And, if you are a non-US citizen who did this work, you and your entire family will be banned from the United States. (I know this is incredible, but read the order—that’s what it says!)
If you were a tech company employee who moderated content overseas — say, trying to prevent a repeat of the Myanmar genocide! or maybe policing CSAM! Or hate speech illegal in your country! — you are a “censor” under the definitions of the Republicans in power.

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.

US SEC hands victory to IPO issuers who want to avoid class-action lawsuits
A divided Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday handed a victory to companies that want to shield themselves from investor class action lawsuits, making it easier for firms seeking to go public to require that investors resolve claims of fraud or other false statements through arbitration rather than in court.

The US President’s attempt to seize control of our statutorily independent central bank—beyond being illegal—turns out to have been based on a fabrication.
The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.
Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.
These docs show she did not.
