It's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful.
It should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

Social media isn't the problem.
"Engagement maximizing" algorithms deciding what you see is the problem.
This has been true for 20 years now, and we still haven't addressed the real problem.
We've been subject to the "paperclip maximizer" AI threat for 20 years, and most people still don't realize it. The few that do have been bribed to not realize it.

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities.
Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.
