I mean, I’d love to send him something except I don’t want to be on a watch list.
Couldn’t you send an anonymous mail to him?
Just drive (or take public transit) to some town/city nearby and send it from there, use a printer that doesn’t have those yellot tracking dots, don’t leave fingerprints, drop the mail in an unattended post office box.
Which printers don’t leave dots?
The EFF was attempting to keep track of this, but through FOIA requests they learned that every major brand uses dots.
Monochrome ones.
People have been saying the “Brother” brand of printers don’t have them, but I cannot confirm this since I never used them, nor do I have ways to detect yellow dots.
There are also programs that would add random yellow dots before you print it, so the yellot dot tracking would become useless since its flooded with extra yellot dots.
This would only work if you only send 1 page. Otherwise, they can likely compare the two and see where the dots are the same.
Dot matrix doesn’t have the yellow ID dots, but it is just dots.
Maybe, but I doubt most people are going through any kind of process to anonymize it.
It has to have a valid return address or else it will be rejected. I haven’t found out if people from abroad are allowed to send him letters yet.
So? Put the local police station as the return address for giggles.
Good idea, except I’m pretty sure that’s gonna be rejected as invalid…
Someone else mentioned a watch list to me. Who’s list would you be on, and who would have access to it?
I think it’s just assumed that government authorities are taking the info of people who make public statements of support for Mangione and putting them under increased scrutiny.
We do have a really arbitrary no fly list people end up on sometimes without knowing the reason at all.
So like everybody?
No, like everybody willing to pass their name through the prison’s mail system.
I’ve assumed that since bush 2 anything anti capitalist, anti imperialist, anti fascist puts you on a list. What list? Who knows.
With the advance of technology these days I think the “list” is more plausible than ever.
And then you know, snowdens leaks pretty much stated that the NSA is spying domestically without warrants.
Is it me or is that not a lot? I saw the address for mail and donations posted everywhere for a few days. For all the hype, out of a nation of millions he got <100 letters and <200 donations?
Don’t get me wrong, that’s more than what a normal inmate gets but it really isn’t that many.
I thought the same thing, but it does specifically say thats what he received. I want to know how many the prison received and filtered out / rejected
Maybe they filtered them out because they send something like: “YOO DAWG WHAT YOU DID WAS LIT, YOU SHOULD DO MORE “DEPOSING” WHEN YOU GET OUT! Btw, I’m about to do some of them “deposing”, any suggestions on how I should do it?”
I mean, prisons usually block communications that could be involved in planning a crime, first amendment rights doesn’t really apply in prison.
Maybe more got rejected because they had nudes or something unacceptable in them
My parents are pretty left wing but they’re definitely in the “killing CEOs bad” crowd.
While I’m here coming up with recipes for when we finally get to eat the rich
Lemmy is a bubble. It’s easy to think that Luigi’s popularity is near-universal judging by all the support he got here. But do you think he’s getting tons of support from tough-on-crime Republicans? I doubt it!
I don’t know. Ben Shapiro got ratioed by his own fans over it
Don’t send nudes. The prison censors won’t give them to him. They wont even tell him he got some. 🥺
So you’re saying if someone were to say take pictures of their asshole and such, some one working the prison would have to examine it?
Yes
Yea, first amendment rights dont apply in prison. You have to water-down your thoughts to get it through.
a bunch of amendments don’t apply in prison
