EFF Statement on TikTok Ownership Deal One of the reasons we opposed the TikTok "ban" is that the First Amendment is supposed to protect us against government using its power to manipulate speech. But as predicted, the TikTok "ban" has onl...

"As for the algorithm, if the concern had been that TikTok could be a conduit for Chinese government propaganda—a concern the Supreme Court declined to even consider —people can now be concerned that TikTok could be a conduit for U.S. government propaganda."

Truly, truly, amazing news

"Don't mock or you'll be deported" is the mark of a weak, decadent nation, a petty and insecure failure unworthy of respect.

We'll kick things off at 12 PM Pacific. (Do your own localization time math; I'm terrible at it.) Join us!

You are not allowed to see inside immigration court. So we brought an illustrator At rarely seen hearings, families with toddlers and unaccompanied teenagers, face lawyers for the government.

If you're not even a bit skeptical about this, I respectfully suggest you're not paying attention. www.cms.gov/newsroom/pre...

The tech industry only ever has two positions on any proposed tech regulation:

(1) Don’t regulate us. It’s too early. Our tech is still developing.

(2) Don’t regulate us. It’s too late. Our tech is everywhere.

I am very skeptical about what those pages will look like, but grateful to those who made enough of a stink about it to bring something back. #goforbroke

Pentagon restores a few webpages honoring servicemembers but still defends DEI purge A Defense Department webpage honoring Black Medal of Honor recipient Army Maj. Gen. Charles Calvin Rogers was taken down last week.

Update: per spox, “The Army is tirelessly working through content on that site and articles related to the 442nd Infantry Regiment and Nisei Soldiers will be republished to better align with current guidance." www.12newsnow.com/article/news...

My grandfather was the one who taught me to love this country, and to believe that working to fix a country that is not perfect is one of the greatest possible acts of patriotism and love a person can do.

He would be heartbroken about this.

I should say shame on the people who've done this. But what's in my heart is: fuck you. This isn't correcting whatever bullshit definition you have of DEI, this is erasing history.

As a high school senior, my grandfather saw his hometown bombed and then signed up to join the Army. He was a 442nd RCT medic in France, Italy and Germany, for which he was awarded a Bronze Star: digitallibrary.usc.edu/asset-manage...

As an act of protest, read about them today:

There are many indignities, big and small. But it was the honor of my grandfather's life to serve in the 442nd RCT (and also for my relatives in the 100th and the MIS) and there is nothing, NOTHING, to gain from erasing their contributions to this country. jacl.salsalabs.org/jacl-calls-f...

Sometimes I get asked if I regret leaving journalism. And, honestly, while I miss many things about reporting and writing, the thing I miss *most* from a personal perk sense is getting reviewer access to Civ.

So excited to play todaaaaay.
