Louisiana ranks 50th of 50 states in the categories of crime and the economy in a recent statistical analysis, but somehow Republican Gov. Jeff Landry has time to be Trump’s ”special envoy” to Greenland. MAGA is such a shitshow.

Trump is planning to classify fentanyl as a WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION. No joke.

That label carries real legal consequences: expanded surveillance, easier detention, military logic, and fewer constitutional protections.

I break down what this means and why it matters here 🔗⬇️

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?

Noem: We have not deported military veterans.

Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

Oh, we *seized* the oil tanker? We didn't blow it to smithereens and kill everyone on board like we do with fishing vessels a fraction of the size?

Interdiction has *always* been possible, but the bloodthirsty sociopaths in Trump II choose violence so they can feel like real men and get clicks.
Trump: "It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. Largest one ever seized actually. And other things are happening."

Jared Kushner's involvement was "not mentioned in Paramount's press release on Monday morning about its $108 billion bid, nor were participating sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Qatar."

Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Europe Wants to Cut Down on Annoying GDPR Cookie Pop-Ups
Europe Wants to Cut Down on Annoying GDPR Cookie Pop-Ups
The European Commission (EC) today announced a new digital package that relaxes some of the rules implemented with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that has protected European consumers since 2018. Part of the change to the GDPR includes a modernization of cookie rules that should result in fewer pop-up cookie agreements on websites. The EC says that users will be able to indicate their cookie consent with a single click, with those preferences saved through the central settings of preferences in browsers and operating systems. It sounds like browser makers will need to have a GDPR toggle that informs websites of a user's preference, eliminating the need for users to consent to cookies on a site-by-site basis. In addition to changing GDPR cookie requirements, the EC's proposal allows personal data to be used to train AI without express consent, simplifies cybersecurity reporting, improves access to data through simplified rules, and more, with full details available in the European Commission's press release. It also delays the implementation of parts of the Artificial Intelligence Act, giving companies a longer period to comply with the rules. Critics of the changes suggest that the EC is watering down the GDPR and rolling back consumer protections. European Digital Rights (EDRi) said that the EC's changes risk "dismantling the very foundation of human rights and tech policy in the EU."Tags: European Commission, European Union, GDPR This article, "Europe Wants to Cut Down on Annoying GDPR Cookie Pop-Ups" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums
