Every face scan is a “unique opportunity” to assert your rights, EFF’s Saira Hussain told @huffpost.com. If more people keep declining face scans, maybe TSA will think twice “about whether it’s actually effective to roll out programs like these.”

Being disabled is not a moral failing, character flaw, or result of bad “personal choices”. We all become disabled eventually. Clean water, safe food & a healthy environment are great. Everyone deserves access to them. But they will NOT cure disability. Pushing rhetoric that they will is eugenics

Telling. Quantity of male versus female dialogue in best picture films of recent decades (by @puddingviz)
A horizontal bar graph titled "Men speak most in best picture winning films," showing the proportion of words spoken by male and female characters in Best Picture Oscar winners from 1991 to 2016. The graph displays the year and film title, followed by two horizontal bars for each film, representing the percentage of words spoken by women (purple) and men (dark blue). The graph visually demonstrates that male characters consistently have a higher proportion of spoken words compared to female characters across most of the films listed.

In the face of oppression, enslaved women in the antebellum South wore braids as acts of resistance. Braids, often seen as maps to freedom, carried secret meanings. This subtle yet powerful symbol challenged slavery. 146 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

Signalgate is not resolved. Do your job. Take a lesson about unsuitable nominees
Text SIGN PLKYEG to 50409 — Signalgate is not over; I am horrified by the disregard for the safety of our troops and proper procedures and horrified by the response from Hegseth, Gabbard, Ratcliffe and the White House: lies, denials, deflections, "cannot remembers" from people tasked with grasp of detail and personal attacks on the journalist and his wife. Nothing less than a full investigation, resignations or impeachments and criminal referrals is needed. Look at the noise Pete Hegseth made about Hillary's emails. This scandal is of an entirely different scale-- perhaps the worst intelligence leak in 100 years. This should be a lesson to the senate: stop confirming unqualified uncredentialed nominees without the reputation for personal integrity in all aspects of their lives required for those with grave responsibilities. No more unanimous consent. Demand a higher standard.
