United States: French researcher turned back for expressing “personal opinion on Trump administration’s policy
“The space researcher was allegedly randomly checked on arrival, during which his professional computer and personal telephone were allegedly searched. Similarly, messages about the Trump administration’s treatment of scientists have been found.”
Y'all hear that, Americans? Having opinions is no longer allowed. I'd ask you what you think of that, but I wouldn't want to get you into trouble.
Remind me what Vance had to say about our lack of freedom of speech in the EU again?
It’s all double standards, all the way down
Trump is a piece of shit and his entire schtick hinges on the idea of people being so afraid they will comply on their own because he lacks the capability to force them.
Come. At. Me. Motherfuckers.
Literally what the first amendment is supposed to protect, but Americans are only interested in freedumbs, such as dying of preventable diseases or being mad at trans folks for existing.
Good luck checking my laptop. I hope you enjoy looking at the UEFI password prompt. If You get past that, a LUKS password prompt awaits you. Finally, you have to guess my unlisted user name and password to get access to my system.
Fuck Trump and Musk with the same cactus.
Why was my post copied to this community?
It was cross posted from a .ml comm to the closest relevant non-.ml comm as part of on-going boycott efforts due to the misinformation and propaganda spreading/narrative enforcement that the admins and mods of .ml do to push tankie ideology.
Tankies generally praise authoritarian governments such as Russia or China and deny the wrongdoings of them. For example, they often push the Russian propaganda that Ukraine was "full of Nazis" and Russia did nothing wrong.
Just recently they started pushing the propaganda that Russia invaded as a simple "diplomatic maneuver"

Idk, but the root cause of this situation is the fact that border agencies have been allowed to just get access to everyone's personal devices. If you encrypt them, they wont let you enter. If you wipe them, they wont let you enter. The devastating consequences of these invasive rules have been predicted for decades and now we see that those predictions were spot on. If you give governments the tools to be authoritarian dictatorships, they will eventually use them.
i love freedom
