As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.
Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.
Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.
Period.
Actual conversation I had…
Me: Billionaire philanthropy is nothing more than PR. Tax billionaires.
Troll: Lol you trust the Govt to spend our money?
Me: Yes, the Govt is elected by We the People, and therefore is accountable to us and can be voted out.
Troll: Govt is bought.
Me: Bought by who?
Troll: By billionai—...😳
Me: ...🤔
Troll: Ok, Tax billionaires.
This claim is false.
Law enforcement has the ability to get stored communications from companies like Twitter under 18 USC 2703(d). This is a famous "d-order" that has to be signed by a judge.
Companies can demand reimbursement under 2706. You can argue that 2703 should have a higher standard, but if the government can get to user data should it be free or should the companies ask for a nominal cost?
This is absolutely nothing to do with content moderation.
Provocation: anyone expecting to use Mastodon at no cost is inviting the entry of ads and VCs to this space.
We need commons, not dependency.

Consider the following two observations.
1. Kids raised in poverty can alter the impact of certain genotypes, altering adult behavior.

2. Being lifted out of poverty as a kid with UBI ends up positively impacting adult behavior.

“Do you know that it's possible your genetic makeup could be a genotype that leads to flourishing in the presence of sufficient household income and suffering in its absence compared to those without the same genes? Chew on that for a minute… https://t.co/LLV5ps5foa #BasicIncome”
It's very important to understand, fascists don't just see hypocrisy as a necessary evil or an unintended side-effect.
It's the purpose. The ability to enjoy yourself the thing you're able to deny others, because you dominate, is the whole point.
For fascists, hypocrisy is a great virtue—the greatest.
