    Coffee didn’t hit my brain before reading the headline; I thought this was an app to report ICE sightings lol

    (Maybe someone on F-droid could get on that?)

      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.

      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.

      Seconded! I read and thought the same things, something like that would be huge right now. Hell of a time crunch and hostile work environment, but it could save a lot of lives.

      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.

    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.

            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.

    So let’s spin up some AI generated “photos” and flood their servers with fake reports!

    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…
