“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, born on this day in 1905, on our search for meaning brainpickings.org/2013/03/26…

Imagine if the Starr Report had been provided only to President Clinton's Attorney General, Janet Reno, who then read it privately and published a 4-page letter based on her private reading stating her conclusion that President Clinton committed no crimes.

No polling place exists in Dodge City, Kansas, a majority Hispanic city of 27,000. Voting takes place at just one location. Not only is it outside of town, it’s a mile walk from the nearest bus stop. To vote you have to get the hell out of Dodge. kansas.com/news/business/art…

"When a user gives Facebook a phone number for two-factor authentication or in order to receive alerts about new log-ins to a user’s account, that phone number became targetable by an advertiser within a couple of weeks." gizmodo.com/facebook-is-givi…

Facebook Is Giving Advertisers Access to Your Shadow Contact Information

Last week, I ran an ad on Facebook that was targeted at a computer science professor named Alan Mislove. Mislove studies how privacy works on social

Ugggghhh. Facebook confirms what @kashhill reported: Facebook is taking phone numbers given to them for two factor authentication and using them for ad targeting. Gross and completely irresponsible. gizmodo.com/facebook-is-givi…

Arming teachers = more gun sales = more profits for gun manufacturers = more money for the NRA = more money for Republican politicians.

Watching a teenager fundamentally challenge Rubio’s talking points feels like watching a generation call B.S. on a whole form of politics. For years, Rubio’s weakness has always been inauthenticity, but no journalist (including this one) has evoked it as vividly.

How much is your freedom to carry a gun worth? Express it in units of schoolchildren.

This #SOTU speech marks a milestone in Trump's effort to steer the GOP toward reducing not only undocumented but also legal #immigration. Congress R's may balk at the most restrictive legislation, but he is sending a clear message to Asian, Hispanic & other immigrant communities

At no time in history have there been back-to-back marches with millions taking to the streets, and yet our media seems to have zero interest in exploring the Resistance and what is actually happening in America. Can you imagine what would happen if a million white men marched?

This is sickening and disingenuous. Immigrants are much more likely to have a college degree than people born in the US: google.com/amp/amp.slate.com… xitter.gq/foxnews/status/9534418…

AG Jeff Sessions on immigration reform: "What good does it do to bring in somebody who's illiterate in their own country, has no skills, & is going to struggle in our country & not be successful? That is not what a good nation should do, and we need to get away from it."

"The last person to trust with power is someone who is dying to have it. The best person to wield power is someone who is reluctant to do so, but who will do it for a while as a civic duty. That is why term limits should make it impossible to have a whole career in politics."

65 Senators just voted to expand an unconstitutional law permitting Trump to spy on communications with one leg in the US–without a warrant. For the next six years, any unencrypted internet request that even touches a US border will be "ingested" (intercepted) and parsed by NSA. xitter.gq/EFF/status/95404876600…

Replying to @EFF
The bill, S. 139, is a disaster for our constitutional rights. EFF vehemently opposes the passage of it. It allows the government to spy on its own citizens without justification.
