Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..”

Microsoft handed the government encryption keys for customer data Microsoft complied with a warrant to hand over BitLocker recovery keys to the FBI, and privacy advocates are worried.

Microsoft has confirmed it will hand over BitLocker encryption recovery keys to the FBI. You definitely should not be accepting Microsoft’s default of storing BitLocker keys in the cloud when signing into Windows with an MS account www.theverge.com/news/867244/...

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”.

Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists.

Name them, record them, and make it public.

Why Trump’s Justice Department Is Redefining Dissent as Terrorism This is how the government turns protected speech into a federal crime.

I hope these fears prove overblown, but right now I am extremely concerned about the Justice Department accusing state leaders of domestic terrorism because they refuse to assist racist immigration crackdowns. Seems like a prelude to something even worse. slate.com/news-and-pol...

BREAKING: The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, just delivered the strongest rebuke of Donald Trump we’ve seen yet regarding Greenland. Wow.

YouTube video by Warner Bros. Entertainment Sinners | I Lied To You Song | Movie Clip | Warner Bros. Entertainment

The reason I love the film Sinners is because (a) it is excellent, but also (b) the scene that connects people and culture across time is extremely representative of the above point in my previous post.

Think about how universal the language of music and dance is.

Machines will never have that.

The Civil Rights Division is going to charge a Black Man under the Ku Klux Klan Act on MLK day.

Do I have that right?

Jessica: The WSJ is reporting that there are incentives for ICE Agents because they need to meet that insane 3,000 people per day quota—they are getting rewarded even if they bring in people who then get released…

Only 3 Republicans in the House (4 vacancies) and 20 Republicans in the Senate are needed to impeach, REMOVE, AND CONVICT Donald Trump. Only 23 People – 23 people MUST summon their courage and do the right thing.

We found three cars full of masked ICE agents in a residential car park. Our guide asked them if they had a warrant, they refused to answer. I asked them several questions about what they were doing. They then made obscene gestures at us. Shortly afterwards, a drone appeared circling our car.

🇬🇱 As a United States Navy vet, I stand with Greenland and against traitor Trump's fascist aggression.
I am really sorry you have to deal with this asshole.

Damn, it looks just like the photos of the disappeared that were put up by relatives in the South American dictatorships

To the USA we grew up believing in. To the peaceful vision of a country that might have been. What a dream it was. Greed may be the worst of all sins.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Is.. this what justice looks like?

Trump’s U.S.A.I.D. Cuts Hobble Earthquake Response in Myanmar (Gift Article) While China, Russia and other nations have rushed emergency response teams to the devastated country, the U.S., once a leader in foreign aid, has been slow to act.

The Trump administration is killing around the world.

The executive branch is for enforcement generally. Kind of a problem now…

We’re all just cattle to them. Slaughter us and take what is useful.

We are a terrible country.

Here’s something fun I learned this week

If you find yourself in an ER in an abortion ban state and upon intake they discover you’re pregnant, from there on out your care will be different than any non-pregnant person’s. The fetus becomes primary.

BOYCOTT COORS...

Don’t let them scare you.

Don’t let them get you to give up hope.

This is what they want more than anything.

Their evil is never more alive than when we sleep.

DOGE moves to cancel NOAA leases at critical forecasting centers NOAA's nerve center of national weather forecasting is on a lease cancellation list.

Remember when the postal service demolished many high speed sorting machines & removed neighborhood post office drop boxes? This will also affect all of us in a negative way. No buildings ➡️ no supercomputers ➡️ bad forecasting. 🧪💡🔌☀️💨🔋 www.axios.com/2025/03/03/d...

E.P.A. Investigations of Severe Pollution Look Increasingly at Risk (Gift Article) The agency will no longer shut down “any stage of energy production,” absent an imminent threat, a new memo says, and will curtail efforts to cut pollution in poorer areas.

The Environmental Protection Agency will now only protect the bottom lines of polluting corporations.
