I’ve been noticing a wild pattern lately, I couldn’t tell if it’s either a ragebait or not but every single one of them seems quite confident with their wrong answer… Well most of the time they’re likely schrodinger asshole. Some people in most social media (whether it’s tiktok, instagram or youtube) always say the most stupidest thing in a comment section, and most of the time they spread misinformation and believed those misinformation without doing any proper research which made me concerned. One time someone argued with me that intel management engine on 2008-2010 chipset has a “crazy spyware backdoor” and I explained to them that most 2008-2010 chipset lack network stacking in order to be a proper backdoor and since those older chipset lack network stacking physically and needed vPro edition of the chip for network stacking. I did some research more on why they believed that information and I found a popular tiktok video that went across my feed a few months ago which contained misinformation and did not clarify the vPro part. Someone even admitted in my comment section that they’re doing research on the tiktok search bar… tiktok search engine isn’t even reliable for researching! I seriously think I should take a break from social media, because how come these type of people even exist without any instinct of researching properly? Have you encountered people like this too? Please tell me I’m not the only one whose encountering these type of people.

Carmaker Volkswagen is facing criticism from privacy-conscious drivers after GrapheneOS users reported being locked out of the company’s mobile app, leaving some unable to log in, sync vehicle data, or remotely control their cars. Reports began surfacing on the GrapheneOS forum and Reddit’s r/degoogle community, where users described suddenly losing access to Volkswagen’s app despite using fully updated devices. The issue appears to affect Volkswagen’s app ecosystem rather than a specific vehicle model, so owners that rely on VW Connect, We Connect, We Connect ID or related services could potentially be affected. Some posters pointed to the apparent contradiction that Volkswagen’s software continues to support older, end-of-life Android versions while rejecting GrapheneOS installations. One affected user, Aaron94, said Volkswagen’s app stopped working entirely after a logout. Despite enabling compatibility settings and trying multiple workarounds, they were unable to log back in. Another user, XavDub, reported similar problems. “First symptom, sync did not work anymore from the app, so I tried to logout to login again, but it’s since just impossible,” they wrote, adding that testing on a standard Google Pixel running stock Android worked normally. When XavDub contacted the German car maker, the company responded that GrapheneOS “is not an official Volkswagen offering” and advised them to contact their OS provider instead. The timing has raised eyebrows because Volkswagen recently changed the APIs used to access vehicle data. According to German tech title Heise, the change disrupted third-party tools used by owners for smart charging, solar energy integration, and home automation. … It’s shaping up to be a cruel summer for GrapheneOS users. Earlier this month reports emerged that age-verification provider Yoti, used by Sony, Facebook and TikTok, had allegedly flagged GrapheneOS users during verification processes, prompting widespread backlash in privacy communities.

Binatikos ng mga progresibong grupo ng manggagawa sa Central Visayas ang Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB-7) sa kawalan nito ng agaran at determinadong aksyon sa panawagang itaas ang minimum na sahod tungong ₱1,200. Sa kabila ng sumasadsad na kabuhayan ng mga manggagawa dulot ng sumisirit na presyo ng mga bilihin at langis, nananatili itong bingi at manhid sa hinaing ng mga manggagawa. Sa isang press conference noong Huwebes, Hulyo 25, mariing kinundena nina Howell Villacrusis, pangkalahatang kalihim ng Alyansa sa Mamumuo sa Sugbo-Kilusang Mayo Uno (AMA Sugbo-KMU), Kyle Enero ng BIEN Cebu, at Jaime Paglinawan ng Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan)-Central Visayas ang kawalang tugon ng RTWPB-7. Anila, lalong pinahaba ng ahensya ang kalbaryo ng mga manggagawa sa pagtanggi nitong magdeklara agad ng “supervening event” na magpapabilis sana sa pagpapatupad ng dagdag sahod. Binigyang diin ni Villacrusis na noon pang Marso sumiklab ang tensyon sa Middle East na nagbunsod ng sunod-sunod na oil price hike at pagmahal ng mga pangunahing bilihin. Ngunit inabot pa ng halos tatlong buwan ang gubyerno bago man lang kumilos para sa isang huwad na “konsultasyon.” “Sa taas nga panahon nanawagan ta og wage increase… Nibuto ang gyera sa Iran nga nitumol sa pagsaka og sirit sa mga pamaliton niadto pang Marso. Duol na sa tulo ka buwan, ana pa sila nagpatawag nga dunay supervening event. Sa atong makita nga dagan sa scheduling, pag-abot pa sa Septiyembre maaprobahan ang increase,” ani Villacrusis. (Matagal na nating ipinapanawagan ang taas-sahod… Pumutok ang gera sa Iran na nagpasirit sa presyo noong Marso, lumipas ang halos tatlong buwan bago sila nagpatawag ng supervening event. Sa nakikita nating takbo ng iskedyul, Setyembre pa maaprubahan ang dagdag-sahod,” ayon kay Villacrusis. Sa taya ng AMA Sugbo-KMU, napakababa na ng tunay na halaga ng kasalukuyang ₱540 na minimum wage sa rehiyon na nasa ₱400 na lamang sa harap ng 10.8% inflation rate sa Central Visayas noong Mayo. Pinakamataas ang tantos na ito sa buong bansa. Higit pang kalunus-lunos ang dinaranas ng pinakamahihirap na pamilya (ang pinakamababang 30% ng sambahayan) kung saan umabot sa 15.4% ang tantos ng implasyon. Binweltahan din ng mga manggagawa sa BPO ang nagmungkahing unahin ang “upskilling” o pagsasanay kaysa sa pagtataas ng sahod upang maging “competitive” ang bansa. Ayon kay Kyle Enero ng BIEN Cebu, gasgas na ang palusot na ito ng mga kapitalista para bigyang-matuwid ang barat na pasahod. Marami na aniyang manggagawa ang gumagawa ng trabahong lampas sa kanilang mga tungkulin ngunit hindi naman binabayaran nang tama. Sa isinumiteng bukas na liham ng AMA Sugbo-KMU sa wage board, inilatag nito ang makatarungang batayan para sa ₱1,420 na nakabubuhay na sahod (family living wage). Bilang kagyat na hakbang patungo rito, ipinapanawagan ng alyansa ang ₱660 na dagdag-sahod para sa Class A areas (upang mapantayan ang ₱1,200 baseline) at ₱700 na dagdag sahod para sa Class B areas na kasalukuyang nakapako sa ₱500. Kinontrat ni Paglinawan ng Bayan-Central Visayas ang pananakot ng mga negosyante na malulugi sila kapag tinaasan ang sahod. Ayon sa datos, patuloy ang paglago ng Regional Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) ng Central Visayas at lalong nagpapakasasa sa tubo ang malalaking korporasyon at mga bilyonaryo sa rehiyon. Aniya, makatarungan lamang na ibalik sa mga manggagawa ang yaman na sila mismo ang lumilikha. Habang patuloy na nagmamatigas ang pamahalaan at mga kapitalista, nananawagan ang AMA Sugbo-KMU at buong pwersa ng uring manggagawa sa Cebu na paigtingin ang pagkakaisa, ilunsad ang mga protesta, at singilin ang rehimeng walang malasakit sa sikmura ng mamamayan.

The LGBTQIA+ Commission of the American Party of Labor– “Let’s Go Washington” founder Brian Heywood speaks at a rally. (Aspen Ford/Washington State Standard) In an effort to develop a generation of poorly educated and socially isolated workers, the most reactionary wing of the American ruling class has been engaged in a well-documented crusade against both the rights of transgender students and the already underfunded public school system as a whole. A state-level front in this ongoing war has been opened by the “Let’s Go Washington” coalition formed by right-wing billionaire hedge fund manager Brian Heywood. A longstanding financial supporter of the Trump regime, Heywood and “Let’s Go Washington” have introduced a number of legislative campaigns in favor of typical capitalist and reactionary interests. These range from limiting property taxes, securing state funding for home schooling (which, if enacted, would essentially amount to defunding public education), and strengthening legal protection of “parental rights.” It is at the intersection of several of these campaigns that Heywood’s committee has introduced two initiatives into the Washington House of Representatives. The two initiatives in question are IL26-001, “Restoring Parents’ Rights,” and IL26-638, “Protecting Girls’ Sports.” IL26-001 is a reactionary attack disguised as a defense of parental rights. The measure would allow parents access to their children’s medical and mental health records from their schools. At first glance this may seem like a reasonable measure, but it conceals the true aim which is to enable parents to police the private discussions between LGBTQIA+ youth and their counselors. This represents a clear violation of students’ rights to the privacy and safety which so many of these vulnerable children rely on. In fact, studies show that many adolescents experiencing mental health crises are also dealing with abuse, neglect, hostility, or other serious problems at home. The privacy afforded to students in counseling settings exists for a reason: it provides a lifeline for young people who cannot safely turn to their families for support. IL26-001 would tear away those protections, placing not only queer youth, but all vulnerable students like victims of child abuse, under greater surveillance, making it more difficult for them to access the help they need. Far from protecting children, it would leave many with nowhere safe to turn. This initiative is the latest in a long line of attacks made by Heywood against changes made to the so-called “Parental Bill of Rights” in order to make it compatible with state laws protecting the privacy of children. The other bill championed by Heywood, IL26-638 would mandate physical examinations of children’s genitals to document their sex assigned at birth if they wish to play in interscholastic sports. It would prohibit schools and nonprofit organizations from allowing transgender girls from playing in girls’ sports. Any institution or individual found in violation of this law would be subject to penalties deemed by the applicable school board to be “proportional to the offense,” leaving enforcement intentionally vague. While often touted as upholding fairness or “biological reality,” laws banning transgender girls from girls’ sports are based on scientifically unsound claims. A metanalysis published in Feb. 2026 found that transgender women using feminizing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) had comparable fitness to cisgender women, and that available evidence “does not support theories of inherent athletic advantages for transgender women over cisgender.” What is well supported by the available data is the fact that gender-affirming care greatly improves the health and well-being of transgender and nonbinary children. It is also documented that the increase in state-level legislation targeting transgender rights has been associated with an increase in suicide attempts among youths. If there is no scientific basis for sports bans targeting transgender girls, then we are left with the reality that they are part of a larger campaign to present reactionary positions as “common sense” measures. This becomes abundantly clear when the Washington ballot initiatives are viewed alongside legislation introduced in other states. Despite overwhelming popular support, landmark legislation in Colorado that enshrines protection of transgender rights, popularly known as the Kelly Loving Act, came under fire from reactionaries. A common theme shared with the messaging of “Let’s Go Washington” was the ever-present call for protecting “parental rights.” However, a far more insidious motivation was communicated by the right-wing extremist and Colorado State Representative Brandi Bradley, when she described her fellow bigots as the “tip of the spear” in introducing reactionary rhetoric into law. While ultimately unsuccessful, the campaign against the Kelly Loving Act resulted in considerable political gains for reactionary elements in Colorado. With the support of various fascist elements on Social Media like “Moms for Liberty” and “Libs of TikTok,” the struggle against the Kelly Loving Act has been used as fodder in a national effort to manufacture outrage against LGBTQIA+ people and garner support for other causes that harm populations of working people, including legislation targeting undocumented immigrants. It is also important to examine the role that strengthening so-called “parental rights” has played in this “tip of the spear” strategy. In 2023, at a rally entitled “Parents Matter,” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin reduced this position to a simple slogan: “Children belong to parents, not to the state.” The reduction of the status of children to the property of their parents is alarming yet central to both the nuclear family and its role in reinforcing the coercive power of capitalism. In this regard it should be noted that a key element of the far-right Project 2025 is the weakening of laws protecting children from exploitative labor practices. It can no longer be denied that the recent proliferation of legislation targeting transgender youth has been a powerfully effective tool for the most reactionary wing of the American bourgeoisie. Through these initiatives, billionaires like Brian Heywood have distracted workers from our shared interests and instead attempted to foment culture wars and animosity towards some of the most vulnerable populations among young people, and even sowing division where there previously was none. Laws targeting access to life-saving gender-affirming care play a similar role as abortion bans and other attacks on healthcare. To the same extent, the fanatic crusade for “parental rights” is leading us down the path toward funding inadequate homeschooling programs and public-school austerity. It is no coincidence that the rapid spread of such hateful propaganda coincides with the rapid increase in costs of living and instability for the vast majority of American workers. The intended effect of such plans is to rear a new generation of less educated, more religious, and socially isolated workers fit for maximum exploitation by the bourgeoisie. It is critical that the working class not take this bait, and, more importantly, that we maintain a commitment to standing up for the rights of all oppressed people in their struggles for liberation.

The blood of African grey parrots is emerging as a new, macabre illegal wildlife product traded in Cameroon, analysts from TRAFFIC, a nonprofit that monitors wildlife trafficking, reported. This grim trade in grey parrots, an endangered species long coveted by exotic bird collectors, first came to light in 2025, when forest officials patrolling Cameroon’s Lobéké National Park caught trappers with live birds and interrogated them. “Poachers entering the park trap live birds, then kill them, extract their blood and transport them,” said Biloa Donatien Joseph Guy, the park’s conservator, adding that they haul the blood in bottles and jerry cans — normally used to carry fuel. While park authorities haven’t seized blood from apprehended suspects, poachers have been caught with live birds. Further investigations into these cases are ongoing. When last assessed by the IUCN in 2020, grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus), native to the rainforests of West and Central Africa, were declining, largely because of the pet trade. These beautiful, long-lived birds are among the most intelligent animals on the planet, thought to be as smart as a 5-year-old child. These parrots ‘talk,’ mimicking human speech with uncanny accuracy, making them a popular pet. They appear in videos across TikTok and YouTube, further fueling the demand. As a result, these birds have been poached to near-extinction, commanding exorbitant prices from collectors worldwide. Between 1982 and 2001, more than 1.3 million wild-caught grey parrots entered the international trade, according to IUCN, the global wildlife conservation authority, making them one of the most…This article was originally published on Mongabay From Conservation news via This RSS Feed.

This story was originally published by Flatwater Free Press. Tim Trudell Flatwater Free Press Sitting on a scorching sidewalk in downtown Winnebago, 7-year-old Tyler Free-LaMere’s little hands danced across the black-and-white keys of her miniature keyboard, bringing the symphonies in her head into the world for people shuffling by. Few on reservation at the time realized little Tyler was laying the foundation for a groundbreaking future. Free-LaMere recently became a National Endowment for the Arts composer — the first-ever Winnebago Nation citizen to do so. She joins at least three other noted Indigenous composers to receive the honor: Louis Ballard, a Quapaw/Cherokee citizen, Brent Michael Davids of the Mohican Nation and Raven Chacon, a Diné (Navajo). The 21-year-old two-spirit (LGBTQ), who identifies as non-binary, created the award-winning piece while studying at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. It was originally intended for her mother’s dual language program at Winnebago elementary school. Now, it will be used by Indigenous students across the United States, with Free-LaMere receiving royalties from sales. “What I don’t think people understand is the National Endowment for the Arts is a huge deal,” said Keely Purscell, a longtime Winnebago Nation leader who has known Free-LaMere her entire life. “That means that out of umpteen-thousand youth who submitted for this, these very strict composers, writers, artists, saw something in our Tyler and said, ‘We need to nurture this to allow her to have the time, space and money to do this.’ It is quite a coup for the LeMere family, the Free family, the Winnebago people and then the Anishinaabe people that she also comes from.” Free-LaMere is far from the first trailblazer in her family. Her great-uncle, Frank LaMere, was known nationally for his activism, as well as leadership roles with the Nebraska Democratic Party. LaMere achieved a long-sought victory in shutting down the off-reservation liquor sales in Whiteclay. His opposition to a racist nickname forced the Sioux City Single-A baseball team to change its name to the Explorers. Free-LaMere has followed in her great-uncle’s footsteps. At the age of 17, she played a key role in persuading the Winnebago Tribal Council to reverse a decision to ban same-sex marriage ceremonies on the reservation. A video she created on TikTok received more than a million views and helped pressure the council to reconsider its vote in 2022. When immigration enforcement swept across Minneapolis this past winter, Free-LaMere and her mother led an effort to gather donated items and take them to people in the Twin Cities. “I’m amazed at the way she just thinks of something and then goes for it,” said Michelle Free-LaMere, Tyler’s mother. “She doesn’t let anything stop her. She takes on the initiative. And I think a lot of it comes from the homeschooling, because she was never one to wait to see what the class did, or wait to see what the teacher told her it was.” Tyler Free-LaMere’s innate music abilities trace back to her early childhood. Even before her days playing the keyboard in downtown Winnebago, Purscell remembers little Tyler plucking the strings on a small ukulele and figuring out the notes. Years later, Michelle Free-LaMere, a dual language teacher at Winnebago schools, asked her daughter to compose an original piece to use for the class’s spring program. Then came a chance encounter in the offices of UNO’s Native American Studies. Cindy Melton Krafka, an adjunct professor, was meeting with a representative of the National Endowment for the Arts. The representative, a composer from Chicago, said he thought the NEA would award the music grant earmarked for Nebraska to a Lakota citizen in South Dakota. “Hold on a minute. This is Nebraska. If you’re going to have a grant coming out of Nebraska, we have Ho Chunk,” Krafka said, using the ancestral name for the Winnebago. “We have Omaha. Those are the ones we are going to use.” To prove her point, Krafka took the NEA representative and Skye Junginger, a UNO professor and Indigenous composer, to the annual Homecoming powwow in Winnebago. After being impressed by hundreds of dancers performing throughout the day and dozens of drummers, the NEA was ready for a Nebraska Native American student composer. Krafka had the perfect person in mind: Free-LaMere. “We need a culture bearer,” Krafka said. “She came in and blew them away because she knows her culture. She knows her language.” Free-LaMere realized early on what lay in front of her. She wasn’t simply writing music — she was telling the story of generations of Winnebago who came before her. “Traditionally, we were very matrilineal and maternal, like it was the wife and her family in her responsibility to care for the warriors and build them up to be prepared for war,” she said. However, as encounters with Europeans grew more common, tribal roles shifted as the colonizers refused to deal with women, instead recognizing men as the Winnebago leaders, Free-LaMere said. That eventually extended to music. “Nowadays, there’s a lot of gender politics when it comes to anything Indigenous culture, especially in Ho Chunk context,” she said. “So the belief is that women shouldn’t be messing with music. They shouldn’t be singing leads and being the main voice of the song.” As a youth, Free-LaMere said she often felt frustrated by those discriminatory attitudes. “It’s kind of been a way to police women and females in terms of writing music and singing songs,” Free-LaMere said. “I knew that if I were to come out about this project, I would receive a little bit of backlash, especially from people who come from that cultural background. But everyone was quite receptive, and it was pretty welcomed rather than criticized.” Free-LaMere understood the importance of having tribal support. Learning the Ho Chunk’s traditional language was vital to her growth as an Indigenous person, which aided in her composing the tribal song. To ensure accuracy of her musical piece, Free-LaMere worked with a representative of the Hoocak Academy, based in Wisconsin, the Ho Chunk’s traditional home. By that point, she had transferred to Little Priest Tribal College on the Winnebago reservation, having felt threatened at her UNO dormitory. She didn’t feel as though UNO’s administration adequately responded to her claims, which included death threats, Free-LaMere said. She felt safer near home. Free-LaMere knew generally she wanted the song to tell a story, one that tied her tribe’s historical relationship with the Algonquin people, who actually gave them the title of Winnebago. But she wasn’t quite sure how to connect it all. Putting out a daily offering of food for the spirits to help guide her, Free-LaMere prayed to the Creator one morning before heading to class. That is when the idea for the song — one about acceptance and Indigenous pride — came to her. Then, while sitting in class, the words came. She quickly started writing, then composing the musical notes. My heart is strong, and I come from the people, the big voice, and no one can take my voice away. The lyrics are intentionally short and simple because that’s how songs are traditionally composed, Free-LaMere said. But they convey a lot of meaning and, through their repetition, the melodies can grow complex. “If you have a song in your heart, there’s no one that can take it away from you,” she said. The original piece was performed during the spring 2025 Winnebago elementary school program. It was published in October. Now that it is published, Indigenous people across Turtle Island (an Indigenous term for the United States) and everyone else can listen to the song. Historically, Indigenous music was recorded without consent, distributed and copyrighted, sometimes by the anthropologists and music educators who would come into Indigenous communities, Free-LaMere said. This time, the composer retains the rights to the music, she said. Free-LaMere’s music and words will be shared with schoolchildren from the Mohicans in the northeast to the Diné (Navajo) in the southwest. Tribes can even rework the words to fit their traditional language, Free-LaMere said. “The goal was to create culturally appropriate materials that anyone could use, and to ethically teach Indigenous music education. … Any music educator can take these materials and apply them to their classroom, or even transpose them into a jazz combo or any contemporary format,” she said. Her work resonates beyond the classroom, said UNO’s Junginger, a Santee Dakota Nation descendant. “It also signals increasing recognition of Native voices in areas where they have traditionally been underrepresented,” he said. “This kind of acknowledgment can leave a lasting impact, influencing her career and inspiring others to see what is achievable.” Free-LaMere is now finishing her undergraduate degree at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. She is eyeing law school as a post-graduation possibility. Purscell sees Free-LaMere’s composition as a major step forward for Native Americans. When missionaries first came, they translated hymns into the Dakota language to entice them into attending church. Free-LaMere is now taking that in the opposite direction and showing “Ho Chunk ways are really amazing,” she said. “I cannot wait to see her sing this song on the stage,” Purscell said. “And keep going, keep singing, keep composing, keep blazing a trail. Somebody has to be first. There always has to be somebody to be first.” The Flatwater Free Press is Nebraska’s first independent, nonprofit newsroom focused on investigations and feature stories that matter.
