It's true, I heard that in recent news protesters have gone from assaulting ICE officers with the smaller 6-inch subs to using entire footlongs.

First amendment applies to citizens, not just “media organizations”. Serious contradiction between your major advocacy about protecting ICE and your minor hedge to avoid getting ghosted.

> The anti-ICE protesters have been well organized, well equipped,

Civilians being well organized and well equipped (?) is a problem why?

> and sometimes violent

And yet the videos coming out of the US, of protesters being shot by ICE where non violent.

> for the purposes of collecting intelligence on their targets (who are federal law enforcement agents).

What does "target" mean exactly, I haven't read anything other than doxxing agents, annoying, and verbally harrasing them?

Also, I'd be more wary about the state if things when there's plethora news circulating of US law enforcement buying up all kinds of data for flagging undesirable citizens. More so when Palantir is involved and the developed tech is any authoritarians wet dream.

Everyone gets the first amendment

It's pretty amusing seeing someone really trying to do the "I'm just a casual observer here, but.." about this. Like who even is the intended audience for this pitch? Is there some critical analysis here you wanna push to convice people of something? It feels too casual to either be trying to change some minds or reinforce something already entrenched. Its like... nothing. Is this dead internet?

I'm not taking sides here, but it seems the government might want to soldiers to quarter in my home, search my refrigerator, and seize my lemon pound cake. These anti-slavery protestors have been well-equipped with Constitutional protections and occasionally resistant to infringements. I have no knowledge. Obviously, media corporations should have more rights than human beings for the purposes of explaining why everything is just absolutely fantastic.

Nobody is going to give you an award for licking the boot dude.
