This ICE-snitching app is actually promoting a meme coin

this is the most dystopian title I have read in a while
I keep thinking back to this article:
I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers
We've got a hotline in Colorado! (844) 864-8341 They verify reports and share info with the community, and dispatch volunteer legal observers and immigration attorneys. Not sure if orgs in any other states have stood up something similar.
Does anyone know if Arizona has a hotline for this?
It looks like Puente Arizona and the Phoenix Legal Action Network have one, but it might just be in the Phoenix area. 480-506-7437, more info here.
Thank you🙏
Thats what I thought too. The reality is still fucked up, but I don't feel one iota of bad for people getting scammed for using an app to snitch to ICE.
Or make a fake app for the Play Store where all the reports go to /dev/null.
Take real reports and replace it with randomly generated people to flood the ICE systems with false reports.
I would actually be ok with ai generated photos being used for this
It’s a grift, inside a con, wrapped up in a scam!
Or since 1/5, an average Tuesday in America.
The parrallels to the persecution of jews in WW2 is massive. This is very similar to how it played out back then
Well yeah, but at least the Nazis had the cool looking uniforms and style, this gang just shoves meme coins down yout throat while preparing extermination camps.
Not trying to defend Nazis, they're the worst and are all burning in hell but, you know, at least they had something.
Around 15 years ago i explained to friend how to prep a society for genocide. I used left handed people in my example. Over the last few years i have seen it Play out almost exactly.
Its extremely disturbing, im very hesitant to use the word fascism (as it has been massively over used muting its true meaning) but what we are now seeing is just that. I pray Americans can find a way to stop this insanity.
No. The meaning has been true for a while. People just ignored the signs because it was inconvenient to stamp it out sooner.
Im not going to debate this, it has been overused in the last decade leading to people rolling their eyes somewhat when its used.
No it hasn't. It's just that whenever you call a facist a facist they say "You call everyone a facist!". This is how they work - they deny, delay and downplay any critique.
Agree to disagree.
No. You can have an opinion, but that doesn't prove it isn't settled in facts.
Yes. I am not continuing it further as we'll never agree.
And yet, you still replied.
I've been seeing the US slide into fascism for the past 20 years. As long as I've been politically aware. Bush Jr set the stage of this problem and while none of the Democrats have been actively fascist, they also haven't done anyway thing to reverse course either.
People aren't rolling their eyes. They're turning their head because they don't want to face reality.
How's it feel to live in the cyberpunk prequel?
The only legitimate use of genAI...
Anything being promoted by the likes of Loomer, Engels, and (most punchable face) Gaetz should be a top-level red flag to run away screaming into the night away from that thing...
🤡 🖕 🖕
Am I supposed to know who any of those people are?
Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz are United States fascist politicians. I assume so is the other person named, but the only Engels I'm familiar with is Friedrich.
Reading the article would tell you exactly who they are... 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
Fuck I'm stupid
Could this be reverse engineered?
Wanted to take a look at it but it's not even in play store.
