Reminder: Never travel out of the country with your main cell phone (or without backing it up and then doing a factory reset) or laptop.

CBP agents are effectively Redcoats and they WILL delight in reminding you that they owe you no rights.

I was detained by Border Patrol and Customs for 90 minutes coming
back from a @RoyalCa ribbean cruise today in Florida.
After they rifled through all my belongings, read my personal joumal, and
confiscated rny phone and computer, I had to explain to them that the
aFreeStateNH is a non-violent, peaceful libertarian movernent that
builds community, culture and political change.
We were invited to New Hampshire in the early 2000s bythe Govemor
of the state. We reject violence as a path to creating change.
In detail, I had to explain the nature of the Defend the Guard rnovernent
and assure them that I was not part of a violent extremist group seeking
to raise a militia for insurrection against the government.
At one point during my detention, I asked for clarification on what rights I
had here as a US. citizen and was told that they did not næd a warrant
for anything in my possession, including all my elæ•tronic devices.
They eventually let me gu
Truth be told, I am shaken up and in shock right now.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

there's a picture of her with the front of her shirt just soaked in blood. imagine trying to crack an 84 year old woman's skull and body slamming an 84 year old vet leaning on a walker.

is this the warrior ethos we've heard so much about?

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

“[t]he freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.”

Went back and couldn’t return Final Fantasy Tactics Switch 2 version which is DL code only. I don’t blame them. Sold it on Mercari for a 1000 yen loss. Went back and of course FFT Switch 1 ver is sold out. Now SW2 has a huge warning sticker on it shouting no cart code only. Maybe cause me. #Physical

if Kash can go back years and fire people for kneeling or displaying a pride flag the absolute least the next Dem admin can do is fire every one of these assholes who are assaulting people on camera

No cart in the Switch 2 version!

Also, the Switch 1 version is the SAME PRICE and has a FREE SWITCH 2 DOWNLOAD upgrade thing.

Makes me want to throw furniture. @square-enix-games.com

The shop, Bic Camera, would not accept a return or swap.

ハービー @japannewbie.bsky.social · 10d

OK I’m disappointed. This Switch 2 case has NO CART INSIDE. ONLY A DOWNLOAD CODE.

Sure, it says so on the back of the package in tiny white and black text, but I ran out and bought this on release day. In my excitement I did not check and had NO REASON to suspect.

The Switch 1 version HAS a cart.
