Did you know that #ICE uses heat and utility records to find and deport people? Maybe you think that's okay because it's not YOUR data.

"What he did is totally unacceptable in the state of Florida," Mr DeSantis said. "We are not going to let people be targeted based on their race." To the contrary, it is clearly acceptable in the state that acquitted George Zimmerman, a farcical version of Black history is enforced, LGBTQ rights are dismantled, no gun reforms followed Parkland, and stand your ground is upheld. What do they think they’re incentivizing?
I love how this new paper about #OpenAI says the quiet part loud-- repeatedly. Thanks to @npub1ynlz...873s and @npub1qlel...pqjq and #SarahMyersWest
