Since Last May, ICE Officers Have Been Told They Don’t Need Warrants To Enter Homes
The thing afforded the highest protections of the Fourth Amendment is a person's home. This isn't even a controversial statement. It has been that way ever since this amendment was ratified. But, under Trump, we're constantly seeing that the administration considers all rights to be privileges -- something only granted to people this administration likes. The Associated Press has obtained a blockbuster leak…

Abolish ICE Before They Kill Again, Impeach Trump & Noem Before They Incite More Murder
Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old award-winning poet, a mother of a six-year-old, and a wife who had recently moved to Minneapolis. That all ended yesterday when a masked ICE agent murdered her in broad daylight, shooting her multiple times at close range in the head. She had stuffed animal toys in the glove box of her SUV that rammed into another car after she’d been killed for no reason at all.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Manuel Chakravarty
In this episode, we talk to Manuel Chakravarty - specifically, his work on the ghc backend such as data-parallel Haskell and the FFI and how that work segued into type system design. We also discussed Manuel's perspective on Haskell from the language design of Swift.

Appeals Court Subtly Lets The Trump Administration Know It’s Just Being Racist By Demanding An End To Birthright Citizenship
It's not enough to go after the "worst of the worst." It was never a sustainable effort, what with migrants committing fewer crimes than natural citizens. The attempt to rid the country of as many non-white people as possible under Trump always had to go bigger. It has become ICE raiding swap meets and Home Depot parking lots because that's where the non-whites are at.

Omg. My app is #3 in the paid AppStore charts in Germany today. #1 in payed education charts. 🤩🤯😱 (It’s a timetable app for vocational students in Lower Saxony, and it’s payed so a bit easier, schools currently start here so that’s why, ranked before but never that high.)
App-Charts payed in Germany. My app (myBBS) is ranking third. Payed charts in Educational apps. 
Screenshot of my apps AppStore listing, I’d love to get better reviews, but alas. A timetable app that costs 99ct and has 3,0 stars. #1 in payed education today.
