Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday. We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.

ICE is searching a massive insurance and medical bill database to find deportation targets 🔗 www.404media.co/ice-is-searc...

And we wonder why legacy media is declining

Anyone else going full energy vampire mode today?

Really fascinating read. "The massive right-wing network you've never heard of," a network of dozens of sites controlled by a handful of guys who collectively get billions of views on rightwing propaganda headlines per day www.chaoticera.news/p/the-massiv...

USvGoogle 1: Two big “tells” at end of CEO Sundar Pichai’s direct this morning: Judge Mehta asked - if Google can keep paying for defaults, how could anyone, even MSFT, compete given its capital edge for this purpose? Then Google’s lawyer asked if best product always wins. 1/12

So uhhhh the Republicans are setting up a group who will decide who is living or considered dead? Is that what you call a death panel?

Offer. Any press in DC planning to cover FTC v Meta (4/14-7/3!!!), I’m happy to be paid with free ☕️ per 30 minutes to walk through the complaint, why it matters so much, Meta’s likely defense. With US v Google running concurrently a lot to track. Just DM me. Thx.

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

I just published story on secretive NYPD unit led by Eric Adams buddies Things they've done: Purposely crashed into motorcyclist, killing him Punched unarmed driver in head then kicked him Shoved a man into a car window after he protested stop WE HAVE VIDEOS www.propublica.org/article/eric...

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.

Happy now Zuck? META Board Member embraces Trump buddies that are accused of rape and human trafficking in the UK ↘️

The thing about clandestine operations is that they probably look like waste fraud & abuse if all you have is a spreadsheet and an order to sell off the country for parts.

Fellow Americans: If you haven’t lately, use your login dot gov account to download your social security statement and review how much of your hard earned retirement money they’re going to steal. It helps to put a real dollar sign on it.

And that’s the problem of Crony capitalism where everything’s for sale: you might think you bought the politician out, but then you realize there’s a higher bidder with more money than you who snagged him at the last minute after you’ve spent 10 years on him. World’s Smallest Violin and all….

Hello from the SaMos.

That’s a lot of sensitive categories. I’m not sure this problem is unique to DV360 though. I don’t know of any DSP which actively monitors the custom segments uploaded to the platform.

Wife: Murder documentary or one about a conartist? Me: Too dreary Her: You’re watching Dino-bird evolution. That’s dreary Me: The attainment of knowledge is inspiring Her: Its inspiring they caught the con artist Me: Hmm getting data from 100M years ago or that bitch is lying? Yeah not the same

For all that is sacred, will a journalist please research just how chronically understaffed Tesla operations are and how terrible customer service in autos and solar is as a preview for how poorly the federal gov will be run after he under-estimates how much staff are necessary?

We at @checkmyads.org filed a complaint with Trustworthy Accountability Group ("TAG") regarding their certified vendors transacting and monitoring ads on CSAM. We also included our broader questions and recommendations regarding TAG’s standards and practices. checkmyads.org/check-my-ads...

NEW: Google, Amazon and Microsoft's ad systems funneled money to a site that hosts images of child sex abuse www.bbc.com/future/artic...

"You wouldn't let us be racist monopolists so we're overthrowing the country."

Begging the political press to stop just reporting on what Trump says he's done, and actually investigating what has *actually* happened. The focus on rushing out stories to be first is letting the MAGA world play you over and over and over again.

Transparency is a growing issue in CTV ad buying. 🧐 Networks like Paramount & NBCU bundle inventory, making it unclear where ads are running. Could this limit CTV growth? 🚫📈 #CTV #transparency

You mean this is the first time for you guys? I’ve had it tell me straight up a request I made for some data collection on the web would be “exhausting” months ago.

Data brokers, take note: California’s Delete Act requires registration by Jan 31, 2025. 📅 Don’t assume you're in the clear—if you use third-party data for targeted ads, you may be subject to the law. Expect more enforcement across multiple states. #PrivacyLaw #DataBroker #Compliance

I have choices in life I look back on and would like a do over for. However, waiting to watch Severance until Season 2 was released will never be one of them. I probably would have thrown my remote at the TV with the ending to Season 1 had I watched when it was originally released.

TikTok is back up. This is all such performative nonsense by the kleptocrats and hypocrites who run DC. And we look like idiots to the CCP. Bluff called and we are flaccid.

Wow. DC Court just extended trial for remedies in U.S. v Google I (search) to fourteen days. A reminder the entire U.S. v Google II trial (imminent decision) in EDVA took fifteen days. Fireworks in court today, mostly around Apple’s intervention needs -> wants which it doesn’t seem likely to get. /1

“County taxpayers could bear the risk of costly damages caused by any failure in the system from a downed power line to a destructive wildfire, he said” As if that’s not already the case?How many fees are taxed onto our bills to pay for maintenance that never happens? www.vcstar.com/story/news/2...

Thank goodness a major news outlet pulled their heads out and realized we don’t have to be stuck with a capped number of House Reps. I’ve been saying this for years. It’s a made up limit not in the Constitution. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A win.

“The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, in which a prosperous Black neighborhood in Oklahoma was destroyed and up to 300 people were killed, was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/11/u...

Huge gratitude for our neighbors, Mexico and Canada have sent fire fighters and army to help us.

I am loathe to share a LA Times article right now, but these guys have the dynamics dead on. Controlling wildland isn’t the answer to the increasing wildfire problem faced in the US west. We have to renting the urban part as well. www.latimes.com/california/s...

I’m at my first musical. I didn’t realize how much Sunny’s Dayman wasn’t a satire.

@adtechgod Based off tonight’s events, I’m going to venture that this is the first thing every ad tech company sees in their minds eye when they find out they are going to be in an Adalytics report regardless of the topic or level of culpability:

@karaswisher.bsky.social to your point on pivot about news operating under a trust

I want to give a shout out to how amazing the people in AdTech are on a personal level. I’m fortunate to live west of where the current fires are at, but have dealt with fire evacs in the past (Woolsey). I’ve heard from colleagues and former coworkers I haven’t spoken to in months asking if I’m ok.

Haven’t heard of MediaGo DSP before, but they may want to vet their buyers a little closer. Pretty sure this is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Happy Bonoween to all who celebrate

A button to download a PMP site list! My kingdom for a button to download a PMP site list on this Xmas Eve!

As I’m deciding which whiskey to drink and my wife asks me about the Blantons:

It’s 8pm Friday before Xmas, and I’m staring at a DSP, querying logs, interacting with an API to babysit a last minute 3 day live sports buy approved late this afternoon. I think I’m safe to drink and work now no? Well maybe not if I have to manipulate JSON objects again….
