      The DoD was one of Microsoft's biggest customers for a LONG ASS TIME. Like back to me being in high school long.

      As recently as 2015, the US Navy threw a crapload of money at MS to extend long term support of Windows XP. XPhttp://bgr.com/2015/06/24/windows-xp-support-us-navy-millions/ …

      This isn't just for stuff sitting in an office in Pax River, either. Both the US and Royal Navies run XP on *ships*.https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/navy-ships/news/a27108/hms-queen-elizabeth-windows-xp/ …

      Microsoft has long made a fortune off of being directly involved in weapons development. They're not just selling software to engineers. They are designing and supporting systems that are literally in weapons platforms.

      When the Google stuff happened, I cautioned against considering it too big a win. Google was never a serious player in this space. Companies you've never heard of are dragging in 8 and 9 figure hauls. But so too is MS.pic.twitter.com/F2a565r1G4

          My point in this is that we can celebrate tech solidarity organizing and should but we gotta be real real honest about scope.

          In direct action training you learn that the most effective direct actions have a few common elements: - a clear ask - a person or entity who can be held responsible - and a willingness to make the cost of noncompliance overly burdensome

          Given that Microsoft has a 15 year history of building tech for DHS, that has to factor into your solidarity action. What does a measurable outcome look like? What tools do you have to make the cost unbearable?

          Maybe you don't care about $100M maintenance contracts. If I'm being honest, I don't. I'm not gonna die on that hill. Ok, that's a good starting point.

          Is it to cease all contracting with DHS? If so, how do you reconcile that? Halt new development for them? Ok. What are the specifics?
