Four children in one Idaho family died after their parents chose prayer over medical care. The state’s religious exemption helped shield that neglect from intervention. Religious freedom should never mean children get fewer protections under the law. www.propublica.org/article/idah...

Four Kids in One Faith-Healing Family Died. Authorities Could Do Nothing.

Revolut recently banned using GrapheneOS without any justification. They're falsely claiming to do be doing it for security reasons. In reality, they're enforcing licensing Google Play. Revolut doesn't enforce security standards. It runs on Android 9 with no patches since 2018.

Trump can’t get the Save America Act passed nationally, so his sycophants are trying to pass it at the state level. Prop 39 in California is a trojan horse to enable Trump to restrict voting at the state level. Vote NO.

This is naked religious bigotry. We’re no fans of religion, but a sitting U.S. senator smearing a Muslim candidate as a “terrorist” simply because of his faith is disgraceful.

Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It's completely ridiculous and they've gradually become very slow at handling requests. They're in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.

This paper is inaccurate slop. It makes a large number of clearly inaccurate claims about GrapheneOS and presents results which are verifiably false. It's filled with nonsense which appears AI generated. > The Clone Strikes Back: Efficient Vulnerable Code Detection in Custom Android-based Systems

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Breaking: A federal judge just shut down Trump’s effort to ban the IRS from auditing the taxes of him, his family members, and his companies. The judge has accused Trump of corruption and has referred Trump’s attorney for disciplinary action. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump gets the "FIFA Peace Prize." Months later his DOJ drops a bribery case involving FIFA officials. FIFA "leases" office space at Trump Tower NYC that reportedly sits empty. Meanwhile, federal regulators look the other way as FIFA price gouges fans. Where's the red card when you need it?

Since they tried to bury it, you know what to do. Video: xcancel.com/patriottakes...
Screenshot of a PatriotTakes post on X describing a 6-minute Republican opposition video outlining Ken Paxton's corruption, originally distributed by the NRSC, that has since been made unlisted on YouTube. The post includes a still from the video showing a black-and-white image of Paxton with a graphic reading "2011 - TEXAS STATE REPRESENTATIVE" and text describing Paxton soliciting investments in a technology company called Servergy while serving in that role.

Listened to parts of some tracks -- lovely, unexpected progressions, dipping into the edges of 'prog' which I love; intriguing lyrics. Purchased, I'll be looking forward to listening to the whole album tomorrow!
