With ICE's *enormous* new budget and its ability to hire *many* more agents, the United States is about to enter an era of brutal domestic terrorism that we've never seen before.

A sign of the times as a Microsoft employee: This morning it took three tries to sign in to my corporate account. By the second time I started to calculate how long my savings could last if this meant I’m part of the upcoming layoffs. Third time worked. #corporate #employee #stress

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Guest Host Diego Luna on Trump’s Immigration Policies & the Importance of Immigrants in the U.S.

If you haven’t, I invite you to watch Diego Luna’s speech about immigration and Los Angeles. It’s worth your time. youtu.be/7726WoO7mTM?...

This is how you fight back. Please watch. Well done 60 minutes!

Shame on you.

Sounds like a lovely Friday. Have a great weekend.

I wonder if other countries are seeing the same thing or if this is mostly an American issue.

Todo apunta para que durante la nueva administración de Trump se explote toda oportunidad de generar ganancias con poca o nada intervención del gobierno. No es algo nuevo, pero parece que esta vez no queda la mínima intención de disimularlo.

Solo hay que ver la valuación de las empresas privadas en EEUU dedicadas a manejar centros de detención

My wife is a teacher too. Last time Trump was president ICE would be outside schools waiting for parents that showed up to pick up their small kids.
Schools are now asking parents to share a “backup plan” in case small kids get home to find their parents have been taken.

De acuerdo! Casi todas esas marcas tienen algo de burocracia interna para abrir cuentas en nuevas apps (lo digo por experiencia 😉 ). Pero creo que el éxodo de Twitter seguirá y este es un espacio menos tóxico- cuestión de tiempo nada más.

Yo creo que eventualmente llegarán - sobre todo si tanta gente migra hacia acá y deja Twitter por completo.

This is a must-read! It’s important to be informed and take action.

I’ve heard bike parking can be messy- is it the same for motorbikes?

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

So cute!!

Full moon tonight! Remember to look up once in a while.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Que porcentaje será en México?

The phrase “Japan lives in the future” was never more appropriate. Provinces preparing for a time with no young people.
The demographic changes they’re seeing are a window to a global future where technology, social-economic gaps, and reckless individualism will take us to a very lonely old age.

I’m stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
