@ekansa That pairs so perfectly with the news that ICE has now been given access to the US License Plate registration system so that they can track vehicles/people across state lines.

@sonicbooming Yes. Institutions deploy algorithms to target the politically most marginalized first.

Then they work their way up the socio-economic ladder to enslave us all.
