Homeland security if you are reading this shame on you! you are working for a pedophile!
They can gauge this: Fuck ICE.
These newsletters come out all the damn time and are relatively easy to get signed up for these Fusion Center briefs. You can generally apply if you have at least a remote level of need for them either through physical security, or cyber security.
They're typically based on SAR (suspicious activity reporting), so they're essentially briefs and generally tip guides about things that might be happening in your state or area. All those tips that you send via tips.fbi.com or similar tend to make their way to your local fusion center. They get marked down for relevant current political climate stuff from multiple agencies, typically include thwarted terrorist events or online calls for action, and will usually training available.
While most of the info in these newsletters are For Official Use Only, there's a lot that might straight up be publicly available which can still be shared under the CUI Program. You just can't share the entire document itself since it's typically unclassified, but that doesn't mean you can share it publicly. Parts of it maybe, it'll tell you which parts you can. It's similar to Traffic Light Protocol for any CISA stuff if you get those. TLP Clear is capable of being publicly released. Everything else has some sort of limitation.
Budget-Chicken-2425, waking up one day to find out the entire world is reading your FBI domestic terrorist dossier:

That's enough to radicalize a chicken.
They're not anti-ICE, they're anti-abuse. If ICE chooses to abuse, ICE chooses to become a target of everyone who opposes abuse.
I'm sure that's a distinction the magastapo will appreciate as they beat you to death.
Is Homeland Security chasing bots? Because that’s the bottiest name I’ve ever seen. If so, please continue. 🍿
I find it odd, but a lot of newer users on Reddit go with the default suggested username and those follow the word-word-0000 template.
At the same time, it might be better for privacy to do that since it's less likely that someone can track you across platforms if you use the generator built into each platform.
I did that with my new user. It’s easier to use an account for a year or two and burn it. I don’t care about the fake points. And I am not doing anything wrong. But if tou give a lot of oppinions it’s a lot of data for social engineering, so for privacy reason it’s a good practice to not be attached to any account.
Fair enough. Maybe I’m too old for the internet.
Maybe the internet truly is... No Country for Old Men...

Learned from growing up in a communist dictatorship: don't discuss politics and religion with strangers. And even with friends or acquaintances, don't discuss it in writing. It doesn't mean you can't have strong opinions, but don't make them public. Talking (not writing) one-to-one or in small groups eventually toppled almost all communist dictatotships, so there's absolutely no need to broadcast your opinions, unless your goal is to be martyred.
I’m a citizen so they can fuck off
I'm not, but I also don't live there
So they can still fuck off.
Also I have free healthcare and consumer protection laws
So if you do something like call for a protest you'll need to use a foreign VPN and a burner account.
I'm guessing people soon will accidentally start falling out the windows in US too.
Not necessary when they can already just shoot us dead in the street with no consequences.
You know, looking back getting banned for saying "fuck trump and Obama" was a blessing in disguise. I still miss my cheap knockoff watch sub though :(
All my email addresses are perma-banned for replying to right wingers. I had death threats, people questioning my sanity and calling me slurs. When I tried to respond with even an iota of the same energy - banned. On Reddit, the right wing is king.
