I always say this—if any data or footage is collected anywhere, eventually police will come asking for it or someone will figure out a way to sell them access to it. This is also true of ICE.

There is no LGB without the T. We rise together and we fall together.

Part of my speech in Parliament for LGBTQ+ History Month:

if that’s what civil servants get trained for, do they really have all the information necessary to audit these plans and ask for alternatives? or are they assuming the consultants are doing a good job and feeling a lot of pressure to streamline the process, including keeping the design budget low

i mean i do know one factor in hamburg for a minute was that they’d stopped building a lot of infrastructure in-house and then parliament passed a measure requiring the city to always go with the lowest bidding contractor which had the obvious effects of paying the ppl who bid unrealistically low

i was just recently telling a friend that i actually cannot explain at all why everything takes 15 years to build here and costs $2.5 billion dollars. it just does. there’s just clearly zero incentive to do otherwise

This is just unconscionable man

Google is stifling anti-ICE speech in the workplace as 1,200 employees call on the company to cut ties The search giant has made it harder and riskier to protest its policies. Workers are still fighting back. Plus: A community takes down a data center, QuitGPT, and the 5 worst Super Bowl AI ads.

At Google, speech critical of ICE is censored from the company's internal platform, employees who speak out are served with warnings, and leadership refuses to acknowledge a petition that's now gotten 1,200 employee signatures.

Inside the worker-led push to get ICE out of Google:

White nationalism isn't an ideology that is based on rigid categories and logic—its appeal is emotional. There are people (e.g., the Nordicists) who tried to define the racial boundaries of whiteness through pseudoscience. But its modern more mainstream form is almost vibes-based.

If you're currently a student at a college with a faculty member who showed up in the Epstein files, I'd like to talk to you about the campus response for an article. You can reach me at miles_klee@wired.com or millionbear.44 on Signal.

FOODWAYS. i know i didn’t just hear this man tell congress that white foodways are being destroyed. as if someone’s rushing up to rip the kale seed packets out of my hands at the hardware store

I was back in federal court today. They’re still prosecuting me — my trial date is May 11th — but we’re pressing for evidence discovery.

Because someone is “unreasonably obstructing the usual use” of the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. But it’s ICE, not me. And the evidence will prove it.

this man thinks he can just gesture and say “foodways” like the password to the mines of moria, sir what are we even doing here

Marine Detained in Minneapolis Says Feds Copied His Phone Without a Warrant He was observing after Alex Pretti's killing. Feds detained him at gunpoint, sampled his DNA, scanned his face, and cloned his phone.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Minneapolis City Council to debate $5M fund shift to support local businesses A Minneapolis City Council member is proposing to allocate $5 million to support local businesses, but some argue the city lacks the funds.

Some personal news

María del Rosario Díaz García needs to raise $4,750 to get her son's body back to Nicaragua after he died at ICE's Camp East Montana earlier this month.

The Texas Nicaraguan Community has set up a donation link on her behalf at: www.facebook.com/share/p/1DLk...

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

Jaahnavi Kandula should be alive today.

"Caught on body cam video in conversation with police union leader Mike Solan, Auderer joked and laughed about Kandula’s death, saying, 'Just write a check. $11,000. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value.'"

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us.

Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

The FBI seizure of Georgia 2020 election ballots relies on debunked claims An FBI investigation of the 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga., was initiated by a lawyer who aided President Trump's unsuccessful efforts to overturn that election, an unsealed affidavit says.

UPDATE/SCOOP:

An FBI affidavit used to seize 2020 election ballots from Georgia's Fulton County omitted key findings from state investigators that undercut many questions about wrongdoing, an @npr.org analysis finds.

"He's my first born," Susan Pretti said. "He's the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day."
