New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

I recently reposted a former congressional staffer who said that when an issue got 20-30 calls it would get representatives freaked out and ready to do something. It takes less than you’d think, because so few people actually take that kind of action

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

Watching them debate the missing indigenous persons act in Montana and the representative Schubert just called it a "woke DEI program."
Thankfully his amendment to kill it failed tremendously, with most of his party siding against him.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

Closed my Amazon credit card. I had only used it to return presents for the toddler, anyway, in the past few years. I plan on closing at least 2 more credit cards. Not technically on a no-/low-buy year, but trying to disentangle myself from Trump’s economy as much as I can.

Uhhh just because it looks like an effigy of a guy with well-known fascist sympathies was hung upside down at the place in Italy where the body of an infamous fascist was hung upside down 80 years ago doesn't mean that's what they actually did.
Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945.
They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Trump has not ended the war in Ukraine in 24 hours as promised. Rubio is now moving the goalposts and saying that was never Trump's promise and that his new policy is just that he wants to see the war ended at some time.
CBS: One of the many things Trump said during his campaign was that he would end the war in Ukraine on day one. That did not happen.
MARCO RUBIO: The promise the president made really, if you look at it, is it's going to be official policy of the US that the war in Ukraine needs to come to an end
