Its nights like this that I sit around writing up and thinking of next steps that I pull out the @NormEisen candle :) For those who are out there fighting the fight, we salute you... :)

I had really wanted to get out there to the @cursor_ai meetup. Stuck here trying for the resistance... That said @cursor_ai and @elevenlabs have been vital in standing this up. Even made a little @OpenAI #Sora video for it.
20
Since @DHSgov @VP are all about making #sora @OpenAI videos - thought I’d see how we could use it to exercise our rights. Lmk what you think @EdKrassen @MeidasTouch @briantylercohen @marceelias @gtconway3d

I think the term #VibeCoding really overlooks the power things like @cursor_ai has done. I argue its much more than this. Tools like this not only can serve as the best slingshot againt Goliath - but also level the playing field for soo many communities.. #resistancecoding

Damn man... how I wish I were heading there... #Cursor has been the game changer in all of this..

Big thanks to @anthonyLfisher of @MSNBC for the article on @Apple taking down #ICE #immigrant resource apps. Now the administration pulls #facebook groups and @JDVance @AGPamBondi and @DHSgov want to stop “Left Wing Violence” . It’s about accountability #FirstAmendment

Omg... I thought i was crazy for this. Literally bought this mouse and desk cause I got tired of sitting at the desk. Configured BetterTouchTool on the mac to trigger dictation, another button to hit esc and enter, then accept changes.

How watching Peter Gabriel @witnessorg work shaped my hope to hold #ICE accountable at this moment in time. With everything ratcheting up in #Portland, #Chicago and US wide - it’s important we push back. @GovPritzker @JBPritzker doing what they can. We need to step up too.

When i launched #Windbreaker - free #ice resource app for Chicago if any org or @GovPritzker would take it, folks asked if I would make one for #Portland . Challenge accepted. Any orgs or @PortlandGov @portlandtribune want it - just promise to help #Immigrants #Resist

Hey @jonfavs - I think these folks count on fragmented pushback. Hence the removal of ICE apps from Apple (Mine got hit over weekend - but we can install on web.). Trust is an issue tho. So, made a free one focused on chicago to give to orgs. Trying for any movement to resist. Would love to hear your thoughts or whom to get it to. @mehdirhasan thoughts as well...

Ones and twos are trying to push back over here. Trying to see if we can get some form of coordinated response. Dont care who owns it at this pont.

Hey Mike - saw your post. Trying to see if you may know of an org that would do this. Its all finished - I would rather give it away if someone could do something to help. Its so heartbreaking.

@chicagotribune If you know any org that would want to take this on. We need a whole of community way to help against #ICE.

Just posted this. Its fully ready. Happy to turn it over to any org you think can make a whole of city/state approach here...

With DOJ pulling #ice apps from the app stores & on a full blitz, I made #Windbreaker - a Chicago version of #deicer app. If you know an org or gov entity @GovPritzker that would want it, I will turn it over for free. Just do -something- #immigrants #KnowYourRights

I dont want to waste a shot, but lord id love to get @NormEisen or @marceelias to look at this. Its just a sad state of affairs we're in. ICE now gets to be part of a protected class. Thanks @tim_cook @Apple

Yesterday the gov reached out to Apple and took down DEICER as well as other ICE apps. While disheartened at Apples capitulation, I was prepared for this. Here's how you can install the app on your phone -without- the app store. It's up to us to protect our rights. #DEICER

Looks like #ICE got to @Apple and had them take down the app because it can harm a specific group. Wonder how @waze is able to do it. @NormEisen - thoughts?

Con #ICE operando en #Portland y #Chicago, quise crear una manera para que la gente ayude a informar a las comunidades de #Inmigrantes con información oportuna que les permita tomar sus propias decisiones. Usando #DEICER

When I got the @Ford #f150lightning I wanted to make sure that it really was a production office for me. Coding inside of it monitor on the outside video gear in the back. But the dumb little nerdy things excite me the most like - #Coffee.

@ElevenLabsDevs @thorwebdev - So I am trying to create a training seminar using images and slides. Selected learning and development and told it I wanted to present a slideshow. The advanced prompt asks to reference a series of tools..

With the administration launching Operation Midway Blitz in #chicago with #ICE - wanted to share some updates on DEICER. Please share with everyone. We need to find a way to get a coordinated response here. Thx @JBPritzker

A friend of mine asked me to make him a computer table for his @Ford #f150lightning like mine. It turned out pretty good a cool conversation piece at the next roadside charge.

#ICE told us what they are going to do. @GovPritzker @JBPritzker @j_alexgough asked for help. Share it out, especially for folks in #Chicago. We need some defense here.... #KnowYourRights

From the folks who's hiring these guys. Its a bit rich..
To call for beheading officers is unhinged behavior.
The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line every day to arrest violent criminal illegal aliens. Politicians and activists must turn the temperature down and tone down their rhetoric.

Thank you @JBPritzker for your hard work on this. Literally pulled the car over to add some features to try to help in Chicago w #DEICER. Adding video uploads to the tool, & Military Pin watching, and Comms. LMK if this can help folks...

A quick share of the other features in #DEICER. More than #ICE detection - it’s a civic rights toolkit. The #AI parts of it learn from @ACLU @splcenter @CHIRLA @LULAC . Just trying to start a nationwide awareness movement. Cc : @maddow @CNN @JohnBerman

About 100 #ICE agents around 100 N Central, Los Angeles, CA. Just sent out background alerts via #DEICER as a courtesy for the @IceOutOfLA folks. Anything else I can do - lmk.

We need have another way to counter #ice #knowyourrights protests and red cards. The administration is moving to bigger responses. We need to make a more mobilized national effort. Let’s at least try. #deicer

His organization Democrqcy Defenders Fund– is taking it straight to Trump in the courts. They’re not just talking about defending democracy. They’re in the fight every day.

Meeting Your Heroes 🧵
I’m not naïve enough to think creating a community resource for immigrant rights & #ICE notifications won’t come without consequences. Every morning I stretch my hamstrings in case I’m thrown in some Gulag for trying.

Imagine if we got millions of folks out there to be the eyes and ears for a community that can't.
That's what I hope to do. To have one less person affected. Help me start to resist. #deicer #ice #knowyourrights

You are absolutely correct. Start with checking your own house @DHSgov - Isnt this your guy?
Arrest child sex predators.
Save American children.

When school starts, our students may be impacted by #ICE activity.
Some universities formed mutual defense compacts — I wanted to help.
DEICER now lets you search your campus for rights info + alerts.

been years since I’ve been out to #losangeles . Heading out there Monday for a few days to do a video shoot. Hoping to visit old haunts see if I can catch some work being done by the #LA rights groups. May get lucky to see @lataco @uniondelbarrio @50501movement or @ice_out_ofla .

My biggest hope is that we get a coordinated mobilized effort similar to the #nokings #Immigrants #Protest . With all of the #ICE increases. We do have power. We just need to come together.

I got word that DEICER, my #Immigrants rights app with #ice notifications is out on iOS and Android. This has been a long haul since February, but excited to get it out to try to help #knowyourrights . Help me spread the word. If you can help - deicer.org

Just saw the news on @OzzyOsbourne . Just a legend. There are TONS of songs that celebrate his artistry, but I cant help but play and be sad listening to him and @litaford in "Close My Eyes Forever". Rest in Peace , Dark Prince. :(

Headed to the @teamaoc @aoc @repaoc @reppaultonko event in #plattsburgh . driving up from Syracuse and just camping in the truck they’re like “isn’t that uncomfortable “ I’m like “nope “ #coffee #f150lightning #ftw I’ll probably be charging phones all over the place

Aside from being #F150 & being electric- Biggest goal was to lean into #F150Lightning as a vehicle I could all of my creative work in. Photo/Video Production / AI work. Now I spend hours in it because it contains me and helps focus. That's been a bonus...

Just a reminder. The people that no one knows about that are placed in our modern concentration camps are real people too . Violence should never be accepted. Don't complain on one and be complicit on another.
Our brave @ICEgov law enforcement are now facing an 830% increase in assaults against them.
These are the individuals who risk their lives EVERY DAY removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens from America’s communities.
Our ICE agents are real people—with families and children—who wake up each day committed to protecting the homeland. They deserve the gratitude and support of our nation.

Un video rápido sobre Tom Homan de #ICE — respondiendo a cómo huir podría considerarse una sospecha razonable. #conocetusderechos #Constitucion

Después de ver el video de Tom Homan hablando sobre cómo #ICE podría detener a personas basándose en su apariencia, pensé en hacer un video sobre cómo eso podría considerarse como perfil racial. #conocetusderechos #Constitucion
