2/Presumably most #Mastodon #Fediverse servers are too small to bother with directly, so we could be advantaged in that respect. Seems like the #Felon47 #Fascist #Nazis would eventually get to #Bluesky. I'm not sure how #Google could impact #Mastodon #Fediverse users though.I still have a 3 month auto-delete setting, maybe I should tighten that up some... I would assume users of #Facebook #Instagram #Threads are already toast.

"Yesterday we learned that the Department of Justice is monitoring and tracking members of Congress’s searches of the Epstein files. There’s no sugar coating it: the administration is spying on lawmakers as they exercise their constitutional oversight responsibilities."~ Liz Goitein#Trump #StephenMiller #PamBondi #DOJ #Epstein #surveillance /3https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bfdtv7qsq3ippu2vvinp5iqj/post/3meoo7qrgzs2o

ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found that DHS rushed a revamped tool to check voters’ citizenship into use while it was still adding data.As a result, the tool has made persistent mistakes, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.https://www.propublica.org/article/save-voter-citizenship-tool-mistakes-confusion?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#News #Vote #Election #DHS #Texas #Missouri #Data #Law #USPolitics

....blessing us and leading us in prayers for healing-- for ourselves, for the country, and for everyone suffering behind those cursed walls. They also handed out little pink and purple butterflies, each with the name of a person who had died in ICE custody in recent years. We were to put them on a map of the world to appreciate how many countries people come here from, hoping for better, only to encounter this barbarity.Then they read off the names, ages, and countries of origin...

@[email protected] Does mean they are also owed $10 Billion each?

@KimPerales They hire each other as an added layer of 'protection.' If they are all doing it, they won't report each other.

@wdlindsy It is all KKK 2.0

RE: https://mastodon.social/@austinkocher/116041663188868196This guy personally went to the Dilley TX concentration camp to help rescue Liam Conejo Ramos and then escorted Liam and his dad back to Minnesota.Rep Castro gets it. He chooses to live in reality and tell the truth.He swore an oath to defend the Constitution and he is doing it, even putting himself at risk like us protesters by going to that wretched place.This is what Democrats should be doing and some of them are. We'll sort this out in the primaries.#ICE #DHS #FuckICE #AbolishICE

"Homeland security field agents are scouring the social media site Reddit, monitoring the communications of law-abiding Americans critical of the agency.The spying is revealed in a January intelligence bulletin produced by the Border Patrol and leaked to me."~ Ken Klippenstein#Trump #DHS #ICE #surveillance #SurveillanceState #SocialMedia #Reddit /1https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/homeland-security-spies-on-reddit

But the judge heard evidence that agents in #Oregon have arrested people in #immigration sweeps without such warrants or determining escape was likely.That included testimony from one plaintiff, Victor Cruz Gamez, a 56-year-old grandfather who has been in the U.S. since 1999. He told the court he was arrested & held in an immigration detention facility for three weeks despite having a valid work permit & a pending visa application. #law #ICE #CivilRights #Trump

"Johnsonhas just affirmatively said Congress can't add new warrant requirements for federal IMM agents. So he's said thathe'll not mandate officers take masks off & is opposed to warrants for fed officers. Thoseare 2 of the 3 Dem demands. The #DHS CR, if passed today, expires in 10 days.Sounds like a deal is miles away."-J Sherman#Democrats must explain to the public what's at stake & the mandates they're demanding +how they'll rein in #ICE/DHS.#StateViolence #Fascism #Nazis #USPol

@MaryAustinBooks @evoterra So that's where the water hazard will be then

#ICE ~"is using two facial recognition programs in #Minnesota...including one made by the tech company Clearview AI & a newer program, Mobile Fortify."It is also "using cellphone & social media tools to monitor people's online activity & potentially hack into phones." "Agents are tapping into a database, built by the data analytics company Palantir, that combines government & commercial data to identify (people's) realtime locations..."3 of 4🧵#USA #DHS #trump #immigration #1A #privacy

@MaryAustinBooks Looks like another brutal night. This from Alissa starting about a half hour ago.https://kolektiva.social/@alissaazar/115998465551524332

On Friday, I testified in front of Governor J.B. Pritzker’s “Illinois Accountability Commission,” ... I was called as the commission’s expert witness on the history of problems, corruption, and training within CBP and ICE — a story I’ve covered for more than a dozen years ... however bad you think it is, the reality is far far worse. #DHS #CBP #ICE https://www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountability-for-ice-and-cbp

Rep. Joaquin Castro picked up #LiamRamos and his father from the Dilley #Texas #ICE camp where they were wrongly held and escorted them back to #Minneapolis, where they were greeted by Rep. Ilhan Omar.As Gov Tim Walz said, "It shouldn't take a court order to get a toddler out of prison," but Liam and his dad are home. Pressure DOES work.#DHS #FuckICE

@bitchboss @Voline If you don't have an answer, that's fine, but maybe you don't have? To? Yell? At the people actually trying to fgure out the problem?Of the two parties currently active, one of them is at least theoretically influencable. There's nothing wrong with trying, and it doesn't stop you from coming up with better solutions that you can present when you're ready.

Chuck Schumer has made a deal... Let's write it down and remember it.Government stays open, but he PROMISES NO DHS FUNDING unless:1) End roving patrols and tighten rules governing the use of warrants.2) Establish a universal code of conduct governing federal law enforcement officers’ use of force.3) No masks, required body cameras and proper identification.https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5711343-democrats-schumer-immigration-demands-dhs-funding/#Schumer #DHS
