Wear a mask.

I've been trying to think of an appropriate and effective protest.

For the people facing ICE's denial of our freedom, wearing a mask denies them the ability to profile us based on the color of our skin.

Plus it would help thwart the Palantir facial recognition shit..

Just a reminder: these photos federal agents are taking are part of a growing surveillance state w no oversight. Agents use facial recognition, phone tracking, license plate readers, fused government databases built by contractors like Palantir. What was tested on immigrants is expanding to citizens
