I saw this advertisement yesterday and was blown away by how brazenly and openly they boast about their role in the surveillance state. And then saddened that people will be happy to collaborate in the 24/7 surveillance of society just in the off-chance that a lost puppy might be found one day.

We apparently have a gov't that's ok with all the levels of depravity we think of. True, a lot of the evidence coming from Epstein isn't enough to convict these monsters in court, yet, but why do we still allow them to run our gov't & major businesses & enterprises? Where's the outrage?

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

This is a blockbuster report. Last spring, the National Security Agency (NSA) detected evidence of an unusual phone call between an individual associated with foreign intelligence and a person close to Donald Trump, according to a whistleblowerβs attorney briefed on the existence of the call.

And this is why it's so important for white people to place themselves on the front lines of the resistance to ICE.
Until the public consciousness evolves to where we as a society view nonwhite people as fully human, it's going to take more white people getting shot to keep media attention.
