Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law a measure to ban anyone from marrying anyone under the age of 18, making California the 18th state to do so in a decade-long nationwide push to outlaw the practice. cal.news/3U3J14X 📸 Rahul Lal

The California Legislature has failed several times since 2022 to regulate technology for automatically tracking vehicles — even as examples of abuse mount. This year was no exception. cal.news/3UyxIlg 📸 Khari Johnson
California lawmakers have tried and failed five times since 2022 to regulate technology that tracks license plates. Meanwhile, a national backlash against the tech has gained momentum. A protester holds a sign while demonstrating on the corner of Broadway and 14th Street in Oakland on Aug. 20, 2026. Protesters gathered to call for a ban on automated license plate reader technology.

This victory is due to the indefatigable efforts of so many. Make no mistake – the litigation, open rescues, protests, pressure on authorities, press coverage, and efforts of rescue organizations all contributed to this.

1/ Five cases of New World screwworm have now been confirmed in the U.S., Texas has declared an emergency, and Canada immediately restricted livestock imports. Most people had never heard of screwworm until last week (or maybe just now). That's because we eradicated it from the U.S. in 1966.🧵

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."
V. CONCLUSION
An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A
masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to
challenge his conduct.
A regime of secret policing has no place in our society. Here, the Government’s power is
derived by the People, and the People must be able to identify the Government when it acts to
infringe on their liberty. Masks obscure government action and deprive the public of its Fourth
Amendment protections.
Therefore, the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, [ECF No. 26], is GRANTED. Petitioner
is ORDERED released immediately from civil immigration custody. Respondents are
PROHIBITED from re-arresting and detaining Petitioner absent significant change in
circumstances to justify detention or subject to the determination of a neutral and detached
decisionmaker.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

redeemer404 MOTHERFUCKER YOU HAVE THE INTERNET
Chive Lord, a r/KitchenConfidential user who claims to cut chives every day, is accused of fraud after two separate posts are revealed to be the same pile of chives; moderators get involved.
UPDATE: Chivelord has just posted an apology with the following text:
Hey everyone. I would just like to come out and apologize for post the same pile of chives twice, I was having car problems yesterday and was unable to get and cut chives, and rather than being upfront and honest with you guys I chose to repost chives. I didn't want to give you guys another chiveless day. I see now that it would have been better to just be honest and say no chives rather than try and lie, this also goes against the whole point of the posts, I would like to thank all of you for holding me accountable for my actions. I will be subjecting myself to a Reddit decided punishment, the most upvoted punishment that is REASONABLE will be my punishment. So nothing illegal nothing expensive please but cutting extra chives or maybe something I have to do for the rest of my posts. I again apologize and will ensure this never happens again.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."
