Among other terrible things, this is exactly why Google shoving Android "SafetyCore" onto all Android phones is absolutely evil. Illegal phone searches become a casual click on a cloud interface to target millions with whatever they want to find.

good thing we can delete that, i deleted that app as soon as i saw the post, but i heard it comes back everytime it updates. and im pretty sure google will make that a permanent thing down the line. (probably againt pixel phones)
How do you find it? I don't see an app called SafetyCore on my phone
it is called Android SafetyCore I think. Look under all apps, if you have other stuff called Android blah but not this probably does not exist in your phone.
Court decisions are just optional now. Who needs a court when you are judge and jury?
Hey where was the motherfucker arguing they wouldnt deport legal people with me here? Huh? Where ya at?
They literally don't care. All they want is to win an argument against leftists in the moment; they actually see it as a weakness to be beholden to facts.
They're playing a different "game" entirely, one where rhetoric is more important than reality.
This point should be understood by all - they're programmed to get a dopamine hit in the moment by pissing you off.
They're not arguing in good faith and all the time you spend making rational statements is a waste. Nobody is keeping a scorecard that punishes them for losing an intellectual discussion.
The opposition to MAGA has to find a new path, because applying rational arguments in discussions ain't going to work.
This is why calling them weird was sort of effective. It's not a fact, it's an opinion. Now, I think it's a widely held opinion, but the point is it wasn't something they could argue with. It was sort of playing the game they've been playing.
Playground antics can work on these types of people. First, you have to understand who they think they are, and what they take pride in. Then attack them incessantly based on the knowledge of what constitutes their ego.
This is happening again and again: judges rule that deportations are illegal, then Trump's people just kidnap the victim and deport them anyway. A whole lot of people were just deported to a prison in a foreign country whose government has said they will never be released. They will be slave labor for a foreign country until they die, and there was no trial, no due process, no evidence presented for their being guilty of any crime. It's just the executive branch of the US government kidnapping people and trafficking them into slavery abroad, completely overriding its own judicial system. The USA is already a dictatorship, and it only took a few weeks.

If only we could have foreseen this and prevented it somehow
BUt GeNoCiDe JoE!
Constitutional crisis time! Who's ready to defend their rights and fight for democracy!
"I'll stand peacefully on a sidewalk holding up a sign to defend democracy, so long as no harm comes to me." - Americans
As an anti gun person my whole life, I am considering buying a gun to defend my rights as our 2nd amendment was designed to protect.
I think Democrats need to start forming or partnering with like like minded, armed groups, to help reinforce the importance and need for action. Then we have our support shown how we will defend our rights if actions are not taken.
I am not advocating for violence, but we cannot show up to a gun right with cardboard signs.
Do it. Same reason I did. The reality of it sucks, but it’s the way of the world. Don’t let conservatives be the only ones armed or we’re fucked for sure

Deporting doctors, unbelievable.
Everything they do suggests the goal is just to ruin the USA and its (former) allies.
