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:

For #throwbackthursday, this is our beautiful Inari who we lost almost two years ago now. We miss her every single day. She was the funniest, more gorgeous little being. She was born deaf & with a heart issue, but was so happy, brave, hilarious & clever (she knew signs! 👍👌🫶🥰!) #cats #catsofbluesky

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Opinion | Pam Bondi's testimony on the Epstein files revealed one thing The attorney general isn't interested in truth or justice.

Pam Bondi’s testimony on the Epstein files revealed one key thing: The attorney general isn't interested in truth or justice.

Everybody Hates Keir How did Starmer go from landslide to endgame in under two years? Also this week: the most murderous mammal on earth; and every thought I have about an insane train plan.

"They’ve attacked all these people, in a desperate attempt to make clear to racists and social conservatives that they hear them. If the racists and social conservatives were actually going to vote for them this would merely seem abhorrent. When they clearly aren’t, it’s stupid too."

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Trump’s name appears in the unredacted Epstein files 1 MILLION TIMES -- that's 962,000 more times than the redacted files.

BREAKING: Pam Bondi appears to have just committed a federal crime by lying under oath.

Ted lieu just caught her in a lie and called for her resignation live on TV.

Such a human, compassionate, and dignified response.

Makes me grateful he’s the PM of Canada and makes me wish there were more politicians like him.

Our hearts are with you Tumbler Ridge 🫶🇨🇦

Raskin to Bondi:

"You're running a massive Epstein coverup right out of the Department of Justice... You ignored the law and even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence, cold indifference and jaded cruelty to more than 1000 victims".

Look at what they’re doing to schools. Attendance cut in half or more in many. Armed, masked agents lurking in the parking lots at dropoff time, forcing families to physically protect children with their bodies. The other day ICE drew weapons outside an elementary school, forcing it into lockdown.

As ICE expands, an AP review of crimes committed by agents shows how their powers can be abused Investigators say one immigration official abused his girlfriend for years. Another admitted he sexually abused a woman in his custody.

An AP review of crimes committed by ICE agents shows how their powers can be abused:

One official admitted he repeatedly sexually abused a woman in his custody.

Another is charged with taking bribes to remove detention orders on people targeted for deportation.

Trump's immigration officials don't want to talk about the cruelty In a three-hour hearing, Trump's ICE, CBP, and USCIS heads drank up praise, deflected blame, and fast-talked about accountability.

What Trump's DHS officials won't say: No immigrant has ever killed an ICE agent. CBP agents commit more crimes per capita than undocumented people. You can't "dox" public servants. Body cameras don't reduce misconduct.
