    Trump Fires Acting Attorney General After She D... https://www.democracynow.org/2017/1/31/headlin... Trump Fires Acting Attorney General After She Defies Muslim Ban Order HEADLINES JAN 31, 2017 President Donald Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates on Monday night, just hours after she announced the Justice Department would not defend Trump’s executive order banning temporarily all refugees, as well as all citizens, from the seven Muslim-majority nations Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Yates had written a memo saying, "I am not convinced that the defense of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful." Yates had served in the Justice Department for 27 years. Trump had asked her to serve as acting attorney general until the Senate confirmed Sen. Jeff Sessions, who is a close ally of Trump. On Monday, Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal praised Sally Yates for speaking out. Sen. Richard Blumenthal: "I want to salute Sally Yates, who has taken a stand based on moral and legal principle in the highest tradition of the Department of Justice, saying that these orders cannot be defended, that the rule of law and morality is more important than the politics of the moment and the impulsive edicts of a ruler who apparently fails to understand that law, or at least his administration does."

  • A Topological Space for Design, Participation and Production. Tracking Spaces of Transformation
    The Journal of Peer Production New perspectives on the implications of peer production for social change Journal of Peer Production Issue 13: OPEN http://peerproduction.net — ISSN 2213-5316 A TOPOLOGICAL SPACE FOR DESIGN, PARTICIPATION AND PRODUCTION. TRACKING SPACES OF TRANSFORMATION Sandra Álvaro Sánchez ‘Space of transformation’ is a concept borrowed from Serres’ communication theory and here redefined after the evolution of the post-digital milieu and the materialistic critique of the same. Hackerspaces, fablabs, medialabs and other shared machines shops are defined here as spaces of transformation, places for the encounter between humans and non-humans, where disciplines are bridged together, hitherto severed, giving place to collective practices related to education, production and society. Shared machine shops are sited locally but also connected globally. Online, they share innovative forms of production, education and collective organization, giving place to a complex ecosystem. This article presents an analysis of the topology of this ecosystem conducted by means of tracking and visualizing the online interactions between the hackerspaces listed at the platform Hackerspaces.org. The application of network analysis is aimed to answer the research questions: First, how shared machine shops are locally and globally connected? Second, what links hackerspaces among them and these with new social issues? The concept of shared machine shops as spaces of transformation and the study of their mutual relations allows for an understanding of the transformative capacity of these spaces and how they are producing a new space for social innovation through its mutual interchange of information. Keywords: hackerspaces, network analysis, design, social innovation, space of transformation development of new organizational forms related to By Sandra Álvaro Sánchez peer-production, and the prototyping of new material products, linked to entrepreneurship and Download as PDF innovation, as well as, of new educational projects.

  • Revving up the Deportation Machinery: Enforcement and Pushback Under Trump, Report in Brief
    REVVING UP THE DEPORTATION MACHINERY Enforcement and Pushback under Trump Report in Brief By Randy Capps, Muzaffar Chishti, Doris Meissner, and Michelle Mittelstadt REVVING UP THE DEPORTATION MACHINERY Enforcement and Pushback under Trump Report in Brief By Randy Capps, Muzaffar Chishti, Doris Meissner, and Michelle Mittelstadt May 2018 This Report in Brief presents the key findings of a comprehensive Migration Policy Institute (MPI) study focused on interior immigration enforcement during the Trump administration and in particular the activities of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Homeland Security agency responsible for interior enforcement. Over the course of six months in 2017, MPI researchers visited 15 jurisdictions in seven states, both in locations fully cooperative with ICE and those limiting their involvement, to assess the differences in enforcement and resulting impacts. The full report provides significant detail on the policies in each of the study sites with regards to cooperation with ICE. It also offers a history of the rise of the interior immigration enforcement system that began in the mid-1990s, and explains how the system currently works and its intersection with state and local law enforcement. The report includes a detailed analysis of trends in arrests at the ICE field office level and detainers lodged and transfers to ICE from local custody for the largest counties in the United States and New York City.
