Bluesky has halted access to its platform in Mississippi, choosing to stand against a newly-enacted state law that compels online services to verify the age and identity of every user before granting access. The company argues that the legislation not only threatens individual privacy but also risks eroding the foundations of online anonymity and freedom of expression. Mississippi’s HB 1126 requires all users, regardless of what content they intend to access, to undergo age verification and, in the case of minors, provide parental consent. More: The Digital ID and Online Age Verification Agenda The law imposes significant penalties for noncompliance, with fines that could reach $10,000 per user. For Bluesky, a small team working on decentralized, privacy-focused social technology, these demands represent more than just a logistical burden. “The Supreme Court’s recent decision leaves us facing a hard reality: comply with Mississippi’s age assurance law—and make every Mississippi Bluesky user hand over sensitive personal information and undergo age checks to access the site—or risk massive fines,” the company said in a statement. “The law would also require us to identify and track which users are children, unlike our approach in other regions.” Bluesky warned that the implications of this law extend well beyond child safety. By forcing identity verification for every user, the state has essentially enacted a digital ID system that undermines the ability to engage online without being monitored. “We think this law creates challenges that go beyond its child safety goals, and creates significant barriers that limit free speech and disproportionately harm smaller platforms and emerging technologies.” While Bluesky reiterated its commitment to protecting younger users: “Keeping children safe online is a core priority for Bluesky.” It also pointed out that effective safety tools don’t require sacrificing basic digital rights. Such blanket mandates not only threaten personal privacy but make anonymous participation in public discourse nearly impossible. Bluesky’s leadership noted that the law would force the platform to build a system that gathers and stores extensive personal data from every user, an approach at odds with the values that underpin decentralized technologies. “Unlike tech giants with vast resources, we’re a small team focused on building decentralized social technology that puts users in control,” the company stated. “Age verification systems require substantial infrastructure and developer time investments, complex privacy protections, and ongoing compliance monitoring — costs that can easily overwhelm smaller providers. This dynamic entrenches existing big tech platforms while stifling the innovation and competition that benefits users.” The company warned that introducing identity checks across the board could chill free speech and suppress minority voices that rely on anonymity for safety. “We believe effective child safety policies should be carefully tailored to address real harms, without creating huge obstacles for smaller providers and resulting in negative consequences for free expression.” Until the courts decide whether the law will stand, Bluesky is blocking access from Mississippi IP addresses. Visitors from the state will now see a notice explaining the temporary restriction. This policy only affects the Bluesky app itself. Other applications built on the AT Protocol are free to make different choices. “We believe this flexibility is one of the strengths of decentralized systems—different providers can make decisions that align with their values and capabilities, especially during periods of regulatory uncertainty.” If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net.

At DogingtonPost, we’ve gathered some of the most heartwarming rescue dog stories that will touch your soul. These tales of transformation, heroism, and second chances showcase the incredible resilience and love that rescue dogs bring into our lives. From senior pups finding their forever homes to abused animals becoming therapy dogs, these stories remind us of the power of adoption and the unbreakable bond between humans and their furry companions. Shelter to Home: Transforming Lives At DogingtonPost, we’ve seen numerous heartwarming stories of rescue dogs finding their forever homes. These tales of transformation showcase the resilience of our canine friends and highlight the profound impact of adoption on both dogs and their new families. Senior Love: Max’s Golden Years Max, a 12-year-old Labrador Retriever, spent most of his life in a shelter. Many potential adopters overlooked him due to his age. However, the Johnsons, a retired couple, saw beyond Max’s gray muzzle and arthritic gait. They adopted Max, provided him with a comfortable bed, regular vet check-ups, and a diet tailored for senior dogs. Within weeks, Max’s energy levels improved dramatically. The Johnsons reported that daily short walks and gentle play sessions helped Max regain mobility. They also found that puzzle toys kept Max’s mind sharp (proving that old dogs can indeed learn new tricks). From Victim to Hero: Bella’s Journey Bella, a Pit Bull mix, was rescued from an abusive situation. She feared humans and showed signs of aggression when first brought to the shelter. Through patient rehabilitation and positive reinforcement training, Bella’s true gentle nature emerged. A local therapy dog organization recognized Bella’s potential and enrolled her in their program. After six months of intensive training, Bella became a certified therapy dog. Now, she visits hospitals and nursing homes, bringing comfort to patients. Bella’s success story underscores the importance of professional training for rescue dogs with troubled pasts. It also highlights how rescue organizations can partner with therapy dog programs to create positive outcomes for dogs and communities. Tripod’s Triumph: A Three-Legged Wonder Tripod, a mixed-breed pup, lost his front leg in an accident before his rescue. His adopters, the Smiths, initially worried about the challenges of caring for a three-legged dog. However, they quickly discovered that Tripod’s disability didn’t slow him down one bit. The Smiths started to document Tripod’s daily adventures on social media. His playful antics and resilient spirit quickly gained a following. Tripod’s Instagram account now has over 100,000 followers (raising awareness about special needs pets and the joys of adoption). The Smiths use Tripod’s platform to educate people about caring for dogs with disabilities. They share tips on adapting home environments and finding suitable exercises for dogs with mobility issues. Their efforts have inspired numerous followers to consider adopting special needs pets. These stories show that every dog, regardless of age, past, or physical condition, deserves a loving home. They also demonstrate how rescue dogs, given the chance, can transform not just their own lives but also the lives of those around them. Recent research estimates that 7-20% of shelter dogs are returned post-adoption, with many returns occurring in the first month. As we move on to our next section, we’ll explore how some of these incredible canines have gone beyond being pets to become true heroes in their communities. Rescue Dogs Become Everyday Heroes At DogingtonPost, we’ve witnessed numerous stories of rescue dogs who overcame challenging pasts to become true heroes. These remarkable canines not only adapt to their new homes but often save lives and make significant impacts in their communities. From Streets to Lifesaver: Buddy’s Burning Passion Buddy, a mixed-breed dog rescued from the streets, proved that even former strays can become lifesavers. The Garcia family adopted Buddy, and he quickly became an integral part of their household. His heroic moment arrived when a faulty electrical outlet sparked a fire in the middle of the night. Buddy’s keen sense of smell detected the smoke before the home’s alarm system. He persistently barked and pawed at his sleeping owners until they woke up. Thanks to Buddy’s quick action, the entire family escaped unharmed, and firefighters contained the blaze before it spread to neighboring homes. This incident highlights the importance of fire safety for pet owners. The National Fire Protection Association reports that pets start about 1,000 house fires each year. To prevent such accidents, we recommend: Keep pets away from stoves and countertops Secure loose wires and cover chewed cords Use flameless candles to avoid accidents Charlie’s New Leash on Life: From Shelter to Search and Rescue Charlie, a pit bull mix, spent months in a shelter due to breed stereotypes. Fortunately, a local K-9 trainer recognized Charlie’s potential and adopted him. With proper training and care, Charlie’s natural intelligence and strong work ethic shone through. After rigorous training, Charlie earned certification in both wilderness and urban search and rescue operations. He’s since participated in numerous missions, including locating lost hikers and assisting in disaster recovery efforts. Charlie’s success story underscores the importance of looking beyond breed stereotypes when adopting. The American Temperament Test Society reports that pit bulls consistently score above 85% in temperament tests, demonstrating their potential for various roles when given proper training and care. Silent Guardian: Luna’s Extraordinary Senses Luna, a deaf Australian Shepherd, faced rejection from many potential adopters due to her disability. However, her eventual owner, Sarah, saw Luna’s potential and decided to give her a forever home. Despite her hearing impairment, Luna developed an uncanny ability to sense changes in her environment. She learned to alert Sarah to various sounds, including the doorbell, alarm clock, and even Sarah’s young son crying in another room. Luna’s most impressive feat occurred when she sensed an intruder attempting to break into their home. She alerted Sarah by pawing at her insistently, allowing Sarah to call the police and prevent a potential burglary. Luna’s story demonstrates that disabilities don’t define a dog’s capabilities. With patience and proper training, dogs with special needs can lead fulfilling lives and even develop extraordinary abilities. These inspiring stories illustrate the incredible potential of rescue dogs to transform into heroes. As we move forward, we’ll explore how some rescue dogs overcome significant adversity to become loving family pets and even achieve remarkable feats. Triumph Over Adversity: Rescue Dogs Beat the Odds At DogingtonPost, we’ve seen numerous stories of rescue dogs who overcame seemingly insurmountable odds. These tales of resilience inspire us and provide valuable insights for pet owners facing similar challenges. Rocky’s Remarkable Recovery: From Neglect to Nurture Rocky, a severely neglected German Shepherd, arrived at a local shelter with matted fur, malnourished, and terrified of human touch. His rehabilitation journey offers important lessons for those who adopt dogs with traumatic pasts. The shelter staff implemented a gradual approach to Rocky’s care. They started with non-invasive interactions, allowing Rocky to set the pace for human contact. This method, known as consent-based handling, proved effective in building trust. Rocky’s adopters continued this approach at home. They created a safe space where Rocky could retreat when overwhelmed and used positive reinforcement techniques to encourage socialization. Within six months, Rocky transformed into a confident, affectionate family member. Key takeaways from Rocky’s story: Patience helps rehabilitate neglected dogs. Create a safe, quiet space for the dog in your home. Use positive reinforcement consistently. Seek professional help if progress stalls. Daisy’s Journey: From Fighter to Friend Daisy, a pit bull rescued from a fighting ring, faced a different set of challenges. Her story highlights the importance of specialized care for dogs with violent backgrounds. The rescue organization partnered with a behaviorist who specialized in rehabilitating fighting dogs. They used a combination of desensitization techniques and positive reinforcement to help Daisy overcome her aggressive tendencies. Daisy’s adopters continued her training, focusing on impulse control and socialization with other dogs. They also enrolled her in canine good citizen classes, which helped Daisy learn appropriate behavior in various situations. Today, Daisy serves as a breed ambassador, visiting schools to educate children about responsible pet ownership and the importance of treating all animals with kindness. Important points from Daisy’s rehabilitation: Seek help from professionals experienced with former fighting dogs. Focus on impulse control and socialization. Provide mental stimulation through training and puzzle toys. Be patient – progress may be slow but consistent effort pays off. Ollie’s Agility Adventure: Conquering Fear Ollie, a mixed-breed dog, spent months in a shelter due to extreme anxiety. His fear of new situations made adoption challenging until a family saw his potential and decided to give him a chance. Ollie’s new owners discovered that physical activity helped manage his anxiety. They started with short, positive experiences outdoors, gradually increasing duration and complexity. Eventually, they introduced Ollie to agility training. The structured nature of agility courses provided Ollie with clear expectations, reducing his anxiety. The physical exercise helped burn excess energy, while the mental stimulation of learning new tasks boosted his confidence. Within a year, Ollie competed in local agility trials. More importantly, his newfound confidence translated to everyday life, making him a more relaxed and happy companion. Lessons from Ollie’s transformation: Physical activity can significantly reduce anxiety in dogs. Start with short, positive experiences and build gradually. Structured activities like agility can provide mental stimulation and boost confidence. Celebrate small victories – progress may be incremental but meaningful. These stories demonstrate that with patience, understanding, and the right approach, even dogs from the most challenging backgrounds can become loving, well-adjusted pets. They remind us of the transformative power of rescue and the incredible resilience of our canine companions. Final Thoughts The rescue dog heartwarming stories we shared at DogingtonPost showcase the incredible transformative power of adoption. These tales of resilience, heroism, and unconditional love remind us of the profound impact rescue dogs have on our lives and communities. From Max finding love in his golden years to Bella’s journey from abuse victim to therapy dog, these stories highlight the remarkable adaptability and spirit of rescue dogs. We witnessed how Buddy saved his family from a house fire, proving that even former strays can become lifesavers. Charlie’s success as a search and rescue dog demonstrates that with proper training and care, rescue dogs excel in demanding roles. These stories also shed light on the challenges many rescue dogs face, such as Rocky’s recovery from severe neglect and Daisy’s rehabilitation from a fighting background. The impact of these stories extends far beyond the individual dogs and families involved. They inspire others to consider adoption, challenge breed stereotypes, and promote responsible pet ownership. At DogingtonPost, we support dog lovers in their journey of responsible pet ownership (through resources, care tips, and expert advice).

So This Sweet Little Old Lady Had Sign at a Rally in Virginia Yesterday

Polls Show That Maybe Calexit Ain't a Bad Idea

Friday morning on NBC’s free streaming platform NBC News NOW, NBC Capitol Hill correspondent and MSNBC’s Way Too Early host Ali Vitali offered a fawning but mournful puff piece on a Texas family with a 15-year-old transgender child — born a boy but posing as a woman — that’s grown so fearful of their child’s existence and safety they’re leaving the United States for an undisclosed country. A partisan hack through and through, Vitali painted the Gonzales family as an ordinary one with two daughters and their trans child having been publicly active since they were seven when, in reality, they’re a hardened, partisan operation and perpetual stars in the local, state, and national media going back to 2017. Fill-in co-host Brian Cheung led into Vitali by lamenting another item on the agenda for Texas Republicans in the special session is “another controversial battle” in the form of “reviv[ing] a so-called bathroom bill that would require people to use public restrooms according to their assigned sex at birth.” Speaking to Vitali, he continued: “This is the latest in a long string of anti-LGBTQ+ laws that have been pushed by Republicans in the Lone Star State, and it’s that trend toward restrictions that’s stoking fear among families. So much so that one has made the tough decision to leave not just Texas but the United States all together.” Vitali’s piece never mentioned the other side (e.g. parents or students uncomfortable with a biological male in the same locker rooms as girls), instead going full trans propagandist: “It means that this one family that I spoke to exclusively, Brian feared so much for their family, their security that they made the tough call not just to leave the place they’ve called home for so long their entire lives, but instead to leave the country altogether.” She even flew down to Texas and sit at the Gonzales dining room table to play arts and crafts as they chatted before making them out to be victims, almost like they were fleeing persecution or certain death from a certain time period (click “expand”): VITALI: 15-year-old Libby Gonzalez is a lot of things. “LIBBY” GONZALES: She steals my clothes more than I steal her clothes. RACHEL GONZALES: That is so not true. VITALI: A sister, daughter, friend, and she’s trans in Texas, a state that’s one of the most restrictive in the country. LIBBY” GONZALES: I love being here, and I love my friends, and despite everything that’s wrong with our state. I love it here. VITALI: So why are you leaving? LIBBY” GONZALES: Because it’s no longer safe for us. VITALI: So the Gonzalez family is leaving. RACHEL GONZALES: Already crying. VITALI: Not just Texas, but America. RACHEL GONZALES: I don’t think it’s one last straw. It was a buildup. We decided as a family that the onslaught that we knew was coming with. This administration was going to make an environment far too unsafe for our family to stay here. Asked where they were going, mother Rachel said she would “not shar[e] where we’re going because my kids deserve a fresh start” and because of concern for their “safety.” Vitali added this was something “Rachel knows most other families like theirs can’t make,” which was kind of a dead-giveaway about why they wouldn’t say where as it’ll likely make them seem even more stuck-up. Vitali also made it just seem normal that a child would start publicly advocating for pro-trans policies at seven-years-old (click “expand”): VITALI:  The Gonzalez family knows the fight. When Texas considered a bathroom bill in 2017, Libby, then just seven years old, testified in Austin. LIBBY” GONZALES [in 2017]: I am seven years old and I am transgender. VITALI: As Libby’s gotten older, Texas has passed other restrictions, including a 2021 ban on trans girls in sports. RACHEL GONZALES: She’s not a competitive athlete, but — but she wanted to be able to do the things that her classmates and friends were doing and that was taken away. VITALI: In 2022. Governor Greg Abbott instructed the state’s child welfare agency to investigate parents and doctors who provide gender affirming care for trans youth, equating it to child abuse. That’s temporarily blocked now by a court injunction. RACHEL GONZALES: If that moves, my husband and I will be criminalized for supporting our daughter and making the very best parenting decisions that we possibly can. How can we stay here knowing that that’s a potential? VITALI: In the wake of their departure, the very bathroom bill that sparked Libby’s activism in the first place is back in front of lawmakers. LIBBY” GONZALES: It’s just really annoying to see how all of my entire childhood just — [SIGHS] VITALI: In recent years, Texas has become an epicenter for the national fight over trans rights, reaching a fever pitch with this ad from 2024 — TRUMP 2024 AD: Kamala’s agenda is paid them, not you. VITALI: — that left Democrats splintered on the issue. Later, Vitali closed with more pity-partying: “That political debate, a deeply personal one as Libby prepares for what’s next. [TO LIBBY” GONZALES] What does it feel like that you have to leave now?” “It feels disappointing, frustrating knowing that so many people don’t think that I should be allowed to be like anyone else, like I don’t deserve to have the rights that everyone else has,” “Libby” replied. Back live, Vitali shared more from the partisan mom — who appeared on MSNBC’s The Last Word back in October 2021 alongside future Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) to attack what a chyron called the GOP’s “ugly vitriol” — insisted “she wanted to tell this story, to just show people how this issue is more than just politics.” Vitali closed with a P.S. of sorts: I’ve spoken to the Gonzalez family since we taped this. They have moved and they’re settling into their new home, getting ready for back to school. They said they were sad to leave the home that they’d always known, but there was also some hope in our conversation about a fresh start, being in a place that’s more pro-trans, has better access to health care, but also doesn’t have them worrying about how every special session or executive order could limit or restrict Libby’s life. A Nexis search for the child in question — “Libby” Gonzales — garnered dozens of results, going back to early 2017, which included a features in Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Guardian, the San Antonio Express News, Texas Observer, Texas Tribune, and Stephenville Empire-Tribune followed by a guest column on August 17, 2017 in the Dallas Morning News and on-air syrupy report on the August 6, 2017 CNN Newsroom.     That continued two years later with a November 2019 article in NBCNews.com, a profile on the November 7, 2019 episode of ABC’s Nightline. The Gonzales family resurfaced on the May 24, 2021 as it was CBS This Morning’s turn to kiss the ground they walked on. Then with CBS, Mireya Villarreal had the fawning piece, gushing: “At home, the Gonzales sisters are often fierce competitors. But over the last few years, they’ve teamed up to fight politicians pushing anti-transgender bills.”     In the piece, Rachel lamented to her there are too many who “don’t know or don’t know that they know transgender individuals” and thus “demonize people.” This went into the real laugher: “We’re a hundred percent being used as pawns. They are inviting people to debate whether or not our children have a right to exist, whether or not they have a right to public spaces, whether or not they have a right to health care that they deserve, playing sports loving parents.” Co-host Gayle King said “it’s 2021,” so everyone should get with the times, adding “you go, Libby.” Between CBS and Rachel’s MSNBC appearance, “Libby” and the Gonzales appeared in major outlets such as the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (again), The New Republic, NBCNews.com (again), and the Houston Chronicle (which also mentioned Gonzales twice in 2017). 2022 brought more eyeballs and attention with the Daily Beast, Agence France-Presse, and The Texas Tribune in February 2022 followed by a prime spot in the July 22, 2022 CNN documentary Deep in the Pockets of Texas. The next year didn’t see the Gonzales family slink from the bright lights with Nexis showing hits in the U.K.’s The Independent, another stop at The New Republic, and then a new visit to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Last year, Dallas Voice and even the Associated Press joined the foray. So, what’s the purpose of listing all these hits? Take these examples as what can happen when the liberal media try to pass off average, innocuous, working-class Americans when a simple search could reveal they’re a savvy political operator with a particular agenda.

President Donald Trump said he would fire a governor of the Federal Reserve if she refused to resign over mortgage fraud allegations. Governor Lisa Cook is under investigation by the Department of Justice after Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte released documents substantiating the claims.'When someone commits mortgage fraud, they undermine the faith and integrity of our System. It does not matter who you are — no one is above the law.'On Friday, Trump told a reporter that he would take action if Cook did not resign."Yeah, I'll fire her if she doesn't resign. What she did was bad," the president said. "So I'll fire her if she doesn't resign."Pulte posted documents that allegedly show that Cook took a loan on her home in Michigan and declared it her primary residence, and then two weeks later designated her out-of-state condominium as her primary residence as well."When someone commits mortgage fraud, they undermine the faith and integrity of our System. It does not matter who you are — no one is above the law," Pulte wrote. "We have sent a Criminal Referral to the Department of Justice with regard to the allegations against Ms. Cook, and the DOJ should go wherever the facts may lead them."Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts responded to the president's statement on social media."President Trump cannot illegally fire independent Fed Board members. Anyone can see he is trying to find a scapegoat for his failure to lower costs for Americans," Warren wrote.The president has been lambasting the Federal Reserve and its chairman, Jerome Powell, for refusing to lower interest rates. He has threatened to fire Powell despite the chairman saying that he would not step down if asked by Trump.If Cook were to resign and Trump appointed a successor more in line with his wishes, he could more easily influence the policies at the Fed.RELATED: Fed Chair Powell defies Trump, keeps interest rates unchanged despite good economic reports Cook responded to the allegations Wednesday."I learned from the media that FHFA Director William Pulte posted on social media that he was making a criminal referral based on a mortgage application from four years ago, before I joined the Federal Reserve," Cook said in the statement."I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve, and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts," she added.Cook said she had "no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet."Cook was the first black woman to serve as a Federal Reserve governor and was nominated by former President Joe Biden in 2022.Like Blaze News?

The surprise Aug. 21 announcement by FBI Director Kash Patel of a settlement with 10 whistleblowers came before at least some of them had agreed to anything, but ultimately it could indicate that the bureau is ready to make restitution for punishing employees who legally disclosed malfeasance, sources told Blaze News.Patel’s announcement made on X before noon Eastern on Aug. 21 was greeted with cheers, elation, and relief on the social media platform. ‘The next step is for the whistleblowers and their lawyers to carefully review and sign the agreements.’“Breaking: agreements have been reached with 10 FBI Whistleblowers (and counsel) to include a combination of backpay, security clearance, and reinstatement,” Patel wrote in a post viewed more than 1.3 million times. — (@) The key whistleblowers who suffered some of the worst treatment by the FBI under President Joe Biden knew little to nothing about it when Patel announced that deals were in place.“No one has reached a deal,” Kyle Seraphin, former FBI special agent and now a podcast host, wrote Friday on X. In an earlier post, Seraphin wrote, “No deals have been reached, no offers put in writing, no agreements have been signed.”Several administration and congressional sources told Blaze News that was the situation on Thursday when Patel made his announcement, but there is reason for hope in the more than 24 hours since. Clare Slattery, a spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), echoed Patel’s announcement that the FBI would “provide varying forms of compensation” to the whistleblowers.“Indeed, Senator Grassley has been in direct contact with the DOJ and FBI for months advocating for these whistleblowers and assisting in negotiations,” Slattery said Aug. 21. “In light of the director’s announcement today, the next step is for the whistleblowers and their lawyers to carefully review and sign the agreements.” Patel did not name any of the 10 whistleblowers or detail the terms of the agreements.All 10 whistleblowers are represented by Virginia-based Empower Oversight, including former FBI Special Agent Steve Friend and long-suspended FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle. Tristan Leavitt, president of Empower Oversight, said Friday he could not comment on Patel’s announcement.What’s at stake includes years of back salary and benefits such as retirement plans, health insurance and vacation, restoration of security clearances, and potential reinstatement to FBI employment.It’s not clear whether settlements would include compensation for loss of reputation, wrongfully denied health benefits, or, as in O’Boyle’s case, the FBI refusal to pay previously agreed-upon moving expenses.The U.S. Department of Justice recently reached a settlement with an FBI whistleblower who exposed the FBI for weaponizing the security-clearance process against supporters of President Donald J. Trump, those who opposed COVID-19 shots, and employees who expressed intent to attend Jan. 6 protests at the U.S. Capitol.“The FBI security clearance process was completely secret, with generally no oversight from the inspector general or Congress. That’s an environment ripe for abuse and easily taken advantage of,” Leavitt said in a statement on Aug. 1.Steve Baker contributed to this report.Like Blaze News?
