Well, TBF: after Trump has made the entire world hate Americans, revealed how weak we are with his failing attempt to distract from the Epstein files via a war on Iran, and killed enough immigrants to encourage some of their loved ones to seek revenge... Well, yeah, we're gonna need to watch our asses.

And here I thought the concept of turning Manhattan into a giant prison (see Escape from New York) was absurd. Give Trump credit for managing to turn the entire country into one.

These aren't to keep an eye on people sneaking in, they're to catch people escaping out.

Every time someone says »it’s just the border,« the surveillance footprint quietly grows. Infrastructure built for one purpose has a remarkable habit of finding new ones. A billion dollars buys a lot of cameras, and history suggests the mission rarely stays as narrow as the sales pitch. 🤨

I wonder what a shotgun loaded with birdshot would do to one of these million dollar pieces of equipment.

Their magazine on the subject is quite fascinating. Especially the ALPRs disguised as traffic cones (page 33), and trail cameras in trees, surroundings, trash, and even signs and posts (page 35 and 36) are as interesting as they are creepy...

I wish the word explosion in that title was literal 💥🤭

"The border" is the 200-miles zone?

Edit: 100 miles.
