Willow, Venus Pirate 🏳️⚧️Call to action to cis people: be assholes anytime you get asked for your sex assigned at birth. Write letters, complain to staff, refuse to answer. Make it impossible to collect sex assigned at birth. Be really offended that anyone would ask you. Make enough noise that if trans people want to quietly not answer or give whatever answer feels correct to them, no one will notice.
Voline@Willow
Wait, you're asking me to use the power of assholedom for good? I've been waiting for this day for so long. 🥲

IHateFireworks@Voline I have some good news, there are a ton of ICE agents and people who do contract work for ICE, just waiting for you to obstruct the fuck out of them
iam-py-test@ProcessParsnip Just noting, this is a list of contracts with DHS. Not all of the companies listed in the leak are complicit with ICE's actions; many of these contracts are uncontroversial and relate to DHS' other functions, such as disaster response and cybersecurity.
For example, University of California, San Diego got two grants for threat intelligence which expired during the first Trump administration
Furthermore, this leak spans decades, and many of the contracts in it expired before the current administration.
ICE contractors might have been complicit in human rights violations then, but have nothing to do with current events, or have even broken off ties with the agency.
Finally, I don't know if anyone has verified the data is authentic, and hasn't been tampered with by the source.
@iampytest1 it's true that some of these are innocuous. The obtainer has provided information on what each contract is for, and it's a good place to start.
@ProcessParsnip Agreed. Its still very valuable information.
