Please stop touting your plan to buy surveillance cameras for ICE to use at taxpayer expense

He has never, ever said he knows we want to abolish ICE nor said that's his stance

They aren't trying to convince Republicans that their ICE-lite stance is "common sense", they're trying to convince their base who wants them to end ICE completely

No, we don't need to buy new surveillance equipment and give it to ICE to run facial recognition on protestors. If you want to buy it, give it to the people who are documenting ICE abuses.

No, ICE isn't solved by following the same code of conduct that killed George Floyd

This is common sense

Anyway yeah happy Black History Month and fuck Gavin Newsom

The regular things ICE does, and even the regular things they did under Democratic administrations, are monstrous and need to be stopped. It's their mission that's a problem. We don't need them reined in. We need them ended

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.

Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

"the American people won’t stand for it"- you're always using us as a shield and excuse for inaction while never lifting a finger to help us, and when we state plainly that we don't want ICE and we don't want genocide, suddenly you don't care what the American people want

Do not fund ICE/DHS. How can we possibly be clearer that we do not want "reform" of the department of terrorizing immigrants? We want to end it

Republicans already nuked the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees though, for Gorsuch. It takes 51

Abolition Is Still the Only Way Out of This Forget the useless so-called “reforms” to ICE and policing currently on offer. We need much more fundamental change.

"Contrary to baseless assertions that movements to defund and abolish prisons, police, and ICE are partially to blame for where we find ourselves, the refusal to heed these calls is precisely what paved the way for the current regime," @dreanyc123.bsky.social writes.

Right? The most popular thing on that list, buying more surveillance equipment for ICE, is a hell no from me

that is a non-peer reviewed opinion article with no control group

Stop putting the ball in their court

Absolutely do not give money to Trump for ICE, for DHS, or for anything. Whatever money he's not taking for himself he uses to hurt people

ICE surveillance concerns shift Democrats’ demands for body cameras Critics fear the cameras could be used to feed video of protesters into facial recognition tools.

“Democrats in Congress can’t claim they’re standing against ICE abuses if they’re calling for more ICE-controlled cameras, which will inevitably be hooked into ICE’s facial recognition and other surveillance tools.”- @evangreer.bsky.social to @politico.com

Even in places where this program is prohibited, local and state police and other law enforcement *will not* protect anyone from ICE. They absolutely will not. This is a white middle class American fantasy of what police do

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

“kidnapping people from their homes is fine so long as white people don’t see it” is the centrist position and Tim Walz is weirdly the man who said the quiet part out loud

hm, I found this one dinotracksdiscovery.org/supporting/s...

yes I see on the chart there are basically single or double digit numbers per state listed which of course can't be anywhere approaching the true number!

I will bet you any amount of money that the difference is whether they're caught and publicized or not rather than whether they did it

I'd guess the 2 states with the largest number of cops

Our enemies are cowards, and we are going to defeat them. 🪶

also gives them the option to point out that FEMA funds weren't being distributed before the shutdown, and to propose a standalone bill reallocating money from the OBBBA ICE extra surge to FEMA instead

We said abolish.

If you're buying anyone surveillance cameras, make it regular people who get them. Not extra funding for bodycams for the secret police, who were filming their murders already
The issue isn't training, it's that there's a deportation/detention force to begin with

No money for ICE

with the one hand they're buying ICE surveillance cameras, and with the other they're proposing doomed-to-fail messaging bills saying "please don't use what we bought you against us"

It only works to call your own Senator/Rep, so we mostly don't choose whether we're yelling at a Republican or Democrat. But the yelling is because Dems want to go back to the 90s and that's monstrous. 10-25 Republicans might agree to it. But it would just make the sickness less visible, not end it

How did we get to the point where police body cams are deemed “best practice” when the # of civilians whom police have killed has only *increased each year* since the widespread adoption of the equipment?
