Great to see this going mainstream

100% -- unfortunate, sad, and entirely predictable

I just keep getting 'Something went wrong while canceling your subscription.' :(

"In a brief ruling issued late Monday, the judge, Patrick J. Schiltz, of Federal District Court in Minnesota, said he recognized that ordering ICE’s acting director, Todd Lyons, to personally defend himself in court was “an extraordinary step.” But Judge Schiltz, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, said it was necessary because “the extent of ICE’s violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary.”"

I appreciate the idea behind this letter, but it just feels so....weak?

"C'mon guys, we're all on the same team here, let's talk it out" /s

I see that as a subset of 1 (power & control thru fear), but yeah, clearly, and obviously not the 'stated' reasons

I really wish there was more transparency around mod actions

fwiw it's been flagged and unflagged four times since I posted. I don't know the algorithm -- but it's been great to see whomever is unflagging understanding the importance and significance of this issue and relevance to hackers everywhere.

ICE being the highest funded U.S. law enforcement agency is so sad, and so fucked

I am quite amazed that the 2nd amendment people seem to be the ones that are cheering on the federal gestapo

"Rights for me, not for thee"

logic would indicate that its either (or both) (1) its not about immigration (it's about power and control thru fear) or (2) they're idiots

The mainstream media is not covering the many daily protests I see in my area, and hear and see from friends and family elsewhere. However, I do think the majority of Americans do not have the luxury (or fear of losing their job, and thus their healthcare, etc) to just walk out on their jobs or responsibilities, and the social safety nets here are limited (and being further cut by this administration).

I do think a general strike is the last chance at a non-violent resistance, but the oligarchs and powerful can weather that storm much more easily than the average American.

It's sad that these posts are now seemingly disappearing from /active in addition to the home page

They are very relevant to the current state of affairs in America, with respect to tech, immigration, startups, and the hacker ethos

some level of systemic intent

It's 100% the intent of this admin to use their secret police to drive fear and terror

is it true if you don't use it, you lose it?

Jassy's only lever for shareholder value. Sad.
