    This tracks. According to this data the percentage of removal enforcements for people without conviction [imo wrongfully deported] climbed from around 35% to 75% between 2021 and 2024.

    To put it plainly: in 2024 ICE deported 75% for nothing. Just vibes. And this is specifically ICE, any other agency has been excluded from these numbers.

    In fact if you look at the numbers by month and year, we get a percentage of 33.3% for Feb 2021 and 74.9% for Feb 2024 for the same category.

    The ethical boundaries changed. ICE is getting direct instructions to grab anyone who looks suspicious just so they can meet their quota. Currently they are composed of a ragtag team of new hires and people pulled from other agencies with a mind-boggling budget and insane pressure to meet numbers that are unreachable. They are being pressure cooked by their command chain and in that environment of course empathetic people will just sign out and people with an agenda or psychopaths will stay. So the direct command is to focus not only on people with criminal history (which even back then meant people with traffic offenses and other minor violations) but also now people with no criminal record at all, which puts the whole purpose of this agency into question and kind of rips this agency away from it’s core structure and goals.

    For a more fulsome picture of the agency, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDbtrdfYqBc

    John Harris shines a light on the change in agency culture and structure by using a list of different sources and data to show their current tasks and goals.






  • legally it depends on local laws.

    Yeah nah. Romeo & Juliet laws don’t cover this because 14 and 20 is too far apart. And you can not legally consent if you’re under 18 in almost all developed countries. There is no legal debate for these countries.

    There definitely are some 14-year-olds that are mature enough to consent.

    Hard disagree. Some will say or act like they consent but at 14 your brain is not fully developed. They might find out how bad of a decision that was only 10 years later. Consent does not only mean verbal or physical agreement, but also to be absolutely sure someone has a full understanding of all actions and consequences, and at 14 you can not presume that. There’s a reason the age of consent is 18. Almost everyone has developed a grasp of these things at 18yo and above.

  • Yeah both ADHD and autism is harder to diagnose in girls and women because for a good bit there was an assumption that they can’t get it, because their symptoms usually present very different. Now it has been recognized in the DSM-5 for a while but psychology is kind of playing catch up with them, so it takes time for actual therapists to learn to isolate those new diagnoses.

    I personally believe that one of the reasons this is so hard is that girls culturally tend to value social interaction way higher than boys, giving them more experience, which leads to better masking skills, and all these skills do is hide the symptoms. Thus it also becomes harder to diagnose. I asked a group of peers who had autism if they ever tried or considered to withdraw from society or social interactions. The 2 men said they considered it but ultimately it wasn’t feasible, the 2 women said they never even considered it, which kind of supports that hypothesis, although it’s all anecdotal.

    But yeah, we’ve come a long way to finally diagnose and treat women appropriately as well.
