Whoa. Hello new followers!
I post about my cats, rescue kittens, knit, quilt, and sometimes write books.
I require tea in vast quantities to maintain equilibrium and always choose violence. I use the word “fuck” in all of its many forms judiciously and with extreme prejudice. Rage is my default.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."

Everyone has a part to play. Even—especially—the person who moderates the subreddit for videos of people patting their cat on the butt really rapidly.
This is an excellent example of someone using their power to shun those that deserve it.

This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.
It worked.

Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

I think I’ll do a little sleuthing tomorrow to start a list of perps making ICE chemical munitions like tear gas, pepper spray, pepper balls, etc.
If any of y’all want to share info on known companies or pics of the canisters in replies (ideally with a link to the source), that’d help. Thanks!
