You’re on social media, so this should concern you.

The U.S. government has been asking platforms like Meta for user data.

You don’t have to be paranoid to see the problem. You just have to be paying attention. If you’re online, this includes you.

This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much we’ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.

Epstein files: DOJ says it logs Congress members' searches to 'protect' victim information Attorney General Pam Bondi and Rep. Pramila Jayapal exchanged sharp words at a hearing when Jayapal asked victims of Jeffrey Epstein about meeting with the DOJ.

The Trump Justice Department admits: It "logs all searches" by members of Congress who view the unredacted versions of the Epstein files on their data systems.

Climate crisis linked to fall in southern right whale birth rates as researchers raise ‘warning signal’ Lead author of Australian study says breeding slowdown is linked to climate-driven changes in ‘magnificent’ whale’s foraging grounds

After decades of recovery, southern right whales are showing signs of a climate-driven decline in breeding rates, which scientists say is a “warning signal” about changes in the Southern Ocean.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

Florida definitely has a major bike safety problem, but it’s not a “legal e-bikes operating over 10 mph” problem.
