I can assure you, they don’t look nearly as good in person as OP portrayed them

I’ve seen some wearing balaclavas and sloppy gear. Most are wearing whatever face cover they can find. None are as well put together as in this image

OP made ICE look as good as he could

Why would you use their literal propaganda pictures?

It’s a picture specifically made to make ICE look good, and you just thought it’d be a great idea to go distributing that?

The graphic design on this is awful

The font and coloring makes it seem like an intro to a cooky '00s sitcom

That ICE agent looks far more professional and put together than any of the goons I’m seeing around Minneapolis

Having it a broght day on a professional looking ICE agent. Literally putting them in a good light

0/10 - Fail. Do not distribute

To be fair, ICE apparently prefers ramming cars to pulling them over

Glad I wasn’t the only one disappointed

Let’s say I believe you. If that’s the case, why are AI companies still scraping everything?

As someone who makes and uses software, I feel it is not okay to steal source code. I wouldn’t feel okay with myself getting something for free when it’s based on the stolen work of tens of thousands of people

AI companies aren’t respecting crawler blocking. They’re actively working to ensure their crawlers bypass any anti-crawler protections

As a side note, these efforts help AI in the long-term. If we can poison LLMs, then you can guarantee a state actor can as well. AI needs to be able to weather training data attacks, otherwise they become an easily manipulated propaganda tool

How about the fact he used his status as a conservative voice to skip the line and get priority experimental cancer treatments? Not only did he die, but somewhere out there there is another person dead or dying because they got bumped from the treatment

I don’t think many politicians think they will face any divine reprisal either. They swear an oath on a bible, then do all the heinous things they do

Kissinger swore an oath on a bible, then signed off on the deaths of tens of thousands

Trump swore an oath on a bible, then spent his first year protecting pedophiles

Rick Scott swore an oath on a bible, shortly after stealing hundreds of millions from tax payers

If he swore in on a bible, or any other book, they would say he’s avoiding a quran on purpose because he doesn’t actually want to swear an oath on it

No matter what he did, they were prepared to complain

To clarify, I don’t think that killing the protesters on the square was acceptable.

Then why are you committing so hard to this silly conspiracy? The point of the conspiracy is definitely to make China look better. It’s one of the weakest conspiracies I’ve ever seen. Why push it?

That’s such an obviously bad take

The guy was carrying groceries. He obviously wasn’t one of the student protestors, which completely invalidates the point about his white shirt

If they wanted journalists to witness it, why did they search all of them and confiscate all pictures and footage of the incident? One of the few surviving photos were famously taken and smuggled out by Jeff Widener Charlie Cole. He hid his negatives in the tank of his toilet, which prevented the CCP finding them. Stuart Franklin hid his photo in a box of tea to smuggle it out

The explanation that Tank Man escaped is suspicious, because it’s widely agreed the CCP made him disappear

Edit: Clarified information about photo, and a bit about Stuart

Edit 2: It was Charlie Cole that kept his photo by hiding it in the toilet. Jeff Widener smuggled his out by giving it to a hotel guest to bring to the diplomatic compound

Which students and union leaders believed would lead to stark inequalities and wealth/class gaps.

Which, to be fair, they were right about. They just underestimated the level of prosperity it would bring China overall

If I weren’t already a diver, this fun fact would make me want to be one

Neither animal is likely to harm a human in the water, but seeing them interact together would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience

If you call it out before it happens, they call you alarmist. If you point it out afterwards, they’ve already normalized it

I guarantee if you described this week’s killing to conservatives even a few months ago, they would have said ICE would never do that, and they’d be against it if it happened. Now that it happened, they have accepted and normalized it

I’m afraid of this regime. I fear I will face repercussions for speaking out against the Trump regime. I’m going to do it anyway, louder than ever before. Fuck fascism

US surveillance is far more effective than North Korea or Russia’s domestic surveillance

Only China is in the same realm in terms of ability to surveil citizens. They’re just more open about using it for low-level offenses

The choice does exist, but it gets harder and harder to go without a phone

Many jobs expect us to be available at all hours. Younger generations cannot navigate without maps. Phones are also the primary way we record/observe ICE. They’re also our calendar/organizer, notebook, and many other things

Sure, we can have an independent GPS, camera, calendar, and notepad, but the barrier keeps getting higher

We need to develop counter measures, and long-term pass strong laws banning this level of government surveillance

TL;DR - Noem’s statement that he was involved in a similar incident last year may have contributed to his identification

God that article was fucking awful. Paragraph after paragraph of fluff just to pad out a single sentence worth of content

This is fascism.

People are dying. People will continue to die. I’m saddened and scared by what is happening
