Hawaii Democrats are showing us how to get money out of politics.
THIS IS WHY!!!! WE CALL!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE 🩷 KOSA did pass the house but remember the senate has a conflicting version. Keep calling, it matters!
SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!
🚨 KOSA UPDATE The added "duty of care" standard would force websites to identify minors to avoid legal risk, pushing the internet toward ID checks, facial scans, mass age-gating, excessive data collection and censorship FOR EVERYONE. Next comes a full Senate vote. Contact your senators NOW. (1/2)
The Senate Commerce Committee just passed KOSA out of committee with zero debate & failed to move the SCREEN Act. punchbowl.news/article/tech...
Hey, you know what? I want people to eat. People I don't know and will never meet deserve access to good food. I'd much rather pay for this than give tax breaks to data centers.
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Weird Al Yankovic dares to be stupid and never succumbs to the AI madness. Good for him!
"Weird Al" Yankovic has always been a real one. Just learned that he very recently turned down "a nice pile of money" to shill for A.I. Damn right he did. @alyankovic.bsky.social www.syracuse.com/entertainmen...
In the most literal sense, this took me 30 seconds. Please do this right now. Do not put it off.

While this is good news, let's be clear: Transferring people from "Alligator Alcatraz" to other abusive ICE facilities still puts them in danger. No one should have to endure the horrific conditions people faced inside this facility and continue to face in ICE custody across the country.
BREAKING: Governor DeSantis announced that "Alligator Alcatraz" has officially shut down. Through community pushback and litigation pressure, we the people successfully closed the chapter on this facility's dark record. But as people are moved to other facilities, accountability is still needed.
This is the kind of tech innovation I want to see. Slightly less convenience (both parties must have their browsers open for the duration of the transfer) for way more peace of mind (nobody else can see, monetize, or train robots off your files).

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.
NEWS: The leaders of the House Energy and Commerce Committee will unveil a bipartisan deal Monday on guardrails for protecting kids against online harms, including a long-sought compromise on the Kids Online Safety Act. @benbrodydc.bsky.social has the details: punchbowl.news/article/tech...
Unchecked AI data centers are driving up electricity bills for families while using massive amounts of power and water. The Sanders-AOC moratorium would put a stop to the worst projects. Click here to urge Congress to get it done!

Attorney General Rob Bonta (of California) wrote: "The merger of Warner Bros and Paramount is not a done deal and remains under investigation by my office." Attorneys General in other Blue states are also seeing if they can put a stop to this merger. Europe could also act to stop it. copy […]

Look at dis and contact ya reps about how bad this is if it helps Kosa passing would mean almost every site online especially social media and YouTube or such will need ID verification and it won't be optional x.com/i/status/206...
ive had like, so little time, energy, or interest to do personal art the past several weeks, I barely have this little goober to show (it's an attempt at a sona of sorts)
Social media companies can't tell if users are genuine or AI anymore which is why Meta/Facebook/Instagram is spending big cash on congress to pass the Verify ID laws just for you to use your own computer. They want your data so they can sell it and profit. jsis.washington.edu/news/faceboo...
