From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

What the Father of Black History Can Teach Us About Technology Danielle A. Davis Canty, Esq., says that while technology may be miseducated, we do not have to be.

Historian Carter G. Woodson showed that when systems are designed and governed without the people most affected, inequality is not a mistake – it is the expected result. Technological inequality, in this context, is not surprising. It is predictable, writes Danielle A. Davis Canty.

Refugee released by Border Patrol found dead, sparking outrage Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Border Patrol agents releasing the partially blind refugee, who went missing for days before being found dead.

We obtained footage showing a man who appeared to be refugee Nurul Amin Shah Alam being dropped off by Border Patrol outside a Buffalo coffee shop after 8pm. The shop locks its door at 7pm. He never made it inside, and was found dead five days later:

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

A blind Rohingya man survived a genocide in Burma, escaped to the United States, and then died because immigration officers treated him with such callousness. This story is a tragedy www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...

Well this story blew up. Went to the front page of reddit, hacker news, Gizmodo. People donated thousands of dollars to the legal fund of Jeff Sovern, who dismantled 13 Flock surveillance cameras. The response was near-universal enthusiasm for the project of smashing invasive, exploitative tech.

“My local paper sucked.” My local grocery store sucks, so it would be better if there wasn’t one. My local hospital has long wait times, so they should just close it. Do you hear how you sound?

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.

“.. Mr. Martinez is at least the third U.S. citizen who was shot and killed by federal immigration officers since the start of President Trump’s second term.”

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the “banality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

Yup. Took me a few days to figure it out 😂

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.

Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

Exclusive | State Department identifies Code Pink and other far-left groups as vectors of Chinese influence operations Under Secretary Rogers said groups like Code Pink “denigrate the United States” and “whitewash” the brutal history of the Chinese Communist Party.

Wow. ICYMI - State Dept claims that groups like @codepink.bsky.social
@peoplesforum.bsky.social are secretly pro-CCP - & that we missed it bc “partisan hacks" were too busy "peddling the phony Russia collusion hoax" nypost.com/2026/02/10/u...

Huh, haven’t even published anything spicy lately

So funny to just exist and live rent free in racists’ heads 🤷🏻‍♀️ 💅

A Day for Gaza Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza.

We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.

A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

"Once in the old neighborhood, when he was seven or eight, he’d fallen off his bike, his helmet splitting cleanly in half like a cantaloupe. He showed the halves to all the neighbor kids as a way to warn them to never ride without one."

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

ICE’s Facial Recognition App Misidentified a Woman. Twice In testimony from a CBP official obtained by 404 Media, the official described how Mobile Fortify returned two different names after scanning a woman's face during an immigration raid. ICE has said th...

One of the first things anyone learns about facial recognition is that it is often wrong and that it is biased. And yet ICE is using it all day every day to determine legal status & who to detain. And now we have a high-profile example of it being flat out wrong:

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

North Minneapolis ICE shooting: 6 children hospitalized after flash bang hits van A family was caught in clashes between protesters and law enforcement during civil unrest in north Minneapolis, leading to six children, including a 6-month-old baby, being hospitalized.

"Their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness."

Not the key part of this story, obviously... but they *sold* his phone? WTF?

Think you have to retire the phrase “immigration crackdown” when every major violent spectacle — at least those the news is choosing to highlight — involve US citizens screaming “Check my ID!”
