Good question I don't have the answer to. I could speculate that this is all likely being sourced from some sort of marketing material that ShadowDragon put out where they just flatly say they're gathering this information from Tesseract, and in reality they're actually gathering any information they can on users who search for this software and download this software, but like I said I'm speculating.
If you're really interested, I would say you should email the author of this article, reach out to Tesseract's development team, or find a way to get a subpoena against ShadowDragon and/or ICE
"Using my own time for work stuff is unacceptable to me, and I am prepared to quit this job and get a different one that doesn't ask me to work off the clock if you press this matter."
Don't try to reason them into accepting your way of thinking, just state your position and what you're willing to do to pursue it
Incidentally, if "I am prepared to quit this job" does not currently apply to you, you should not be having this conversation.
e; partial_acumen had a way better answer
“Using my own time for work stuff is unacceptable to me. It was not enumerated in the job listing when I was hired that off-clock unpaid work was required to keep this job andI am prepared to quit this job and get a different one that doesn’t ask me to work off the clock if you press this matterif the company terminates me for refusing to work unpaid off the clock I'd be happy to raise that with the Department of Labor for a case of wage theft.”
e2; this is all assuming you're ok with losing this job and waiting through a lawsuit and several years to get what you're owed by this employer
If he needs an excuse to do something he will always just manufacture one, so worrying about some action against him giving him that excuse is pointless and will only serve to hamstring any resistance to him. It's time to throw everything at the wall until enough sticks to tear it down.
They already routinely pretend that anyone who crosses a border is a criminal in their rhetoric and will find a random bullshit misdemeanor something in 99/100 cases where they want to, but, yeah, this would give them another way to do that.
I struggled a bit with laughing at this one because there is a real sinister intent here (thank you for highlighting it btw), but it is also just such smooth brained fascist behavior that I couldn't help myself.
This is what Kristi Noem, a racist sociopathic puppy murderer who lies easy as breathing, says is the advantage. Beyond the fact that she made mouth noises that sounded like those words there is no informational value to be found in any of her statements.
The appropriate punishment for corruption is not a face smashing, it's seizure of assets and a prison sentence. Also, there are degrees of culpability, and profiting off a failing system you occasionally make half hearted statements about fixing is less bad than actually trying to make it fail.
Lastly, just on a realpolitik level, at this moment fighting against fascism will be easier with Pelosi and Pelosi-like people in our coalition instead of out of it.
We protested against police brutality in 2020 and lots of Dems couldn't throw us to the wolves fast enough. Lots of those protesters got their own faces smashed in by cops' batons and rubber bullets in 2020, and Democratic party leadership turned around and argued for giving cops more funding.
I'm sorry for what happened to Pelosi's husband, it wasn't right and he didn't deserve it, but we're all living in the violent and scary world the bipartisanship of moderates like Pelosi has built. Being a better opposition party mean fewer of our people's faces getting smashed, whether they're the wealthy spouses of lawmakers or random political activists.
Yeah, plus a lot of people in the Democratic party are more comfortable going after Ilhan Omar and protesting college students than their Republican friends, so the counter messaging has been totally incoherent and confused and that's gotta be helping Trump's poll numbers a bit
The time Trump would have had to spend on that would have limited the harm he will be able to do, it is up to all of us to resist this fascist crap at every step and the Biden administration routinely failed us in that regard
e; Also, the fact that it took some independent journalists to uncover this and none of the thousands of different investigators at different agencies that interact with or oversee ICE that my federal tax dollars pay for is a disgrace. This person should and could have been fired a long time ago.
We have had and currently have some incredible authors artists and musicians who make beautiful and brilliant things that reflect the spirit of the average American far better than the handful monsters who have power over us
That's not to say other countries don't also have fascinating and ingenious creators and cultures too, just saying that ours are the thing I like most about my country
Pretending they care is step one of doing something, step two is blaming liberal bureaucrats for the problem, step three is pretending they solved the problem or repeating step two depending on whether the constituent phone call is happy or angry
"I'm trying to figure out what leverage we actually have," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said at a press briefing this month.
It is wild to see him just stand up there and admit he's got no ideas for how to deal with this situation that he's known was coming since November (and should have known was coming since the convention over the summer). Like, even if he believes there's literally nothing he can do, just straight up admitting he's useless and implicitly telling everyone to look somewhere else for resistance is an awful way to rally out supporters and keep people engaged, which is exactly what we need to be doing right now.
We've got more important things to tell people right now about things Congress and the White House are going to be attempting soon, but eventually we also really need to be connecting with Jeffries' voters and making sure they understand that this blank check for Republicans is what they voted for when they supported him in primary votes and helping them understand that the country really can't afford this kind of lazy incompetence right now.
