Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

Minnesota is full of companies that position themselves as pillars of the local community, Target, General Mills, Best Buy, Cargill, and Land O’Lakes, among them. Have they said anything about ICE's attack on their customers and employees? Not a single one. www.fastcompany.com/91476021/min...
We asked Minnesota's biggest companies about ICE. None of them responded
In a sign of how far we've come from the summer of 2020, well-known brands have stayed silent as escalating chaos unfolds in their backyard.

Maguire posted a now-deleted video on X stitching together dubious 'evidence' and declared it seemed “very likely” the student was responsible. Maguire's bio says he's on the lookout for "high-IQ founders." He doesn't mention if he's also looking for ones who display good judgment and discernment.

In the wake of the tragedy at Brown, online conspiracists rushed to pin the horrific mass murder on an innocent Palestinian student. One of them was Shaun Maguire, a partner at leading VC firm Sequoia Capital.

Fast Company’s @ainsleyharris.bsky.social met with Doricko in Utah, where he’s working to restore the depleted Great Salt Lake. In a series of conversations, they discussed the world-changing potential of his tech, his religious beliefs, and what America First really means to him.

His biography is also complicated. Though Doricko courts politicians on the left and right, while he was a student at UC Berkeley, he was at at least briefly aligned with Nick Fuentes. Doricko’s religious conviction has also raised eyebrows, with some accusing him of using Rainmaker to play God.

But the typical founder storyline ends there.
This year, Doricko has found himself in a maelstrom. His company has been attacked by politicians and right-wing conspiracy theorists, who accuse it being responsible for the devastating flooding in Texas over the summer. He’s received death threats.

Augustus Doricko might seem like a typical startup founder. He’s raised $31 million in venture capital for Rainmaker, which uses drones to ‘seed’ clouds, bringing water to drought-prone areas. There’s technological wizardry and a world-changing mission. www.fastcompany.com/91448561/thi...

Last year, Geo took in about $1 billion from its contracts with ICE—41% of its annual revenue. That’s set to skyrocket alongside ICE’s budget, which is earmarked to receive an additional $75 billion through 2029 via the One Big Beautiful Bill. 5/6
