They will start with whoever they can and won’t stop until made to do so. Strap in and up.

Exactly. They can target anyone.

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

“threats” it can be anything and anyone.

They’re ignoring the law though. They’ll go after whoever they feel like attacking.

That’s the scary part! To what degree do you have to be anti-ice to get on their radar?! Protester? Shit talker? Meme sharer?

The only way to stand up to fascism is with solidarity in numbers. So don’t let the Nazi ICE thugs intimidate us out of criticizing their pathetic white supremacist ways.

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.
