I Came to Study Aging. Now I'm Trapped in ICE Detention.
I was detained at Logan airport after I did not complete a customs declaration for frog embryos.
You're viewing a single thread.
Proper headline:
“We Are Too Craven To Oppose Trump Directly and Tell You ICE is Killing, Raping, and Kidnapping People”
You forgot the part about a paywall. You need to pay to learn about the cravenness.

You don’t, but they don’t want you to know you can just change the URL a bit and never hit the paywall.
None of the news organizations in the USA deserve payment because they do not report news, they act as propaganda agents.
Meidas Touch is currently the best news source and they can be found on BlueSky, TikTok, YouTube, as well as their podcast.
I dont know them and I am happy other news sources exist but not having one avenue that is not billionaire controlled is kinda bad.
As a Canadian this is why I'm appealed when people want to defund CBC.
Edit: appalled*
I dont know about the cbc but german public tv is hit and miss in terms of disinformation. I meant at least one fediverse account would have been cool.
I generally find CBC to be pretty balanced and fair.
Much more than any alternatives.
I've tuned out of Mt due to their clickbait headlines. If I see one more time how trump is dealt a "DEVASTATING legal blow in court" only to see some judge wagged a finger and said "Hey don't do that anymore" I'm going to shit my organs out in exasperation.
Huh, so if I stand around near you with a big bowl, I can get some free organs? Sweet!
(also yes, the only good news reporting these days comes from random high-effort blog posts on Substack)
I feel it, too.
I prefer to use neutral sources like actual actions, voting records, and other public information - but that is too complicated for the average American with a sixth grade level reading and emotional intelligence.
I am finding the level of education seems to be a bit higher on Lemmy than other platforms, so I am considering not recommending them here.
I mostly given up on Meidas Touch, after years of videos proclaiming that Trump and the Republicans are going down hard. They do have some useful information, but it is embedded in a lot of editorializing that doesn't really do anything.
If you watch that channel, the Trump administration is on the verge of collapse, and it's too disheartening to find time and time again that it isn't.
Those are very fair criticisms.
I think Meidas is trying to get the message out to the folks who are sub-sixth grade English skills and therefore they use more emotional content to connect with the folks who are…less intellectual/less able to really understand the depth of what is going on from a reading perspective. They also try to appeal to the Gen Z audience, which is definitely annoying but also necessary.
They do these things because that is where the left’s messaging fails- at emotional people, at Gen Z, and at lower education levels.
Aaron Parnas is doing a good job, and is a lot less emotional on his TikTok and Substack. He may be a good resource as well.
The revolution will be monetised
This, very much so.
fuck the nyt, I'm from new york and I don't know anyone local who reads it
Has to be better than New York Post though
yeah, the Post is just read by right wing assholes, at least the times tries to be credible
