Fun fact: the 2002 Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, which mandated tracking all foreign students and putting them in a biometric database called Chimera, passed the senate 97-0
It was *overwhelmingly* bipartisan, to do this
Schumer voted for it

i am not flying back to america for the foreseeable future
New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

There seems to be a bipartisan consensus among politicians to never use alt-text on images they post.

Donald Trump is targeting communities just because they didn’t vote for him—like Chicago and Minneapolis.
The Administration is rounding up immigrants (or people who “look” like immigrants) and attacking peaceful protestors.

A lot of these groups sell or promote DDoS booter services, sell training courses, hardware, accept donations and in some cases have branded jewelry. Some also have a sideline selling stolen data. To say this is purely ideological is a gross oversimplification.
