I'd really like to know how many legal requests, and subpoenas, have gone out for Bluesky in 2025.

The last report that Bluesky did was on Jan 17, 2025, for 2024, so it's now overdue.

Can we please get the moderation / transparency report for 2025, Bluesky?

Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“

We stopped Platform Ventures KC from selling their $80,000,000 warehouse to DHS to create a new concentration camp in South KC, we can also stop CoreCivic.
CoreCivic hurts everyone inside and outside of their for-profit prisons.

Join us this Tuesday at 5:00PM outside of Leavenworth City Hall and show solidarity with the Leavenworth community to say NO to CoreCivic’s detention camp.

Cops Criticize Flock Safety After It’s Caught Handing Out Access To Federal Agencies
A California police department is none too happy that its license plate reader records were accessed by federal employees it never gave explicit permission to peruse. And, once again, it's Flock Safety shrugging itself into another PR black eye. Mountain View police criticized the company supplying its automated license plate reader system after an audit turned up "unauthorized" use by federal law enforcement agencies.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

One of my many ulterior motives in writing this piece was to get data literalists to remember that their own methods require accounting for the weirdness of human/mass psychology. Not everything is as it seems in the crosstabs.
Relatedly, this is sharp from @brianbeutler.bsky.social explaining how idea that Trump won the culture is partly an artifact of propaganda and Dem demoralization. Same on immigration, though in that case centrist pundits fed that impression for dubious ends.

The rejection of the policy has been overwhelming — and driven by judges of all ideologies. While the 28 judges who have backed the admin’s view are, with a few exceptions, Trump appointees.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

"They are a bunch of sick fucks. So many people knew." She confirmed Trump lied about kicking Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. Other files show the relationship continued for years.
