We scoured social media, court records and local stories for instances of immigration agents holding citizens against their will. The administration doesn’t track these cases. So we have. We’re sharing our database with you.

The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administrati...

I'm retired. I admit to missing some of the ways work gave me a chance to use my head. But for much of the population, I think talking about the dignity of work is really about the dignity of having a paycheck and money for your life. Lottery winners don't lose their dignity by not working.

Trump traded GEO Group and CoreCivic stocks, two private prison corporations, nearly 30 times in 2025. GEO Group’s profits increased by 700% that year and CoreCivic raked in $650 million in ICE contracts — both benefiting Trump’s stock portfolio. Cashing in on his own cruelty.

It is not only immoral to send people back to unsafe countries experiencing war, famine, and devastation –– it will hurt communities across this country. Haitian workers are integral to the home healthcare industry. The consequences of deporting them would be huge.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the
