John Walker Lindh, the Bay Area man who fought with the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001, was released today from a federal prison in Indiana.

Lindh, 38, was released after serving 17 years of his 20-year sentence for supplying services to the Taliban and carrying explosive devices — a rifle and two grenades — while doing so. The release after 17 years resulted from credit for good behavior.

QUESTION: Do you think John Walker Lindh’s citizenship should have been revoked since he was fighting with the enemy?

Talk about it.

It’s currently unknown when they plan to open, but the new signs are up!

Two larger spaces remain vacant in the shopping center; the old OSH and the former credit union. As of today, no announcements have been made about what business might possibly fill those locations.

Big thanks to ClayDen for the tip.

Congressman Mark DeSaulnier (CA-11) announced the introduction of the Bots Research Act, a bill to establish a task force of experts at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to determine the impact of automated social media accounts, commonly known as “bots,” on elections and public discourse.

“We now know that bot accounts were actively used by foreign agents as part of what the Mueller Report characterized as ‘sweeping and systematic’ interference in the 2016 presidential election. These accounts pose a clear danger as weapons that spread false information and manipulate public opinion and threaten free elections and the democratic process,” said Congressman DeSaulnier.M688 Lance Loader-Transporter Kit DRAGON 1 35 DR3607 Model

The proposed task force, which would be comprised of government, academic, and industry experts, will define what qualifies as a “bot,” identify how broadly these accounts are used, and recommend how best to combat their influence and effects.

The task force will report its findings to Congress.
