Seeing how many lifted trucks there are out in the roads on a Saturday has me fuming about this again. People will die on the roads because of these trucks. There is not one ounce of political will to do what is needed.

Immigrant whose skull was broken in eight places during ICE arrest says beating was unprovoked A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked.

Breaking someone's skull in eight places is not law enforcement. It's attempted murder.

I try to stay mostly apolitical on this account, and really this isn't a political statement as much as a reflection of what reviewers are saying. In any event, it made me actually laugh out loud. (@deadder.bsky.social is la crรจme de la crรจme of editorial cartoonists, IMHO.)

ICEโ€™s surveillance technology goes beyond facial recognition Federal immigration agencies are using a vast surveillance network in Minnesota โ€“ from facial recognition technology to โ€˜stingraysโ€™ that collect data by impersonating cell phone towers.

Damning article on fascist USA.

- Disable location services on phones
- Disable biometric authentication such as FaceID or TouchID
- Regularly update software,
- Use secure communication tools with end-to-end encryption

Palantir is in Canada too.

Trump just accused Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of staging the recent attack on her. He sure must know about staging attacks. Except in his case an innocent person lost his life and conveniently the shooter was killed.

First, isn't it illegal to fire somebody on maternity leave? Second, the fact that she was denied EI is another example that being a woman puts you in a second class in the workforce.

We apply general standards on real life exceptions that should be accounted for.

Vancouver tech company Hootsuite facing backlash for contract with U.S. Homeland Security, which oversees ICE | CBC News CEO Irina Novoselsky saidย Hootsuiteย has worked with government organizations across countries and administrations for more than 15 years, including the U.S. government.

Is the CEO of Hootsuite believable or just naive?

The previous CEO cancelled an ICE contract in 2020 because of strong staff reaction at that time.

What changed (besides the CEO) in 2026?
