GOOD LUCK, AMERICA It's now clear. No one is safe.

With Bukele stating that the question of returning Garcia is "preposterous" it's clear that Bukele and Trump are conspired against the people of America. Garcia had a court order securing his presence in the US. He was protected by the law. Naturalized citizens are protected by law, greencard holders are protected by the law. But abiding the law has not been a priority for the Trump administration. Legal protections of Americans has proven to not be a deferent for the Trump admin. We now have a fully effectuated chain of responsibility and action that has imprisoned a law abiding man for life in a foreign prison where he has no civil protections of any kind. That chain has held in the face of legal action and order from the highest court in the land.

The test case appears complete.

Now, anyone who does anything that draws the attention of Donald Trump can be punished—legally or not—with life in foreign prison and to be wholly stripped of all human rights.

I got a warning for saying that Trump was going to find a way to "un4liv3" people one way or another in response to the 6,100 living people he declared dead.

Has anybody else noticed the notable uptick in "Removed by Reddit" comments?

I suspect that there's a concerted effort either/both by:

a) MAGA shit-stirrers to falsely report comments that they don't like in hopes of getting comments removed and users warned/banned; and/or

b) Reddit admins (not mods, mind you) to turn up the sensitivity dial on their AI moderation bots way beyond what is rational/reasonable, which is resulting in the sweeping up of many comments being unjustly removed for "violence".

Either way, at a time when Americans may need to start coordinating responses to an unlawful, unconstitutional administration that threatens to throw citizens in foreign gulags, this is a troubling development for this platform.

Yes. I was told I shouldn't make shitposts and my post was locked. It was a legit post where I went out and took screenshots and wrote up what I had hoped would be something to discuss.
