Man deported to Laos despite US court order blocking his removal, attorneys say District judge told Ice to keep Alabama man in US while he showed what judge called โ€˜substantial claimโ€™ to citizenship

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command". Apparently George Orwell was not a writer, he was a prophet who predicted this regime. FFS. This just makes me so angry. How TAF, do people look at this plastic POS and believe it's spew?๐Ÿคฎ

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. Theyโ€™ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens.

Kristi Noem: โ€œThere's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those that are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting.โ€

ICE violently abducted 2 kids, ages 12 and 13, and their Dad, here legally, from a car in Durango yesterday. Aided and abetted by the Colorado State Patrol, ICE shot protesters at point blank range with tear gas and rubber bullets to transport the kids, who are now separated from Dad.

Bathroom usage shouldn't be a timed performance.
Unwritten rules for a basic need are a form of harmful surveillance. I need my privacy & my device. I need my autonomy to self-regulate, even in the bathroom. Timed functioning is not true competence.

I don't what to say about Trump publicly stating that Canada was "caught cheating on a commercial," whatever the hell that is.

It's scary and terribly frustrating to watch an obviously mentally ill man with so much power recklessly careen through each day causing such mayhem and destruction.

Will this new โ€œruleโ€ make travelers from #canada (both for personal and business travel) further reconsider their plans to enter US?
(Yes, understand that they have been taking pics at POE for years, but you could opt out!)

Will #privacy officers in your organization be consulted to offer advice?

Hey @bitwarden, what's the story with the cookie customization window on your homepage where none of the buttons actually do anything and the opted-in cookies can't be deselected? That's kind of gross, don't you think?

Amazon quietly moved into hospitals.

Patients at NYU are being told to โ€œscan your palmโ€ with Amazon One, linking biometric IDs to AWS.

This isnโ€™t convenience.

Itโ€™s surveillance wrapped in healthcare.

Whereโ€™s the media?
