Hey everyone πŸ’™,

I’m Onandrah. I’m a trans woman and refugee living with my sisters in Gorom Camp, South Sudan. We fled Uganda after the anti-gay bill was passed, and things have been very hard here.

Recently, people from the host community attacked us for being trans. Our shelters were burned down, and two of my sisters were badly injured. We rushed them to the only private hospital willing to help, and with the amazing support of some comrades, we’ve managed to pay part of the hospital bill but we’re still short.

We need help covering about $825 more to finish the hospital bills, relocate somewhere safer, and get food + medicine so we can recover.

Every kind word, share, or donation truly means the world. If you’d like to help or just connect, my mutual aid link is in my profile or DM me anytime.

Thank you so much for letting me be here solidarity and love to everyone fighting to survive and find safety. πŸ™πŸΏ

NOT MINE, GO TO THE OOP, PLZ

I must remind everyone though, a banana IS a berry too!

Am I the only one who beleives that it would have been a more effective arguement to try and use the 4th amendment instead of the 1st? Violating free speech is just a weak claim, but "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches..." seems quite relevent here. But I am also not a lawyer.

Oh is that what it was? Well, that's helpful to know, thanks! Though it turned out to be a blessing because it forced me to make the jump to linux and now I would hate to go back anyways...

Back when I was first in high school, I got into torrenting and gave myself pretty bad malware that just black-screened my laptop, and even though it had shipped with windows, the installer would not detect my ssd for whatever reason. Linux detected my hardware and I installed Ubuntu, then Mint, and I moved to Arch a few years ago after having learned the ropes. That's about when I fully spiralled into linux nerd.

Thanks for the extensive response! You make some really good points and I was unaware of the political ick. Not sure if it's enough to make me leave them because they do seem to at least handle the privacy aspect of their services correctly (for now at least), but those do seem like good areas that I'm going to watch more closely about them from now on.

Can I ask what those other reasons are? (genuinely curious if I should switch away from them)
