Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Hawaii

[MyManao]

For those so concerned.. maybe ICEBlock will help..

From their website @ https://www.iceblock.app

ICEBlock is an innovative, completely anonymous crowdsourced platform that allows users to report Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity with just two taps on their phone. In recent years, ICE has faced criticism for alleged civil rights abuses and failures to adhere to constitutional principles and due process, making it crucial for communities to stay informed about its operations.

Modeled after Waze but for ICE sightings, the app ensures user privacy by storing no personal data, making it impossible to trace reports back to individual users. Available exclusively for iOS devices, ICEBlock empowers communities to stay informed about ICE presence within a 5-mile radius while maintaining their anonymity through real-time updates and automatic deletion of sightings after four hours.

Follow the link on that site to download ICEBlock for iPhone.. also read why they don't distribute the app for Android phones.. because google doesn't protect their user's anonymity..

Bo Louden (his post in a now deleted screenshot above) is a teenage influencer.  And rich.
Probably not a fount of wisdom when it comes to understanding what working class people go through so they're not hungry at the end of the day.

I would pay $5 to watch Bo though, if he can lift a 100 pound bag of Kona coffee beans, and another $1 for every foot he carries the sack.  My guess is it would cost me $0.  About what his life experience and opinions are worth.

Careful now everybody - - it seems promoting and possibly even discussing this new ICEBlock App may get you in big trouble and you may end up having criminal charges filed against you:


(Now I can't shake that damn ICE, ICE Baby song playing in my head for some reason!)

Good one.  He's quite obviously a punk, and probably not what you'd call a credible witness.  

I highly doubt if anyone is using or abusing that app in Hawaii.

So, our esteemed Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins feels that its easy peasy to replace those undocumented Kona Coffee Farm workers - with - of course - "able bodied adults - on Medicaid."

"She then suggested a doozy of a plan to replace deported farmworkers: A combination of “automation and 100% American participation,” which she said could be provided by what she called the “34 million people, able-bodied adults, on Medicaid.”"

“There will be no amnesty,” Rollins said. “The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce towards automation and 100 percent American participation, which, again, with 34 million … able-bodied adults on Medicaid, we should be able to do that fairly quickly.”

I'd be willing to pay Brooke here $100.00 just to stand in the hot Kona sun for 15 minutes, much less harvest and carry 100 pound bags of Kona Coffee beans 12 plus hours a day.

which, again, with 34 million … able-bodied adults on Medicaid,

Does she realize that many people have Medicaid because they ARE NOT able bodied?

Does she realize..

Sure, they all realize. But their goal is to eliminate all of the non-able-bodied amongst us.. literally, they want them dead.

Just like Netanyahu.. he doesn't care about the Palestinians as long as they die. He doesn't say it, but look, the proof is as clear as the day is long. He is intent on killing every single one of them.

That is exactly the game plan, the model, the feds are working towards.. right here, in Hawaii. Everyone on welfare of any kind will lose it and they don't give a hoot.. they want everyone not working in those fields, their factories, dead. If you're not willing to slaughter pigs.. go and die.. not willing to harvest coffee.. die!

Just think of the housing possibilities.. once a third of Puna is eliminated folks still here will have the pick of 'em all..

If you want, just take it.. the dead can't bitch.

I have hired field workers in the past.  You might think anyone and everyone can pick beans.  They can’t.  Or pick strawberries.  They can’t.

I hired a yard worker once who weeded one square foot in an hour.  I did some math for him.  At $10 an hour times 44,000 square feet, it would cost me $440,000 to weed my yard.  Did that seem reasonable?  He’s now working for Hawaii County.

It’s not skilled labor, but yet not everyone is capable of doing those jobs.

We won't need that extra road out or have to deal with the traffic anymore.
Sounds like a win for the remaining 2/3.
