- Since she was in her car they could have identified her by her car’s number plate - but facial recognition sounds scarier - which I guess is the point.
- By the time this is all said and done we’re going to wind down the DHS in its entirety, bogus lists of political enemies included
- This is a bit thin to be drawing any conclusions. Only what one person claims. Has this happened to anyone else? Might there be another reason (that they're not telling us) that this happened?

- The authoritarianism infrastructure was always there, it's been built for decades from red scare, McCarthyism, post 9/11 legislation, carnivore type monitoring with joke oversight, and now AI for the firehose.
We are extremely lucky that this is the form of authoritarianism is currently being exerted.
It could be so so so much worse

- > The agent stated that I was impeding their work
Note how these thugs just casually lie to create some fantasy narrative that runs completely counter to the ideas of the Constitution, an open society, and government responsible to The People. When the fascist talking heads get on TV and claim that agents had no choice but to execute another American because they were being "impeded", everyone would do well to remember how readily their whole organization characterizes passive and peaceful democratic activity as "impeding".
