You’re going to miss me when I’m gone. Newseum line around the corner today with only four days remaining until museum closes for good.
Newseum was such a brilliant visit to educate all ages as to our 1A freedoms...
and share lessons from abroad from those who don’t have the same freedoms.
And capture our generations’ greatest tragedies in ways only journalists can.
And allow us to remember those who made the greatest sacrifice in capturing history and informing us all.
Glad we were able to take our boys one last time today before it closed. Especially now. In this moment.

Must read from exec who spent more than a decade at Google mostly as global head of international relations. “But Dragonfly was only one of several developments that concerned those of us who still believed in the mantra of ‘Don’t be evil.’ (1 of 2) medium.com/@rossformaine/…
He asks, “what are the implications for all of us when that once-great American company controls so much data about billions of users across the globe?” (2 of 2)
Now go read @nitashatiku report in @washingtonpost on this. Quite something, a lot to unpack here further backing why “Don’t be evil” motto probably became a section 5 deception concern for Google. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

If you need a case study in why @AGBecerra needs to make certain DNT universal opt-out signals are clearly honored by all parties and Google/Facebook need to stop tracking across websites under CCPA, take a look at LA Times roll-out today. /1 membership.latimes.com/privacy-settin…
RevContent is a poster child company almost no user would know exists nor would want mining their personal data. More importantly, users don’t want to have to visit 5 different sites to opt out of hundreds of ad tech companies who are the ones users don’t want tracking them. /2
And to be clear, the only easy thing to opt out of here is LA Times which is the site the user likely trusts and intended to visit and give their business. DNT is the only simple way for users to opt out of third party tracking including Facebook and Google. /3

just now watching Sunday news shows after family time this morning. Serious hat tip to @chucktodd @MeetThePress for its special focused exclusively on disinformation. They covered a lot very well. Quick highlight from each segment. /1 nbcnews.com/meet-the-press…
First segment had NYT and Wash Post editors. @PostBaron of Post made many key succinct points. This includes how people are more and more drawn to sources confirming their preexisting pov. This shift first struck me in this 2007 research. /2 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…
Was thrilled @chucktodd had Clint Watts on the next segment to spend time breaking down disinformation. Super valuable he used CrowdStrike as a case study. Well covered, @selectedwisdom. ps highly recommend his book, “Messing with the Enemy.” /3

Today @vikrantkumar tweeted about Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro. And I couldn’t help unsee the similarities from Maharashtra politics in it. So here goes...

Bala Saheb’s atma is shocked. What the hell is going on with the party he so painstakingly built?
A Thackrey in govt? That was not the model he left behind...

Today, Canada is voicing its support for pricing pollution because carbon pollution knows no borders. Taking practical, proven, and affordable action against climate change is in our national interest.
I don't want to fight in court. I want to fight climate change. cbc.ca/news/politics/…
"No sector of the economy is more vulnerable to climate change than agriculture. [...] This is why our members voted overwhelmingly in favour of this court intervention to support federal jurisdiction over climate change policy." — @NFUCanada

Good chat on LBC last night. First up: why Digby Jones is wrong, why no-deal really is a catastrophe, why we find it so hard to get our head around that, and why any country will burn if you set fire to it
2/ Sceptics are absolutely right that planes will fly after Brexit. Because we’ll have a deal. Because we’re going to capitulate on everything.

And yes, a good deal is on offer. If we hadn’t tried to shaft Ireland and split EU single market, we could have had it all along.
3/ Lastly: can we make a success of Brexit? (no), and why the real ‘coup’ against the British people is not offering them a new vote, but promising them prosperity and then confiscating their cancer treatment
