The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids
The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.
This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

A recently established U.S.-Philippine military task force designed to deter coercion and respond to crises in the disputed South China Sea will not likely stay a two-country effort for long.
New U.S.-Philippine military task force could evolve into multinational unit
Task Force Philippines will likely become a larger, combined force featuring personnel from countries that have visiting-forces agreements with Manila, such as Japan.

Quick note about this again; the 100 mile zone has nothing to do with Border Patrol’s ability to operate. They can operate anywhere in the country.
The 100 mile zone is ONLY about where they have heightened stop and search powers.
It’s not a jurisdictional thing.

I feel like this is an important aspect to emphasize, loudly, to everyone who endorsed Cuomo. they chose to side with a known sexual predator for personal gain and frankly that should be disqualifying for public office. you knew who he was and decided the women he hurt were acceptable losses
it's been a really bad long shitty time for people who care about victims of rape and sexual abuse, and those who've suffered it. drubbing someone who perpetrated it gleefully and believed he was entitled to power despite it is part of this.
