congratulations Campus Free Speechers, your guy made future thought crime a thing

Imagine trying to deport someone for their "expected beliefs"

Getting disappeared to some central american black site may indeed very plausibly result in radicalization toward the disappearer

Surely Bari Weiss will not care about this

tedmccormick.bsky.social•15 days ago

I guess if there's any parallel from modern history, it's probably the time some Oberlin kids said cafeteria banh mi was appropriation

just realized it looks like I'm recommending that thread for more details on the Oberlin banh mi incident, very sorry if anyone was let down

immanentizeslowly.bsky.social•14 days ago

IIrc, the kids just said the banh mi kinda sucked and was not made of ingredients banh mi is made of so isn't really banh mi.

Conor then said they called it racist and cultural appropriation even though they literally didn't

c0nfluence.bsky.social•14 days ago

Some Oberlin kid: “Bologna and mayo on white bread? You guys can’t call this a banh mi.”

Our sober and respectable punditocracy: “Stalin was nothing compared to the iron-fisted ideological enforcement college kids are exercising over our entire political system.”

Expected or actual beliefs are not crimes, I believe.

jakeofnotrades.bsky.social•15 days ago

This is something that would never end up on a Constitutional Law exam because it's too freakin' easy.

I think of this at least three or four times a week

Don't worry, the UK gov has a tool to help: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/apr/08/uk-creating-prediction-tool-to-identify-people-most-likely-to-kill

(I'm being sarcastic here, this is a horrible development).

“Excepted beliefs” will functionally just mean that being brown skinned puts you under suspicion of whatever their definition of antisemitism is

Is anyone waiting for the … Minority Report?

terryezell.bsky.social•15 days ago

Minority Report on steroids.

soxinmi.bsky.social•15 days ago

Isn’t this Minority Report?

rogersunshinecoast.bsky.social•15 days ago

Not even allowed freedom of thought. America the land of the not so free

captivesteel.bsky.social•14 days ago

Is it just me or is the Government of America just throwing up their hands and using Hollywood as its template for governing?

Seems Minority Report is just the latest.

chrisfumo.bsky.social•15 days ago

(this is what they have always wanted; they consider this to be a success)

anspara.bsky.social•15 days ago

Philip K Dick wrote an entire novel about when this sort of thinking gets corrupted.

vortexegg.com•15 days ago

I think the point is that this sort of thinking is necessarily always already corrupted

A predictive LLM that will always get it wrong.

insipidtwaddle.bsky.social•15 days ago

On the bright side, they're unlikely to copy Minority Report, if only because the title sounds perilously DEI.

tedmccormick.bsky.social•14 days ago

never get funding

Clever.

carolahenry.bsky.social•15 days ago

Or Elon's Neurolink chips inserted unknowingly, reading our thoughts?

danbongard.bsky.social•15 days ago

The law in question goes back decades. There was an order during the Reagan administration clarifying that if the beliefs would have 1A protection for an American citizen, they aren't grounds for removal. Trump reversed that order.

nkaz156.bsky.social•14 days ago

I guess if we can deport over unrealized extremist opinions we can tax unrealized capital gains…

oh wait…

thenewresistanceat.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yo, George, is it 1984 already?

ungovernableotter.bsky.social•15 days ago

Hmmm, I wonder what criteria they use to determine “expected beliefs.”

“Expected beliefs”

Hoo boy

Can you impeach a secretary of state?

Minority Report was a documentary.

ylwsunflwergrl.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh it’s the movie minority report now

ohmylurk.bsky.social•15 days ago

Meaning that if you look middle-eastern, you’re expected to support enemies of the state. If you look Latino and have a “Te Amo Mamá” tattoo, you must be part of a gang.

stiffelman.bsky.social•15 days ago

I can’t. No sane person could.

Orange Julius thinks about raping every woman he considers attractive…

So, since Trump came from a family of draft dodgers, dodged the draft himself
…wouldn’t that make his expected behavior of cowardice deportable?

congrats to every dem who voted for this abomination because he was “one of them”

peter-speeder1.bsky.social•15 days ago

Well actually, Orwell made it a thing. But the Free Speechers elected an administration that is apparently using 1984 as a blueprint.

sofiacarlotta.bsky.social•15 days ago

Rule of law is definitely dead in our country.

quarterkelly.bsky.social•15 days ago

It is probably worse: not future thought crime, but what the deciders (like the idiot bully from your high school who now works for CBP) “expect” the person’s beliefs to be.

rynrrck.bsky.social•15 days ago

This minority report sequel is fucking stupid
