The lawmakers assassinated in MN are not the first victims of murder enabled by the data broker industry. But many of the previous victims were marginalized & unknown: mostly women who were targeted by abusers or stalkers
The tech industry lobbied fiercely against bills that would have stopped this

Achieving mastery at Connections means seeing that “FRANKINCENSE” and “MYRRH” are both in the puzzle and immediately thinking, “I know you two bitches have nothing to do with each other.”

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor.
He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down.
The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him.
This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

When we communicate science, we often don't say where the resources for it come from. This is clearly a mistake: people consuming science should know who is funding it--and if that funding is being taken away. So, I decided to document the funding sources of every scientist mentioned in my book.

While debates in the U.S. rage about potential overexposure to fluoride, people worldwide still lack basic access to it.

RFK Jr. is speaking to a specific slice of parents (mostly) who believe their autistic child is not like the autistic people who, for example, post on this app. Those parents are committed to a diagnosis of "profound" autism. They are wrong. Please read this from me and @juststimming.bsky.social
Dividing Up the Autism Spectrum Will Not End the Way You Think
The Lancet’s proposal to create a new label of “profound autism” serves only to distract us from the work of ensuring that all autistic people have everything they need to thrive.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

One FULLY INTENDED effect of transphobia is to remove Black and other racialized women from the category of "women" and restrict womanhood to cis white conventionally attractive women who can bear children. It's all part of a white supremacist project.
Walmart called the police on a cis-woman using the women's bathroom.
Even after proving she's a woman, "one deputy continued to question her appearance, insisting she 'looked like a man.'"

When I was in Spain in 1992-93, I met several older Spaniards who, when they found out I was an American, were glad to meet me because they remembered getting food from the Marshall Plan. When they found out my roommate was French, they complained about Napoleon. Soft diplomacy matters.

Every elected official has a duty to the American people to uphold and defend the Constitution. The President’s unilateral decision to withhold funding for America’s priorities passed by Congress and signed into law is an attack on American families and the rule of law.

If you feel overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news streaming out of Washington, that's by design.
Instead of feeling helpless in the face of it all, pick one or two issues that speak to you deeply and concentrate on pushing back on those.
