This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

We cannot just defeat ICE in the streets. We must defeat ICE in our minds, city councils, and police forces.

Need something to watch this week? In this keynote I discuss:
1. The thinking behind passkeys; _why_ my team at Apple worked with others to evolve FIDO authentication
2. Using passkeys to replace passwords + traditional 2FA
3. Passkey data export/interoperability (putting "vendor lock-in" to rest)

"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

If NVIDIA says it’s not Enron then I guess it isn’t Enron and the stock market isn’t a bubble about to burst.
Nvidia refuted accounting questions in a memo to analysts, saying "Unlike Enron, NVIDIA does not use Special Purpose Entities to hide debt and inflate revenue" (Tae Kim/Barron's Online)

this is far too common to be dismissed as anecdota tbh. the sheer number of clubs and social groups that couldn't survive remote, or stayed permanently remote, had a huge impact on the social lives of like 100 million americans bsky.app/profile/adis...
this is just anecdotal but among my social circle like 90% of regularly scheduled in-person hangouts simply imploded over COVID and never returned. it's way, way harder to start these things than end them.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

Why is it so hard for this man to admit that he got it colossally wrong by putting partisan politics ahead of science, medicine and the health and safety of the people of this country?

Politicians would earn so much more respect if more would openly admit when they get things disastrously wrong.
TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?

CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.

I have friends in the animal rights world who — months back — thought there would be some sort of silver lining to the RFK regime, and I want to emphasize that cancelling HIV research and euthanizing a ton of chimps is not a silver lining for anyone involved.

A report released this month by the #California Dept of Fish and Wildlife found that rat poisons are still unintentionally poisoning wildlife at high rates.

The powerful anticoagulant #rodenticides were found in 95% of mountain lions and 69% of nontarget wildlife tested.

Trump wants the MMR split. Kennedy rewrote CDC vaccine–autism language. Sen. Ron Johnson says it’s “time to apologize to Dr. Wakefield.”

Across MAHA/MAGA media, the movement has fully adopted the anti-vaxx fiction of Wakefield as a martyr and is elevating him again.

Jesus, doesn't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don't expect me to cry
For the wrong reasons I’d rather die
Don't ever ask your love of me
