Wisconsin scraps VPN ban from age verification bill following backlash But problems with the proposals remain, experts warn

"It's great news. Politicians heard VPN users' worries and fears in Wisconsin, how a ban just wouldn't work, and removed that section," EFF’s Rin Alajaji told @techradar.com, but “the bill is still very problematic even without the VPN provision." www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-pri...

How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

A 9-year old girl traveled to Florida for a vacation at Disney.

Then, she spent four months imprisoned in Texas.

Gutting story:

Yes, presenting it as if it's a hard counter-intuitive truth that only occurs to brilliant people like his readers, rather than the actual justification for like every war crime in modern history is especially annoying bsky.app/profile/wowt...

This is a great piece but to me it kinda elides the truly objectionable thing about THE BOMBER MAFIA: the point of Gladwell's story, the thing he is twisting the facts to argue for, is the idea (embodied by Curtis LeMay) that indiscriminate massacre of civilians in war is actively moral

I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutes I found a way to make AI tell you lies – and I'm not the only one.

Expelling kids who want to live here and censoring them so they cannot tell others about their treatment in ICE's concentration camps. Trump's white supremacist administration is destroying our future. #NoSecretPolice

Move quickly and break children

Not that passports are cheap, but certainly looks like a way to disenfranchise voters

Saving money by making it more likely people will die in the next pandemic. As long as the elites get protected, they feel the rest of us can die.

That is at least 500K new person beds in a year. ICE would desire shorter times in detention so they could detain and expel a million people a year.

Immigrants come here. They pay into social security. We don't give them a path to citizenship and ICE expels them. No taxation without representation isn't just for 1775.

If they build the infrastructure to deport 20 million immigrants yearning to breath free, they will use it on tens of millions more. Their social media posts boast of expelling 100 million people and they aim to do it. This is their plan.

“what we’re witnessing is…on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, & Chinese labor camps…The admin is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political & cultural prefs for generations”

The fascist sympathizers have trainings for warrior police and legislators to get their pro-rich, pro-authoritarian bills passed, but they complain about protestors learning how to use the tactics of civil disobedience, which were used in the revolution?

Them being clueless isn't going to save us. We need to break them up!

Crassus would be proud. Wondering when we get our own triumvirate.

So they can sue for $10 billion now, right?

couple weeks ago Matt Nelson @weratedogs.com spoke up for an immigrant who surrendered his furbaby before self-deporting. in this latest clip he dragged Amazon/Ring's #SuperBowl ad so hard Bezos went crying to Lauren Sanchez

That Trump, a manipulative liar who corporate media continues to treat as reliable, would select a cabinet member who is also a manipulative liar is only unexpected to people working in corporate media.

Single best description of consumer use LLM tech yet

Serious. Sure, seriously corrupt.

The disks are in a drawer, in the trash or given to ICE brownshirts for their personal use. They don't care about human rights, rule of law or upholding the constitution they swore to protect. Fire them all!
