Whistleblowers need a solid strategy when disclosing information. Using official channels rarely brings wanted change, but it's usually where most concerned employees start.

At @hushlineapp, we're working to build a team around someone disclosing information, potentially pairing them with a lawyer, journalist, filmmaker, or a mental health professional, to help to protect the #whistleblower and their interests.

Greetings and good evening! I need help down here in #Georgia. My #trans (adult) child is trying to change their name, and we aren't sure whether the #petition needs to be #notarized or not. The clerk won't answer any questions. The form itself doesn't appear to have space for a notary stamp. Can anyone with #legal knowledge or who has done a #NameChange here let us know? We really don't want to have to re-file after January 😬 thank you!! #askFedi #fediHelp #law #lawyer #question :boost_ok:

They can't stop pretending to be victims: "Israel’s opposition leaders fiercely criticized the ICC’s move. Benny Gantz... saying it showed “moral blindness” and was a “shameful stain of historic proportion that will never be forgotten.”"

Genocide is the name of this event.

"One of the most startling aspects of Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza has been the destruction wreaked on the territory’s health sector. Over the past 13 months, the Israeli military has besieged and raided at least 10 hospitals, saying the attacks are a military necessity because Hamas uses the facilities as command and control bases."

The Sleepy Copyright Office in the Middle of a High-Stakes Clash Over AI

The attention stems from a first-of-its-kind review of copyright law in the age of artificial intelligence. The #technology — which feeds off creative content — has upended traditional norms around #copyright, which gives owners of books, movies and music the exclusive ability to distribute and copy their works.
