NASA is being told to cancel 19 active missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE hiring/retention budget going forward. I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

“He’s easily bruising. He has bone pain. He looks pale .… He has also lost his appetite …. His mom is terrified that these are symptoms that his leukemia situation might be deteriorating.” A 6-year-old with cancer is languishing in a U.S. detention camp. Who will answer for this cruelty?

I need people to understand the Supreme Court is not the be-all and end-all of everything, even legal things. Abolitionist lawyers went into court and won freedom suits under the Fugitive Slave Act, after the Court upheld its constitutionality. They helped build a movement that dismantled the FSA.

Another point: Many know the Dred Scott decision but aren't as familiar with the aftermath and how states, courts, and politicians responded. 5 examples: 1) Many Northern/Midwest states just ignored the decision. 2) Maine’s high court said Black Americans could vote in state/federal elections. /1

It should make you nervous that the Court is deciding important questions of First Amendment law in ways that hinge on their very much non-expert assessment of whether a particular technology & business model is secure, private, and economically viable.

BREAKING: A major setback for a free and open Internet in Brazil. Today, the Supreme Court (STF) declared Art. 19 of the Marco Civil da Internet—the country's core platform "safe harbor"—partially unconstitutional. This is a fundamental shift in intermediary liability.

Alarming report from @josephcox.bsky.social @404media.co: ICE is deploying facial recognition for general field identifications. Using the tech in this manner is cavalier, careless, and supercharges risk of individuals being misidentified and improperly detained. Here’s some detailed on why...

Very interesting argument that limiting storage and use of personal information for ad targeting, recommender systems, and relevance ranking is the easiest path forward for reducing scams and propaganda online. Argues it is likely to survive legal challenges and will reduce scammers' profits.

What stage of creeping authoritarianism is it when we have masked secret police with no identification beating and kidnapping minorities in the streets to force them into prison camps with no rights and no due process? Seems like … a bad stage?
