A ten year old girl recovering from brain cancer was deported to Mexico and prevented from attending her necessary follow up appointment
She was a U.S. citizen, but it didn’t matter.
The cruelty is the point.
I hope this sweet kiddo can access the care she needs to make a full recovery, and shame on those ICE agents who thought this was “ok”
This is why we speak out. Unspeakable horrors are happening all around us and if we stay silent, it will change us.
Don’t stay silent. Resist.
@404mediaco has obtained a list of sites and services monitored by an ICE contractor ShadowDragon to let government analysts search and draw connections between people.
"The long list of sites and services that ShadowDragon’s SocialNet tool accesses is a reminder of just how much data is accessible and collected from and about us to provide surveillance services to the government and others."

More US detentions - more reasons for non US folks to get out and stay out

When I saw the headline "ICE arrests owners of South Jersey restaurant" my first thought was: finally they're going after the exploitive employers and not the immigrant victims.
NOPE.
Today ICE arrested the well-loved neighborhood immigrant couple who owned and operated the kebab shop and have been waiting on their residency papers for nine years.

"The story of Carlos is an example of how immigrants — some without legal status, others with legal protections — are being caught up in President Donald Trump's promises of mass arrests and deportations, despite not having a criminal record."

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) can see all of the web sites you visit.
Even if you visit a site that uses HTTPS, your ISP can see which site you visited (even if they cant see what specific data or web pages you went to).
Using Tor hides even which domains you visit. It's not a silver bullet (your ISP can see you went into the Tor network but cant see past that) but it can fit a specific threat model.
Using the operating system Tails - a version of Linux that pushes everything through Tor and doesnt save anything to your hard drive - can be a wonderful tool.
@Em0nM4stodon has written a comprehensive guide on what Tails is, how to use it and how not to use it.
Really great stuff and I can't wait to read the articles to come!

Good morning.
Apologies for the vivid imagery this early in the morning, but I figured we could all use a pick me up.
What a world that this is, indeed, good news.

Hi, if you're in #Chicago and you or anyone know you is at risk for #Deportation, the group Organized Communities Against Deportation has a hotline where you can report #ICE raids or other bullshit.
I am NOT a lawyer.
But welcome to Fuck ICE Mondays.
Part 1:
🔸️ICE at your house: DONT let them in until forced.
ICE can enter your home in three situations: (1) if they have a warrant; or (2) if you give them permission; or (3) they think there is presently a crime being committed in your home.
If ICE comes to your home, you should ask to see a warrant.* ICE must show you the warrant.
If the officials do not have a warrant, you do not have to let them in or speak to them at all. However, if you give them permission to come in, then they can legally enter your home and search it.
The right to remain silent
* DO NOT let them in. Ask for a signed warrant and the identity of the signing party. ICE *will* fake this shit. If it isnt a judge, its meaningless.
🔸️#STFUFridays applies. Do not talk. Whether ICE comes to your house and knocks on your door, enters your workplace, or even questions you in jail, you have the right to remain silent.
In other words, you do not have to provide your citizenship information to Immigration Service officials. You can just indicate that you do not want to speak to them.
🔸️Right to an attorney applies:
Immigration law is very complicated. You may have a problem without realizing it. A lawyer can protect your rights, advise you, and help you avoid giving answers that might hurt you. If the Immigration Service asks anything about your political and religious beliefs, groups you belong to or contribute to, things you have said, where you have traveled or other questions that do not seem right, you do not have to answer them.
These are fundamental rights that apply to everyone inside the United States. Remember that you cannot be arrested for asserting your rights.

On Friday, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren addressed these concerns during a broadcast on the tribal radio station KTNN. He reported receiving troubling accounts of Navajo citizens experiencing “negative and sometimes traumatizing encounters” with federal agents targeting undocumented individuals in the Southwest.

After a week of freezing temperatures, the ice in the basin is 4 centimeters (1½ inches) thick.
I was able to crack it by stomping on it hard, a few times. Then I lifted a huge plank of the broken ice and smashed it against the dock to free one of my ropes that had frozen in.
No particular reason, just … I hadn't realised that the end of a rope had blown off my roof and had been dangling in the water. It belongs on my roof.

Philadelphia's sanctuary policies disrupt #ICE's deportation pipeline, but federal immigration officers can still carry out deportations in the city. A law professor explains why living in a #sanctuarycity doesn't guarantee protection from ICE. https://theconversation.com/yes-philadelphia-is-a-sanctuary-city-but-that-offers-undocumented-immigrants-little-protection-from-mass-deportations-245129 #immigration #polisky
"In 2022, an international team of scientists led by Wåhlin lowered an unmanned submersible underneath 350m (1,150ft) thick Antarctic ice. For 27 days, it travelled over 1,000km (621miles) back and forth under the Dotson Ice Shelf in West Antarctica, scanning the ice above it with an advanced sonar. The result was the very first map of the underside of an ice shelf – and the discovery of an otherworldly ice-scape."

every now and then, I look at this graph, and think about how, for decades, from 1979 until the boreal fall, or austral spring, of 2016, antarctic sea ice just seemed to ignore global warming, showing no trend. Then, suddenly, as the end of 2016 and the southern hemisphere summer approached, *clunk* antarctic sea ice fell down, and did not get up.

ICE/DHS made a fake college and charged over 600 students $11k annually to attend. Then one day ICE arrested 250 of their classmates and shutdown the school.
Leaving hundreds of legal residents who were enrolled with no real degree, no class credits and all without any warning or apology.
They have been fighting in court for years just to get paid back. They won a minor procedural victory recently.

I'd just like to interject for a moment.
What you’re referring to as #GitHub, is in fact, Microsoft® GitHub, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, those bastards who still support #ICE.
GitHub is not a system of oppression unto itself, but rather another controlled component of a fully oppressive capitalist system made useful by tireless lobbying, shell companies and rotting essential infrastructure comprising a fully oppressive system as envisioned by our glorious leader, AYN RAND.
I had a great day in the mountains yesterday! Leaving the trailhead at dawn, I was able to spend the entire day enjoying the snowy wilderness all the way to the summit and back. Great snow/trail conditions above a certain elevation allowing #snowshoeing between there and the summit. A clear sunny day with great views from the top.
