I’m old enough to remember when government requests to tech companies were considered by conservatives to be the worst form of censorship ever.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Former ICE director John Sandweg says the ways in which Holman is conducting operations is totally unprecedented for the agency and clearly appears calculated to be needlessly violent and provocative. It's as if they want a show of mayhem, he offers. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

‘Those Rules Are Gone’: How ICE Is Rethinking its Raids

ICE used to arrest the “worst first.” Under the new Trump administration, the agency is following a different playbook, says a former ICE chief.

I have a HUGE problem with raising costs on Americans. That’s why I’m fighting to make sure critical health care tax breaks aren’t ripped away from working families.

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

From city streets to rural crossroads, a movement is rising: millions strong, peaceful but unyielding.

We’re the people who still believe in dignity, fairness, and freedom.

No Thrones.
No Crowns.
No Kings.
Just us, We the People, refusing to bow.

Show up if you can.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Netanyahu refuses to release Marwan Barghouti, the most popular Palestinian leader—and the one most likely to bring about a two-state solution. Hamas refuses to disarm. The two enemies are united in opposition to a two-state solution. That makes lasting peace unlikely. wapo.st/3W5yhAx

“A new Middle East” will require sacrifices that Israelis and Palestinians show no sign of making.
