In Feb., a group led by Erik Prince, founder of the mercenary firm Blackwater, proposed ICE create a “skip tracing team” of contractors to locate immigrants targeted for deportation.
Great piece by @katyaschwenk.bsky.social on how those plans are developing, plus new info in the quoted thread.

It’s particularly important to note that legislation to limit what kids can do and see online also limits what *everyone* can do and see online, censors broad swaths of the internet, further disempowers marginalized tech users, and allows the fascist government to control what is on the internet

In the cases of queer and trans kids and teens, social media is actually frequently cited as a lifeline to being able to survive in oppressive transphobic and queerphobic communities and cultures. It’s an essential tool of connection, socialization, education, and yes, safety

It’s disturbing and discomforting to examine but there are several anti-phone and anti-social media initiatives weaponizing murders and suicides of teens, leveraging grieving parents, and exaggerating or inventing causation to try and limit speech online and restrict tech freedoms

At least when the united states were afraid of a revolution during the great depression. They allowed FDR to happen. They need to be more afraid of us than ever. They are too comfortable to even listen to or take us seriously. That too must change. Yesterday.

Nevada Democrat senators Cortez Masto and Rosen were the two who joined Schumer to block Adeel Mangi from being seated. They've approved most of trumps cabinet. Now this. The two chip shots usually run unopposed. I'm certain that changes today.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.
