You should hammer all these reps who voted yes on the KIDS Act.

Additionally, keep contacting your other reps as well

These are not things that happen at camps which are not designed to kill the people they incarcerate. ICE centers are concentration camps.

Yesterday, the KIDS Act has Passed the E&C, and soon will be pushing into the house! This is a combination of KOSA, SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and other bills into one package.

Contact your Reps, and tell them to OPPOSE these bills! Stay strong, and fight for your rights and privacy!

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Paramount Skydance must SELL Star Trek before it merges with Warner Bros. Discovery, or else Star Trek is DEAD.

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: β€˜They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s β€˜arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: β€œBecause they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD.

You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it.

I've made my calls today. You need to.

81% of Israelis back Iran strikes, INSS poll finds - i24NEWS 63% want Operation Roaring Lion to continue until the regime falls

This kind of poll result makes it much harder to support the argument that the Israeli government β‰  the Israeli people. The American and Israeli publics seem to be moving in opposite directions.

MY LATEST: "If there’s no right to obtain damages when a racist postal worker refuses to deliver mail because he’s big mad a Black woman owns a couple pieces of property, then the postal service has no financial incentives to stop racist employees from tossing Black people’s mail into a river."

TikTok says it won't encrypt DMs claiming it puts users at risk TikTok tells the BBC it won't join rival platforms such as WhatsApp and Messenger in using end-to-end encryption.

TikTok won't protect DMs with controversial* privacy tech. TikTok told BBC that (INDUSTRY STANDARD) end-to-end encryption puts users at risk by preventing them & police from reading DMs flip.it/IXBKWz *WTAF BBC. Controversial!?

At TikTok, trust & safety is reading & sharing your DMs with the police

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.
