Its not about stopping Big Tech, but helping them gain more information about you.
Elon dared anyone to name someone USAID cuts killed and Nicholas Kristof, who did research on this, told Elon a lot of names and now Elon’s crashing the fuck out
.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
An urgent situation is unfolding in the U.S. Congress. The "KIDS Act"—a sweeping legislative package that includes measures such as stricter age verification for internet use and regulations on private messaging—is suddenly scheduled for a vote in the House of Representatives on the 29th.
While organizations like the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation)—which advocates for freedom of expression in the digital age—are sounding the alarm, the situation is escalating so rapidly that public awareness appears to be lagging behind. Some analyses suggest the House is leaning toward passing the bill, making the outcome highly uncertain.
We urge everyone to pay close attention to this matter and call upon U.S. citizens to take action to halt it; we are hoping for a positive outcome from here in Japan as well.
🚨BREAKING: In the Chicago suburbs, an ICE agent assaults a teenager for filming his vehicle, and pointing out that it illegally has no license plate.
In the video, a U.S. citizen is peacefully filming an ICE vehicle, that is sitting in a parking lot. He walks to the back of the SUV to document that it has no license plate.
That’s when the ICE agent jumps out, screaming, “Get away from my vehicle!” while aggressively charging toward the teenager.
The teenager immediately backs away, but the ICE agent keeps walking at him, tries to trip the teenager , and continues yelling… even though neither of them are anywhere near the vehicle anymore.
Filming government officials performing their duties, in public, is protected by the First Amendment. That protection doesn’t disappear just because the official doesn’t like being recorded.
An officer also can’t lawfully use physical force simply because someone is filming them. Using force, to stop someone from recording, is a violation of that person’s constitutional rights.
And let’s not ignore the reason the ICE agent got out of his car in the first place...
Illinois law requires vehicles, driven on public roads, to display valid registration plates. This ICE vehicle is not following that law.
So, if your first instinct, when someone records your conduct, is to assault them… you’re proving exactly why the public is recording in the first place.
America 250 was going to be like a World Fair that would have attracted millions of people.
But Trump stole the money, denied permits, & renamed it Freedom 250 so he could make it all about himself & Republicans.
Trump stole America's Birthday from you! 🤬
SCOOP: White House adviser Stephen Miller was the driving force behind DOJ’s memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care, said people briefed on the situation.

more people should take note of what happened here. They’ve set a legal precedent for criminalizing organizing by criminalizing literature.

Now Lander responds to the comment: “We named our son after Marek Edelman, a leader of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. That’s how seriously I take the legacy of Jews who fought Nazis. I don’t know where Bruce Blakeman went to Hebrew school, but I was taught that ‘Never Again!’ means never again to anyone. Standing up for Palestinian human rights doesn’t make me any less proud to be Jewish, or any less serious about fighting antisemitism. New Yorkers, including Jewish New Yorkers, will resoundingly reject Blakeman’s far-right MAGA bigotry this November.”
We need to bring back intellectual elitism. Sorry, but a virologist will always know more about vaccines than a yoga mommy blogger with a ChatGPT Plus subscription.

We watched two Americans get gunned down in the street by federal agents.
The number of migrants dying in ICE detention is at record levels.
