Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stood up a round-the-clock operation to scour Facebook, Instagram and X for online criticism, paying private contractors millions to flag posts it deems a threat to its agents or its mission, according to a Wall Street Journal investigation.

Fuck Ice. Shit should be abolished and all its agents tried.

That sounds like a rational thing that will work out, because it's not like millions of people think everyone working for ICE should be treated the same way they treat innocent bystanders and anyone under they abduct who says they need medical care. And it's not like trying to hunt down anyone who is honest about that online would just convince more people to feel that same way.

the people who make up ice assume that everyone agrees with them silently and it enables them to do a lot of the shit that they do.

unfortunately, the polls regarding palestinian genocide is making this assumption largely true and and prevalence of maga's appeal coupled with neoliberal policies over the last half century is making it truer and truer everyday.
