Over the past few days we've heard from ppl at Palantir, Google, and elsewhere who are sharing company leaders' responses to, or lack of response to, ICE actions in MN and around the US (see: @makenakelly.bsky.social @mzeff.bsky.social's excellent reporting). We're curious to hear more. Signal us.

The article doesn't name the attorneys representing Meta. It's not illegal, it's not even unethical to defend bad people.
It is, however, immoral to help evil continue unabated. That matters. www.wired.com/story/meta-c...

President currently feuding with a beloved American comedy icon who was murdered 24 hours ago.
Trump doubles down on his Rob Reiner attack: "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person, Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country."
