Proud to march with Seattle union members and leftists on May Day! @wfse.org @seattledsa.org @wsna.bsky.social

Glad to have the support of our member of Congress in May Day! @wfse.org @jayapal.house.gov #mayday

If a company selling AI is offering training on that same AI, that's not actually training, that's a sales pitch. You can't trust the devil who's trying to sell you a bridge.

i was told by john roberts and sam alito that racism is over so i won't worry about white republicans in the south jumping over themselves to end black political representation wherever they can

Please read the article all the way through. This is not every passport. This is a "limited run" of 25,000. You're not going to have Trump on you passport unless you ask for it.

I love @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social but I think this is a real missed opportunity. @ericblanc.bsky.social @socialists.nyc @dsaelectoral.bsky.social #nyc #newyork jacobin.com/2026/04/mamd...

TDLR: Cokeheads' livers are baby-birding cocaine to salmon.

starbucks just partnered with chat-gpt idk if this is how its supposed to work??

I have been online and arguing about politics for nearly twenty five years and not once have I ever seen anyone respond to vote scolding with anything but "fuck you" if you want to be mad at people for not voting, sure, knock yourself out if you want them to vote next time, try a different tactic

you'd have to be this young and dumb to think you could beat a handsome Australian man in a contest of expressing snide confidence

Please sign on and send a letter to the Seattle city council saying you don't want to see data centers here. It'll take less than 5 minutes #Seattle #datacenters #ai #kingcounty actionnetwork.org/letters/18b9...

The editors of Wired (@wired.com) appear determined to turn an article about GrapheneOS into a hit piece. Wired contacted James Donaldson, CEO of Copperhead, and appears to be treating his thoroughly debunked fabrications about the history of the project as their primary source. This is outrageous.

I don't feel any different at 36 than I did at 35, but now I just moved up a demographic category? 😡

I cannot stress enough the benefit of in-person interaction for leftists. Zoom and Signal are no substitute for a happy hour meetup or a hiking group. Get to know people! If we want to combat the tendency of left groups to split, one thing that helps is camaraderie. @seattledsa.org #solidarity

"There’s a chilling effect on not just my academic freedom, but that of my colleagues; anyone who dares to speak out against the war and against aggression,"​ said UW professor Aria Fani.

It's in Tukwila, and on a weekday, so you'd have to take a day off of work, unfortunately. But if you're in a union it's a good opportunity to network with other labor people about resisting AI and organize inter-union solidarity. #solidarity #union #ai #genai @wfse.org @aflcio.org #Seattle

NEW: The grassroots organization that Katie Wilson founded sent her a letter demanding she cut surveillance tech. They join a contingent who feel betrayed by Wilson who says she TECHNICALLY didn't break a campaign promise with surveillance switch up. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/the-adv...

It was at 400 this morning

Everyone should immediately block @attie.ai. Absolutely no AI in my social media feed. Nope. I've already had concerns about @bsky.app's moderation decisions, now I'm thinking about leaving.

Somebody tell Andy Weir.

The best part about 1917 is SD leaders told women not to turn out for International Women's Day protests in March because it was a lib-coded distraction and they wanted to save their juice for May Day. Instead the women turned out anyway and those protests literally sparked the revolution

Y'know what, I'm still with it "War don't sex" that's right brother, peace fucks

IDK who designed this, but please, make better signs for the next protest. This is objectively terrible graphic design. We could've had one good sign but instead we got a mishmash of three. @wfse.org @aflcio.org @wfselocal889.bsky.social #wfse #graphicdesign

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Had a professional staff conference today with the Attorney General's Office. I got my picture taken in my new union jacket with WA AG Nick Brown. @wfse.org @nickbrownnow.bsky.social #WAGPRO #union

Iran looking to formalize its control over the Strait and its power to receive tolls from favored nations in exchange for freedom of movement says India, Pakistan, Iraq, Malaysia and China are in negotiations now to establish rules of transit www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

10 or 15 years from now there are going to be a lot of people with major skill deficits because they used generative algorithms to write their essays, or software code. What's that? Did someone say Butlerian Jihad? #genai #ai #aislop #skill #dune www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-indus...

Turn them off. It's that simple. #Seattle #mayorkatiewilson #katiewilson @mayorofseattle.bsky.social #surveillance #privacy

I visited Havana in January 2023. The Cuban people were already struggling with shortages of antibiotics and painkillers. Now the Trump administration's escalation of the embargo is killing people in this hospital. #Cuba #embargo #solidarity #Trump

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

Congress dialogue tree: A. Sorry, we don't have a majority B. Sorry, we don't have a supermajority C. Sorry, we have to support the president D. [say nothing, avoid all media]

Honestly, the best-case outcome in this war is that America gets its teeth kicked in by Iran. If "we" win it will only embolden Trump and further encourage imperialist ambitions in the American political class. We need to be humbled. #imperialism #Trump #solidarity #Iran

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

NEW: The same people who got Katie Wilson elected are collecting signatures for a letter demanding she turn off the surveillance tech she campaigned against. You have until March 17 to sign on. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/the-gra...

Americans really need to relax about the decline of American global dominance. It may be a rough adjustment for some but we'll be alright in that long run. Spain lost most of its remaining colonies in 1898 but they've adjusted to being just another country.

Thoughts and tapas, y'all... 😆

Everyone should be actively avoiding apps and services from the big tech companies. A lot of open-source or End-to-end encrypted apps are limited in features but so far Ente has been a full replacement for Google Photos for me. ente.io #E2EE #opensource @ente.io #security #privacy

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history.

Finally, there is an outlet for my persistent annoyance at 43rd LD Senator Jamie Pedersen's hesitance to challenge big business: a primary challenger! @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social @43rddemocrats.org #Seattle #WAleg #Washington #43rdLD @wadems.org

I wrote about the House hearing today, how Congress is trying to strip anonymity from the Internet, and the devastating effects that has for journalists, whistleblowers, LGBTQ ppl, immigrants, civil rights activists, abortion providers and anyone challenging power for @theintercept.com

You should expect any company you do business with to cooperate with law enforcement if presented with a valid warrant. The only way to keep your payment information completely secure is not to give it to a them in the first place. @proton.me #privacy #surveillance #security
