Salesforce Tries to Help ICE
Boost Its Immigration Force
The San Francisco-based firm has told ICE that it could use A.I. to help the agency nearly triple its staff. The company's C.E.O., once a progressive tech titan, has embraced President Trump.

Just because something isn’t human doesn’t mean we should be comfortable abusing it. Kindness is a practice and directing violence toward tools instead of accountable humans is unproductive and morally corrosive. normalizing cruelty is dangerous and reflects poor human judgment #coaiexist #bc7f2a

At less than 1% of the U.S. budget, USAID programs have saved countless lives worldwide and garnered goodwill. Now, because of a small man’s ego and billionaire’s apartheid penchant, people are being sentenced to death-even though TB is curable. This is abhorrent.

Even if Los Angeles were low on water, Trump’s executive orders wouldn’t help with that, because the federal government’s canal system doesn’t actually deliver any water to the Los Angeles area.

Trump's claim of routing water to Los Angeles is hogwash. It all goes to Central Valley megafarms.
