Maybe I'm very late to this and maybe what I'm about to say is obvious, but has anyone else been thinking that the massive mobilization of ICE is a way for the state to integrate the fascist gangs/militias/paramilitaries like Proud Boys, Patriot Front, et al. into the security services in a similar manner to what happened in Ukraine with their fascist groups? They're obviously the "target audience" for the recruitment drives and it feels like we haven't heard from those groups in some time, especially since you'd expect them to show up in defence of ICE at the counter-ICE rallies. It's also possible that these people could move "laterally" into other agencies once they have their foot in the door via ICE mass recruitment, then we'd really be seeing something similar to Ukraine. Just some things I've been thinking about after watching this translated documentary about Ukraine's "decentralized totalitarianism" (the author disparages the original use of the term to conflate fascism and communism, but he feels it's descriptive in a post-Maidan context) and how every imperialist frontier is a labratory for the future, and was curious about what the newsmega crowd thought.

so wild to me how the common advice was to never reveal personal details about yourself on the internet, then facebook came along and suddenly everyone was posting their face, full name, home town, education history, etc online for free and it was totally fine for some reason

critical support to microsoft in their efforts to accidentally sabotage businesses around the world with ai slop

Probably tens of thousands of miles, if not even more. There are spools up to 50km now, though I don't those are very common. Birds have been found using them to make nests. Not sure if you could like "rake" an area and pick these up without snapping them into tiny pieces. It'll probably end up as yet another horrible way war pollutes the environment.
