There was also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43848858 , that had been flagged.

I vouched for it for the moment (I don't see what would make these posts unsuitable for the site), we'll see :/

I have seen it getting flagged, and that's why I reposted it.

Maybe NBC is too woke for HN?

(it's NBC)

I hope he is getting his affairs in order. Because, although I take no joy in saying this, the state is going to ship him out. Bail is just buying time to cash out bank accounts, wrap up relationships and give personal effects to someone willing to send them wherever he ends up.

Since when is the US govt legally able to make permanent residents "end up somewhere"?

He's a permanent US resident, if the state wants to do something, they gotta follow due procedure, charge him with something and actually win. People have both the freedom of speech and the right to organize, so if the state goes against that, it'd paint a clear picture what kind of state it is.

I wish I could share your optimism of the trajectory of the American experiment.
