Republicans defending ICE terrorism telling me "there are consequences to breaking the law."

We're not anti-tech, we're anti-theft. If the future of “innovation” depends on stealing creators’ work without asking or paying, that’s not progress - it's stealing, and we shouldn’t accept it. #StealingIsntInnovation www.stealingisntinnovation.com/

Honestly. There is no easy fix to <waves in GenX> alla this. But a starting place could be to address the CRIME of Citizens United. Corporations are NOT people. Money is NOT speech. And the place we're in right now? Owes a LOT to those two things being perverted by Citizens United.

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

Also, MS you suck for not allowing the highlighting of text in the MS store for copy & paste

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
