@schumer.senate.gov can we have an end to the summary street executions or will you be satisfied as long as they are captured on body cams
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

This is why I have nothing but contempt for Republicans and will never never forgive anyone who voted for this. You are dead to me.
A terminally ill pedophile president and his psychopathic, racist sadist shadow president are burning the country to the ground and the GOP could end this today but instead are like meh - kid rape, torching the constitution and terrorizing U.S. communities aren’t dealbreakers for us.
Vile.

Do not store your Bitlocker encryption keys on Microsoft's servers if your threat model includes governments or law enforcement. As this article points out, this is the result of a design choice Microsoft made. It didn't have to be this way. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.
