Recording law enforcement while on duty in public — and sharing that information — is protected by the First Amendment.

Social media companies like Meta shouldn't be interfering with that right.

Meta removes Facebook page that tracked ICE in Chicago

Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post on X that “following outreach” from the DOJ, Facebook removed a “large group page” that was being used to target ICE officials.

I am shocked - SHOCKED I SAY! - that nobody could have predicted this was going to the inevitable outcome of Hamas releasing the Israeli prisoners.

Leavitt: "The president tapped into tariff revenue to keep WIC money going out the door. He found a creative solution to keep the troops paid. And rather than congratulate him for doing that, this unprecedented action to get our troops paid, Dems want to sue him for it. They're saying it's illegal."

Glenn Beck says that after he aired a show on Antifa, FBI agents acting on the behest of Kash Patel came to get tips. Here's who the segment targeted, largely through strained connections and guilt by association: www.mediamatters.org/glenn-beck/g...

I just read the article, but it does seem plausible that if all the cold intergalactic gas is not being properly accounted for in the equations (and there’s A LOT) then maybe this tension issue goes away.

Apropos of the whole “AC is elitist” conversation - there is actual science about keeping the ambient temp at 72F/22C.

“Research consistently shows that our brains function best, and we’re in our best moods, when the thermostat is set to around 70 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit…”

The Science of Thermostat Settings

There's an ambient temperature that's particularly good for our mental state.
