My phone #storage is getting full, but I’m hesitant to delete years of text messages from my friends and family. Do you guys ever export your text messages for long-term storage? Is there a better solution for this?

@Crell This. So much this.
I delete them all because: How does anyone know whether a text message from a random one-time phone number with a shortened url link is legit? Anyone could be on the other side of that request.
If I want to give, I’ll go to ActBlue and do it there. Or from the candidate’s official website.

OMG the ”#textmessages” between ”#CharlieKirk’s murderer” and his ”transsexual lover” that just got ”#leaked” 🤦♂️

’lingering’, I capitalized?

Written at the moment after he just assassinated a celebrity and is running for his life?
No. I don’t believe a word of it.
This was written by a 65-year old consultant with AI. The language is generationally inappropriate.

Borderline Crazy
Some recent news articles describe people being detained at the U.S. border for, supposedly, violating the rules of their visas. (See PBS article.) All of the detainees complained that it was never made clear to them why they were taken into custody.
US Border Patrol insignia. Image via free Malaysia TodayLennon Tyler, a U.S. citizen, was handcuffed and chained to a bench while her fiancé, Lucas Sielaff was sent to an immigration detention centre where he stayed for sixteen days. He was then allowed to fly home to Germany.
Jessica Brosche, also a German tourist, spent six weeks incarcerated including more than a week in solitary confinement.
A backpacker from Wales, Becky Burke, who had arranged to house-sit for a family in the U.S., spent three weeks in a detention centre before she was allowed to fly home.
Whatcom PUD border crossing sign image via Communitynetworks.orgJasmine Mooney, a Canadian who was travelling on a work visa, spent twelve days in detention before being sent home. She said that the conditions of her confinement were primitive and brutal. (The Guardian)
A French scientist heading to a conference was denied entry into the U.S. because border agents found text messages on his phone that were critical of the president. (The Guardian)
In addition, in the last few days I have seen a couple of stories in comment threads that describe inexplicable denials of entry. One woman described how a family member was travelling from Canada to the US to visit her grandchildren, as she often did. The border agent asked her why she was not travelling with her husband. It isn’t clear why, but she was denied entry.
Blaine Pacific Highway Port of Entry. Image via WikipediaAnother woman was asked what she thought of the president. She answered that she didn’t follow politics, but apparently she was not believed and was “red flagged.” She cannot enter the U.S. for four years.
All of this is making it increasingly less likely that I will be able to visit my family in California in the near future. I have already let them know that I will not be visiting in the next few months, but now I’m wondering if I should have been thinking in terms of years, not months. If I were to attempt to visit, and if border agents were to read some of my blog posts or text messages, they would have no doubt about my point of view.
Clearly, they are not interested in freedom of speech or the healthy exchange of ideas. They are not even interested in legitimate visas, apparently. This is some crazy stuff designed to intimidate, and it is working. I feel bullied and scared, and I haven’t even packed a bag yet.
