NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

it defaults to married people, not women, who are the target subject of disenfranchisement because they reliably vote further left than men do. mentioning gender specifically is important.

it is an interesting, novel thing! idk why you expect a bunch of technical people to not get a little obsessed with the cool new thing.

(also there aren't really any best practices yet, so there's a lot of faffing around to see what works)

When the government crows about how many people they get to agree to “self deport,” remember where and how long and under what conditions many of those people are being locked up before signing whatever papers might get them out of there.
Migrants face dire conditions and prolonged waits in U.S. detention centers
The number of people in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention has topped 70,000 for the first time.

Can cheese conduct electricity? Apparently so.

Student: We are both thick
