If @github & tech’s complicity in ICE’s human rights abuses horrifies you, please take a moment today to help defend asylum #NoTechForICE#GitHubDropICE
FIVE DAYS LEFT to #SaveAsylum
The Trump Admin proposed a regulation that will DESTROY ASYLUM
WHAT CAN WE DO?
Flood the admin with public comments to defend asylum. Bring your outrage 👉 bit.ly/3dNmVID#SoundOfftoSaveAsylum
@github@natfriedman still want to support #ICE now that they are presumably using your infra to put in place the #StudentBan that targets international students?
Anyone near CS knows those students play a major role in all US tech companies including yours. Save them
Well, it finally happened. This #ICE International #StudentBan got me back into the “organizing effective lobbying action via twitter” game.
Want to make sure our lovely international students can keep their visas? Here’s how to do it:

This is a horrible policy, enacted for no reason other than bullying the vulnerable. Hey @github maybe now's a good time to stop working with these monsters?
ICE is telling international students on F-1 and M-1 visas that if their school is doing online-only courses they must leave the country or transfer to a place with in-person instruction—or they'll be deemed in the US illegally and subject to deportation. ice.gov/news/releases/…
“The reality is all work is political work...We’re all confronted with choices about how our labor is used, how we direct that, who we are really serving, who we’re working for and who benefits from the labor of our lives.” #NoTechForICE#GitHubDropICEvice.com/en_us/article/…
🚨This is a truly terrifying development.
Under the Trump administration's expansion of "expedited removal," ICE can snatch anyone off the street, anywhere in the US, and deport them in days if they can't prove that they're here legally, or have been here for at least two years.
If you've assumed Microsoft is the reason GitHub still hasn't dropped its ICE contract, notice that reason Nat cited. *Microsoft* does pick and choose customers. MS has policy wrt facial recognition contracts, for instance. Sticking with ICE is GitHub's policy, GitHub's decision.
_do_ Black lives matter to @github? Our continuing support of ICE says otherwise. “Black communities are over-policed and over-incarcerated, and as a result, Black immigrants are disproportionately funneled into the [lethal] immigration legal system.” ourprism.org/1952428
GitHub’s CEO spoke at length about company support for Black Lives Matter at an all-hands meeting Thursday. When it came time for questions, outraged employees asked, how can we have this outwardly moral stance but continue to work with ICE? w/@JMBooyahlatimes.com/business/techn…
Tech CEOs may speak out against systemic racism's history in the US, but they lack the moral backbone to stop aiding and profiting from the white supremacist institutions of today
@natfriedman You have a chorus of people giving you very specific, direct action you can take, and you’re choosing not to engage with them. I get it, beholden to shareholders or whatever. But these tweets don’t reflect well on you, almost tonedeaf. Please reconsider your words and actions.
ICE is causing immeasurable harm to immigrants and inflicting uncertainty and anguish on their families. @github must cancel the ICE contract. #GithubDropICE#NoTechForICE
Immigrants have always been vital to the US economy and to GitHub. Potential exec order to “temporarily suspend immigration” adds uncertainty and anguish for developers, will slow recovery and hinder innovation. We need immigrants to get us through this & help us move forward.
In the midst of this pandemic, Amazon is responsible for how its warehouse worker policies & hosting of Palantir/ICE are exacerbating the spread of #COVID19
Last week, some Amazonians who signed the #wewontbuildit letter emailed this statement internally
