Use a VPN and an operating system that doesn’t spy on you and harvest your info. Use 3rd party encryption.
There’s a lot of interesting tech for everyone if you now where to look.
Since September 2024, ICE has paid more than $1.6 million to a Maryland company that integrates a type of cell-site simulator popularly known as a “stingray” into government vehicles.
Eff developed software that can run on cheap hardware which will detect Stingrays: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/meet-rayhunter-new-open-source-tool-eff-detect-cellular-spying
A laptop with Linux and Kismet can use bluetooth to scan for bluetooth devices by MAC address.
Axon is the largest manufacturer of body cameras.
Public information shows that have a registered MA-L(Mac Address Block Large):
MAC Prefix: 00:25:DF
With a good antenna these can be detected for 1000+ yrds or more with direct line of sight, such as from a drone that’s less than 250g (doesn’t require FAA registration for recreational use, like fox hunting).
These tools should allow you to steer clear of any civil disturbance and maintain your social credit score.
Federal operations use encrypted packet radios so you can’t listen to their com chatter, but local PD often are just using a trunked system without encryption. You can buy a $500 scanner to listen to these, or use 2 cheap($50) software defined radios and some open source software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9KJrtIO8_4
This should let you hear the local PD/Fire department/Ambulance line (you cannot transmit with the RTL SDRs used in the example, they’re not capable of doing so… so you won’t risk committing federal crimes). This will allow you to avoid areas of unrest and otherwise be a good citizen.
Stay safe
I also want to throw the Android app BLE Radar into that mix. It gives you a map of Bluetooth LE devices around you. It’s available on f droid
Yeah, this isn’t any kind of crazy technology there should be a way to do it with any device that has bluetooth and a processor.
All it does is listens for devices, almost like it would when you’re trying to pair your earbuds. It just compares the detected MAC addresses vs a list and sends you a notification/alerts you if there is a match.
You can do the same with Wifi (the kids used to call it wardriving, back when modems were a thing and pringles cans had appreciable metal contents) but the people for whom that information is useful will know how to do it on their own.
We collectively have to stop using term like “immigration crackdown” - when the primary function of these brownshirts is fascist and racist end goals. They are being directed to intimidate populations. They are being directed to ignore constitutional protections. They are violently coercing civilian populations - making them a REAL terrorist group and a public threat. Using the language that keeps the less savvy people from seeing the truth of the actions ONLY serves to aid and abet the criminal and illegitimate group funding and ordering these activities upon citizen populations.
RESIST. EDUCATE. ORGANIZE.
Exactly. If this was about immigration, they’d be out in force in Texas or Florida, which have immigrant populations 10-20x what a state like Minnesota has…
Incorrect. They are, in fact, grabbing people off the street in Florida.
In force
Was a key modifier in that sentence.
Doesn’t legitimize their actions. But yeah, great /s - terrorist activity in red states; things gon’ get wacky quick
To what end, though? To find out if people oppose them? We do.
Take a list of everyone who opposes them.
Sort by strength of opposition.
Use every tool of intelligence gathering to comb over each person’s life looking for crimes to charge them with.
Store opposition in prison until power is secured, then whatever the Supreme Leader wishes.
I don’t think putting 70million people in concentration camps is going to go over well with the rest of the population.
They don’t need to target everyone, just the people with the aptitude and inclination for leadership and organization.
The goal wouldn’t be to arrest everyone who doesn’t like them, just to prevent that anger from leading to the creation of a real political opposition movement.
A leader doesn’t seem necessary. The leaderless nonviolent resistance movement has been winning in the court of public opinion.
But they can run around Tora Bora looking for the president of Antifa if they like.

100%
In some sense, they’re using modern technology to mass produce propaganda but the people actually directing things are still stuck in the 1900s mindset when regards to thinking about power.
Communication Technology has made these kinds of diffuse movements possible, that’s why they’re trying desperately to create an ‘antifa’ to fight against. They want a conflict with a target that they can slander/attack and instead they’re just getting shit spontaneously from every possible angle.
They’re fighting a 20th century battle with 21st century technology. Like Russia using armor to invade a country armed with Javelins.
To track, intimidate and eventually disappear activists I imagine
What, everyone? 2/3 of the country oppose the orangutan.
- We have Steve Bannon suggesting that Trump send ICE to polling locations on election day .
- ICE is currently purchasing large warehouses across the United States so they have more capacity to jail people.
- ICE is now one of the most funded military orgs in the world.
- Trump issued NPSM-7, which lists a bunch of ordinary things as terrorist activities
- ICE agents have started following activists to their homes and intimidating them
So…
What, everyone?
Yes. He will keep broadening the definition of “terrorist” and narrowing the definition of “citizen.” Not saying it will work, but I believe he will try. I think there’s plenty of evidence showing that it’s a real threat.
They make examples of a few to cow the rest into submission. Classic authoritarianism playbook.
Hasn’t worked. People are furious about the deaths and the kidnappings.
And something people don’t understand about the East German regime — people calculate that half the country was spying on the other, implying the stasi was half the population. But it was neighbors denouncing each other as counterrevolutionaries over petty squabbles.
Donald has accidentally united people against him, not divided us.
Dude, totally. I’m just talking about the playbook they’re using. I’m not saying it’s remotely working for them.

Look at this hideous grotesque monster.
I’ve fed on memes and shitposts for decades.
FOR DECADES AND DECADES AND DECADES!!!
ICE also uses AI-powered apps to analyze social media activity and other digital data points to create “life profiles” for people of interest.
The agency has spent at least $5 million on Tangles, a sophisticated tool developed by a company with ties to Israel’s cyber-intelligence community, Forbes reported in September. Tangles mines social media posts, event sign-ups, mobile contacts, location data and more to create nuanced individual portraits and tease out patterns of activity — including organizing and protest — in specific places.
This has always been the goal of facebook. Everything like it falls in that bucket. For the eleventy billionth time, Get the fuck off of them.
Jokes on them, I never leave the house! :(
Really, ICE is watching me? Good to know, I guess. My experience with Minnesotans is they are scammers who always like to show how moral they are. The latest events in that state validated my anecdotes.
Just delete your account there big guy.
What a piece of shit bootlicker.
You’re mad because others have shed light on the fact that you’re a shit bag? That’s your own special problem bud. Glad you’re validated in ignorance though, idk what that buys a mf, but I’m happy for ya.
That’s one colorful comment history.
It’s weird you feel the need to brag about being a piece of shit.
Hey bud, maybe consider turning off the Fox News from time to time.
You don’t like Minnesota because of how moral it is? Alright then.
