Just like how the Vietnam troops were celebrated when they came home? (they weren't celebrated they were shunned) https://www.encyclopedia.com/history/encyclopedias-almanacs-...


And did the feds shut down the facility due to public outcry?


I mean, after the lawsuit was filed, ICE shutdown the facility and expedited the deportations of all who had filed the suits leaving no paper trail and nowhere for the lawsuits to go. That's not exactly what I'd expect from an org acting on the up and up.


where does it say he's the owner of thedonald.win?


this could literally just be a web app and there would be no loss in functionality...


I was going to say this. This looks like a job for an https web app that is difficult to block...

or perhaps just make a massive group text in an existing tool like discord or whatsapp?

If the US didn't hold this position, someone else would. Who would you rather be in control.


Someone else, definitely.
