Unfortunately, the ICEBlock app is activism theater
At this summer's HOPE conference, Joshua Aaron spoke about ICEBlock, his iPhone app that allows users to anonymously report ICE sightings within a 5 mile radius, and to get notifications when others report ICE sightings near them. You can see the full talk, and the lively/infuriating Q&A, here,

Good. This is how it’s done.
Does this mean “you should love this politician” or “you should count on this politician to save us all” or “you should get a tattoo of this politician on your buttocks?”
No.
Does it mean “the words and behavior of public figures matter” and “politicians can be useful tools of resistance” and “keep the pressure up because it’s working?”
Hell yes. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:26tsf647wqnoo7umh4ywwz7a/post/3lxuwzcx4s22r

Le tremblement de terre qui a frappé les environs de Jalalabad, dans l’est du pays, dans la nuit de dimanche à lundi, a fait plus de 800 morts et 2 700 blessés. Mais la difficulté d’accès à certaines vallées reculées et les insuffisances du régime taliban font redouter un bilan encore plus lourd.

The co-founder of landlord app Airbnb is now Chief Design Officer of the USA. And the UX commentariat cheers, because the vibes of a "seat at the table" play better than the reality: the same government that appointed Joe Gebbia has just demolished 18F, an actual design studio that did actual UX work for the USA, rather than meaningless posturing.
This is not the first time UX has made this bargain: have a seat at the table, only if you can pledge to do nothing with it.
