If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.
Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?
As long as this Elon Musk person isn’t known for blowing things up, we’re probably fine.

Something that I think we can all agree on is that the current generation of Democratic leadership is simply not optimized for the Attention Age. Not really their fault! And honestly, they may be better people for it, but it's a pretty pressing political problem.

Meta is renewing its threats against employees, telling them today that they will hunt for leakers and tolerate zero leaks.
Want to know how that is going? Three Meta employees who I’ve never spoken to before just cold messaged/emailed me offering me to be sources.

“Today we’re not talking about abortion and today we’re not talking about gun rights. But two, three years from now, we could be. And if we set the precedent penalizing any elected official for voting their conscience — whether it’s good or bad — then we’ve set a dangerous precedent for the future.”
Republican Todd Gardenhire split from his party on Tuesday during a committee meeting, challenging a portion of Gov. Bill Lee’s immigration bill that would charge local elected officials with a felony if they support sanctuary city laws.

Maybe more people would remember this from Rhodes’s trial if the court allowed it to be televised. Maybe not.
Print journalists like @rparloff.bsky.social provided unflinching coverage of that trial.
It’s bizarre to see how easily history can be forgotten when only a few are there to witness it.

On Jan. 6, just after his fellow Oath Keepers entered the Capitol in a military-stack formation, Rhodes received a message from a rioter. Members of Congress must be “shitting their pants inside,” the message read.
Rhodes replied: “Amen. They need to shit their fucking pants.”

I'm told TikTok's host (Oracle) and CDN (Akamai) brought it back online today because Trump assured them they'd not be subject to penalties - something he can't entirely promise.
Whatever one's feelings on the ban's merit, they're defying federal law based on a not-yet-president's word. Huge gamble

The real conversation everyone should be having about social media is who controls the data. It shouldn't be a corporation that has ownership over your identity, words, ideas, voice, who you see or who you talk to. Data belongs to you, it is created by you and should be owned by only you.
