Welp, since no one commented on the problem I was having with #firefox, at least the #linux version and DNS over HTTPS (maybe I was the only person on Earth affected?), I'll follow it up to say that the latest version on my system updated yesterday. Lo and behold, the problem has now been fixed […]

Did the latest update of #firefox and #LibreWolf change the format needed for the DNS host specification in the DoH Custom form? Neither of these browsers works for me now using the previous format, such as 1.0.0.1/dns-query for one of the Cloudflare DNS servers. Am I the only user […]

Elon Musk Lackeys Have Taken Over the Office of Personnel Management
Sources tell WIRED that the OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin.

The opening of my Heads Up Newsletter today -- 6 bullet points about what ICE has done in just the past week -- should really freak you out. It's monstrous. www.headsupnews.org/p/ice-is-bar...

ICE is barreling ahead. What can a Democratic congress do to stop it?
They shoot people, disappear people, and build more cages. Democrats need a plan to rein them in.

Dying in Detention
The 73-page report, “Dying in Detention: Rising Deaths in an Expanding US Immigration Detention System,” documents the increasing number of deaths in ICE custody through expert statistical and medical analysis, exposing a rising mortality rate and raising serious questions about the adequacy of the health care provided by ICE and its contracted personnel. The increase in the mortality rate comes as the Trump administration is subjecting record numbers of immigrants to mandatory detention, including in inhuman and degrading conditions, while gutting internal oversight mechanisms.

Single-serve solutions like term limits for justices, stronger ethics codes or even packing the court with more justices won’t be good enough. Reform must also include structural changes like accountability mechanisms, addressing money in politics & redistributing consolidated power, experts said.

CBS news was what made me aware of the war in Viet Nam. It's what gave me the moon landing and the Watergate scandal. I was too young for Murrow's "good night and good luck", but vividly remember Cronkite's "and that's the way it is." All that trust, squandered in no time at all.
