Together with the Freifunk Berlin volunteers, Ester Jang from @seattlecommunitynetwork.org is setting up WiFi repeaters all over DWeb Camp! 🛜 Attend her talk to learn more about community networks, especially about her work in Seattle. ➡️ Full schedule here.

The new report from UW researchers came out right after that email. And guess what? The data is still being shared and it’s the reason there has been a massive uptick in these kidnappings. @governorferguson.bsky.social knows. @mayorofseattle.bsky.social knows. @atg.wa.gov knows.

@moneyontheleft.bsky.social, do you have any further info?

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi. The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges. America must secure her release NOW.

In a statement to @benmullin.bsky.social, Scott Pelley disputes what Bari Weiss said in this morning's editorial meeting, claiming he was never offered "a way back" as she claimed. "These executives cannot gain the trust of the staff with lies. This is antithetical to everything we stand for..."

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

And finally, what about: - AI surveillance and false identifications - AI weapons targeting - suicides and school shooting planned with AI - AI medical misdiagnosis and treatments - AI insurance and benefit denials - AI security bugs and supply chain vulns None of these are fixed by open models.

ALL THESE CONCENTRATION CAMPS ARE ILLEGAL. 5A: "no person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" ? 8A: no "cruel + unusual punishment" 14A: "nor shall any State ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Pam Bondi obstructed the release of the Epstein files, violated the law, & denied transparency to the public and survivors. The cover up continued today with Bondi’s closed-door deposition because this White House is afraid of the truth coming out. All to protect Donald Trump, not survivors.

“Data Center” is such a tame way to say “slop factory”. These huge warehouse complexes aren’t places Spotify stores our music preferences. These are places buying every last GPU so companies can replace customer service workers with chat bots. And our government is paying them billions to do it.

Each of these dimension has been subject to substantial critique: data extractivism, the devaluation of creative labor, large-scale exploitation of workers, neo-colonial expansion, the wasteful consumption of natural resources, as well as the TESCREAL ideologies fueling the development 4/

I've been warning about this moment for two decades over at Techdirt The U.S. is too corrupt to regulate data brokers (and their exploitation and sale of location data) and the check has come due

All together class.... Ken Paxton is.... PROJECTING!!!

The Vatican could have told Anthropic to stop stealing data, exploiting labor, killing the environment, deceiving us with anthropomorphic designs & lying about product "capabilities." Instead they partnered with them, like partnering with Sackler family to discuss harms of oxy.

I can see where the old "enchanted sword will consume the souls of all who touch it" trope come from.

Support for the re-election of Orban’s corrupt, racist and pro-Russian govt in Hungary reveals the true fault lines of our new geopolitics. Putin, Trump and Netanyahu on one side- anti-liberal democracy- and UK, EU and Canada on the other, supporting it. Most likely to be the shape of our next era.

Come to the Seattle Community Network fundraiser dinner on Saturday March 28th, 6:30-8:30 PM! Zylberschtein's will give 10% of proceeds to our nonprofit, It's a $40-$45 meal, family style. The founder Esther and her jazz band will be providing live music. Come with all your friends and loved ones!

My latest on Russia assisting Iran in targeting U.S. troops and interests. And a reminder on how Russia did this before in Afghanistan, when they offered bounties to Taliban militants to kill Americans.

I have different opinions. I review LLM-generated code far more often than I like. It's the worst part of my job, and probably my career. I really want to see a John Henry-style humans vs AI code-off. With a 6-month follow-up to see how that genAI code is doing.

Dear @bsky.app, How does one submit a bug report against the Bluesky Moderation Service? It seems to have hallucinated an "antifa organization", and if that's the expected quality of "moderation services", then it is indeed time to find a new Atmosphere platform.

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

There needs to be a general strike. Do whatever you have to do but do so with the knowledge that no matter how you slice it if you participate in the American economy you are powering the gears of global terrorism.

The Epstein Drop: 1. Insider bets big on a long prediction. 2. Drops a few credible anon tips to stoke the market. 3. Loud RW pundits drive outrage campaign, odds get longer. 4. When odds peak, insider drops unredacted evidence confirming prediction. Repeat for every name in the Epstein files.

Sent to your office, @cantwell.senate.gov : Why do you continue to affirm unqualified, compromised people to positions of power, under an illegal, corrupt and violent want-to-be dictator, with full knowledge it will lead to further suffering and death? Response requested.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Serious answer, @prisonculture.bsky.social: - States' attorneys - Supported by state police - To upheld sworn oaths - To protect the constitutional rights of their residents When each state joined the Union, it enacted a state constitution. I expect my state to protect those rights.

BREAKING Charles Kushner, the US Ambassador to France, has been banned from meeting with members of the French government after he failed to show up to a diplomatic summons with the French Foreign Minister.

Rebekah Caruthers: “Our concern is that there is more friction and more barriers being injected into our system in terms of registering to vote and accessing the ballot. That creates more barriers, and as people run into them it decreases the likelihood of them actually voting.”

While waiting for my #Xbox to reboot (Remnant #NMS hard-reboots my Series X, don't play on an important save), I ponder a universe that has FTL, teleportation and hand-held gravity manipulation, but has not yet invented the flat-bed tonneau cover.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks.    If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.   And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

Dear @governorferguson.bsky.social, What's your plan? Why would you dine with a convicted felon, rapist and the main character in the Epstein files? Sincerely, Concerned citizens.

If you're looking to 3D print Seattle specific whistles for your community, we've linked the files below. This model includes the WAISN hotline printed on each. www.printables.com/model/148543...

If you are in Seattle and have been wondering where all these protests have been heading, we're moving out. Come join us. @cascadiadaily.com @cascadiaresisting.bsky.social @cascadiabioregion.bsky.social @cascadiademocratic.bsky.social

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

We've reached a place where people are ready to call these folks the liars, hypocrites, and bigots that they are. But that's not gonna stop them. They won't remove themselves. They have to be removed.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
