ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

Shameful racism - we’re regressing, it’s sickening. We need strong words from Burnham condemning the far-right & zero tolerance of all forms of racism. Far too much blatant Islamophobia atm.

Ahmed with his face, torso and arm skin covered with red sores is crying in the arms of his older sister.

🚨 Ahmed is losing his fight. A deadly virus is destroying his tiny body. His fever rises, painful sores cover his skin, he can barely breathe, cannot eat or sleep, cries in terrible pain, and grows weaker every hour. Please save my little boy before it is too late. !!💔🙏 chuffed.org/project/1905...

Reminder to recruiters: stop trying to recruit me to do my same job at a different company. I will only be taking interviews for a job where I just pet different types of dogs.
