We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mark Klein. In 2006, Mark showed up at EFF’s front door with a simple question: “Do you folks care about privacy?” We did. And what Mark told us changed everything.

Pokemon Go sale to a Saudi Arabian company owned by govt comes with six separate corporate announcement blogs, not one of them directly addressing what happens to 100 million people's location data, AR mapping capabilities, or the AI maps they have been training:

Hey guys 👋 when you get detained without a warrant and disappeared to a detention facility halfway across the country for peacefully protesting state violence - that’s fascism.

A really dangerous precedent just got set today, and as usual the Dems are doing NOTHING…

Email from Columbia President Armstrong makes clear that admin still has no idea what it’s dealing with. No amount of “serious action to combat antisemitism” (read: punish Palestine activists) will satisfy the Nazis. They see universities as an enemy institution to crush underfoot.

If you still have faith in the democrat party i want you to ask yourself; “do i only think this because im worried about what we’ll have to do as americans if that’s true? Or is it because I’ve accepted the homogenization & death of certain minorities as collateral damage i can just wait out?”
Unfucking acceptable. Cowards and traitors. Names coming.

This is going to be an extremely important case. Right now orgs ranging from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to AIDS/HIV advocacy, colleges, crisis centers, and more are being told to pretend trans people don't exist or lose your funding... and many are choosing to pretend!
BREAKING: Nonprofits sue over Trump's anti-diversity, anti-trans executive orders, alleging they violate the First Amendment & equal protection guarantees, are void for vagueness, exceed the president's authority, & violate the Administrative Procedure Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you want to destroy public confidence in an institution so that you can eventually privatize it, start by understaffing and underfunding it.

See the Republican’s multi-generational assault on public education.

Anyways, say goodbye to national parks as you’ve known them.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.

Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.

And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!

Rand Paul has introduced a National Right to Work Act.

The bill is an attack on organized labor and workers across the country.

It would make it harder for workers to unionize, win good contracts, and maintain their unions.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.

This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!

Huge win for trans people in MT!

Cool tactic from the campaign to stop a new $500 million federal prison from being built in Eastern KY –– a coalition recently purchased a huge chunk of land where the prison is supposed to be built, and plans to reintroduce native species to the area.

Eastern KY activists bought land where feds wanted to build a prison
Rep. Hal Rogers has wanted another prison in eastern Kentucky for years. Local and national activists say the new land owners have better plans for Letcher County.
