• ICE killed a US citizen in 2025: #RubenRayMartinez, a Trump and police supporter in #Texas.
• The officer claimed a knee injury from allegedly Martinez’s vehicle (a common ruse by border patrol in their extrajudicial killings, according to the Minnesota Renee Good murder investigations).
• The TX grand jury failed to indict.
• The passenger and witness died in a car crash Saturday, but he had sworn in an affidavit that no one had been hit by Martinez.

Hootsuite in #Vancouver #Canada licking the fascist boot. #Surveillance #ux #uspol
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-hootsuite-canada-vancouver-ice-social-media-contract/
"One e-mail sent internally by a Hootsuite sales employee in September, 2025, described the project with ICE as a “Trojan Horse Deal” that could turn into a seven-figure contract. The author mentioned travelling to Washington with “Irina” – Hootsuite’s chief executive officer is Irina Novoselsky – to “brief ICE on how Hootsuite and Talkwalker can support their mission.” (1/2)

This is called “context collapse” and @andrewhinton@jawns.club has written a helpful book about “Understanding Context” when designing systems. https://bookshop.org/p/books/understanding-context-environment-language-and-information-architecture-andrew-hinton/a18c13d67a04f7b2 https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco/115771835783540041

"Vienna researchers retrieved all #WhatsApp numbers. The 3.5 billion profiles represent the largest data leak in history"
"...downloaded all 77 million profile pictures visible to everyone—a proud 3.8 terabytes in total. In a random sample of half a million images drawn from this, a facial recognition routine found a human face in two-thirds of cases."
