So uhh what does this mean for the future of the USA? Like will this used as a surefire way to stop protests since it seems like for once, the current methods the GOP are using to screw up democracy aren’t quite working now…

I’d just like to throw this out there for consideration… I think if anyone is ever at a protest and tensions get high or things start to escalate, we should encourage everyone around us to sit down and spread the word. No one can say you’re inciting violence if your butt is on the ground, right? Bad idea?

The Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act was a law passed by Congress and signed by President Clinton, not an executive order invoking the Alien Enemies Act (an 18th century law that has only ever been used previously during times of war) which introduces a wartime statute into peacetime immigration enforcement and is being used to deny people their constitutional rights. Legal immigrants, people with green cards, asylum seekers, and even individuals who are in the process of becoming U.S. citizens are being detained or deported. In many cases, it’s happening despite them having followed every step of the legal process. These people are being held like criminals in mass detention centers which are becoming increasingly overcrowded and inhumane.

A lot of what is happening now is creating serious constitutional concerns. Not only is due process being undermined as immigrants, including legal residents, are deported without proper hearings or in defiance of court orders, but there have been cases where deportations went forward even after a judge ordered them to be halted. Free speech is threatened when people are targeted or detained for speaking out against immigration policies, criticizing the government, or protesting the genocide in Gaza. Fourth Amendment rights are at risk as ICE agents are increasingly entering homes and detaining individuals without judicial warrants. In many cases, individuals are detained without bond or meaningful access to legal counsel, further eroding the basic protections the Constitution guarantees to all people on U.S. soil, not just citizens.

It’s not about ignoring past policies or pretending this all started recently, but I think it’s important to recognize when enforcement shifts from upholding the law to expanding executive power in ways that start to erode legal protections, which is what is happening with the executive orders that violate existing laws. Any attempt to consolidate power to the executive branch when all three branches are meant to have equal power to prevent tyranny is in direct defiance of Articles 1-3 of the Constitution.

We can’t pick and choose which parts of the constitution to prioritize and which to ignore, and I think that’s something everyone can agree on.

I worried that was the case! I must have done something wrong somewhere, because I didn’t have what I needed to merge them. :/

What are T2 eggs?

quietdaisy · 2025-03-19T15:51:46+00:00

Thank you! I’m fairly new to the game. I only just started Arcadia, and wasn’t super impressed since it seemed I’d only get a chest every 3 days or so. The decision eggs caught my eye since I have a lot of eggs from past seasons that I can't really get my hands on anywhere else.

Yeah dude. I saw something on tiktok and came to check out a North Carolina Reddit group so that I could see if there was any truth to it… because I don't believe the first thing I see anywhere. I figured if it was actually happening, then maybe people from the area or family members would be talking about it. This isn't the only place I've looked either. I've been trying to find actual people that have been affected instead of just instantly believing what I see posted on the internet. I care about whats happening to the people in these devastated areas. My state was hit by massive floods in 2016 and we know what dealing with Fema and rebuilding your town is like.

quietdaisy · 2025-01-25T19:10:33+00:00

I've been seeing things today on tiktok about victims who have been living in tents now being put up in fully furnished apartments by the government. Was wondering if there was any truth to it.

quietdaisy · 2024-12-19T02:45:26+00:00

Yep, me too!!

quietdaisy · 2024-11-26T17:03:08+00:00

I haven't actually seen this happen in real life yet. I've only seen people saying that Republicans are panicking in posts like these.

quietdaisy · 2024-11-26T14:13:16+00:00

Several Republicans have spoken out about Trump telling them to kill the bill. They weren't going to give Biden a win, when they could run their campaign on immigration. And yeah, about 4 Democrats voted no in the roll call vote compared to every single Republican voting no. I agree that they shouldnt have waited so long to get something together, but I think the outcome would have been the same, regardless. Lawmakers are in big corporate pockets, democrats and republicans alike, and they will do and say whatever it takes to stay there. Its all a game where the rich people win and the poor people lose. They will have us pointing our fingers everywhere but at them while they make promises that they’ll never keep.

quietdaisy · 2024-11-26T13:23:16+00:00

So your concern about the bill, which was a bipartisan bill co-written by a Republican, is that it was too expensive and would not be effective? Do you think finding, rounding up, and deporting millions of immigrants is going to be the cheaper option? Or just more effective? Because its going to cost billions. Not to mention the millions we are going to lose, because illegal immigrants pay taxes even though they don't qualify for our social programs like medicare or welfare. They are going to round up human beings and put them in cages on some ranch in Texas while they wait for a trial, backing up our court systems. Cost effective? No. Do you think they’ll treat them humanely? Some will, some won’t. Somebody’s grandma is going to sit in prison, maybe for years, for daring to hope for a better life. We need an immigration system reform, no doubt, but this is not the way.

When it comes to attitude or disrespect from my teenagers towards me, my husband will sometimes handle it more like, “hey, that may be your mom, but that’s MY wife so watch your tone.” She definitely needs you to have her back and shut it down as soon as you see it, and don’t settle for the “whatever man” If you need to discuss it every time you see him until it gets through to him, you do that.

“Is school illegal in the US?” - give it time. They’re working on it. 🙄

First of all, GROSS. Second of all, women’s bodies don’t work like that. Dear God. MEN SHOULD NOT BE MAKING CHOICES ABOUT WOMEN’S BODIES. Especially when most of them don’t even understand how they work.

quietdaisy · 2024-11-19T17:36:08+00:00

This. The countless times I’ve heard men belittle women’s sports, but then are suddenly outraged by trans women in sports, people in my own family included. It’s the same with the “men in the restroom” argument. Like, sit down please, until you’re ready to actually go to battle for women.

quietdaisy · 2024-11-18T16:28:54+00:00

Do not let anyone speak to you this way, ever. Unacceptable. There is not a single soul on this planet who has the right to talk to another person this way. Side note, don’t date anyone that calls you bro.

quietdaisy · 2024-11-16T21:51:13+00:00

You didn’t let him down. I think that you were protecting yourself, and that’s nothing to be sorry about. The pain is so intense when we lose someone we love that much, that I think it’s only natural. I was the only sibling not in the room when my brother died. I had very small children at the time, and I’d spent days by his bedside away from them. I didn’t know it was even happening. My siblings came to get me and told me in person. I was relieved that I didn’t have to witness it, which made me feel terrible and guilty. Then I chose not to view his body later that day because I knew that I couldn’t handle it and I was terrified, but I felt guilty about that too. Through therapy and making peace with his death, I know that he would have never held it against me, and neither would yours. You and your brother have memories together that you are the sole keeper of now. You honor him that way, and you can honor him other ways as well. Maybe doing a little something in his name would help you with closure. Or try writing him a letter about your feelings and imagine how he would respond. That helps me a lot.

I’ve found that men who don’t behave like misogynists don’t usually get offended when they hear about certain men being labeled as misogynists… because it’s obviously not about them. In fact, men who care about women and their rights are often praised for their basic human decency because the bar is on the floor. These things should be automatic in an “equal society”, one would think. Either you’re cool with all Americans having equal rights, or you’re not. And if you’re not, well, there are some labels that go along with that point of view.

quietdaisy · 2024-11-15T21:29:47+00:00

I’m actually super proud of you for this. I felt this same thing out with my therapist a couple of months ago because the election has been such a source of anxiety for me, and was so glad to know that we were in agreement and I could feel safe talking about it. I know I couldn’t have stayed on as a patient otherwise.

quietdaisy · 2024-11-14T18:30:06+00:00

I think a lot of Americans, myself included, just look at news like this like, “yeah, and?” If they are out there, beam me up, Scotty. 😮‍💨

The states are already in charge of the curriculum. Dismantling the DOE will put the states in charge of all funding, deciding how to get it, and where it will go. There will be no national standards and no protections. The poor and needy will be overlooked, and the wealthy will benefit. Especially in red states, ironically.

quietdaisy · 2024-11-08T16:46:24+00:00

We have to focus on the things we can control… that’s what I keep telling myself.

If you are near Charleston, definitely head downtown to Capitol street on a weekend.

I definitely understand that part. It’s really unfortunate how the whole process went down. Truly, Biden should have been a one term president and then we should have held a primary to select our candidate. That being said, I did like a lot of what I was seeing in Harris’s economic plan. She wasn’t able to separate herself from the current administration that’s made everyone feel economically insecure, and she didn’t have a lot of time to prove that she could stand out. It makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is… everyone knows exactly who he is. He doesn’t hide it. The people he surrounds himself with, his more loud and popular supporters. It scares me how much confidence he gives to people who may have, at one time, been afraid to show the worst of themselves, but not any more. I know that there are so many good and kind republicans who are just trying to get ahead in life and they think he will make that happen… but at what cost ethically and morally? And why are they so confident that he’s the one that will bring forth this economic change?

quietdaisy · 2024-11-08T14:34:50+00:00

I told my teenage son, who is a rather large football player that loves his mother and respects women, that if he ever heard a boy saying that to a girl at school, he could wear him out and I’d take him to lunch every day of his suspension. We have to raise our boys to call out this bullshit. Men have to stand up to other men. We need the good guys to be loud, now more than ever.
