The pain, suffering, & death caused by this administration is unconscionable.

As an American, I am embarrassed & deeply distressed by the actions of my government & its representatives.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.

Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Ugh…
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

commodifying differences of opinion?!?!

We've watched - dumbstruck - as social media has been manipulated by prioritizing divisiveness.

It sounds like kalshi is trying to cut out the social media middleman and veneer of plausible deniability to pour gasoline on the fire of our division for 💰💰💰.
The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

Dumb and xenophobic.

I subscribe to @404media.co & I think it is among the best uses of my resources.

Their reporting consistently promotes the #CommonGood.

Do check it out.
One thing we're vvv proud of: 404 Media independent + journalist-owned. Here's a rundown of some of our recent work:

After months of 404 Media reporting and pressure from lawmakers, US airlines will shut down a program that sold millions of YOUR flight records to the government.
Airlines Will Shut Down Program That Sold Your Flights Records to Government
The move comes after intense pressure from lawmakers and 404 Media’s months-long reporting about the airline industry's data selling practices.
