There are numerous articles enumerating how the people employed at the companies which make kid-targeted devices and services do not give their kids screen time. That should tell you something.

The administration is relocating ICE agents to other parts of the country to see if they can achieve better results with the same tactics there.

If you're outside the Twin Cities, learn and replicate their model for resistance.

If you're in the Twin Cities, keep your networks intact and carry on.๐Ÿ–ค

An edited screenshot of Chris Murphy's post saying, "DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants.  Democrats shouldnโ€™t fund an out of control ICE." The edit crosses out in red the words "an out of control," in the last sentence.

@schiff.senate.gov As a Californian, I am telling you that if you want my vote you need to follow Senator Markey's lead here. This administration is building concentration camps.

I don't care how many have cameras. I'm concerned that 13,000 ICE agents have jobs.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

So I spent a lot of time in 2025 reporting on why workers did not really want to embrace AI & a consistent reason was, "It will only mean that I will end up doing more at work."

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and sheโ€™s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

Accountability for ICE and CBP However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is โ€” the reality is far far worse.

"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."
