More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Can Trump’s Plan for Warehouse Immigrant Detention Camps Be Stopped? ICE has the money it needs to turn warehouses into prisons for immigrants. But local pressure stopped one project in its tracks.

Here is an idea. For every detention/concentration camp he builds give it the name of someone from the administration.

The Kristi Noem Deportation Camp for the Illegally detained.

There. They have their legacy secured.

We need rules to judge by.

@vargas.house.gov Thank you for continuing to press them and hold them to account. Of not watching that it is surprising to me that they so easily produced an audit access log of what files were accessed but are unable to provide an audit report for evidence redaction, which should be logged.

Wait, he fired the only pilot that could fly them where they needed to go that was available for essentially what should have been his fucking job as the boyfriend.

Why can't they just apologize for fucking up instead of blaming everyone else.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

Very worrying. Funneling the audit logs of public access to the files to say Palantir to link up with profiles of others.

If Target can know you're pregnant before you do, imagine this being used to target people.

a man with a beard is talking to another man in a dark room with ravencla-w written on the bottom Alt: The Weasly twins from Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire moments after they are rejected by the Age Requirement Line. As they sit up from being knocked to the floor the hair on their head and face grows and greys resembling that of an old man.

Looks like Discord kids are about to go the way of Roblox Kids. I look forward to explaining to my 16 and 11 year old why they both got 23.

Those apps didn't work when they were gags on Facebook.

I am really interested into digging into the science(?) behind age trust companies.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

HAPPENING NOW: I'm at Otay Mesa Detention Center after hearing very concerning reports about conditions here. Members of Congress have the legal right to enter immigrant detention facilities to conduct oversight with no advance notice. I'm here to do that.

Keep pushing for impeachment. The acts of the executive demand that they do not go quietly into their retirement. If laws are broken they must be held accountable.

Thank you for not giving them more of what they don't need. Now let's start investigating and impeaching those officers and members of the executive branch that have broken the law. Let's see they do not get a second chance at destroying our country.

In the last days, there has been an unprecedented attack targeting investigative journalists trying to seize their Signal accounts. This has gone largely unreported.

I have been repeatedly targeted by phishing, and I learned that also colleagues from other outlets were targeted, with the attackers unfortunately managing to compromise at least one colleague’s account. What’s worrying: this doesn’t seem like an isolated case. A broader wave is apparently hitting journalists (and some civil society actors) via Signal.

How it works: Attackers message you on Signal pretending to be “Signal Support,” warning about “suspicious activity,” and urging you to “re-verify” your account. Once you accept the chat, you receive a real Signal SMS verification code, because the attacker is actively trying to register your number on a new device. If you share that code, you’re handing them the keys. 

Signal’s extra protection is the Signal PIN. If an attacker also tricks you into giving up your PIN (or you don’t have strong protections enabled), they can see your contacts and networks, potentially join chats going forward, and lock you out by changing settings. 

Quick protections worth doing today:
- Signal will never contact you via a two-way in-app support chat. Treat those messages as hostile. 
- Never share SMS codes, Signal PIN, or anything called “registration lock.” 
- Turn on Registration Lock (Settings → Account → Registration Lock). 
- If you see a “safety number changed” alert: verify the person via a different channel (call/video), not just Signal text. 
- Report + block suspicious requests, and review linked devices. 

If you work with sensitive sources: this isn’t just about losing an account, it’s about exposing networks. Please share this with colleagues who rely on Signal day-to-day.

WARNING, fellow journalists: As @nicoschmidt.io explains, attackers are trying to hijack reporters' Signal accounts by tricking people into handing over their 2FA codes. www.linkedin.com/posts/nicosc...
