The CIA's Long and Dangerous History of Refusing to Answer Absurdly Obvious Questions

The implications of Connell v. CIA and how we’re holding the CIA accountable for its actions at the Guantánamo Bay military prison.

I don't like to say it but in Malaysia I felt like I was breathing again. I felt like things were made for Human life.
Here in the States it feels like our environment is never about making our lives easier (and certainly not better).
It's aggressive. It's hostile.

I didn't leave the States for 10 years and now I almost wish I hadn't because I had forgotten what it was like not just being able to walk everywhere in a city but actually enjoying walking in a city.

I don't regret moving to the States.
As a trans non-binary person this is still the best place to be even with all the hatred we face.
But it's also one of the most dehumanizing living environment I've ever seen.

Had any of you read the Haugen/Facebook papers, you’d know:

Meta enabled #genocide, boosted polarising misinformation, created shadow profiles of their users, exploited their algorithms so much that it caused mental health issues in young teenagers (there are lawsuits!), sold out women who had abortions to the #police in #USA, did the Cambridge analytica thing, sold user data to thousands of data firms, and more, much more — if you think this corporation has your best interests in mind, idk.

A powerful explosion thundered in a residential building in the suburbs of Washington

How come WE don't have that?!
What's the rationale for denying us the right to stuffed cookies?!
I demand answers!
