If Samsung is going delete the health data of people using their apps in retaliation for opting out of AI training, then users should delete that app and push back against Samsung for what is essentially extortion for private data.
We have power with these companies. USE IT.
SERIOUS QUESTION: Do you ever really get overwhelmed by how our current reality is a genuine dystopian nightmare yet everyone still acts like it is completely normal ??
1 in 61 people nationwide are under some form of correctional control — and the vast majority of them are on probation or parole.
Mass punishment in the U.S. is off the charts, even in "progressive" states.
NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵

I hope no one needs an MRI this year.
The world's largest producer of liquified helium is in Qatar and is shut off. We just got a notice that our supply for the year will be at least cut in half.
No one could have predicted this (unless they thought about it).
Per Fortune magazine, The United States Treasury has declared the U.S. to be insolvent and the media isn’t reporting on it at all.

This feels entirely intentional, creating chaos amid the partial government shutdown. 🧊 agents are not trained to conduct TSA screenings, nor are they equipped to properly verify the wide range of international passports and credentials outside of the U.S. Their presence seems more symbolic than practical, more about intimidation than actual support.
How does this address the TSA staffing shortage in any meaningful way? Instead, it's longer security lines, confusion, potential harassment and even wrongful detainment.
At a time when travelers are already dealing with frustration and delays, this only adds another layer of instability. It’s hard not to see how this could escalate an already strained situation into something far more chaotic. SMH.
All of us have far more common cause with working class Iranians, Cubans, Palestinians and Venezuelans than with any US billionaire. We can either realize this soon and act accordingly in solidarity or suffer and perish together, but either way our fates are linked.
If you're a US citizen traveling through an airport, you do not have to answer any ICE questions other than where going or where you were, which is readily apparent on a ticket and/or passport. You do not have to let them access your phone or laptop to proceed. Sue sue sue.

A group of Israeli soldiers filmed themselves looting homes in Lebanon – like they did in Gaza.
Israel’s assault on Lebanon has forcibly displaced over 1 million Lebanese people in less than 3 weeks.
It fascinates me that giving to charities is considered noble and praiseworthy.
But creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered socialist and bad. 🤔

It took 4 days for the César Chávez abuse allegations to spark a nationwide purge: statues torn down, streets, parks and schools renamed, holidays canceled, and politicians now running for cover.
Meanwhile, Epstein’s abuse has been public since 2019. Still. No. Client. Arrests.
