More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will β€œpromptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

It's sort of funny when codex/claude give you time estimates of how long something should take, like 2 weeks, and then does that thing in 25 minutes.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is β€œunder review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

ICE is straight up executing people for no reason other than to create fear. We have to get it disbanded and prosecute the leadership and its thugs.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need β€œmore training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them toβ€”impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I think TestFlight reviews are taking longer than they used to because so many people are using Expo Launch.

What are the things you tried to do that you found the most confusing?

The way I think about RN is that it gives you access to the native platform layer β€” either w a JS API but also by letting you drop down when you want to. In my experience most large software systems in native code end up having a scripting system in them. But obviously do things the way you prefer !

NuTrak needed iOS and Android without double work.

We used React Native and one shared codebase.

Fast delivery. Native feel. Easier updates.

Do you know what you mean by web feel? I think a native feel is very achievable w skill these days.
