"Your sacrifice will echo through generations. We will tell our children, and they will tell theirs, of the guardian angels who stood tall when hate knocked at our doors. Your legacy is etched in the heart of our community - a living history of compassion without limits, courage without borders."

I further do not think 12M Haitians should be forced to live under US installed gangs and unelected puppet governments because the US is still made that they once freed themselves from slavery

I do not think 11M Cubans should all starve and die because the US is still mad that they once almost got a little communism in there

I can be angry about rising fascism and also angry about facial recognition built into surveillance glasses at the same time, not only because these things are directly related, but because I contain fucking multitudes and all them are mad all the goddamn time.

there is no punishment adequate for these beasts.

doing the cool thing but complaining about it the entire time to deal with the stress? man after my own heart

The non-surprising idiocy of advocating for computers to have any kind of responsibility.

Sighted users often use bold or large fonts to create the appearance of headings in documents. People using screen readers have no way of understanding these visual cues. Use heading styles from the styles menu to correctly format headings.

The United States government is retaliating against 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his family for having the temerity to challenge their unlawful detention with a habeas petition. That’s retaliation. This is Kilmar Ábrego García all over again. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Our External Education Committee spoke with musician and YouTube video producer @bennjordan.bsky.social about his recent work on surveillance, privacy, and 'gadgets for people who don't trust the government'.

the subreddit for the high school robotics league i participated in is currently in uproar after it's come to light just how enmeshed one of the league founders was with Epstein www.reddit.com/r/FRC/s/KWvx...

Once again: I will not vote for Newsom. He's anti-trans, anti-homeless, anti-Black, pro-prison, pro-ICE, anti-healthcare, and is friends with fascists. He'll lose CALIFORNIA in the general, you dickless dildoes. We are saying so now to give literal years to find a non fascist-lite candidate. Jfc.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me 5 classes you took in college: 1. Anti-War Literature 2. Compiler and Runtime System Design 3. The City in Modern South Asia 4. Combinatorics and Graph Theory 5. Intro to Costume Design

Here's a repo with each dataset's complete list of URLs. I'll be adding some helper scripts and other metadata to it later on github.com/niemasd/Epst...

Artificial intelligence isn’t all that artificial. Data workers around the world collect and annotate data, train, and evaluate AI models. That’s why in 2025, we documented the working conditions of U.S.-based data workers, and the irony of what we found is stark. @alphabetworkersunion.org

Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.

semi-regular screaming into the void about privacy stuff: you do not need to use Google forms!!! CryptPad offers a form/survey application that meets the same needs, is private and open source, and has excellent privacy controls! cryptpad.fr/form/

If your self driving vehicle can't bring itself to a complete stop in order to avoid hitting people, then it is not safe. "But it was going too fast to-" Make it drive slower then. "Well the detection system is only so-" Build a better detection system.

“It did help me realize how important it is that we’re still at the point where people run to danger, and where people assist and help when someone’s being taken, and that we’re not at the point where people turn their eyes or are too afraid to see what’s going on.” lithub.com/everything-w...

That's how you do it. Staggered.

Why not call for a general strike? You know something that will actually be effective?

New GAO report finds CBP has failed to consistently provide required medical care to people in custody. 57% of adults with potential illness/injury and 20% of pregnant individuals did not receive required medical assessments from August 2023 to August 2024. 🧵

This is fucking gross

Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our new tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

ICE has recently bought the capability of monitoring the location histories of entire neighborhoods worth of phones. The data is likely harvested from apps that sell your data, which filters up through data brokers and eventually to companies that sell to ICE: www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

We love to see it! Community-created harm reduction infrastructure to contest the alarming integration of AI agents into the Windows operating system (which is currently the most reckless deployment environment) ♥️ github.com/zoicware/Rem...

I know it’s not the point here but the delusional belief that body cameras make anyone safer has repeatedly been shown to be false, and more people need to know that the only thing body cameras do is increase law enforcement budgets. I’d hope the Senate minority leader would know how to get informed

my first time in Tijuana was a trip to the vet for my cat. I was there alone via the pedestrian crossing & an Uber, I only sorta understood where the pedestrian crossing back to the US was random lady I met in the waiting room drove me to the crossing and texted to make sure I got across okay

SCOOP: In testimony from a CBP official obtained by 404 Media, the official described how Mobile Fortify returned two different names after scanning a woman's face during an immigration raid. ICE has said the app's results are a “definitive” determination of someone's immigration status.

this is the kind of AI/ML that I'm *actually* excited about. this video is a ham radio operator demonstrating an open source machine-learning-based signal processing library that can make very noisy radio signals into human-understandable speech youtu.be/3ibeDfdiarA?...

Do not accept the idea that local officials can't do anything because the FBI "cut them out." They should run their own investigation. If the Feds try to stop them they should force them to arrest cops and DAs. The mayor should go on TV demanding the release of his officers. No business as usual.

absolute goober

Strippers have done so many good things over the years and almost never get credit for them

weak-willed fomo-brained CEOs who don't care about the artists they employ: "i only use it for placeholder text!!!" me, an intellectual: "lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud

I thought the idea of being a hacker looked cool. then a perfect storm of > spite towards run-of-the-mill sexism in high school robotics > the CS Degree Industrial Complex of the 2010s > my dad & uncles encouraging me towards the family business (being a computer dork)

when I was 12ish, my family needed to bring a meatloaf to an event. mom was busy, so asked me to make it. I'd helped before, but never made it on my own. recipe called for 3 large onions, but we only had small. I estimated that 2-3 small was equivalent to 1 large. We could not use that meatloaf.
