Who do you think is in control of the FBI right now

THANK YOU. The FBI needs to open a case. They may not get far, but a crime is in progress

From @cathygellis.bsky.social: "I think a colorable, non-frivolous argument can be made that Elon Musk, and everyone on his DOGE team accessing the federal government’s computer infrastructure, is potentially personally liable for violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)."

Merry Christmas to everyone except whoever wrote the Christmas episode of Little House on the Prairie where people die in a blizzard because Miss Beadle let the kids out early on Christmas Eve.

Under Chair Lina Khan, the FTC just voted to ban junk fees in hotels and live-event ticketing.

This is exactly what government working for the people looks like.

The lone no vote against this rule? Trump's pick for FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson.

The contrast couldn't be clearer.
Trump FTC Pick Casts Lone No Vote on Rule Banning Deceptive Junk Fees | Common Dreams
Andrew Ferguson has opposed several major initiatives championed by Lina Khan, including FTC rules banning anti-worker noncompete agreements and making it easier for consumers to cancel subscriptions.

Just-before-Christmas layoffs now an annual event at Vox Media, it seems. Hope you all land somewhere that actually values you and your work. It is possible!
voxmediaunion.bsky.social Vox Media Union @voxmediaunion.bsky.social · Dec 5
Hello Bluesky. Sucks that this is our first post. A statement from the Vox Media Union and @wgaeast.bsky.social on today's layoffs. Please stay tuned for more details on how you can support our colleagues who were impacted today.
Today, we were blindsided by news from Vox Media management that many of our colleagues at Thrillist and Eater would lose their jobs. We are devastated to lose writers and editors who produce invaluable work each and every day, and disgusted by Vox Media’s short-sighted decision making. As always, it is the workers who bear the brunt of management’s poor choices, and this close to the holidays, their callousness is especially galling. We are incredibly disappointed by management’s decision to decimate Thrillist, a vertical that it has invested almost nothing in since acquiring it from Group Nine. As we have made clear to management with our demand for One Union, One Contract, the WGAE-Vox Media Union views our colleagues at Thrillist as members of our union, and we will make sure that they are made whole in light of management’s decision to essentially shutter this beloved publication. Many of those impacted by today’s layoffs work on Eater’s Cities team, a group of powerhouse journalists who produce some of the most impactful local journalism in the country. Their work has always differentiated Eater and built it into the country’s most prominent food website, and management’s treatment of these workers is both irresponsible and reflects a complete lack of understanding of the journalism that is needed in this moment. We need more boots on the ground doing this essential work, not fewer. As always, the Guild will continue to demand that members are treated fairly in the aftermath of layoffs. As we approach the upcoming negotiations for our third collective bargaining agreement, we want to make abundantly clear to management that the status quo of constant, cyclical layoffs will not continue. We will fight like hell to ensure that our industry has a future, no matter how many times those in charge attempt to run it into the ground. Details on how you can support laid off workers at Vox Media will be forthcoming. Solidarity forever.

FTC Says Data Brokers Unlawfully Tracked Protesters and US Military Personnel
The FTC is targeting data brokers that monitoring people's movements during protests and around US military installations. But signs suggest the Trump administration will be far more lenient.

More than one privacy expert told me that they weren’t as worried about what companies were doing with your data now so much as what they would be doing with it years from now.

When Nancy Mace enrolled at The Citadel, they changed their bathroom policy ON HER BEHALF
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTON, S.C. Female cadets will live in rooms with latches, be judged by the Army’s physical standards for women, and undergo the same stressful first-year training as the men, The Citadel said yesterday. Historically, anyone could walk into any room unannounced. Now, they will have to knock. These and other changes were spelled out yes- terday in The Citadel's plan for ad- mitting women. The policy, to be reviewed by the federal courts, also says that female sophomores, juniors and seniors “may wear conservative lipstick and clear fingernail polish,” but freshmen may not while in uniform. And although towels were suffi- cient in the days when the school was all-male, all cadets must now wear robes if not otherwise clothed when going to bathrooms. At least three women are expect- ed to become Citadel cadets Aug. , the first to do so since the state- supported military college dropped its ban on female cadets after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that the simi- lar all-male policy at Virginia Mili- tary Institute was unconstitutional. Tn an acknowledgement that the school can do more to provide a Citadel lists standards for new female cadets M3 women expected to enter the college supportive environment for wom- en, the plan also calls for the state Human Resources Office and other experts to provide sexual-harass- ment training for cadet leaders, and suggests that a female staff mem- ber be added to the commandant's office to provide a role model for female cadets. Shannon Faulkner became the first female cadet last year — under a federal court order — but she dropped out in less than a week. Five women have been accepted since then, including Kim Messer of wer and Nancy Mace of Goose Creek, who have paid their room deposits and plan to attend. There were indications that a third wom- an would come as well, the school said. The two others indicated that they plan to attend school else- where. The 21-page plan for admitting women, adop…
