    There has to be a way for some enterprising soul to start turning over ICE to ICE? There has to be something in the thousands of recruits that can get them arrested by their own?

    After years and years of complaining about ‘censorship online’ they’re gonna start arresting people for what they say online.

      No, what will happen is they’ll use an LLM to analyze the data.

      The LLM will falsely tag millions of people.

      There will be some notable wrong arrests, and then six months later those people, after having their lives ruined, will sell their stories. They don’t have the intelligence, manpower, or discipline to parse this data intelligently or accurately.

      And if it makes you feel better, consider how many contexts the word ‘Ice’ can be used in.

        Just for the record, I really don’t like ice. It’s cold, slippery and wet. And people ruin perfectly nice whiskeys by overdoing the ice in them.

        Also fuck the shitty US fascist police, too.

        Right? I said early on the unmarked ones should be treated as kidnappers bc we are drilled to not let unidentified people take us to a second location. Too much?

        Or call the real authorities when they’re sniffing around schools and make a real scene because that’s a fiduciary duty.

        Idk I’ve seen people say much worse but these are very sensitive individuals.

        It’s all encompassing. You are just looking at the subset that homeland security is working with in regards to immigration, but they are feeding all information into models for ai to run threat detection, and otherwise create social scores, palantir and their ilk being the ones doing the scores.

        Whatever half baked conclusions they come up with, get promulgated to different agencies, and in time and perhaps already to private ones. Not attributed, and secret, you will never know the information was sent from them, and so won’t ever be able to challenge it. In time, bank loans, how businesses treat you, digital price tags you personally are served with, police treatment and information on lein networks, prosecutorial aggressivity towards you, how much the judges are led to hate you, and so forth, will all be influenced by these secret social scores.

        Not just in the US either, the UK is ahead of us, Aussies are well on their way too. Europe is trying to bring the trojan horses of age checks and chatcontrol inside the gates of liberal democracies for this purpose. They want to id every account on every ip with faces and id, and run everything said or done, or looked at, along with all the video and audio of you from all sources, through these palantir type ai programs, off of these huge databases also held by people like thiel, but also the government and others, with that information about everyone, however obtained.

        The 4th doesn’t apply according to our courts, they let private interests spy on us, then buy the information from those data brokers. The feds just streamlined it, a one stop shop to buy all of the data, and then distribute it to agencies, because they had been buying the same tranches of data through different agencies before that.

        We really need to reject this locking the internet down, not the least as the gatekeepers are literally Epstein pals and conspirators. The fucking antichrist is the one chosen to decide winners and losers in life, peter thiel, that now has not only all the information of his own data banks, but all the data from every federal agency exported from doge, which he controlled. Musk was just the front man. If information is power, they already have too much. We need to forcefully reject these pushes. Rejecting corporate websites that bow down to these interests is a good start.

      I would guess it’s probably focused on ones that are prosecutable as threats. That would be enough for it to not be protected as free speech.

      We’ll have to wait to know for sure though.

      I would love journalists to rake discord over the coals for this and have them explain exactly how they think that this mentality is acceptable in the current political climate. Of course they won’t because journalism is dead these days.

      I read a speculation somewhere that DHS want to declare all opposition to their activities as domestic terrorists and then remove their right to vote. There have been multiple articles detailing how the people who follow agents around and report their location are served papers later declaring them to be domestic terrorists and then they are placed on a no fly list. I’m sure more is to come. Reportedly, all the agents use facial recognition cameras to sweep the crowds for logging in a database, but another report suggests that the recognition part isn’t working so well.

        All while their representatives testifying to congress claimed there is no database of americans opposing ice. We all know there is, one of the police told the protesters they were on it and to have fun with that as well.

        We need consequences for these guys lying to congress like that. Whoever that was just a few days ago should be forced out. He can’t claim ignorance, or litigate the definition of database, he knows he lied, we know he lied.

          I remember the “have fun with that” quote. It was oddly smug and childish, which is why it stuck out.

          Perhaps it’s naive of me to think so, but I read that the Minnesota District Attorney is deliberately not pressing charges (at least for the 2 murders) until the chance of a presidental pardon is nil.

            The minnesota attorney(ies) isn’t pressing charges because they are derelict in their duty, showing cowardice in covering their charges by the Shield of State Law, and surrendering the 10th amendment to the feds.

            Not having evidence shared by the feds, when there are multiple videos of the incidents, is disingenuous, and it isn’t credible for anyone to accept that as an explanation, even if one discounts how democrats do that with every issue opposed by powerful interests they promised to do something about, they make a performative gesture, get stopped, then say well I tried, as if that performative effort was sufficient and there was no real politik to be played.

            The feds set the precedent of summary execution of a citizen without cause, denying the state access, then lying about irrefutable fact to justify it, branding their victims as domestic terrorists at that.

            Under this precedent, they could accost the governor, throw him around, shoot him dead, then claim he grabbed for a gun. Cameras or no. You do all understand why it’s important the state presses charges even if the feds defeat them, or forestall them? This is a big deal, and these are just precedents to use when it counts, they are setting as many as possible on immigration because it’s the issue they have the most support on.

            Nationwide injunctions are forbidden, so there is nothing to stop them from rounding up people into camps without cause. Unrest caused by stealing elections, or whatever else will get ugly, they are planning on it, and fighting under these democrats as we are, we are guaranteed to lose. We inlcluding democracy, such as is left of it.

              This then becomes a voter issue to install someone who will represent the people. Alternatively, protests to hold elected officials accountable to their duties or promises.

              democrats do that with every issue opposed by powerful interests they promised to do something about, they make a performative gesture, get stopped, then say well I tried

              I’ve seen this far too many times. Again, holding elected officials accountable may be the only way.

                I don’t know if they have recall elections, but we should help them start one, it’s the only way they will take on the republican machine. I mean I get their reluctance to be singled out by the national party as an enemy of the people. But they chose to be attorney general, it’s not all kicking poor people while the police hold them down. They need to do their jobs, or make way for those that will.

                We desperately need reform otherwise, to overcome the united opposition of the establishment when a rare reformer does make it in there, they stop at nothing to try to remove them. Krasner in Philly even had the state government scheming to remove him with an impeachment or something based on demonstrably false connections between cash bail and public safety. Justice is not served by screwing the poor. It’s not served by tax farming them with excessive fees and enforcements either, let alone seizing their property in defiance of the 5th amendment in forfeiture.

                So it would be a good time for a real reform candidate, hopefully an aggressive one that will treat those ad hominem attacks on reform prosecutors with the scorn it deserves.

      So, from Russia - let’s see how people in your country of “dignity and culture to resist oppression and deep institutions” will pass through that future. From someone “not protesting enough” and “feeding the regime with my taxes” and “feeling fine when Ukrainians suffer” (technically true, except might not be the only thing true).
