I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, Iโ€™m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

The Egg Yolk Principle: Human Sexuality Will Always Outsmart Prudish Algorithms and Hateful Politicians Anti-porn laws can't stop porn, but they can stop free speech. In the meantime, people will continue to get off to anything and everything.

This is so good. "You will never, ever put human sexuality in a box. The idea that someone like Mike Lee wants to try is not only absurd, itโ€™s scary: a ruse set up for social control."

Yeah. The NYTimes story is loaded with material that is defamation "per se" under many states' laws (including Texas), which would turbocharge any lawsuit Musk brought, removing his need to prove damages.

NYTimes' counsel knows that. To print it, they must have immaculate sources.

12/ OH WOW #WhatsApp publishes the transcribed NSO Group Depositions.

An unprecedented view for investigators into NSO's business, exploit development, operations & financials.

Nothing like this has ever been made public about any spyware company.

BREAKING: jury awards massive $167 million in punitive damages against spyware company NSO Group.

Precedent-setting win against notorious #Pegasus spyware maker.

Very consequential for victims to see this.

Congratulations to #WhatsApp on sticking this case through since 2019. Some thoughts 1/

Part of the lesson here is that Trumpists, like many bullies, donโ€™t handle it well if you stand up to them rather than caving. If Trump or Vance or their supporters had any character this petulant display and Zelenskyyโ€™s defiance would be humiliating to them.

I feel bad for the large number of people who are honestly unaware that we are *in* a surge, given that a lot of places have basically given up testing, and only some places make wastewater monitoring data public.

Nebraska Mom Pleads Guilty to Giving Abortion Pills to Her Teen Daughter Jessica Burgess faced eight years in prison for helping her then 17-year-old get abortion pills. A plea deal brought it down to two.

Meta turned over their DMs, used as evidence to convict them on felony charges for accessing criminalized healthcare. Meta had the data so had to hand it over.

End to end encryption keeps people safe.
