If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

I wonder how the employees of Overstory Media feel about having their tech bro founder call the company "a failure" in his little newsletter, while they continue to show up at work and try to bring in readers, workers and advertisers?

This is not an "oopsie"; since 2004, the BC Min of Education has followed the Area Standards Policy which *deliberately builds schools too small*. It's fucked up and should've changed the moment @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social formed govt. #BCEd #BCPoli panvancouver.github.io/downloads/18...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people
