'Make 'em famous!' MAGA border czar wants 'database' of ICE protesters to ruin their lives
Do not help them to build any more of this machine.
If you work with a database and are asked to alter the table structure to comply in advance for citizenship or gender categorizations it's really important to NOT do it.
"The governor is concerned about all this stuff they want us to update our record keeping so we store both gender AND biological sex."
"We need fields to store the country of origin of people's parents."
If you don't have the power to rebuff this yourself, ask for help. At minimum ask for help online anonymously.
Depending on your job you probably have in the past made compromises. Maybe to keep your job. Maybe to survive. This is a bright line. If you are asked to be the one to update the table don't let it be your fingers typing those changes.
If you can't just say "No I won't do that." Stall, run away, feign incompetence. Just don't let it happen.
I suspect this might be where the rubber hits the road first for us around here.
Nothing has changed. You do not have to do it. It is not even ordained.
I know someone who rebuffed such a request. Boss was apologetic "it's what the higher ups want, oh *I* think it's a lot of nonsense, but I don't want us to be out of step ... blah blah"

Fascism can be the work of zealots, but there are also many sheepish middle management helping hands who "don't even believe in this really"
There is a lively discussion of this on mastodon. (Mastodon is a very active social network where many people who left twitter have gone over the past few years to escape many problems of big centralized socail media. I like it a lot.) Posting a response to this post over there could be a way to get lots of help and ideas from tech people all over the world with similar values. If you do need help. Please say something.
Also, if you respond to this post I can pass what you say along if that would help too. People will respond and give you ideas to NOT do this should you be asked.
If you work with a database and are asked to alter the table structure to comply in advance for citizenship or gender categorizations it's r

Trumpy donors say the pro-Kirk “exposure” project took tens of thousands before going dark.
A pro-MAGA website that urged supporters to fund a database unmasking Charlie Kirk critics took tens of thousands in crypto—then vanished, infuriating donors.
Instant karma. I hope trump and the other MAGA grifters take their last few dimes. Thinking they are funding revenge and instead getting scammed is great. I love that for them. Trying to dig a ditch for others and they end up in it. I think it was God's will.
