"Republican senators used a series of rare procedural moves to cut off discussion by opposing Democrats before passing the proposed abortion-rights revision by a 21-11 vote. The measure passed the Republican-led House last month," according to @AssociatedPress. Here's more.

A Texas police officer used Flock to perform a nationwide search of more than 83,000 ALPR cameras while looking for a woman who had had an abortion."

Susan Niemann on her discovery that she descends from a woman hanged for witchcraft during the Salem witch trials:
"The Salem Witch Trials serve as another example of America’s heinous treatment of the poor, the power of religious superstition and extremism, the mass hysteria religion can gin up, and the dangers of intolerance."

This is pretty bad
So there's this #TeaApp for #women only to share the "#tea," gossip, on men they have dated or might date
They verify the govt #ID or other images of its users to get in
Tiny problem:
The galaxy brain #vibe coders (#app made by #AI?) put the images of all these women in a #Firebase *public bucket*
🤦🤦🤦
So completely open access
🤦🤦🤦
Thousands of images, including govt IDs, were downloaded, some posted on #4chan
