Where are my age verification law and policy nerds at? There's good news from Texas!
A federal judge just denied the Texas attorney general's request to enforce the App Store Accountability Act while a legal challenge proceeds.
Texans won't have to upload IDs or scan their faces to download apps.

Anyone remember the Purcell doctrine, saying courts shouldn't change electoral districts too close to the election because it might cause confusion? Remember how SCOTUS applied it six months ago to say it was already too late to invalidate the Texas districts? Funny how that didn't happen in Callais

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation
Not only did the US, per its own ‘intelligence,’ bomb this girls primary school, THEY BOMBED IT TWICE.

Tends to happen when a handmaiden of autocracy is installed as your editor in chief
NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:
Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:of56nmyuqzvjta7qlf7gwht6/bafkreigd4ytwxolisa7hyct6pyoprf6vqdzvyevq44rtyv4zjeurlw3uii)

Broadview, IL -
One protester outside the facility near the gate was just hit with chemical irritant pretty dead on. Protest medics took care of him, Broadview police just arrived and are transporting him to a local hospital. Said they’re going to take a battery report.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:
"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."
On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Agreed with the Cooler Heads here. This act of political violence may one day soon serve as pretext to justify federal occupation of progressive cities or even unaccountable militias imprisoning people of color without due process at impenetrable, inhumane black sites. Well, I sure hope not!

Excellent response from Hasan Piker, who was scheduled to debate Charlie Kirk in two weeks. On his stream he said: “The reverberation of people seeking out vengeance in the aftermath of this violent, abhorrent incident is going to be genuinely worrisome.” Also talked about his own vulnerability
