For those who think #BlueSky is a safe alternative to #X and #Meta, and not at all like them, today I learned that, according to #Mozilla, BlueSky is feeding information about its users to ShadowDragon's #SocialNet, a tool used by U.S. Government agencies like #ICE to "fuel mass surveillance".

Seems to me that if you do not agree with the current U.S. Governments efforts to harass immigrants and round up non-whites, even if they are legally in the U.S., then maybe you don't want to support Bluesky after all, and you need to ask yourself what type of people they are for supporting this?

There are more than 200 websites feeding information to the U.S. government.

This is why, with the concerns I have about Mozilla, I still support them, BTW.

For decades, Democratic and Republican administrations have held immigrant families in specialized facilities – and the practice has elicited widespread criticism from pediatricians and mental health experts, and lawsuits from human rights groups.

The family detention system took its lasting shape in 2001, and particularly post-9/11. The Bush administration had wanted to ramp up immigrant detention, and promoted family detention.

The Biden administration suspended family detention in 2021 amid growing reports of sexual harassment and violence, medical neglect and inadequate food. The Trump administration has not only reinstated the practice, but Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, has said the administration would seek to challenge a longstanding settlement that limits the amount of time children can be held in detention.

The Guardian · Trump is jailing immigrant families again. A mother, father and teen tell of ‘anguish on a daily basis’Von Maanvi Singh

Have never been to Florida but once upon a time FAU's Recorded Sound Archive Judaica collection was the top digitised Yiddish music archive, still in the top 5. I for one won't use it anymore and may be petty enough to remove old links to it from blog posts. Fuck 'em.

The Palm Beach Post · FAU partners campus police with ICE, makes foreign students deportation targets | OpinionVon , The Palm Beach Post
#Florida#FAU#ICE

"Sara Hussein hasn't committed a crime. But perhaps she was flagged because she dreamt about it. Whatever the cause, Sara now finds herself incarcerated in the California desert because an algorithm has determined she's an imminent risk. What exactly that risk may be and when and, under what conditions, she might be released, is anybody's guess.

This is the dystopian premise of Laila Lalami's gripping new novel, The Dream Hotel. In this unsettling vision of the future, a company called Dreamcloud makes brain implants that give insomniacs like Sara a better night's rest — while also harvesting valuable data from their dreams.

She is in the process of returning from a conference in London when an elevated risk score — based partly on data taken from her dreams — gets her dinged for retention at LAX.

Lalami sends us down the psychological rabbit hole of what it means to be incarcerated without due process — in a world where your fate is decided by algorithms."

While the abduction and attempts to deport every foreign student who participated in anti-genocide protests on American campuses are all important stories, I'm genuinely surprised Trump's targeting of Rumeysa Ozturk hasn't become a flashpoint in this larger story, the way the Abrego Garcia abduction has in the trafficking migrants to a torture prison in El Salvador scandal.

Frankly, demonizing anti-genocide protestors is a bipartisan sport in the American establishment, but the Ozturk abduction is unique in that she never participated in a protest; the regime is detaining and attempting to deport Ozturk because she wrote an op-ed calling for Tufts University to divest from Israel while it conducts a genocide, and the wrong people noticed. Specifically Canary Mission, a doxing group that specializes in harassing anti-genocide protestors in multiple Pig Empire nations. Soon after the group accused Ozturk of antisemitic activities; again, for writing an op-ed calling on Tufts to divest from Israel, she was snatched off the street by masked ICE agents in a video half the country watched and shared online.

This transcript of a recent interview with one of Ozturk's lawyers touched on the subject of the Trump regime obtaining target lists from an anonymous doxing group with unclear funding, and provides an update on Ozturk's legal fight; which appears to be going about as well as can be expected because all of this is fascist Calvinball bullshit designed to silence dissent and protect a genocide being conducted by an American client state.

“The Doxxing-to-Deportation Pipeline”: Update on Abduction & Jailing of Tufts Student Rümeysa Öztürk

"JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And could you talk about the role of Canary Mission and others like it in, essentially, identifying for the government people that they should be deporting?

MUDASSAR TOPPA: Yeah, and, you know, I think at this point there’s been a clear connection that we can draw — right? — from the doxxing organizations, the pro-Israeli doxxing organizations. And there is a clear doxxing-to-deportation pipeline that’s taking place.

And in Ms. Öztürk’s case, it’s even more apparent, because Ms. Öztürk was not a known organizer or advocate for any cause, really. And Ms. Öztürk’s sole sort of publicly identifiable association to the movement against the genocide and the movement for Palestinian human rights was this co-authored op-ed in her school newspaper that was really just asking the university to respect the wishes and the vote of the student Senate. And, you know, all of the sudden, in February of 2025, almost a year after she’s written — she’s co-written this op-ed, Canary Mission publishes a page on her, doxxing her and alleging that she’s engaged in antisemitic behavior because of this co-authored op-ed. And less than a month later, she’s abducted by ICE.

And so, it’s very chilling that the government seems to be taking their marching orders from these private doxxing organizations with mysterious funding and backing. And I think it underscores why the government’s actions are simply unconscionable."

In an act of profound petulance and cruelty that is very reminiscent of the Bush regime's attempts to silence critics of the War on Terror, Trump's Gestapo has literally doxed Abrego Garcia's family for their father's crime of uh, being wrongfully trafficked to a torture prison in El Salvador by mistake, apparently.

Abrego Garcia Family Flees to Safe House After Trump DHS Posts Home Address on Social Media

"The Trump administration has not only sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a Salvadoran megaprison due to an "administrative error" and so far refused to comply with a U.S. Supreme Court order to facilitate his return to the United States, but also shared on social media the home address of his family in Maryland, forcing them to relocate.

The news that Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, and her children were "moved to a safe house by supporters" after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted to X a 2021 order of protection petition that Vasquez Sura filed but soon abandoned was reported early Tuesday by The Washington Post.

"I don't feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions," said Vasquez Sura. "So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I'm scared for my kids."

At this point we've all heard "the cruelty is the point" enough times that it's become a catchphrase, but I am consistently stunned by the Trump regime's ability to find new and more appalling ways to lower the bar for pettiness and a lack of human decency. There is absolutely no way you're ever going to convince me DHS and the White House didn't just expose Garcia's wife and children to the ire of Trump's white nationalist base on purpose, and I think the lack of comment from the regime makes it clear that I'm right about that.

As I've mentioned before, the problem with nearly every Trump administration authoritarian operation is that they're all a Russian nesting doll of fascist fuckery that start out wrong on the merits, and just get more outrageous and disconnected from reality as the situation evolves. The regime had no legal authority to traffic any of the men it sent to CECOT to a foreign torture prison for what appear to be mostly the civil violation of being in America without documentation; full stop. It doesn't matter if they're in a gang, even though most of them apparently weren't. It doesn't matter if they're guilty of a criminal offense, even though most of them apparently weren't. And it doesn't matter if they were husband of the year, even though every family member that has come forward have all demanded the return of their loved ones. Deportation is a legal process that requires the government to prove they have a valid reason to remove a person from the country, and the defendant gets a chance to argue against that evidence. Whatever happened here, kidnapping brown men with tattoos to then traffic them to a torture prison in El Salvador, they weren't deportations and they weren't legal.

The kidnapping, trafficking and continued detention of Abrego Garcia however is even more outrageous and appalling because the government has already admitted multiple times in court that it was a mistake that never should have happened, even by the twisted fascist logic the regime is using to justify the rest of the "deportations." Now after getting waxed multiple times in court, including a 6-3 fascist high Supreme Court that sits three Trump-appointed judges, and a grotesque attempt to provoke a constitutional crisis over the matter, the regime is petulantly refusing to return Garcia to the United States and seeking retribution for the indignity of being told they can't do this fascist bullshit, by terrorizing Garcia's wife and children.

I'm a prison abolitionist myself, but if we're going to have prisons whether I like them or not, then let me be the first to say Stephen Miller, Karoline Leavitt, and literally all the mutherfuckers in Trump's DHS, should be in fucking prison right now. This is outrageous and the word Nixonian doesn't do the fascist fuckery on display here enough justice.
