> The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers, the officials said.
> "We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."
This seems beyond bad.

- an_guy 2y agoIt was prohibited to create such policies since 2019[1]. They've increased punishment for offenders. You might want to read on what exactly changed[2] Besides Tennessee law prohibits creation of "sanctuary city" way before Trump came into power.

- Tadpole9181 2y agoIt was prohibited to enact those policies. But that's performative, it has always been illegal to aid criminals. It's also technically illegal to sell weed in Colorado. This makes it illegal to vote. That's first amendment protected behavior and has long been precedent. And once they set the precedent they can make voting a particular way illegal, they'll apply that same law to more and more laws - and then they'll apply it to citizens (based on the SCOTUS ruling that legislators have the same first amendement right as citizens). Stop being a fascist apologist and pretending this behavior is normal. It is not God damn normal to outlaw voting a specific way. It's their job to represent their electorate and that's literally how we're supposed to change the system in democratic system. This is clearly a move to make it illegal to progressive.
- an_guy 2y agoI do have to agree punishing elected representative for voting is a slippery slope. But in this case, it didn't really change anything.
- Tadpole9181 2y agoThe fact it is accepted by every single branch of government and is being done flagrantly in the open and their supporters cheer changes everything.
- darthwalsh 2y agoFrom your link: >making it a felony for public officials to back sanctuary policies. Saying "vote against Republicans" makes it sound like voting against any Trump policy is a crime.
- Tadpole9181 2y agoYes, I quoted that in a comment. I'm sorry, are you being a fascist apologist here? Is it remotely acceptable to make it a crime to vote a given way as a democratically elected representative? Once a single such law exists, it's now precedent we can do it anywhere. Such a law doesn't even exist for murder for obvious reasons.
