Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵

If you care about what's happening in Venezuela, stop driving. Stop buying gas. Fuck cars and support public transportation in your city. That's how you fight fascism.

Regardless of what civil infractions anyone commits, they’re still people entitled to protections under the bill of rights. Please refrain from using such dehumanizing language in the future, it is not only harmful but factually incorrect and weakens your argument.

AI startup Friend spent more than $1M on all those subway ads | TechCrunch If you’ve been on the New York subway recently, you’ve probably seen stark white ads promoting a wearable AI device called Friend.

A reminder that anything recorded on a device like this AI "friend" could be used against you — by hackers, private companies, or the government.

This technology isn't a friend, it's surveillance.

Buffalo Soldier - Wikipedia

Native communities are numerous and diverse, we are not a monolith. The Buffalo soldiers were sent to antagonize communities in the Southwest & Plains, who had zero to do with the 5 Southern Tribes or chattel slavery. The campaigns were about settler colonialism/empire expansion, not racial justice
