one of the things i want people to understand is that the people ICE is targeting who you think should be "safe" are already vulnerable to this kind of treatment from the state in all of its guises. think kids who are citizens shouldn't be treated like this? got bad news for you about foster care.
"ICE is grabbing people from the streets who aren't even undocumented or don't have criminal records at all" babe i don't think there is a group of people ICE should be grabbing people off the streets in the first place

The same reason that, historically, machines used by women in the home were called “appliances” and seen as mere tools, whereas machines typically used by men were endowed with the more scientific term “technology,” which also implied a degree of knowledge & mastery.
Why does "entrepreneur" mean "a man who takes VC cash to make vaporware and then lay everybody off" and not "the woman selling homemade papusas in a pop-up tent at the bottom of my street"?

I cannot express how important it is for anyone going through a secured checkpoint like TSA to make sure thier phone is in BFU (Before First Unlock) mode. To enter this state: reboot your phone and don't unlock it.
In BFU mode all data is encrypted and your phone requires a passcode to unlock.

I was just asked for my phone (to swipe the outside for whatever) for the 1st time during a “random” TSA extra screening for a domestic flight - i told them i didn’t consent to a search of the phone, made sure there were no notifications visible & it was locked and didn’t let it out of my sight…
