Under current law, tech companies and data brokers are free to collect, analyze, store, and sell our most personal data for profit. And they are doing it every day. We need a 21st century privacy law in Massachusetts to protect us all from harm. TAKE ACTION: mobilize.aclum.org/a/pass-enfor...

Can we at least be honest and say “human rights” instead of “cultural issues”?

Anti-war march, Ottawa

If you’re not sure how to feel about fights over the rights of trans youth and the rights of parents “concerned” about or opposed to their identities - our this describes someone you know - or you just want an explanation of this SCOTUS order - I think this piece is really helpful.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

CBP kills

You should be able to criticize your government anonymously online. Full stop. "Age verification" legislation is just a pretty name for "forced online ID checks," meaning everything you post is associated with your government name We have to stop this. theintercept.com/2026/03/05/k...

"Sex Workers Tried to Warn Us About Age Verification Laws." We did not listen.

Tell Congress to oppose additional funding for DHS and ICE and their dangerous policies: hrc.im/dhs

We thank @aoc.bsky.social for speaking the truth about age verification in the House E&C hearing today! As she stated plainly, and we agree, age verification is a smoke-screen for censorship. It is NOT about kids safety!

I'm challenging Congresswoman Clark because she will not fight to Abolish ICE or stop funding ICE. She's not serious about getting to the root of these problems. Instead, she insults your intelligence by pretending these reforms will stop the violence. We need a bold vision. Not empty rhetoric.

My brothers in Christ-Across-the-Pond, let me tell you how much we’re appreciating the whole right to jury trial-as-hedge against authoritarianism part of our common law heritage right now. Not the time to be trimming back on the Magna Carta.

WTAF are “progressive “ state AGs like @newyorkstateag.bsky.social and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov doing endorsing KOSA, which a lead sponsor has said will be used to drive info about trans people and abortion access off the internet? Check out badinternetbills.com or just write them with your thoughts

The First Amendment fully protects our right to record ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and other government officials performing their duties in public. Know your rights while filming, and what to do if you're stopped or arrested for recording. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

This was always an obvious lie. Now we can confirm “clean capture” itself was always a fantasy. Even more important: Even if you *could* somehow “capture” all carbon from tar sands extraction, the whole point is to then transport and *burn* it. Tar can’t be “low carbon intensity.” Shame on Carney.

As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it

the fact that the Iranian government ALSO murders lots of Iranians does not make being bombed constantly somehow less shitty. i know this is apparently a hard concept for some

the reality is that for many many people in the US, Iran is an idea––a comic book villain that has been integral to our national storytelling project for decades––rather than a country where almost 100 million people live. people with hopes, dreams, and complex lives just like ours. fucking hell💔

This is horrific. And 100% fascist. Surrender your driver's license if you're trans? WTAF! And if not, you can be arrested and tossed in jail with members of your assigned sex at birth?? Kansas friends, holy shit. This is NOT OK.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

I agree, but I must then ask why did you vote for the cruel, divisive, MAGA-trending, anti-human rights, anti-refugee Bill C-12, @yasirnaqvicdn.bsky.social? And why for this Government not revisit the STCA given the MAGA mockery of the Refugee Convention?

As people outside of cars, we’ve all been at the receiving end of right turns on red. How many near misses have you experienced or witnessed as a result? Yet City staff recommends against a blanket ban of right on reds. Oppose their recommendation. Take action now! 👇 bikeottawa.ca/2026/02/21/r...

"Massachusetts cannot stop everything ICE is doing, but we must stop being complicit." #mapoli harvardpress.com/Opinion/Lett...

Two issues I'm pondering. One is that you can't move this many people without inflicting tremendous physical and psychological harm on those deported and on society itself. The second is that left in place for years, mass detention on a whole new level will be normalized. It rarely vanishes. [1/3]

Stipulating that law feels more fake every day in the US… Is there a due process/property interest in retaining official recognition, via ID, of your name or gender, distinct from (in addition to) any rights to receive it in the first place? I feel like I researched analogous case law a decade ago…

On the heels of this post last night, I wrote about using the term "concentration camp" and why it matters.

Helen Lewis is back in The Atlantic with "Youth Gender Medicine Is Indeed Up for Debate". It is a masterclass in manufacturing consent, framing the capitulation of medical bodies to political terror as a calm "return to reason."

I support this petition to end fossil fuels forever. You should, too! act.350.org/sign/end-fos...

Our work at Fight has always been exposing & disrupting the use of dangerous surveillance technology, from the very first time we shouted “Ban Facial Recognition.” This time is no different. www.banfacialrecognition.com

This is one of the reasons we're demanding immediate action from lawmakers on the city, state, and federal levels to ban automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) outright. Take action and spread the word: www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/stop...

When a bill seeks to redefine gender based on reproductive systems, what does it mean for intersex people? The @texastribune.org talks to intersex Texans on the risks they see, like increased nonconsensual surgeries on children to fit them into these categories. www.texastribune.org/2026/02/11/t...

Less than 6 months ago @discord.com had a data breach exposing ID’s of 70,000 + of its users but …apparently hasn’t learned anything? ID checks don’t make the internet safer, they make us all more vulnerable. www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

Overheard at home: “And you know me, I’m not going to manage that well with a fluid-filled sac…”

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

I am so over this. Reminder to call 311 if you or someone you know needs a warm place to go. Full list of warming centres and cold weather resources from @ottawapublichealth.ca: www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-he...

This is an extremely useful lens through which to see almost everything Trump does, and how the media treats it/him

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

There's no such thing as a good billionaire. Their very existence is at odds with a functioning democracy.
