A small Journey plane landed in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. This is the first flight since Equatorial Guinea agreed to accept third-country nationals and it’s unclear if such nationals are on board. The plane departed Alexandria, LA yesterday and stopped in Barbados.

The genocide is still ongoing and in a far more horrific way than before.
In genocide, thoughts devour people.
Whoever doesn’t die from the bombing, the fire, the cold, the hunger, the humiliation of the tent, or illness… will be eaten alive by their own thoughts and die.

I really think the most important things to evaluate about Signal if you are not in a group chat of encryption experts are:
1. How secure is every device in the group chat?
2. How safe from harm is every person in the group chat?
3. How much trust is there between every person in the group chat?

The Trump administration openly says that it will use its domestic spying capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. And ICE has been bulking up on the latest surveillance technology.

NEW: ICE has finally released post-shutdown detention data. The latest data reveals that a full 40%(!) of people arrested in the interior and held in ICE detention have no criminal record; no criminal charges or prior convictions. That is up from just 4% when Trump took office.

From what I've seen, the best analysis of this definitional game played by DHS is from @prisonpolicy.org. Their report back in July showed that ICE's public detention numbers capture about 2/3 of the actual number of people in ICE custody.
