A recent Congressional letter accuses DHS of not being compliant with a major civil rights law due to the mistreatment of disabled ICE detainees. As I reported for @motherjones.com, this is worsened by the fact DHS' office for civil rights has TWO EMPLOYEES now.

DHS axed its civil rights staff—and opened the door to a major lawsuit
The agency is now barely pretending to follow disability law. Its former civil rights head says that makes ICE vulnerable.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

🚨 You may have seen the news that N Ireland has pulled out of the puberty blocker trial due to a judicial review attempting to halt it.

You may not have seen is that the lawsuit is funded by a global anti-abortion Christian Right group. My investigation: goodlawproject.org/from-russia-...

Valentine's Day is always conflicting because on one hand, it's great we're celebrating love. But it's a reminder that a lot of disabled people can't have a partner because they could lose their disability benefits that keep them alive.

My daughter asks me often if X or Y person is problematic, and I've time she brought up Bowie.

I knew about the lyric in China Girl, but googling around that didn't turn up anything like what's covered in this article.

Time to learn
John Lennon tried to get Hitler on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's. David Bowie wanted to make a film about Goebbels — and owned his desk.

@support.bsky.team What are the odds we get a feature that lets us store the images we attach to skeets along with the alt-text so that we can use them easily and include detailed and meaningful alt-text automatically?

I need to go back to rewatch the Dunkin ad because for some reason, the only person who stood out was Aniston - to me she looked like a composite special effect.

My brain didn't catch on to the de-aging because to my brain, they looked older than they did in their original shows?
