Exclusive: We obtained a leaked playbook that Flock gives to cops to coach them on "how to speak to city council" to avoid getting their contracts canceled. Includes strategies like "own the narrative" by talking to mayor "before public comment periods" www.404media.co/own-the-narr...

"Usually, Google Earth is an exceptionally useful tool for ... analysts to digitally monitor areas of interest and see how they change over time, say, during a conflict or disaster. Now, Google Earth can easily be used as a tool for disinformation." @404media.co www.404media.co/google-earth...

Google Earth’s New AI Lets Anyone Fabricate Completely Bullshit Satellite Images

Every time someone calls Hegseth's testosterone program or Elon's hair plugs "gender affirming care," I wince. Speaking only for myself, and I know the jokes are well-intentioned: I wish we'd retire this one. New from me on why. www.readtpa.com/p/theres-no-...

There’s No Gotcha Here

Calling Hegseth’s testosterone program "gender-affirming care" trivializes trans healthcare and misreads what we’re up against. Speaking only for myself: knock it off

And an ongoing reminder that ICE kidnappings have been up nationwide, including in LA, during the World Cup. LA's Immigrant Defenders Law Center received 900 calls in June, the second-highest number in a year. "These things are still happening. They're just not happening at SoFi Stadium"

During World Cup, LA advocates have received uptick in calls for help with ICE

Despite concerns, ICE has not been conducting visible enforcement at the tournament. But immigration arrests are continuing elsewhere.

Remember how FIFA Gianni Infantino was reportedly making a deal with the Trump administration to pause ICE raids during the World Cup? There isn't a targeted siege like last summer, but ICE has been accelerating its kidnappings during the last week

I’m so sad to share that yesterday was my last day at Scientific American. It was an honor to work alongside my incredible colleagues and to speak with researchers across the sciences. If you’re looking to hire staff or freelance, please consider me and my other laid off coworkers (🧵)

"There was breathless excitement both outside the theater and onstage at the Q&A about how this film only cost $2000 to make. It still looks like the filmmakers overpaid to disrespect both the dead and the living, stealing their stories and enshittifying true events." www.avclub.com/dreams-of-vi...

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

The Voting Rights Act is essentially dead and it’s quite possible that we will, like when a similar SCOTUS gutted civil rights at the fall of Reconstruction, see a disappearance of much of the Black congressional representation, especially in the most heavily Black states, which are in the South.
