"In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.”

Promoting genocide is a bright line. Here is the email I sent to support@1password.com and business@1password.com condemning their donation. I encourage you all to do the same. Full text is in the alt text, to make it easy to copy/paste and adapt to your own message.
To Agile Bits Leadership,
I am a longtime 1Password user. But beyond that, I am an information security professional. In that capacity, I am responsible for convincing literally countless companies to adopt Business and Enterprise plans for their companies and helping them onboard. I haven't bothered to add up exactly how much recurring 1Password revenue I am personally responsible for, but needless to say, it's a lot.
In addition, I am also a desktop Linux user and have used Linux as my primary OS for nearly twenty years. 
I am shocked to see that 1Password has become the first independent corporate sponsor of Omarchy, a Linux distribution created by a man who openly supports genocide of ethnic minorities: David Heinemeier Hansson.
I am also appalled to see that 1Password has responded to other people who share my concern by trying to draw a meaningless distinction between the Omacom Foundation and David Heinemeier Hansson. There is no way to support Omacom without tacitly condoning the reprehensible behavior of its founder. The statement "1Password does not endorse hateful, dehumanizing, or exclusionary views" is completely at odds with the fact that 1Password has pledged $300,000 to a foundation controlled by a man who openly calls for repeating a genocide previously enacted by Adolf Hitler himself. 
I am mortified that I am responsible for driving revenue to Agile Bits only for the company to turn around and spend that money in such an odious way. If Agile Bits is truly committed to its stated values of "not endorsing hateful, dehumanizing, or exclusionary views, the company must rescind its deal with the Omacom Foundation, refuse to pay the remaining $200,000, and claw back the $100,000 already paid.
Unless Agile Bits reverses course on this funding, I will not in good conscience be able to continue recommending 1Password professionally, or to use it personally. 
Genocide is a bright line, and it is imperative that we all stand on the correct side of that line.

Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It's completely ridiculous and they've gradually become very slow at handling requests. They're in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.

The Trump administration finalized a repeal of decades-old regulation that said habitat destruction was a form of harm to endangered species. Overturning the law could allow for mining, ranching and other development to expand into previously protected areas.

Trump rule says habitat destruction does not harm endangered species
A new rule rescinds the definition of what it means to “harm” a plant or animal under the Endangered Species Act and could lead to more habitat destruction.

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

The legal arguments for Trump's birthright citizenship executive order are vapid and embarrassing. Multiple lower court judges legit laughed DOJ lawyers out of the room. The fact that four Supreme Court justices twisted themselves into logical pretzels to buy it is a constitutional emergency.
