Scum seek jobs where they can act like scum with authority.
Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

Secretary of DHS openly lying.

Here's something from the website of the FBI. You know, the people she's lying about having exclusive jurisdiction. Saying that they do not "take over" investigations.

With the federal government threatening to send ICE "door to door", here's a reminder:

"If an officer knocks on your door: Do not open the door. Teach your children not to open the door. Officers must have a warrant signed by a judge to enter your home. ICE “warrants” are not signed by judges […]

There is an app we use to agrigate social media mentions to get signal about what people are saying about our app. It is not accessible. My communications with them on this topic have gone thusly:

Them: Oh no! We're so sorry. Let's go […]

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).

Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

1984 is over-cited, but nothing fits the government and its supporters blatantly lying about ICE’s murder of Renee Good when video from multiple angles show she posed no threat than “the Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

@[email protected] @[email protected] you're throwing cash at the big apps by giving them unlimited access to your data to sell, while these free apps don't sell data, don't have ads, and don't have a revenue stream at all. You're expecting devs to just "magic" a fully featured app to compete with mega corporations for nothing. Either drop your expectations a little and show some gratitude or pay them.
