    I keep thinking of this article:

    I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

  And there you have it folks. The big reveal. Trump, with help from who else, Elon, is taking all the dumbshits that follow him for a ride with crypto. Why crypto? Because it’s essentially trillions of dollars of unregulated, untraceable, revenue stream without legal scrutiny. No pump and dump has been successfully challenged and nearly every “influencer” (which let’s face it, that’s what Trump is) at one point has cashed in.

  Yeah. It’s not very clever. But it’s Trump and Elon. Two people not know for their brains.

  Coffee didn’t hit my brain before reading the headline; I thought this was an app to report ICE sightings lol

  (Maybe someone on F-droid could get on that?)

    We’ve got a hotline in Colorado! (844) 864-8341 They verify reports and share info with the community, and dispatch volunteer legal observers and immigration attorneys. Not sure if orgs in any other states have stood up something similar.

      Does anyone know if Arizona has a hotline for this?

    Thats what I thought too. The reality is still fucked up, but I don’t feel one iota of bad for people getting scammed for using an app to snitch to ICE.

    Or better yet, make a fake app for the Play Store where all the reports go to /dev/null.

      Take real reports and replace it with randomly generated people to flood the ICE systems with false reports.

    Seconded! I read and thought the same things, something like that would be huge right now. Hell of a time crunch and hostile work environment, but it could save a lot of lives.

  The parrallels to the persecution of jews in WW2 is massive. This is very similar to how it played out back then

    Around 15 years ago i explained to friend how to prep a society for genocide. I used left handed people in my example. Over the last few years i have seen it Play out almost exactly.

    Well yeah, but at least the Nazis had the cool looking uniforms and style, this gang just shoves meme coins down yout throat while preparing extermination camps.

    Not trying to defend Nazis, they’re the worst and are all burning in hell but, you know, at least they had something.

    Its extremely disturbing, im very hesitant to use the word fascism (as it has been massively over used muting its true meaning) but what we are now seeing is just that. I pray Americans can find a way to stop this insanity.

    • Duamerthrax@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      No. The meaning has been true for a while. People just ignored the signs because it was inconvenient to stamp it out sooner.

  So let’s spin up some AI generated “photos” and flood their servers with fake reports!

  Anything being promoted by the likes of Loomer, Engels, and (most punchable face) Gaetz should be a top-level red flag to run away screaming into the night away from that thing…

      Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz are United States fascist politicians. I assume so is the other person named, but the only Engels I’m familiar with is Friedrich.

  Wanted to take a look at it but it’s not even in play store.
