idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China

that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.

EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/

ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.

But u know we all about honesty in this joint so

        IIRC, that 70 US citizens deported by ICE statistic was from prior to Trump II. The current authoritarian secret police have definitely more than doubled that number in 3 months, I reckon.

        I feel heartbroken for my Ameribros. We were so close, once. But I started boycotting you when you reelected Bush in 2004, pausing only briefly for a few years before the Tea Party took over in the Obama years. My passport expired over a decade ago and I haven’t needed to renew it.

        I hope you all make it out of this okay! And that you don’t take us down with you.
