I hope/pray this very flawed โ€˜dealโ€™ from Trump that Hamas & Israel agreed to ends the genocide & famine & leads to a real ceasefire.

But my biggest fear is there is nothing and no one to stop Netanyahu from resuming the genocide once they get all the hostages back and Trump has his Nobel Prize.

NEW: breach of Discord age verification data.

Including some users passports & DLs

Age verification is a badly implemented data grab wrapped in a moral panic.

Mark my words, as age verification mandates expand, we'll end up more surveilled and less secure. 1/

Spending $200 billion on ICE is a terrible idea I've covered federal law enforcement for two decades. Here are the things that worry me most.

"Weโ€™re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

Other countries have safety nets. The US has women.

Their labor creates the illusion of a DIY society, making it seem like we don't need a net.

โ€œItโ€™s disguised as work requirements and term limits, but in reality itโ€™s a way to strip families of their benefits,โ€ said Deborah Thrope of the National Housing Law Project. โ€œThis is a huge departure from how the HUD programs have been run.โ€

Velshi Banned Book Club: PEN America releases new โ€˜Banned in the USAโ€™ list A new report released by PEN America outlines the disturbing new trend of book bans becoming normalized. The report tracked more than 6,800 instances of books being temporarily or permanently pulled from library shelves during the 2024-2025 school year. Author Stephen King tops the list with the most books banned. Critics warn that schools are โ€œobeying in advanceโ€ pulling books from the shelves before itโ€™s even demanded.ย 

PEN America's new report says book bans have become "rampant and common." Legendary author and member of the #VelshiBannedBookClub Stephen King has been singled out as the most banned author for the 2024-2025 school year. #VELSHI

This morning, theย Trump Administrationโ€™s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
