Have you ever been to the U.S.? We can’t all drive 3,000 km. We live in a country with drastically lower population density than European countries.

The U.S. is pretty much as big as Europe.

It’s not easy to drive thousands of kilometers to get to their mansions. These marches happened all over the place, in major cities and capital cities.

I haven’t been banned from Reddit.

I want Lemmy to succeed because I want to interact more with people who are not from the U.S., and I don’t want to use platforms from the people who were sitting behind him on inauguration day.

Since Elon feels that he can interfere in Reddit and since Reddit seems open to letting that happen, that’s a good sign to me that I should limit my use of Reddit and should use alternatives instead. Lemmy seems to be the most Reddit-like of those alternative platforms, so here I am.

They predict -3.7% if yesterday was somehow the end of it, but we know it’s not.

-3.7% would be a dream compared to what’s actually likely.

The possibility of a situation like this is why people never succeeded in repealing the second amendment.

And whether or not we agreed with that fact, it is likely to have some effect on the situation now.

This time may be different because the police may have a lot greater reason to join the people than they did in the past. The police’s retirements were also wiped out, and the police’s family members are a lot more likely to have been affected by those tariffs. I think it’s too pessimistic to say what you’re saying, because the number of people affected now is significantly greater.

An uprising seems likely, and an attempt at brutal suppression also seems likely, but the United States regime has also made enemies of almost every other country on the planet, and the groundswell of people is very large. The number of people in the protests today was massive:

If you see the sheer numbers, it’s enough to give hope.

Visa won’t be able to make commercials like this anymore.

Well it won’t be after the next one!

Unfortunately, there have been a lot of Dred Scotts of our time.

Dobbs, Trump v Anderson, et cetera.

38.3% of voters.

Not 38.3% of the population.

Pretty significant difference.

Narcissistic psychopaths gonna narcissistic psychopath.

They are free to leave the US and stop empowering our enemy with their taxes.

Oh you think so, hmm?

You think that a lot of us haven’t been looking at every country that might be worthwhile, including spending years learning additional languages, researching our ancestry several generations deep to find countries where we might be able to get ancestry, applying for literally dozens to hundreds of jobs on literally all other continents, and even taking IELFS training and tests and looking at industry changes for jobs just to be able to get out?

It’s not as easy as you think. Even Canada and Mexico have strict requirements that a lot of the people in the U.S. can’t meet.

Literally the closest comparison is the people who wanted to flee Nazi Germany.

Get some perspective. The people who you are complaining about are on the same side as you. We don’t want anything to happen to Canada, and if something does happen between the U.S. and Canada, we will be each other’s best hope.

As a U.S. Citizen, PLEASE don’t buy these products. Please don’t give in.

As someone from the U.S., I was so hesitant to switch to another OS, but damn. With everything that’s going on, I kind of feel that I have to switch over to Graphene OS.

This is insane.

What international alternatives exist for YouTube? And I understand RedNote as an alternative for TikTok, but YouTube fills a little bit of a different niche.

The people in the blue states are afraid for their lives.

This isn’t a situation where the people in the blue states need to be aware of the danger Trump poses to Canadians and the problems he poses for Canada and need to be made aware of it.

The people in the blue states are unable to afford much of anything now, not food, not healthcare, not housing, not transportation, nothing. And on top of that, they’re afraid of being disappeared because the Trump regime is disappearing people for no cause, because of things like having an autism awareness tattoo or like publishing a letter.

It’s not to say that what Canada is facing from Trump isn’t bad, but no, people in the blue states are MORE aware of the dangers of Trump than you are. Canadians are justified in reacting, absolutely, but people in the U.S. in blue states are not unaware of what’s going on, and don’t need Canadians to make them aware of these things.

No they came for the trans people first, too.

Gee, I can’t imagine why Germany would want to slow down government actions…

It looks like a lot of US states are about to declare backsies.
