I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.
It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

I've noticed when one talks about their deradicalization, others often jump in to alienate, to declare that *they* were never at risk of going down a far right pipeline. My point here is the defensiveness, not whether their claim is accurate (presumably it is).

I think reconciling this can feel threatening, like it risks work done to destigmatize the effects of childhood trauma, despite childhood trauma being a) not the only factor, and b) a very broad category.

Vance saying the murderer in Minneapolis has "absolute immunity" was a signal to ICE.

*much worse for him if institutions to hold him accountable were functional.
Let’s talk about something. The fact that the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good was dragged by a moving vehicle in a prior incident is not a defense, it actually makes the situation much worse for him.

Every single person still posting on X, including electeds, need to be asked why they're using a CSAM generator site.

Also for it to generate csam on request means that the csam it was trained on was correctly labelled, undermining any argument that they were unaware it was in the datasets used for training.

You know the fact that ai can replicate and create csam means it was trained on csam right?
The builders of the ai had to train their systems to create those images.
Hard truth of this is they know what they are building.

We could invest in improving material conditions to reduce crimes of desperation, and decriminalize normal human behaviors. It would often be far cheaper too. But I think this goes against corporate interests.

I was mistaken, they can't. The money doesn't route through them.
What they can do is create parallel systems and an environment that does what it can to protect its citizens and businesses and encourage defying the fed. It would be more difficult though and definitely not a clean break

You know what you're saying. That's not a question, that's a statement.
One way this could come to a head is the existing federal government witholds funds from a state, and the state refuses to facilitate paying federal taxes in response. It's pretty clear where this leads.
