A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I thought it implied that Garcia couldn't be returned because they died.

Update, turns out they are still alive.

But the wording implies that the legality of this person's situation matters for the rest of the sentence, either meaning that being illegal would justify deportation, or not being able to come back after being arrested without reason.

The wording is establishing who the subject of the post is about. Since their name wasn't mentioned and you knew who they were talking about I can see that it was super effective.

I don't know who they are talking about, I don't need to.

And mentioning "legal" doesn't bring anything to the point of the post, it's just a side effect of the person's opinions

I don't know who they are talking about, I don't need to.

You are very confident you know what they meant for a person that is claiming ignorance of the topic. Bold strategy, hope that pays off for you.
