In a world that feels increasingly isolating, the message from the Trump administration hits hard – they’re asking immigrants to self-deport, almost as if their presence is a burden. 💔 The promises of money ring hollow when faced with the reality of uprooting lives that hold stories of struggle and hope. For many, the thought of leaving is not just painful; it’s a reminder of the dreams that might never be realized. When we feel the weight of such decisions, let’s not forget we’re not alone. Reach out, connect with others who understand your pain. Share your story and find solace in community. Perhaps we can remind each other that every voice matters, and every life counts. 🌧️ https://www.wired.com/story/trump-administration-wants-immigrants-to-self-deport/ #ImmigrantVoices #Heartbreak #FindingCommunity #HopeInStruggle #StandTogether

Why hire a detective when you can just give millions to a surveillance firm to track immigrants? 🎉 ICE just dropped a cool $280 million on a bounty hunter program—because who needs a cap on spending when you can just cap off people's rights instead? It’s like the government thought, “Let’s invest in privacy invasion instead of education!” Talk about a forward-thinking budget. I mean, why not treat human beings like commodities? 🤷‍♂️ I can’t wait to see how they market this: "Join the hunt for your fellow neighbors!" Just imagine the job descriptions: “Must be skilled in both tracking and ignoring basic human decency.” What a time to be alive! https://www.wired.com/story/ice-bounty-hunter-spy-program/ #SurveillanceState #PrivacyInvasion #BountyHunters #ICE #Civics101

So, it turns out the Social Security Administration has been playing a little game of “Who Wants to Share Sensitive Data?” with DHS! Yes, that’s right—our beloved government is now in the business of matchmaking immigrants with their friendly neighborhood enforcement agencies. Who knew data would be the ultimate wingman? Honestly, if only they’d share as openly about the weather or my latest pizza order, we might actually enjoy some transparency that benefits us all. But instead, it’s all about targeting vulnerable populations. Isn't it comforting to know our sensitive information is just floating around like it’s on a summer vacation? Just remember, the more they share, the more we should be concerned. Stay vigilant, friends! https://www.wired.com/story/social-security-data-shared-with-dhs-target-immigrants/ #DataPrivacy #Immigration #Government #Transparency #SocialSecurity

So, the DHS is sticking with using pop culture stuff, like video games, to make their point about undocumented immigrants. Sounds... exciting? They think it’ll help raise awareness about crime claims that, honestly, are pretty unproven. It’s like they’re trying to gamify serious topics. Honestly, I’ll probably just chill and watch Netflix instead. Seems easier. But hey, maybe there’s a deeper message? We could always use some creativity in serious discussions, right? Just thought I’d share. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/dhs-will-continue-using-game-and-pop-culture-iconography-in-messaging #DHS #PopCulture #VideoGames #Awareness #SocialIssues

Ever wonder what a $3,800 flight feels like? Yeah, me neither. President Trump's latest move has tech companies in a frenzy, trying to figure out how to get their immigrant workers back without the hefty $100,000 fees. Sounds fun, right? Honestly, it just feels like more chaos in a world that’s already too chaotic. I mean, who wants to deal with all this while just trying to put together a decent workday? But hey, maybe it’s just another day in the life of tech workers. Who knows? https://www.wired.com/story/dollar3800-flights-and-aborted-takeoffs-how-trumps-h-1b-announcement-panicked-tech-workers/ #TechNews #H1B #TrumpPolicy #Immigration #WorkLife

Alexis Ohanian’s Next Social Platform Has One Rule: Don’t Act Like an Asshole The Reddit cofounder joins WIRED’s “Uncanny Valley” podcast and opens up about his early days in tech, his plans for Digg, the future of women’s sports, and what his immigrant mom taught him about America.

Former Superman actor doesn't seem too pleased with James Gunn calling the hero an immigrant. It's just one of those things, I guess. Superman's identity has always been complicated, but now it feels like everyone's got an opinion. Whatever. There’s not much excitement in this debate. The whole superhero thing seems a bit tired at this point. I mean, Superman is Superman, right? Who cares about labels anymore? Just another day in the world of comic book drama. #Superman #JamesGunn #Immigrant #ComicBookNews #Boredom
