Biden Admin Says It Will Terminate Trump-Era Immigration Restrictions

Title 42 allows border agents to immediately expel illegal immigrants

The Biden administration told the Supreme Court on Tuesday it will end the Trump-era Title 42 policy, which allows border agents to expel migrants at the border, as the country faces a growing illegal immigration crisis.

U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar submitted a filing to the High Court, which is weighing a case on the policy, saying the White House will allow Title 42 to expire in May when the administration's COVID-19 public health emergency ends, CNN reported.

The Trump administration created the policy in March 2020 to combat the spread of COVID-19 across the nation’s border, allowing border officials to immediately expel thousands of illegal immigrants. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in December, however, announced the White House’s intention to end the Trump policy as it faced legal challenges in the courts.

"Title 42 is a public health measure, not an immigration enforcement measure, and it should not be extended indefinitely," Jean-Pierre said.

Republicans criticized the White House's move as thousands of illegal immigrants cross the border each day.

"Getting rid of Title 42 will recklessly and needlessly endanger more Americans and migrants by exacerbating the catastrophe that is...

MTG Goes Nuclear Against Former Twitter Exec For Banning Conservatives While Allowing Child Porn

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tore into three former Twitter executives during a House Oversight and Reform hearing on Wednesday, telling them that she was glad they were fired from the platform.

Twitter’s former chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, former deputy general counsel James Baker and former head of trust and safety Yoel Roth, appeared before the committee hearing titled “Protecting Speech from Government Interference and Social Media Bias, Part 1: Twitter’s Role in Suppressing the Biden Laptop Story.”

The former executives are among several top Twitter officials who left the company or were fired after Elon Musk bought the platform.

Greene, who spent all of her allotted time speaking, rather than asking questions, sounded like she had a personal score to settle, tearing into Roth especially for allowing child porn to flourish on the platform, while conservatives like her were banned.

“You can consider your speech cancelled during my time because you cancelled mine,” Greene told the former Twitter execs, before calling them out for banning her personal campaign account during an election year.

“January 2, 20[2]2, you permanently banned my Twitter account. This is the account where I would put my campaign ads on, raise money on, fight back when attacked with lies, and be able to talk with my voters in my district. But you banned it,” MTG declared.

She noted later, “you didn’t ban or shadowban my opponent. No, you did that to me,” and that was wrong, and it was against the law.”

MTG accused the trio of coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FBI, CIA, and other outside groups to censor conservatives by permanently banning or shadowbanning their accounts.

“You were censoring and wrongfully violating our First Amendment free speech rights,” MTG said. “Guess what? None of you hold security clearances. None of you are elected. And none of you represent 750,000 people like I do.”

Greene went on to blast the former execs for censoring doctors who were trying to tell the truth about COVID treatments, parents trying to blow the whistle on radical school LGBTQ or CRT policies, and people who questioned the legitimacy of...

How NOSTR Will Change the World of Privacy

Bitcoin users have already flocked to it en masse. It has been the subject of constant raving from Edward Snowden. The former CEO and founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, is participating. It’s being heralded as the replacement for Twitter and Instagram, but some industry insiders predict it’ll destroy both.

Although it’s too early to tell if NOSTR can achieve all of that, one thing it won’t be is another social networking platform (if only because it’s not even a platform). Read on to learn more and find out what NOSTR is and why has the potential to transform interpersonal relationships and communication.

What’s NOSTR?

It’s short for “Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays.” It’s officially described as “a decentralized network built on cryptographic keypairs that is not peer-to-peer.” None of that soup of words does much to describe NOSTR, and the concept may take some time to sink in for those used to traditional social media.

However, once you do, NOSTR’s potential is obvious.

It is not a platform. It doesn’t have a server, a fancy glass office building full of nerds playing ping-pong and bingeing on free chai lattes, slick marketers, or even a CEO. You don’t really sign up for a NOSTR account and don’t look for a NOSTR app because there isn’t one available in the stores.

NOSTR is a protocol, or more precisely, a decentralized base-level protocol, that allows anyone to build nearly whatever they like, including a chat room, a social media platform, an interactive game, and a news site.

A developer by the name of fiatjaf designed and coded NOSTR in 2020 as a discrete, open-source, niche substitute for both Twitter and Mastodon. NOSTR is powered and distributed through decentralized platforms and apps, or “clients,” in contrast to conventional social media.

The excitement and expectations that followed the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk are gradually fading.

Even if the blue bird’s platform may now function better, users are beginning to realize the fact that it’s still largely the same Twitter. This is due to the fact that centralized, server-based social media is always open to outside manipulation. It can be hacked, compromised, suppressed, tampered with, co-opted, or censored. Or purchased, as the Twitter transaction has demonstrated.

When Twitter changed hands, Mastodon, a social network made up of autonomous servers arranged around particular themes, subjects, or interests, started to grow quickly on the promise of decentralization. However, Mastodon is still based on servers whose administrators can censor or shadow-ban users’ material or manage their usernames and identity. That’s the crux of the matter.
There is a top-to-bottom movement that favors decentralization.

Geopolitically, this happens through the realignment of allegiances and partnerships of nations. Individuals, on the other hand, need to figure out how to keep their money, savings, and voices out of the reach of governments, bureaucrats, and technocrats.

Nobody is pleased with the scramble for power that’s taking place everywhere, and decentralizing technology may offer the common person a way out of the rat cage.

As big tech and legacy media collude with governments to control the narratives and censor dissent, people are searching for alternative locations and social media platforms where they can exchange and propagate ideas and their creations without running the risk of being de-platformed, censored, or canceled without much in the way of appeal.

Against this background comes NOSTR.

Although the mainstream media hasn’t yet taken notice of NOSTR, it’s been making the rounds in the digital underworld for some time and beginning to surface and gain some traction. The final push was given by none other than Twitter by adding NOSTR to the list of items/services forbidden from being advertised on its platform. All this did was...
