We’re grateful for all of the grassroots groups, educators, and librarians, who support communities through digital security training. Privacy is a team sport, so every effort make a difference for everyone.

Considering most people voluntarily post their country of origin and a lot of social websites used to be fairly upfront about letting you do the same, Americans acknowledging other people live elsewhere isn't the problem it seems to be for folks like Musk and the misinfo/disinfo crowd.
That would require that people in the US recognise that countries other than America exist as real places instead of vague threats seen on Fox News.

Twitter revealing peoples account country of origin (and subsequently revealing a ton of large right wing accounts as foreign bots) is genuinely what every platform should be doing if they're hosting millions of international users.

Xiaohongshu (and some other non-US centric apps) already do that

You Don't Hate The Mass Media Enough

The western press see the killing of Palestinians as such a baseline norm that Israel can massacre dozens of people in Gaza and they’ll go, “Gosh I sure hope this doesn’t lead to any violations of the ceasefire!”

As some countries at the #COP30 climate summit attempt to block gender-inclusive human rights language in negotiations, Nikki Reisch of @ciel.org says the controversy is a distraction to "derail the talks" and "avoid a phaseout of the fossil fuel era."

Opponents to student loan debt forgiveness SWORE TO GOD that the “Big Beautiful Bill” capping how much in student loans people can borrow would force the colleges to lower tuition.

An ex-Obama speechwriter came out and said that the Holocaust education/industry wasn't supposed to create a generation of anti-fascists but a generation who would consent to a fascist ethnostate mass murdering people without argument or pushback. Frankly, I'm glad that plan hasn't totally worked.
Actually, yes, Sarah Hurwitz, that is EXACTLY the lesson that we should take away from the holocaust. The obvious lesson is that genocide is wrong, no matter who is the perpetrator or victim. A powerful military slaughtering innocent civilians is always wrong & we should always support the civilians

An entire political class full of pedophiles, from democrat to republican, aren't going to incriminate themselves by releasing evidence that incriminates ALL of them in a rape-as-blackmail ring. Removing Trump from office and putting him six feet under won't resolve that fact.

I feel like far too many non-socialists who bought into the imperialist narrative about communism and don't want to challenge those notions have been/are too comfortable dismissing and defining what socialism and communism is.

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent.

Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there!

It's 2025, And I still run into people that don't know why Black voters don't like Buttigieg.
This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing
