They did this to a sitting United States Senator for simply asking a question for the 40 million Americans he represents. While national news camera were rolling.

Imagine what they're doing to the most vulnerable among us.

We'll see you at a NO KINGS protest this Saturday. ✊🏽
Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed.

Just the @datarescueproject.org getting highlighted in @timemagazine.bsky.social No big deal.

Teaming up to preserve at-risk public data, from FEMA to the Dept. of Ed., this collaboration is putting transparency back in the spotlight. @iassistdata.bsky.social @icpsr.bsky.social

Could’ve asked a librarian.🤷‍♀️

An expert on the Library of Congress tells Rolling Stone that Trump’s takeover attempt is “dangerous,” given that the Library’s sub-agencies provide confidential legal advice to members of Congress and help police misconduct by lawmakers.

Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis.

It is surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

Major AI firms like OpenAI, which Elon Musk co-founded, are facing ongoing lawsuits over alleged unauthorized use of copyrighted materials in their model training.
