I don't see any listed on lineageos.org? I would love to get one again.

I had one of these Unihertz keyboard phones before. Comes with bloatware and the typical Android restrictions for removal. No 3rd party OS support. I ended up returning mine after a couple weeks.

Arturo Flores, the mayor of Huntington Park, issued a statement on Saturday condemning what he called "masked abductions" by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has spent the past month raiding workplaces, farms, and homes as part of the Trump administration's efforts to ramp up the deportation campaign.

"These are not lawful arrests. These are abductions," said Flores. "For more than a week, we have witnessed families being torn apart, children left without parents, and residents vanishing without explanation. Men dressed in tactical gear, operating unmarked vehicles without displaying credentials or agency affiliation, have infiltrated our neighborhoods in direct violation of our community’s values, civil rights, and the basic principles of due process."

Flores formally ordered the Huntington Park Police Department "to begin verifying the identities and authority of any individuals conducting such operations within city limits" and to enforce vehicle codes requiring cars to have visible license plates and agency markings.

I've seen this before, I think it's just a long running trend to make the name stand out. See, for example: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/783/why-does-the-nkjv-put-jesus-name-in-all-caps-in-matthew-121-and-luke-131

Jun 9, 2025

WASHINGTON, June 9 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today released the following statement after President Trump bypassed California’s governor to deploy National Guard troops to California:

"Let’s be clear: Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests there, ICE, or immigration. It is about using extremely dubious legal authority to expand his never-ending grasp for more power and his effort to move this country toward authoritarianism. This is a president who has usurped the constitutional responsibilities of Congress; threatened to impeach judges who rule against his policies; sued media that criticize him; extorted money from law firms that have represented his opponents; and is withholding funds from universities for teaching courses he doesn’t like.

"In our federalist form of government, it is the governor of a state who deploys the National Guard — not the president of the United States. It is absurd and laughable for the Trump administration to argue that they needed to mobilize the National Guard because of a threat from a “foreign invasion” or “rebellion” against the United States. This is just another example of Trump wanting more power for himself and ignoring the law. All Americans – Democrats, Republicans, independents – must stand together against this gross abuse of power."

This conversation was about me saying no that is not conflation, and agreeing with the intent of the person you replied to. It's not any bigger than that.

The intent of the person you replied to being, WTF is "we didn't have a problem"?? Yes, everyone please clap for Newsom, he called ICE cruel! He sure told Trump off! I'll criticise Newsom all day long and you can call me stupid and complain about where I'm putting my goalposts.

Newsom "condemns" ICE the way Republicans condemn the deficit. I.e., not in any way that matters. And now events are forcing him to pretend to care.

Thank you, yes he said that.

I'm saying that "We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California." is a WTF level statement. Newsom will happily let ICE empty out people from homes as long as it is done politely.

I dont interpret that as conflation, more pointing out, why doesn't Newsom consider ICE kidnappings a problem?? He's only concerned about the unrest just like he pretends to be addressing homelessness by criminalization

Agree, but it helps to be able bodied and not in a hilly area.

Profit seekers really gotta have every nuance spelled out for them, from cookie banners to not enslaving children. SMH

Is it supposed to be something other than the meme? I do not get the meme
