If this is claiming no mass deportations are underway, it is misleading. Deportations, detentions and arrests of migrants increased under the Trump administration. NPR found DHS claimed 500,000 deportations since January but provided no supporting data; independent tracking through June showed fewer than 7,500 removals per week — substantial, but far short of 500,000. The “invasion” framing is political rhetoric, not a neutral factual description.
Same as the previous post: claiming there are “no mass deportations” is misleading. Deportations and immigration arrests increased under the Trump administration, though DHS's specific 500,000-deportation figure was not backed by released data. This is partisan opinion. Whether Republicans “made our lives worse” or failed to make “meaningful change” is subjective. The party-control premise is broadly accurate, but the post makes no specific checkable factual claim.
The BBC reported that major technology stocks declined after the U.S. midterms as markets reacted to possible tougher scrutiny of data-centre construction and the AI industry, adding to fears of an AI slowdown.
The BBC reported that a democratic socialist defeated incumbent Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayor's race, meaning both New York City and Los Angeles are led by democratic socialists.
The current pope is Francis, not Leo. There has not been a pope named Leo since Leo XIII, who died in 1903. No credible evidence supports the claim that a “Pope Leo” traveled to Latin America after lung cancer surgery.
Delhi's winter air pollution is a recurring problem, and the Delhi government has announced a four-month winter action plan. Experts told the BBC it likely will not be enough.
BRene Reyna posted on X: "No Mass Deportations," and then—quote—"USA Sovereignty is dead."
BThat's a lot to pack into one post.
BIt's not just loud. It's false.
BWhich part?
BThe deportations. Deportations and immigration arrests are up under the Trump administration.
BUp is not the same as mass. For a lot of people, the word "mass" is doing a lot of work.
BThe word "no" is doing more work. No means zero. That is false.
BDHS says five hundred thousand since January. That sounds mass to me.
BThey say it, but they haven't released the data to support it.
BNot releasing data doesn't make it a lie.
BIndependent tracking through June showed fewer than seven thousand five hundred removals a week. That's real, but it's nowhere near five hundred thousand.
BSo the post is wrong on the number. But the anger behind it is real.
BThe anger is real. The border has been a mess for years.
BPeople watching that mess think the government won't do its most basic job. That's why this post spreads.
BThen say that. Don't say no one is being deported when thousands are. That just tells people the system is lying.
BBut they already think the system is lying! That's the problem!
BYou don't fix distrust with a false claim. You fix it with the real numbers and real accountability.
BFine. The post is wrong on deportations. I still think it names the right feeling.
BThat feeling didn't start with this post, and it won't end with a correction.
BSpeaking of feelings, the post-midterm blame game is already in full swing.
BOf course it is.
BYves posted on X with a screenshot and asked—this happened under a Republican White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court, in a Trump state, so how is it on the Democrats?
BWhat was the screenshot of?
BShe didn't spell it out. The post is more of a dart than a story.
BSo it's the perfect internet argument: no object, just side.
BBut the underlying point is fair. If you hold all the levers, you can't blame the other team for everything.
BThat's not how accountability works. Having power and using it are two different things.
BGary Oak on X goes the other way: Republicans had the Senate, Congress, White House, and Supreme Court and made our lives worse and didn't make a single meaningful change. He added an expletive.
BThat's a campaign ad in disguise.
BSo which is it? Did they have total control and break things, or have total control and do nothing?
BBoth can be true. They had power and many voters feel they didn't deliver.
BThat's exactly my point. Voters just handed the House to Democrats. Now they own it.
BThey own the next two years—not the last two.
BThe voters don't see it that way! They just answered with the election. That's how it works.
BElections don't erase what happened before. If the last Congress failed, the people who ran it don't get a pass because the other team won.
BThen what's the point of winning? You want the new majority to enter with a clean slate?
BI want them to be held to the same standard. If they fail, they should own it too.
BFine. But right now, the feed is just two teams throwing blame memes at each other.
BThat's the whole feed. And nobody has to show their work.
BMaybe we should start fact-checking screenshots instead of feelings.
BWe just did. It didn't make anyone happy.
