    This is scary:

    On Wednesday, ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson told 404 Media in a statement that ICE will prioritize the results of the app over birth certificates. “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien,” he said. “ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms

    Why don’t Democrats run on a privacy platform. Sure there’s Senator Wyden, but other dems need to be on this. Pivot and make the Democratic party the privacy party.

      Democrats are not your friends, they work for the same people as maga/nazis.

      We have a nazi problem. There is no app, or voting, or debating, or rationalizing that will get rid of it. The only way to rid yourself of cancer is to take the really painful medicine, and americans aren’t ready to do that yet.

      Democrats will do nothing. Trump is right when he calls them “do-nothing democrats”. All they do is sit in their high castle and say “why can’t we all just get along?”.

    Imagine Trump voters reading this EXACT headline during Biden’s presidency. They would have lost their minds. They wouldn’t take a vaccine because they thought there was a 5g chip in it, but this is ok?

      I was raised by republicans so I can provide some insight. Its because they would have to admit they were wrong about Trump. You can either admit you were wrong and declare him a tyrant or you can back him on everything. You can guess which most of them choose.

        “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

          It starts from an extremely young age when they’re taught that questioning what their parents and pastor say is an unforgivable moral failure.

          It’s human nature that some people don’t feel, or don’t feel as acutely. There’s also a cultish aspect to it, where because everything is MAGA Vs democrats, all your friends and identity are likely bound up in the same thing, so admitting you were wrong isn’t just admitting you were wrong: it’s completely changing the way you see yourself and severing many relationships.

      They don’t read. Literally every headline r/Conservative goes like this:

      “Illegal Immigrant took all the jobs then raped and murdered 100 babies. Libtards protested his deportation by throwing rocks at cops”

      The literally only see propaganda to make them scared of immigrants and liberals. They don’t actually see any news about things the administration actually does/says.

      They won’t even know they have a double standard.

      These are the same asshats that are just fine with Taco invading blue cities and threatening more. Including the use of Marines, FFS. And he’s threatening a lot more. They are still with him.

      It’s a cult. You don’t disagree with dear leader. That’s the whole point of indoctrination. THEIR restrictive laws are evil and non constitutional. OUR restrive laws are for the good of everyone and backed by God.

          I mean, moreso, that we’re just taking it. Conservatives stormed stores with mask mandates and forcefully “bought” items while being refused service. In Canada, they had that whole Truck convoy. All of this, over conspiracy theories and inconveniences.

          Meanwhile ICE is running mass “deportations” (to random countries the victims never belonged to) and people are… just letting it happen??

    If you go to a protest, wear a gaiter and glasses and ballcap just like those ICE fuckers. And depending where you live you might just want to make this your default outfit for leaving the house at all.

      4th Amendment doesn’t even specify “citizens”, it’s “the people”.

      “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

      I’m sure they have a warrant to sieze your image, right? Um… right? 😉

    The fuck they can. I swear to Christ, Trump could say he’s going to do the mark of the beast so liberals can’t buy anything and every maggot on this planet would jump at the chance to get the mark. Irony and hypocrisy are lost on them
