Pretty, funny, and a self-proclaimed threads.com slut, @nomadnovelswithtea [https://www.threads.com/@nomadnovelswithtea/post/DN0V-Pf2Oq-] is perhaps best known for her infamous “vibrator self-humilation at the airport” story – the viral incident that first introduced her to the wider world. Today, however, she is making headlines for something far more serious.
Although she lives in one of the most racist, minority suppressing countries in the West, she has bravely decided to start a campaign publically trolling one of the most powerful state agencies in the West – the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
ICE’s official mission is to protect America from cross-border crime and illegal immigration. But for her, ICE has become a symbol of suppression and fear. In this environment, Her decision to openly troll ICE on public platforms is nothing short of audacious.
Why? Because her full name is already available in archives, and modern tagging systems will inevitably link her posts directly to her passport identity. Once that happens, the automatic systems of ICE and allied agencies move instantly. It is no secret that political disruptors, especially those who mock state power, end up flagged in the Universal Security Profiling System. This is no local blacklist – it is shared across Western security networks and you don’t need to be a miscreant or a criminal trolling government sites is a category that flags your passport globally as that of a potential troublemaker.
Consider the bigger picture: all major Western nations tie passports to international watchlist databases. These feed directly into the EU’s ETIAS system, which pre-screens every traveller, and into APIS and ATS, which silently score every passenger for “risk”. Crucially, you never know your score. You only feel it at the airport: four-hour interrogations, unexplained detentions, strip and cavity searches. The humiliation comes quietly, and always when you are most powerless.
In this context, @nomadnovelswithtea [https://www.threads.com/@nomadnovelswithtea/post/DN0V-Pf2Oq-] ’s stand is more than a stunt. It is a reminder of what it costs to challenge the system. To stand up for undocumented people, to troll ICE when you know exactly how watchlists work, is an act of rare defiance.
If more people were willing to take such risks for their beliefs – knowing the silent consequences that follow – perhaps the world would indeed become a more just place.
