ICE operates without due process, without regard to the 4th amendment, and is using big tech/data brokerages to do it.

Abolish ICE and fight surveillance.

When tech CEOs go to Trump dinners, this this why.
They’re trying to protect their monopolies at the expense of everyone else.
Trump threatened to impose more tariffs against the European Union after the bloc levied a €2.95 billion fine against Google for violating anti-monopoly laws.

Hard to celebrate so-called “independence” when all of the values that everyone thinks this country stands for are lies and we are totally dependent on capitalism to exist.

Good news is I see y'all being creative on how to do it

I'm not convinced that the system won't force Zohran Mamdani into ineffectiveness but it's worth a shot.
