Since last year, the US has publicized a visa policy that targets & threatens people who study & report on online harms.
Yesterday @knightcolumbia.org & @protectdemocracy.org filed a lawsuit challenging this censorship policy on behalf of @thecoalition.bsky.social knightcolumbia.org/content/tech...

I put President Trump’s immigration enforcement officials on notice.
After he leaves office, federal agents and officials who have broken the law during this cruel mass deportation effort can still be prosecuted and held accountable for their violations of the Constitution and federal law.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
They're building concentration camps with my tax money Chuck. They're torturing children. They're murdering innocent people on the street. What are you doing.

That blacksky enables users in their community decide about how they want to go out and engage into a wider ecosystem is great, and i think fulfills the promise of the platform, and the needs of its users specifically. Like that's kind of what this has been about since the beginning.
If they are going to be purists, shouldn't they ban the marathon, since that was a sport that emerged from a war, or biathlon, which involves skiing and sharpshooting, and has had modern military purpose?
Never mind the sports that involve beating up your opponent...

We're working to quash this subpoena to protect our client's First Amendment rights.
Look at this: @inquirer.com has digitally preserved the interpretative signage removed by NPS, and used annotations to explain what specifically was flagged before removal. This keeps the content publicly accessible (for now) while doing newsworthy reporting

Must-see. Despicable conditions plainly reported. No wonder the Trumpists want to quash it.
“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their
stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”
Experts say we have months not years to organize the type of mass protest needed to avoid authoritarianism and fascist rule taking hold in the United States.
And what is Congress doing? Introducing a repeal of Section 230, the law that underpins all free speech on the Internet
It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.
I hope if you're shopping today, you stop by a local indie bookstore. Here's my list of my favorite 25 books from this past year, some old, some new, fiction, history, and current events — something for almost anyone on your list (and, of course, yourself!): www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/my-favorit...

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.
