Purple graphic with text "Instead of prioritizing helping our communities recover from disastrous flooding, Texas politicians are trying to weaken the electoral power of Black, Brown, and Asian American voters." Above the text is a photo of a street flooded, with cars floating in the water.

People in Texas face real issues like disaster recovery and prevention, water shortages, and an unreliable energy grid. But certain state politicians are wasting time and resources trying to redraw our electoral maps to further disenfranchise communities of color.

We deserve better.

BREAKING: We're suing the state of New Hampshire to challenge a new law that seeks to ban DEI programs pertaining to race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability in schools.

This is an assault on students' rights and a violation of federal laws protecting students with disabilities.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

Accessible Voting is Under Attack 35 Years After the ADA | ACLU From restrictive legislation to inaccessible polling places, barriers persist that undermine the rights of voters with disabilities.

Equitable access to the ballot isn't a privilege — it's a right protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

35 years after the ADA was signed into law, we're still fighting to eliminate barriers to accessible elections for voters with disabilities.

a scene in the animated lord of the rings movie. Gandalf the grey is standing in a lush green forest, wearing grey robes, and a blue pointy wizard's hat while wielding a staff. He's pointing up as if to think of something, and the image is captioned "It's never too late to start something over, including a new version of yourself."

I need a hug so fucking bad bro.

Bro this couple across from me in the DMV are two of the most miserable people Ive ever heard.

ICE moves to shackle some 180,000 immigrants with GPS ankle monitors A June 9 memo directed ICE field officers to significantly expand the number of immigrants under round-the-clock surveillance.

This is a dangerous expansion of the police state for nearly 180,000 people.

Placing those going through the legal process — our neighbors and loved ones — under 24/7 government surveillance is a gross violation of our civil liberties.

This is an important win for democracy that came as a result from a case brought by @nativerights.bsky.social and @campaignlegal.org.

The UK is launching ‘porn age checks’. This is what will happen The UK is about to launch some of the strongest checks on pornography in the world.

It's not just "porn" sites. As of midnight, any site that allows NSFW is now legally required in the UK to bar visitors unless they present a govt ID, submit to a biometric scan, or otherwise identify themselves.

That means Discord, Bluesky, Reddit, X.

The anonymous internet is now closed.
