DHS is waging a bi-coastal assault on the free speech rights of people speaking truth about power. Last fall, in a separate case, the agency unsuccessfully sought the identity of our client who discusses ICE activity on Instagram. www.aclunorcal.org/press-releas...

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

This article tells the story of our client who was so targeted.

If a foreign country bombed us (killing noone-is-reporting-how-many Americans) and loaded Trump onto an airplane for a foreign prison, would we call it "regime change" or an invasion? Would we say Trump was "captured", or abducted?

News needs to use the right words, not euphemisms.

I gave money to San Francisco Aid for Animals, a nonprofit that helps pay for medical care for animals whose families cannot afford the treatment. There are few greater joys in life than the love between a pet and an owner, and money shouldn't be allowed to come between them.

I gave money to the SF-Marin food bank. Food insecurity is real, especially when kids aren't in school, where estimates are that almost 20% of all kids rely on free lunch for their nutrition. With cuts to SNAP programs, families don't know if they are going to have enough to eat. It's immoral.

It's great that some of the charges against journalist @bubbaprog.xyz were thrown out. We needed some good news.

We wrote last year about why the rest should be tossed too. It's not journalists' job to keep corporations' secrets, and it's not computer fraud when they report what they find online.
