It should be obvious that criticizing ICE—or any government agency—on social media is protected by the First Amendment.
It is not a crime.
Tech companies must not comply with sweeping government demands that seek to unmask users simply for expressing their opinions online.

ICE conducts daylight executions of civilians and uses children as bait, they are decades beyond reformable.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

This is wrong. Clearly he looks out for the kids. This man was wronged and he should be given his job back and, at minimum, a sincere apology.
“Me being the closest adult and trying to prevent other students from jumping the gate, I opened the gate for them,” said former U.S. History teacher, Ricardo Lopez. “Within an hour, I was let go.”

The *vast majority* of people who work at Meta today are people who willingly chose to work at the company after it directly enabled a genocide, according to multiple independent global human rights organizations, including Amnesty International. It is a warehouse for psychopaths.
This company is so uniquely toxic and awful.
Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."
