I spoke to @npr.org about USDA’s illegal demand for sensitive data about millions of food stamp recipients.
It’s the kind of request you make if you’re trying to feed a massive surveillance program, not if you’re trying to feed hungry kids.
Every state should sue, and refuse to comply. 👇👇

While I don’t recommend creating an account, if you’re on truth social it’s worth looking at the replies to this post. Either the left is infiltrating his social platform, or his base is not accepting this excuse.

If. Data. Is. Collected. no matter what it's on (robot, smart toothbrush, self-driving car, social media account, etc) police are going to want it and given our current data landscape, they are going to get it.

There is no way to know what a buyer will want to do with the reams of genetic information it has collected. Customers, meanwhile, still have no way to change their underlying genetic data.

“While Trump campaigned on a promise of maximum pressure on the Iranian government, his decision to cut funding for dozens of U.S.-supported pro-democracy and human rights initiatives does the opposite — it applies maximum pressure on the regime’s opponents.”

I can’t remember who said that reading is the closest thing we have to reading minds, but I think about it all the time
Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.
