I'm gifting this article to share details about Renee Nicole Good, an American citizen who was viciously shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. When the government starts justifying and lying about killing its own citizens in cold blood it's a sign of a decaying society. wapo.st/4aQ3sbA

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was an avid writer, a proud mother and a hobby guitarist who won an undergraduate poetry prize in 2020, online records show.

I hope the future of age verification is device-level. Age verification as written into various state laws is dangerous, ineffective, and and invasion of privacy for websites to collect ID online. mashable.com/article/ethi...?
What would ethical age verification look like online?
Current laws are raising alarm bells, but there's a better solution out there.

Many things happened on January 6, but the most important was this: democracy prevailed. It held against a violent mob, a corrupt president, and a Republican Party willing to look away. The insurrection that began on January 6 is not over, nor is our defense of democracy.

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

Check out this story by The Grassroots Connector about Wagner and Haspel's personal experience working with Rob Reiner. It’s a testament to how generously Reiner shared his talents and that he was an incredible human being. What a loss for all of us.

Amazing story from @haldonahue.bsky.social featured in this 2019 @votevets.org Vets ad. Cal Reiner is the lead and directed by Rob Reiner. Hal said Rob, and his wife Michele, were the nicest, most down to earth people. What a disgrace Trump is the disgusting post.

Ditto, what an asshole.
Trump has finally said something so caustic and irredeemable that even some republicans have stopped pretending like they don’t see his tweets to condemn it.
What an asshole.
