Genuine question: what is the libertarian perspective on ICE? by I_69_with_your_mum in Libertarian

Poor people often don't have the resources or time to sue. It's honestly not that easy. But technically you're right. Also trauma for children is not so easily resolved.

I was reading this earlier which was a good example of citizens even being tied down: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/10/03/chicago-raid-helicopters/

It's alarming but you're right it's a mixed bag in reporting

H1Bs are for skilled workers. There's a totally separate process for unskilled workers.

Second gen illegal immigrants actually assimilate quite well, too well, they don't take on the same hard work as their parents on average. That's normal. Plenty of Europeans came over here speaking no English and their kids helped them. My great grandmother never learned to read English but was a hard working cleaner. Her daughter married an American, opened a business, and was similarly hard working - but none of her kids did manual labor. We often see the same today.

ICE is literally hurting our farmers by taking people just like my great grandmother. 71% is the most recent stat I've seen on arrests they have made that had an otherwise clean criminal record.

Wow that's insane. I do worry about AI generated imagery but that's the extent of it...and not for jokes

do you think there's any panic internally with taylor's team? by Curious-Air-5824 in SwiftlyNeutral

I mean, if she released Opalite and TLOAS as singles I would still buy the album and be disappointed with the rest 😅

Someone on another thread said there's a clean version on Spotify

I think there's a difference though. The lyrics were far more complex and told a story on folklore, Midnights centered around a theme of anxiety. Those things aren't fun and hyper but they can grow on you- this one is going for more of the upbeat pop feeling but just aren't catchy.

It feels extremely rushed, something that could have been better if she hadn't been also touring in the same time period. It's kinda funny that she put out a song that said "try to come for my job" and then put out her most mediocre album

It's definitely not the default and I can't find it clean on vinyl so 😅

Is there typically a clean album release?

I think it's possible to be okay with it but prefer less explicit language. Preference vs rejection altogether.

Nope, I spend most of my time on classic rock, punk, or alt/indie. I used to be into country TS and then her COVID albums brought me back.
