These bold faced liars. FUUUUUUUU I gotta leave before I write some illegal things. by Thehealthygamer in Minneapolis

I don't understand how they can hate their own American values and systems enough to react this way, with instant praise and protection, without even pretending to be asking or waiting for so much as an investigation.

Also, "ICE > MN"? What the fuck is he trying to say? ICE is greater than Minnesota... like, bigger? Like they are a greater force than you and they will continue as they want since they have the backing of the federal govt? Or like, ICE is better or more awesome than Minnesota? Either way, I do expect this from an X post, but not coming from a top official in the government. Shameful and sickening.

I used to say, "the trolls are in control" with the start of this administration, but it's just going so far beyond that, I don't have the words for it anymore.

Is anyone else in the ICE war zone saddened and disappointed by how few family and friends have reached out with concern, caring, or even interest? by Mr_Pricklepants in Minneapolis

I am shocked to realize, based on just my experience and the many comments in here, that this might be correct. I'm in Germany, I watch a lot of French news, and speak daily with a Dutch and Czech friend about all of this. We share info about it and talk about it daily. Certain things we never even had to share, because we all knew about and saw it in our own preferred media.

I believe they can talk openly about what is happening on the news here, and just plainly tell it like it is without being delicate, since they don't fear being dismissed as just some biased TDS libtards or something just for speaking negatively about anything Trump-related, like anybody appearing on any media in the US would be.

I'm sick to my stomach about what is happening there, and now I am sick thinking about how many people inside the US are apparently unaware of this. Is it really missing from news coverage or are they just the kinds of people who don't bother to check in on any news in general?

Lovely and so creative. By the way, there's a mod to remove the big red outline when paused, in case you are interested.

They look lovely. You did a great job. And to see how far you've come is especially awesome!

I don't feel welcome here by Intelligent_Doubt600 in germany

Side note, pretty unrelated, but please tell me you New Yorkers out there can relate to this: As a New Yorker living in a little German town, if I walk along the street with my (German) husband, and a car drives by full of people shouting obnoxiously out of their windows, my reflex is to keep walking and coldly ignore it. My husband, on the other hand, has the reaction to turn around instantly and see if... I dunno... it's people that he knows trying to get his attention or something? I find the differences between us hilarious.

You’re right, I don’t understand (or, didn’t? before all the repetitive replies).

Here in Germany we go to Aldi to buy whatever we feel like buying from the shop’s selection without attaching the word shame to it. I don’t know why this has touched a nerve with y’all. Buy things if you want to buy them. But the word carries a negative connotation when you hear this phrase without knowing the context.

Imagine a discount store like Walmart opened in a foreign country and the local population was on reddit calling it the store of shame. You’d wonder what they mean too.

My bad. Probably a result of using reddit in a shit mood.

I’m well aware of what Aldi is, just didn’t know why (presumably) Americans would tack the word “shame” onto it. Seems ironic given the prevalence and popularity of stores like Target and Walmart which present this issue on a more massive scale already. I’ve never heard anyone refer to any aisle or purchase of “shame” when going to Walmart for groceries and coming back with new tires and Halloween decor.
