Former mod of a number of communities. This account is now inactive.

  • You do realize I'm talking about the planes full of migrants deported without due process, not just one case, right?

  • Explain how your Mental gymnastics is twisting the literal text into something it's not, and I'll apologize. Give me a line by line of the actual text, not an interpretation. I came with facts. You've come with feelings.

  • Let's say that the trump admin is deporting gangs. Cool. Gangs are NOT NATIONS OR GOVERNMENTS.

    love how you ignored the protections and jurisdictions bit...

    Your still wrong.

  • Can you read?

    The actual text, from the beginning:

    Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government...

    Don't come at me with opinions of meaning. I gave you the actual text.

  • Nope

    It requires a declaration of war. Only Congress can do that.

    Furthermore, people being legally deported under that act have protections

    Once all that has legally been done, the federal courts have final say.

    So, this is all illegal, and you need to read up on things you no nothing about.

  • Not as much as you'd think.

    Parent bullet point is the user. Child bullet points are communities they run/ran

  • I'm another mod of the community. Admiral didn't let me know they were doing this.

    I still 100% support their actions regardless.

  • After reviewing the actual legal filing, you're correct. I somehow missed that.

    All persons (corporate or individual) in the United States who participated in an Affiliate Program with a United States online merchant and had affiliate attribution redirected to Paypal as a result of the Honey browser extension.

    Thanks for the clarification.

  • The YouTubers can only sue for actual damages THEY realized.

    As the class is for content creators that partnered with Honey, it can only be for the affiliate links.

    Users will need to sue separately, either individually or as a different class. My money is on them having a forced arbitration clause, so direct lawsuit will most likely be out of the question.

  • Ahh. The good ole junk drawer.

    I've had one in every home I've lived, even when I was the minor.

    Wife says the same.

  • Sorry for the confusion. I was referencing this comment:

    Your fanclub doesn’t represent a significant demographic

    Most every group that's not Republican or Democrat is in that boat. Not enough people to even get recognized. Very seldom do we see others even get a seat at the table.

  • We can say the same about Stein.

  • Fuck, this his hard. As a father of a gay child, and a trans child, our immediate plans are passports.

  • Report directly to the authorities

    100% agree with this. You reported the post in politicalmemes with this as the reason:

    misinformation; these phone numbers route to a politically-aligned organization

    What was the misinformation? The title says "[META] Where to call if you witness anyone intimidating or harassing at polling places." and the image clearly states who is behind it.

    If you can state that they aren't there to help, and provide proof, I'll back down, but the fact that you came at it as "lies", that's a bold claim.

    Again, contact authorities, but there's nothing wrong with having other avenues to assistance.

  • I agree, but every avenue at our disposal are forms. They will receive them, and I encourage that people DO report them to the FBI and Justice department. What I'm also saying is that those methods async, while this one is offering real-time assistance.

    I would never say "don't notify the authorities". I am just saying that if you can put some weight behind your report and get it resolved while you are there, that's a good thing too.

    You assuming that because they are a political org, they will play partisan politics, so to ignore them out-of-hand makes me wonder what you would do in their position.

    Not all people are evil, and again, I'm not saying not to report to the proper authorities. I'm just saying that reporting to the proper authorities may take weeks or months, where this may help you in minutes or hours - in time for the vote.

  • I called the top number (the "NATIONWIDE" number).

    They were very prompt. I asked them if someone - regardless of political leaning - were to call, what they would actually do, and how this would be a better solution to other services like the ones listed by OP.

    One thing is there's no real-time solution available anywhere in the U.S., from what I can find, nor what they are aware of.

    Next, when we call, they will route your call to the proper escalation path, depending on the nature of the call. This also means that if you're being intimidated, they will reach out to the law enforcement for your polling station (city/county/state as needed). This is regardless of your political leaning. They would be contacting the proper authorities on behalf of the Democratic National Support Hotline, which carries a bit of weight, as they do have an army of lawyers at their disposal, for if it's not resolved in a timely fashion.

    I was on hold for a while to get a better understanding of how things worked, to see if this was, in fact, a valid and viable option.

    Yes, it IS partisan org, but they state they will not play partisan politics with intimidation.

    TL;DR: they are there to do something the government can't/won't - provide immediate resolution to voter intimidation regardless of your political leaning.

  • As a mod, what I can say is this:

    If something of yours is removed, or you receive a ban, send us a message. We can work through it. Also, if you see something, report it.

    We're volunteers, and don't police every comment or post, as we have full-time jobs. We tend to look at the reports, try to gather some context if time allows, then take action or not, based on the community rules.

    Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

  • Looking back, that was a bad day, with tons of reports coming in, and I believe the mod team was just working the reports as fast as they could.

  • It's not that simple though; Israel wants to eliminate Hamas (and they have plenty of reason for that -- if Mexico attacked the US like Hamas attacked Israel, there would simply put no longer be a Mexico). It would be tone deaf to Israel to say "leave Gaza" without that mission accomplished. They claim they don't even want the area, they just want Hamas gone. Furthermore, Hamas is fighting with guerilla tactics. They're intentionally trying to provoke war crimes. Israel doesn't have to be so dang willing to fall for the trap. However, Hamas is making it exceptionally hard to fight a clean war from what I've read. Citizens in the Gaza strip are not just being abused by the IDF but by Hamas. I wouldn't be surprised if Biden has his own Intel to back that all up. If it were as obvious as people want it to be, I'm pretty sure we would've stopped sending aid by now.

    This was the comment. Emphasis added.

    The reason a mod called it bad faith: Israelis were actively settling the land after the IDF cleared it out.
