This company is so uniquely toxic and awful.
Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

Interesting detail:
In trying to frame Leqaa Kordia sending money to her family in Palestine as supporting Hamas, DHS claims she's financially aided "individuals living in nations hostile to the US."
Are they conflating Hamas with Palestine — and also inadvertently recognizing Palestine as a state?

First, the Trump administration said it detained Leqaa Kordia for an immigration violation.
Then, they used her participation in a pro-Palestine Columbia protest to justify it.
Now, they say she supports Hamas because she sent money to family in Palestine.
She has been detained for nearly a year:

Leqaa Kordia's family worries about her health after she was briefly hospitalized last week. DHS refused to give them information about her condition and she is still 'very sick.'

Josh D’Amaro was the obvious choice to be the next Disney CEO from the start. Obviously being CEO is different than being Chaiman of Disney Parks and Experiences but his love for the parks is obvious. I’m really curious to see what happens with them in his tenure as CEO.

It's not incompetence: Patel and Bongino know truth is irrelevant, and all that matters is what people believe to be true. Research shows that whatever people hear FIRST is what they will believe going forward, regardless if they hear corrected information later. They shape reality deliberately.
