“The most wealthy and powerful tech CEOs are still staying silent as ICE floods America’s streets, but now some researchers and engineers working for them have chosen to break rank.”

Great @laurengoode.bsky.social story:
Tech Workers Are Condemning ICE Even as Their CEOs Stay Quiet
The killing of George Floyd in 2020 prompted a wave of statements from tech companies and CEOs. Today, pushback against ICE is largely coming from employees, not executives.

Not even in the top 100 worst ethical lapses in Trump's presidency, but the Secretary of Labor apparently had her staffers create fraudulent records of fake work trips so she could take time off (and have an affair with a subordinate)

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

The law does not (should not) base decisions on how inconvenient fixing your mistake would be. It's about whether you were legally wrong to do it in the first place. Fixing it is your problem.

ICE agents terrified of the pushback, as their families, and friends turn against them. As a result, DHS is having trouble getting volunteers to attack innocent citizens.

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

All agents of the State being documented abusing and/or killing people will be vulnerable if Trump is removed from office, as they will be open to prosecution. What Trump has done on top of everything else is guarantee these agents will fight to the death to keep him in power until he dies.

If any private lawyer acted this disrespectfully towards a federal judge, we would be facing bar proceedings, court sanctions or both. The fact that Trump administration lawyers continue to act this way is a disgrace. It is time for judges to put an end to it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

So let me get this straight. The man who tore down the East Wing of the White House in order to build an oversized ballroom that no one asked for has launched an investigation into Jerome Powell over renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters.

Did I get that right?

20M registered Democrats didn't bother to vote in '24.

90M people of voting age never even bothered to register to vote.

Voter turnout was under 65% putting US in the lower third of all democracies.

Freedom isn't free.

Too many people took too much for granted for too long.

This has to change.

As Trump’s DOJ pursues Powell, it's worth appreciating the brazenness: Trump abusing the justice system. He knows he’s abusing the system. He knows that we know he’s abusing the system — but he’s doing it anyway.

The corruption is the point. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
