Wi-Fi exists because of a Hollywood movie star.
Hedy Lamarr.
Often called the mother of Wi-Fi, she co-invented frequency-hopping technology in 1942 that became the foundation of modern wireless communication.
Inventor. Actress. A mind far ahead of its time.

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

Trump tries to hide behind his wars but an entire city became a billboard. Epstein files. The client list. Projected across buildings for everyone to see. No one could look away. No one could scroll past. The streets became the screen. This is what happens when the internet goes outside!
RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
This video is a great one to watch.

I think the fun thing about the latest John Oliver episode is that he’s mainstreaming what has been common discourse here for months, in that if you’re a government official/reporter/someone who considers themselves a non-Nazi then what the FUCK are you still doing on X?
Don’t let Trump see this
“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

Way-hey! After concerted local pushback, New Jersey company decides not to contract with ICE:
"The contract with ICE will not move forward, a Holman spokesperson told Patch.
"I have been informed that we declined that particular body of work," the spokesperson said...

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
Trump, who says he had "no idea" at the time that Epstein sexually molested girls, told the police in 2006 that "everyone has known he’s been doing this.” That's according to an FBI interview with the then-Palm Beach police chief.

404 Media just had an ad during the #SuperBowl! We Googled "smallest TV markets in the United States" and bought an ad for $2,550 that only ran in Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. That still counts

Wyoming's Breezy Johnson became the second American woman ever to win the Olympic gold medal in downhill skiing Sunday, joining Lindsey Vonn as only Americans to accomplish the feat.
Johnson finished in 1:36.1 to earn the first Olympic medal of her career. nbcnews.to/3NVy1mW
Lindsey Vonn did not crash because of her ACL.
I got up early this morning to watch the women's downhill event at the Olympics. I watched the whole event, from the pre-show to Team USA's Breezy Johnson posting the gold-winning time to Lindsey Vonn being medevaced off the mountain.

In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000. on.wsj.com/3ZUmCq1
We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Alex Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.

I'm so glad Rep Casten is in Congress.
A fanatical child rapist supporter decided to hurl racists insults and attack a teenage girl after she insulted his dear leader Donald Trump, he was then immediately beaten by a crowd of children and teens.
Naah, I want them on trial.
We have now confirmed the facility ICE purchased in Washington County. ICE’s covert acquisition of a warehouse in historic Williamsport - carried out without transparency, community input, or accountability - is unacceptable.

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.
