What happens when the unthinkable comes to your own backyard?

My cousin lives there, and she and her husband announced two years ago they never want children.

JD Vance Is Awfully Close With These Race Science Guys Government data is being used to normalize and mainstream race science

JD Vance's online buddies are using data from NIH studies to advance and normalize race science and no one seems to care. I'm losing my mind.

Why ad blockers are a top security and privacy defense for everyone Ad blockers can help defend against some of the top hacks, scams, and surveillance today. Here are some of the best ad blockers that you can use.

The good news is that hidden web tracking "pixels" are relatively easy to defeat. It's also why using an ad-blocker is one of the top pieces of security advice I give anyone, as ad-blockers help to reduce surveillance and online tracking, while helping to keep you safer from malware.

Here's why:

How tech giants track you across the web, even if you don't use their apps Ad tech giants use near-invisible "pixels" on web pages to track what you do online, even if you don't have an account or use their apps. Thankfully, there is a solution.

I wrote some words for this.weekinsecurity.com about how social media giants (aka: ad tech companies!) track you around the web, even if you don't have an account or use their apps. Follows from a brilliant column in the BBC about TikTok's use of website "pixels" to track people's browsing activity.

Republicans and anti-voting activists are pushing misleading claims about Michigan’s voter rolls, saying many noncitizens are registered and rolls are β€œinflated.” Experts say this relies on cherry-picked data and distorts facts to attack election officials. #Indivisible

SB 76 is moving fast, and the House could vote on the bill as early as this Thursday (Feb. 12). Call your state representative today and tell them to vote NO on SB 76.

Video of the ICE-kidnapping victim under a sheet. You will also hear the officer say he saw them moving. I am inclined to believe the person was alive.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβ€”an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

As I shot my daughter, I heard a loud β€œbang” noise that indicated that a bullet came out of the gun that I had pointed at her, wow. Why did liberals do this to me.

Indiana legislators are considering a bill to eliminate college degrees that don’t exist.

Senate Bill 199 would force public colleges to cut any major where graduates earn less than high school grads β€” except there are no such majors...

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.

The census determines how many congressional representatives each state receives and how critical resources are allocated.

Everyone must be counted.

BREAKING: We're asking to join a lawsuit to defend against Missouri's attempt to exclude undocumented people and people living here on temporary visas from the census count.

The Constitution requires counting the whole number of people living in each state, not just citizens.
