While Illinois has fairly good protections against biometric scans without consent, they as usual carved out exceptions for law enforcement, meaning our protections stop precisely where the police state begins.
Masked ICE GOONS have been using facial recognition technology without consent to capture images of young men for identity and citizenship verification. This technology is fueling a surveillance state that targets Black and Brown communities, silences dissent, and free speech.

Feel like I'm going insane with every article about north carolina coastal homes collapsing into the sea that fails to mention this legislative decision from 13 years ago.
2012: North Carolina bans data extrapolation using present day trends, to protect property values and keep insurance from having to cover higher flood risks.
2025: coastal homes fall into the sea with no insurance coverage.

This is funny and all but being a veteran of the US invasion of Panama means he participated, directly or otherwise, in attacks that killed hundreds of Panamanian civilians during a war that was broadly recognized as unjustified and/or illegal.
Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?

Noem: We have not deported military veterans.

Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

Sorry you can’t afford healthcare we had to spend at least $10 million on the Havana syndrome ray gun
The Department of Homeland Security spent an eight figure sum to buy what they believe is a Havana Syndrome device (lol)

ICE just broke a woman’s windows and yanked her out of her car at Park and 34 in Minneapolis. This is after a crowd gathered while ICE raided a home.

It doesn't. ICE will be doing this in every single town and city soon enough, Minneapolis is just the proving grounds. Whatchu gonna do when they turn up in your neck of the woods?
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.

Yeah and you fucking helped put us here
“.. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, 'Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?"

prosecutors only do this when a case is so strong and obviously good that prosecuting it would be way too easy.

ICE must be stopped Border Patrol must be stopped the ethnic cleansing must be stopped and the roots that grew the tree of genocide must be uprooted and burned

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

You know, I unironically want open borders. More than that, I want *no* borders. Previous hominins and hominids may have been tribal in their nature, but they didn't need a fucking. order to tell them where they could and couldn't sleep, eat, and live. Fuck borders #FuckICE

I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.
