“We need a comprehensive federal privacy law that covers this sort of data collection and misuse,” EFF’s @thorinklosowski.com told @theverge.com. That means requiring opt-in consent, no deceptive design tricks, & data minimization that limits companies to only what’s needed to provide the service.

Clarke: It’s hard to take Justice Thomas and Justice Alito seriously. They are not engaged in independent interpretation of the law or our Constitution. They are solely focused on putting their thumb on the scale of Donald Trump’s agenda each and every time.

Ossoff: "Here are Qs I have: is it the case that Kremlev was in China with Putin just days before he attended the wedding and gave what appears to have been a lavish gift to the president's son? And what are his ties to Russia's security services?...these folks are not just corrupt. They're clowns."

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Note to media: police arresting peaceful protesters singing “give peace a chance” is not protesters “clashing” with police. It’s the state violating the First Amendment rights of people upset that human beings who did nothing illegal are being held without due process and being fed maggots.

Homeland Security is lying? Say it ain’t so!
Screenshot of an X post from immigration lawyer Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@R...) calling out a Homeland Security claim as false. He asserts that Congress intentionally created the adjustment of status process in 1960 - not as a loophole - and that USCIS's own website states it was designed to allow immigrants already in the U.S. to obtain green cards without having to travel abroad. He includes a screenshot of the relevant USCIS website language with the key passage highlighted, and embeds the DHS post he is rebutting.
