CBP Tapped Into the Online Advertising Ecosystem To Track Peoples' Movements An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations. ICE has bought access to similar tools.

CBP "bought data from the online advertising ecosystem to track peoples' precise movements over time, in a process that often involves siphoning data from ordinary apps like video games, dating services, and fitness trackers."

Complex speculations about Trump's foreign policy miss the point.

On all fronts, at all times, Trump aims to do just one thing: to continuously project strength via violence.

He aims to normalize extrajudicially murdering people so that he can eventually kill *you,* as well, should the need arise.

During the liberation of Dachau and Buchenwald in 1945, many of the camp guards tried to escape by disguising themselves as prisoners or civilians. Newly liberated prisoners recognized several guards immediately, and you can imagine how that ended for them.

I made a similar post on IG, but happy International Working Women's Day.

Albuquerque's Mayor Said Arrests Were "Not the Solution" to Homelessness. Yet Jail Bookings Have Skyrocketed. Under Tim Keller's leadership, the city has increasingly criminalized conduct associated with homelessness, causing a growing number of people on the streets to be arrested and jailed.

"Our city is knowingly saying, 'We won't let you sleep outdoors.'"

"We know there is no place for you to sleep indoors, and we're going to keep arresting you and harassing you for something that is unavoidable and intrinsic to just existing."
