We all read about the attempts to charge a US Citizen for destruction of evidence for using the distress pin on his GOS phone. So what is safe to do if you know you will be traveling internationally? Are people getting a burner phone and leaving their normal phone at home? What's to stop you from saying you dont have a phone if you are stopped at a border crossing?

I agree land is probably easier than land, it let's me avoid the TSA, which is very transphobic right now to say the least.

Financially I need to just... wait. I'm gonna get a better job, then I can save up to move near the Northern border while I wait to get in to Canada (I would die of heatstroke if I go South.

My family still thinks the Dems are great. It's absurd. I wish I could convince them somehow. But they aren't wrong about the Dems being better than Trump.

trump is definitely an extreme case, one who should never have gotten anywhere near the position he is in now.

i want to agree, but i think he might just be the natural result of what the usa has slowly become.

trump was always inevitable, he was even predicted years ago, he is the result of a sick, twisted society. kanye ran for the presidency in 2020, and is doing so again 2028

krusty the clown, or andrew tate will probably be next.
