🇵🇸 Journalist Bisan Owda loses her TikTok Account to platform censorship — which she points out Netanyahu openly said would come.
Why is the TikTok discourse ignoring this part?🤔

Paramount+ cancellation feedback form with multiple-choice reasons and typed comment explaining decision under ‘Other,’ plus buttons Back and Complete Cancellation.
Paramount+ account page confirming subscription canceled; notice states access ends Nov 11 2025 and includes Resume Subscription button.
While I'll miss access to Star Trek, it was past time to cancel Paramount+ / CBS / whatever they are now. The cancelling of Colbert, installing Bari Weiss to lead CBS News combined with the subsequent corporate consolidation of media with the resulting layoffs were just too much.

Hulu acknowledgement that my subscription will be cancelled.
I'll be sad to lose access to a couple shows but it was time to cancel Hulu, Disney, and HBO Max (or whatever they are calling it now). I just increased my sustaining memberships to PBS and NPR.
All they had to do to circumvent the 1st Amendment was outsource the censorship to the oligarchs.
The oligarchs have seized control of not only the media but the very platforms and algorithms used to disseminate information itself.

UC Berkeley betrayed their own faculty, including Jewish academics like Judith Butler, to the Trump administration

To be clear, ICE is going after nonwhite immigrants of all backgrounds with and without model minority credentials, especially brown ones, but this should be a screaming alert that Asians are not as protected by perceived white-adjacent status as many of us think
From 3D printers to a facsimile of the Book of Kells, explore these unique libraries around Arizona.
"I am not some sleek, futuristic glyph. I am the battered, coffee-stained backbone of writerly panic—the gasping pause where a thought should have ended but simply could not."
The Supreme Court said it was unlawful for the Biden administration to forgive student loans because it lacked congressional authority but has no problem with the Trump administration gutting the entire Department of Education without congressional approval. This is a lawless court.
Thanks to everyone who visited the Kids Need to Read booth! You made Phoenix Fan Fusion a grand success! We gave free prizes from the Wheel of Literacy to the kids. We had raffles for uniquely geeky loot. Thanks to all of the generous folks who donated the bounty of prizes.

This #EarthDay I did my small part by commuting on my bike. I have been doing this three times a week which saves at least 60 miles of driving. It's actually fewer miles on my bike because of the route.
NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means.
They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.
