(v29) I decided to start a list of links as I thought that there was no collection of links. We should collect links and images relating to 50501. Please share this list around. If you want to save this repo to your hard drive, click the view source button and copy. Give suggestions to add or edit to the list, via replies or messages, description is not required but appreciated.

Selected parts for those who don't want to brave the soft paywall:

At an ICE career expo, thousands line up to ‘defend the homeland’

So far, the Department of Homeland Security said it has received more than 130,000 applications, and if the hiring fair in this community wedged between Dallas and Fort Worth offers any indication, plenty of people are eager to sign up. Despite polls showing that growing numbers of Americans disapprove of Trump’s aggressive tactics and images of masked ICE agents whisking immigrants off the streets, 3,000 applicants showed up to submit résumés at last week’s career expo, drawn in part by the president’s call to serve and the promise of a signing bonus of up to $50,000 for top recruits.

Kole Wunschel, 18, passed a dozen protesters who taunted him and his father as they made their way into Esports Stadium. “America was built by immigrants,” read one woman’s sign. Another yelled, “Why are you signing up for the Gestapo?” “I want to do anything that betters our country,” Wunschel said before his father, Kim, cut him off.

The recruiting push has come with militaristic branding that evokes World War II-era U.S. propaganda posters featuring Uncle Sam, casting immigration enforcement as a defense against an “invasion.” At the hiring expo, a video played on a large screen in a dimly lit room touting ICE’s role investigating human trafficking and drug-smuggling, and showing agents in fatigues and bulletproof vests.

“I keep seeing these memes where Indians are bragging about taking our tech jobs,” said Ely, 36. “So I said, ‘Oh yeah? Well I’m going to work with these guys that are going to arrest you, slam your face on the pavement and send you home.’”

Some candidates said they do have reservations about what the job might entail. Osborne, the former Marine, said there might be orders he doesn’t feel entirely comfortable with, like being told to arrest the parent of a young child whose only crime was crossing the border illegally.

“That would weigh on my heart,” Osborne said. “It’s a tough moral question, for sure.”

Still, he said, “To call ICE the Gestapo — that’s ridiculous.”

To quote from the article and save you the click (edited to align with sub rules- link has direct wording):

"Former (political) strategist Stuart Stevens believes (everyone) should (place) President Donald Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem around the (WH)'s necks — and he has an idea how they could do it.

Stevens, who long ago abandoned (his former party) over Trump and has urged a fighting stance against his agenda, weighed in on the subject on X in response to a clip of Noem claiming, with no evidence, that "I do know that LA wouldn't be standing today if President Trump hadn't taken action" and deployed federal troops to the city in response to anti-deportation protests....

... "when I was a (political) operative, we loved to label (the other side) as unpatriotic," Stevens continued. "Which is what (everyone) should do. No (one) who voted to confirm this willfully ignorant fool can call themselves a patriot." "

A chorus of voices would have a strong impact, don't you think- add this to your messaging!

Just based on intuition, and how AI/tech dependent we are becoming, Peter Thiel is going to have a big contribution to ruining our liberation and autonomy. I'm not the best political judger, so I have provided just some links that caught my attention to generalize my concerns.

Palantir is our biggest enemy. I just don't know what we can do. I just want a call to action.

Great turnout today! Police lined up across the street keeping us off property (we still snuck some photos by sign) but police also chased away obnoxious Maga smucks who were screaming at us and blocking traffic
