ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff before admitting they had no warrant to be there. This is state violence. This is terror. And this is what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

The reason we don’t sell H200, and other advanced chips to China is that they have dual-use (military and civilian) capability.

These will help China improve their AI, surveillance, and cyber espionage capability.

The export controls existed strictly for NatSec purposes.

This is one way businesses can support the Constitutional rights & lives of people in America-by not making it easy for DHS (ICE, BP) to trample those rights and lives. I love this so much, I will go to this business & spend some money soon.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.
