As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.
I just found out that our stuff is being sold on Amazon - WITHOUT our consent or any ability to opt out bc Amazon is just scraping artist’s websites and putting our shit in their search results. Again, without our permission.

RFK Jr. has cancelled federal grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, claiming the work they fund “no longer aligns with departmental priorities.” Those grants weren’t about ideology.

Once again Senator Lee thinks he can sneak in attacks to our public lands and we won’t notice. And once again, he’s wrong. We’re here, we’re watching, and we’re not letting up.

For now, "Canadian citizens, travelling on a Canadian passport, do not need an Electronic System for Travel Authorization” to enter the U.S., a Global Affairs Canada spokesperson told Global News" globalnews.ca/news/1157188...

The proposed rule would add new disclosure requirements for visa-exempt travellers, but Canadian citizens using their passport would not be affected.

Palantir (the surveillance contractor used by ICE & the Pentagon) is now embedded inside the U.S. Dept of Education. They are building the new “foreign funding” reporting portal for universities.

They will be awarded up to $61.8M total to do this.

They’re literally calling it a “disposal” of public lands.

Disposal. Like expired meat. Like broken furniture.

Nevada’s gov just signed a deal with the BLM to identify federal lands to be cleared and sold. This isn’t a rogue state. This is federal policy. The BLM is not resisting. They are all in.
Nevada Governor and BLM Sign Agreement to Release Federal Lands for Development
They’re literally calling it a “disposal of public lands” as if shared wilderness, sacred ground, and national inheritance are garbage to be cleared and sold.

ICE is arresting, detaining, and refusing to release far more people than ever before.

WHAT IS BILL 33:
‼️ Bill 33 gives the Minister of Education power to remove locally elected school trustees and replace them with unelected government appointees. This silences parents and communities by taking away their say in decisions that affect their children's schools. (2/4)

Bill 33 just passed, to much applause and back-slapping from Team Ford.

Say goodbye to public education in Ontario.

It will follow public healthcare, into the past.

Most people won't understand what has happened until it's all gone.

As intended.
