When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldnβt be concerned because agents will βpromptly let the individual go.β
For these Americans, that wasnβt 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.
Screenshot of a TikTok video with error message at top saying βyour video is under review and canβt be shared right now.β
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHSβs arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is βunder review,β and canβt be shared.
Well, hereβs a link:

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.
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 theyβd be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.
an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Also, may I say that I donβt agree with people saying ICE and CBP need βmore training.β Theyβre doing exactly what this administration has trained them toβimpose a reign of fear in blue cities. They donβt 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 !
