Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.

THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.

I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

Every day is a trainwreck for climate science. Stay aware of what is happening, and speak out!

Fortunately, I saved all of these documents in advance of the rumors of the USGCRP (National Climate Assessment) being targeted (which I was really hoping were not true).

All that data comes together... to help us how?

“Starting July 7, Gemini will gain access to four key [Android] phone services: Phone, Messages, WhatsApp, and Utilities [..] regardless of whether you’ve turned activity tracking on.” https://www.laptopmag.com/ai/gemini-phone-access-update

Well the “NOAA Climate” and “NASA Climate” social media feeds - a key tool to communicate the massive challenge of climate change to the world - are now gone.

I want this button E V E R Y W H E R E.

PSA: Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr., so Scientific American published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new administration.

There have definitely been some significant changes to the NOAA Climate website (https://www.noaa.gov/climate) in the last 24 hours...

For example, removing links and references on the page to 'Climate Ready Nation' initiatives. Stripes are gone too.

The National Weather Service this week issued the very first heat advisory in Alaska, but it wasn't the first because of unprecedented high temperatures. Details in the latest post from the Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason.

If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half.

To be clear — here is what is happening

DOJ orders ICE to arrest people—even without a judicial warrant

People see these violations of their rights—peacefully protest

LAPD confirms people protested peacefully—as is their Constitutional right

Trump fabricates claim of violence—deploys National Guard

Fascists escalate violence to justify their existence. That’s what Trump is doing. Don’t fall for it. Stand united with our neighbors against this tyranny.

🚨BIG STORY: Senators put a line into the crypto bill requiring bankrupt banks to prioritize remunerating crypto investors over depositors.

The provision could require banks to take cash from your savings account & use it to pay senators' crypto donors.

Here's the address of every immigration court in the country along with codes to access the hearings. An informed public is what ICE doesn't want. https://www.justice.gov/eoir/find-immigration-court-and-access-internet-based-hearings

PSA: No matter what, do not let the Elon Musk and Donald Trump feud distract you from the fact that both have collaborated to rob us of basic healthcare, basic civil rights, and basic economic security—while lining the pockets of billionaires. This childish feud appears entertaining but is ultimately a distraction.

Stay focused on ensuring we stop this horrific bill from becoming law.

Tracking code that Meta and Russia-based Yandex embed into millions of websites is de-anonymizing visitors by abusing legitimate Internet protocols, causing Chrome and other browsers to surreptitiously send unique identifiers to native apps installed on a device, researchers have discovered. Google says it's investigating the abuse, which allows Meta and Yandex to convert ephemeral web identifiers into persistent mobile app user identities.

“Every authoritarian who successfully destroyed judicial independence did so because civil society failed to unite in time,” Bonica writes. “The key difference? Whether people mobilized.”

The most dangerous part of the BBB (big-beautiful-bill) isn't getting enough mainstream media coverage. Trump has inserted language to make following court decisions optional for his agenda. Senators should be flooded with demands to remove this part of the bill.
