@cdarwin@c.imOn the day of Abrego's indictment,
the district's criminal division chief Ben Schrader resigned.

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI’m glad I never became a Fusion 360 user, same with EAGLE. I also need to question supporting Adafruit with stuff like this:

@tarah@infosec.exchangeIt's always lovely to have the doubters get their asses academically kicked when it comes to Ada Lovelace's actual mathematical capabilities, but at the same time, I am so, so, so tired.

@cdarwin@c.imA Trump-appointed judge was so upset with the living conditions in which ICE detained an immigrant in Long Island, New York, that he

U.S. District Judge Gary Brown,
who was appointed by Trump in 2019,
