    And reminder that “gang related” largely just means living in a specific neighborhood

    It nearly appears as if fascism only points to minorities for blame, not for actual reasons. But it does not matter does it? You have many people eating that shit up, it wasn’t worked on for decades in vein.

    I have yet to meet ex-MAGA-turds in my online smut community. Those bastards love what Trump is doing, they simply are not ready to admit they love fascism yet, but they do very much. Don’t get confused by the idiots that got their face eaten, most turds continue to believe their governments narrative.

    If this is using data from the feds then you may as well assume they ONLY went for clean people.

    Ten years ago in Chicago you may recall a controversy about how dragnet surveillance on text messages in black neighborhoods was being used to label hundreds and hundreds of innocent people, many of them kids, as “gang-affiliated” because a friend-of-a-friend was arrested.

    So extrapolate from that into our delightful DOGE era. Yeah none of those people did crimes and the cartels are run by the CIA anyways fuck this
