Corporate commitments are not “a sufficient alternative to enforcement of international law and domestic laws designed to prevent companies from monitoring individuals and committing human rights violations,” EFF’s @prilkit told In These Times. https://inthesetimes.com/article/ice-deportation-machine-surveillance-artificial-intelligence-thomson-reuters-clear-trump

I appreciate the rationale behind encouraging humor and whimsy at #NoKings protests tomorrow. Nobody wants to give Trump regime or counter-protesters any excuse for going violent. But I will still be bringing my anger, my disgust, and my horror at the regime and all those who have enabled it and are continuing to enable it. As a woman, I am especially put off by demands that I make my wholly warranted fury more palatable by cloaking it in humor.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the spokespeople for the White House, the office of the President of the United States:

Trump is meeting Putin in Hungary. When asked who suggested Budapest, ‘White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”’

Stand out.

So...this is definitely happening with #ICE, right? That's why they won't show faces or give information. They've contracted out to militias and #ProudBoys
