rare good news! @teenvogue.com

Arkansas is the 2nd-most climate vulnerable state: extreme heat, tornadoes, and low investment in climate adaptation from its Republican legislature—not to mention home to Walmart's Walton family and Tyson Foods.

these young ppl launched a group to make the fight fun

Young People Are Using Parties and Free Menstrual Cups to Fight Climate Anxiety

A 2024 survey of 15 to 25 year olds found that 60% are "extremely worried" about the climate crisis; more than 40% say climate anxiety affects their mental health.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people.

Forced Consent & Consent Bypass

16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone.

Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material.

It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

As Hillsborough book battle unfolds, other districts wonder who’s next

Florida school boards are weighing the state’s push to bypass standard reviews to remove controversial books.

This is pretty nuts. I don’t care whether ur in the guard or reserves. DNI is a full time job. You can’t not be available during a major nat sec crisis. More obvious explanation is that she was close to the Assad regime and Russia and they may simply not trust her to be there.
