely monstrous to immigrants regardless of which party is in charge. Obviously Trump's escalated use of ICE like Gestapo is abhorrent, but it isn't a new role for the agency.

I'm just looking at numbers from this article , which is citing TRAC data, putting Obama at 3.1M people deported and Trump at 932T for his first term and "about 200k during his first four months". It also notes that this is lagging behind the deportation numbers of Biden during a similar time frame.

It's true that we may not know the full extent of either administration's horrors for many years.

Kinda weird day to announce this

Trump is still over a million people under Barrack's deportation record. It's a vile machine that hasn't stopped or faltered regardless of which party rules.

I actually wonder why this church was prepared for that. Synagogues will often have armed security but that's because they're a target for Nazi extremists.

I think it's nigh impossible to come up with strict rules about these things.

I also think it's fine that women have spaces that are just for them.

It's utterly baffling that the dnc isn't as obstructionist as the rnc if they truly hold the ideals they claim to

I'm in a SFH but all the bathrooms are very proximal to the heater so it slaps

I'm so thrown off by our current shower which legit heats up in 2 seconds. I was so used to waiting like a minute for it to warm up, I built my rituals around that. But this one... it's just hot, like right away. Bizarre

Gotta remember that AI isn't occasionally hallucinating and often recalling information, it's never recalling information, it's always hallucinating, just that we say we like some of the hallucinations, so it does those more often.
