Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups & reproductive health organisations in the past weeks. It's what campaigners call one of the “biggest waves of censorship” on its platforms in years.

From 2005 to 2012, one CBP officer or agent was arrested for corruption, crimes, or misconduct EVERY SINGLE DAY. By 2019, it had slowed to just one every 35 hours. Still a huge problem:
“A U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent allegedly used his gun and badge to force his way into hotel rooms and rob and sexually assault at least four prostitutes in Chicago’s suburbs in 2022, according to federal charges made public Tuesday.”

Letting AI decide whether or not you can get the treatment your real-life doctor thinks you need? Nobody is asking for this. It's an irresponsible dangerous gamble by the Trump Administration.
A new Medicare pilot program is about to launch that will let private companies use AI to review requests for certain medical care — and reward companies when they deny claims.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
