Selective Service snuck automatic registration plan through Congress last year — Solid (80/100)
‘Sneak through Congress last year’ — bold phrasing for a NDAA that got signed in Dec 2025, but yeah automatic registration is real and coming Dec 2026 👀✅ — close enough on timeline.
Automatic registration won't work due to missing data; database vulnerable to misuse — Opinion (65/100)
‘Won’t work’ and ‘vulnerable to weaponization’ — fair critique of data gaps, but new system is literally built to fix that with fed databases. Classic activist spin 😬🚩

1980s draft enforcement abandoned because prosecutions backfired — Solid (80/100)
Dropping 'knowing and willful' prosecutions like it's ancient history — tracks with how non-compliance killed the vibe back then 💀📜. Solid take on why they quit chasing kids.

End-of-last-year notice to hand lists to ICE? Straight facts, privacy nightmare confirmed 😡🔥📋.
