the fact that this is functional in copilot is outrageous, since copilot is integrated into the operating system. there's also the assumption of privacy which is a different topic (the absence of privacy rights). the AI was rolled out and put in front of consumers before regulations were in place.

i've read that his car was rammed, and according to the AP, the ICE officers didn't flash their lights or anything. the immigrant then tried to park, and they rammed him again and shot him in the neck. how is this even remotely necessary? CBP One ended after he was already legally admitted.

Authoritarian governments are always looking for more ways to control people. They do this via censorship and surveillance to control what we can say, what we learn, and how we act. VPNs allow us to circumvent both of these methods of control online. We need your help to defend these tools!

as we approach the holidays, it's important to me to be able to enjoy time with my family, but it is equally important to keep the Palestinians in my mind, as we are approaching three years of genocide. Israel and the West and the East are still killing Palestinian children. they are still killing.

i know when we were protesting the southern leg of the KXL pipeline, spills/leaks were a major concern with the Ogallala aquifer. we need to preserve what is left of our shoreline and waterways, not virtually guarantee their destruction.

does this involve input from Israel's monitoring of US social media accounts? it's obvious that the US is just having Israel surveil us since a warrant is required under US law (FISA courts govern interactions with foreign citizens). the inclusion of "grievances" and "conspiracy theories" is new.

under int'l law, according to John Mearsheimer, Palestinians are almost expected to fight back, to cast off their military occupiers, since it's been a military occupation since 1967. the expectation that they should voluntarily emigrate or not defend themselves is not expected of any other country.

excellent summary of Israel's experimentation on the Palestinian people for surveillance and military purposes. they've been militarily occupying Palestine since 1967. Hamas didn't even exist until 1987, after 20 years. if a US city was subjected to military occupation, we'd defend ourselves, too.

🟢 Hamas said Sunday it remains committed to the 15-point Gaza roadmap agreed with mediators and the U.S.-led Board of Peace, placing its position in direct contrast with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public rejection of the plan.

🔹 Hamas renewed its commitment to “serious and responsible engagement” in implementing the roadmap and called for a clear timetable.

🔹 It said the priorities were a complete ceasefire, an end to Israeli attacks, completion of Israel’s withdrawal, reopening the crossings and allowing in aid and shelter materials.

🔹 The movement also called for reconstruction to begin and for Gaza’s national committee to assume its responsibilities.

🔹 Hamas urged mediators, guarantors and the Board of Peace to enforce compliance by all parties and prevent violations that could obstruct or undermine the ceasefire agreement.

Hamas said it would keep engaging “positively and responsibly.”
