Facebook uses php? Ew.

Before I saw someone link ice.gov, I thought this meant "internal combustion engine" vehicles. I imagine many others will as well

This suggestion is going to get someone's Honda Civic disabled just because it has an engine lmao

What really worries me is if an AI were to go rogue and repeatedly fill in this form with plausible but false details.

https://www.ice.gov/webform/ice-tip-form

It'd waste hundreds of hours of brave ICE enforcer time, and clog up the internal system. Especially if it kept passing in duplicates, because the site specifically warms against that.

You will just end up paying for it.

Mass deportations are not just a humanitarian crisis—they’re an economic disaster. Study after study has shown that immigrants contribute far more to the economy than they take, with long-term benefits that outweigh short-term costs. They start businesses, fill essential jobs, pay taxes, and drive innovation. Removing millions of workers overnight doesn’t just strip industries of labor; it also eliminates consumers, reduces tax revenue, and weakens local economies. The last large-scale immigration crackdown in 2018 left farms, construction sites, and service industries scrambling, leading to higher prices and economic contraction. This policy isn’t about protecting American jobs—it’s about gutting the economy for the sake of political theater.

The cost of this mass deportation effort is staggering—billions spent on enforcement, detention, and transport, all while Trump is slashing taxes for the wealthy. That means ordinary Americans will ultimately foot the bill, either through cuts to public services or increased debt. And for what? To remove people who contribute more than they take? Instead of investing in solutions that integrate immigrants into the economy and strengthen communities, this administration is burning taxpayer money to break apart families, disrupt businesses, and create an international human rights crisis. If we’re talking about a "net negative," it’s not immigrants—it’s the policies driving this destruction.

So yeah, you will end up paying for it.

How will they catch you if they have no valve stems on any of their vehicles?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They'll roll into a ball and chase you down sonic the hedgehog style.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Take the valves out of the valve stems.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If the screw in valve caps are accessible it would be unfortunate if a single lentil got shoved into the cap. That would cause a slow leak without physically damaging the tire.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I like this idea

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

The caps on the valve stem of my old bike had a tool in the opposite end for doing this moulded in. Small and convenient.

Don't get hung up deciding between all the different suggestions in this thread. They are all good. Do whichever seems right in the moment. The important thing is that you do something. Every bit helps.

Damn, you really need a different acronym for that.
I seriously thought this was some extremist fuckcars shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's because it is. Originally at least

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago

What is so extreme about limiting the movement of people that want to hurt innocent people?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I am so tired and also so stupid that even after reading your comment I still didn't get it. And then finally it clicked based on what you wrote.

Sigh.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I'd rather see JSO cutting valve stems of ICE cars than obstructing traffic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fuckcars aren't out to spare EVs over ICEs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Fuckcars aren't, anti-oil folks might be

Glue a bb in the valve cap. It’ll let the air out with no sign of tampering. And happen angain every time they top it up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I hear lentils work as well, possibly the most economic and eco friendly option.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

That's brilliant!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Won't it loudly hiss air when they refill and screw cap back on?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It should slowly leak out if you tighten it just so. Probably depends on the valvecap design but generally the standard black ones will not leak rapidly even if they screw them all the way. A peppercorn or airsoft bb will also work.
