LAPD Deployed Drones to Spy on No Kings Protest Flight records show that Los Angeles police dispatched drones 32 times over last month’s No Kings rally.

NEW: Flight data reveals that the LAPD's "Drone as First Responder" program—sold to the public as a public safety measure—is in fact being used to spy on anti-ICE/anti-Trump protests in Los Angeles.

Trump Pardoned a Nursing Home Owner Who Owed Almost $19 Million to a Grieving Family Stories about pardons are often about presidential power. But what about people on the other side of that grace? The Coulson family may never receive millions from a wrongful death lawsuit it won years ago.

NEW: Stories about pardons are often told as stories about presidential power — who had access, who persuaded a president to intervene. But what drew reporter Jeremy Kohler to this story was the people on the other side of that act of grace.

Your regular reminder that Thorn, untouchable child safety darling of governments and the tech sector, partnered with Palantir for its facial scanning technology and used it to target sex workers, and is now leading the charge for compulsory AI-based scanning of communications.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

We brought the fight against Flock ALPR’s straight to their headquarters in Atlanta yesterday with @conmijente.bsky.social @mediajustice.bsky.social @18millionrising.bsky.social @deflockatlanta.org & other local community members!

FlockOut.org -Time to start a campaign in your city!

Recognizing that no judge or jury will endorse an expansive reading of Section 230 when Meta is the defendant, and that this will half a step into the future have a disproportionately bad outcome on people who are less evil: a discussion draft for a Section 230 for the modern age.

translation: "IRS confirms the Trump family is stealing more money from Americans"

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.

DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

DOJ is now 0-5.

My firm is 5-0.

Lesson: When we fight we win.

April is #SecondChanceMonth. What we need to really think about is it being #FairChanceMonth!!!!

Not everyone had a FIRST CHANCE, while others have needed more than a Second Chance because of the way the system is set up!!!!

Ppl coming home from prison need opportunities and support

it is affordable. If you're lucky enough to be one of the rich fucks 😆

Moving my #Bluesky account to #Eurosky was as easy as they promised. The hardest bit about it was the Captcha.

Going to move my LinkedIn to Sifa now and see how it is. It no doubt will take time to grow but I think we need to support European platforms.

Seems like the DC media should be asking every rep or Senator who votes for a clean reauth if they read Wyden's letter...

‼️MASSACHUSETTS ‼️ we need you to get your phones & get busy pushing back against @massgovernor.bsky.social ‘s awful social media ban legislation that pushes age verification- punishing parents & teens while letting Big Tech off the hook!

The IDF bombed a funeral procession in Lebanon and if you talk about it the Israeli’s will label you “antisemitic”.

Senate rejects effort to halt arms sales to Israel, but most Democrats vote to block them More than three dozen Democrats supported an effort by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday to block arms sales to Israel, signaling a growing discontent in the party with Prime Minister Benjamin ...

40 Senate Democrats voted for Sen. Sanders’ bill to block arms sales to Israel, a 50% increase in Democratic support from the last Senate vote.

But in yet another act of failed leadership, Schumer voted against the bill — along with Blumenthal, Coons, Cortez Masto, Fetterman, Gillibrand, and Rosen.

i love being able to self-host my own pds on cloudflare workers (for the simplicity of not having to mess around with needing a server). But goddamn, if there was some way I could selfhost an appview (bonus: using cloudflare workers) to not need to be reliant on bluesky that would be pretty epic

i hope you europeans will fight against this fascist censorship bullshit: bsky.app/profile/mike...

all vaccines should be free. I said what I said (also all medicine, medical treatment, food, utilities, and housing should also be free)

So I have heard Josh Gottheimer supposedly introduced the "Parents Decide Act" that requires OS level age verification.

I'm not sure if this is HB 8250 or a NEW bill, but either way, keep calling:

Discord Data Breach - 1.5 TB of Data and 2 Million Government ID Photos Extorted Discord has confirmed a significant data breach that exposed sensitive user information after an attacker compromised a third-party customer service provider.

judging from recent history, correct, there WILL absolutely be data breaches cybersecuritynews.com/discord-data...

This will be a nightmare for privacy and safety. How long until the first data breach, do you think?

The EU says its age verification app is ready The EU has unveiled an open-source age verification app using zero-knowledge proof to shield children from harmful content online.

The EU says its rolling out an age-verification app for use across its member states. Users will have to upload their passport or national ID in order to access large swaths of the internet.

The board voted at its March meeting to require transgender students to use locker rooms and bathrooms that match their sex assigned at birth. The superintendent said social workers would meet with the affected students to go over the changes.

In case it is unclear: your ethical and moral obligation is to refuse to participate in enforcing this. To validate that this is wrong. To push back and stand with trans kids. To offer safe bathrooms. It is not to make it palatable or tolerable for other adults.
