DHS Orders Tech Giants to Unmask Anti-ICE Accounts (www.thedailybeast.com)

The Department of Homeland Security is pushing Silicon Valley to strip anonymity from Americans who track or criticize Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The agency has fired off hundreds of subpoenas demanding names, email addresses, and phone numbers tied to anti-ICE social media accounts, the New York Times reported Friday.

Unlike traditional warrants, administrative subpoenas do not require approval from a judge before they are issued. Instead of seeking court authorization first, DHS can sign and send the demands directly to tech companies—a power civil liberties advocates say is now being deployed far more aggressively.

Google, Meta, Reddit, and Discord received subpoenas targeting anonymous accounts that posted about ICE activity, the Times reported.

Modernizing the electric grid and fast tracking the development and adoption of sources of clean energy?

Nah! That's crazy talk. It's not like other countries like – I dunno – China, have done that recently.

The people in charge are the same group that pulled solar panels off the roof of the White House in 1986. This has been going on a long time.

I mean, that's been on the platform for over a decade. Not a lot has come of it. If they'd actually built up any of this into the power grid, it wouldn't be something the right wing oil and gas lobbyists could politicize.
