A huge thank you to anyone who donated to the gofund me. I'd like to share how we used that money and give you a little peek behind the curtain. Here is a thread.... /1

With your funding we were able to purchase a small server that can run a CRON job to ping the https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ API every hour for the specific hex #s of known ICE Fleet planes. We had started originally using the FlightAware API, which is spendy, but *nice*. You can actually check out /2
Unlike Flight Aware, ADB-S exchange doesn't censor their flights so they are captured midflight by a volunteer army of flight enthusiasts w/ radio transponders/4
Our strategy has changed...now we just take a peek at 'em every hour and see where they are and figure out which ICE facility / country they're flying to. We are writing the results of these pings to a server which can undergird the Viz. These companies don't want visibility but we are going to /5
put it at your fingertips. All credit to @jjindc.bsky.social who ID'd the complete flight numbers and skeets about them regularly. After this is launched, we have another project in mind but if you have any ideas for a project that will fight fascism and/or inconvenience the admin, reach out!
Unrelated to the current immigration issues. I feel like a method for people to report issues they are having with services, negative impacts to their lives since changes from DOGE, and illness or horror stories related to abortion laws or HHS cuts would be huge. I just don't know how best to do it.
we need a public appearance tracker for the Krupt Klown King, Prince "I'm gonna Get my " Just Desserts , Herr Goebbels (miller) and the top brass... never can tell when some fine citizens might want to Join them in conversation: Organizing Reality & Tactics & Logistics https://substack.com/home/post/p-161514302
if you are doing this, please match the frequently visited airfields with nearby ICE detention facilities, then break it down by federal judicial circuits and districts.
Nice little arrangements like this all over the place....https://www.wsoctv.com/news/local/following-ice-arrests-suspects-taken-alamance-county-jail/KVBZ43QZYRHCNKIWIZ4BLC73YU/
Yes, from Liz Cheny. Go after the pillars that hold T up. We need recon on all the low level, mid level, high level. You can't tell the king to stop, but... the others are touchable.
I think a cost of tariffs dashboard would be great. Something that you can filter for nationally and at the state level. Be able to filter by business size, industry, etc. show correlation to unemployment in various states where data is available.
Without something like that people just give and there’s no discipline in holding companies accountable. I work in software so let me know if I can help.
There should be an app that allows users to search a brand or company and see : “ended DNI”, “does business in Russia”, “contributes to Trump”, “capitulated and doing pro-bono work for Trump” etc.
I’ve been thinking for some time that we need an app that provides the equivalent of food labels (ex organic, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free etc.) to companies and brands. It seems like boycotts could be extremely effective in fighting the oligarchs but it’s so hard to track who and what to boycott.
I wrote a Python script that will screen capture location of aircraft IDs every 20 min.
Next up is a bit more in depth, but ideally pulling relevant data into a CSV file to build pattern of life for said aircraft IDs in order to make it easier to cross reference with ICE detention centers.
An area that I think may not be too far down the list for future ICE activity is Suffolk County, NY (eastern Long Island). It’s had MS13-related crime in past years, has an out-of-the-way regional airport in Islip, and has a population generally sympathetic to law enforcement.

That would be… very useful.

Great opportunities to set up protests and boycotts.

I am ALL FOR any action that "inconveniences" this regime!
My new favorite phrase is "practice malicious noncompliance," and this folds in nicely :o)
