First post in my Digital Spring Cleaning series, starting off with Social Media, is out. The why, what, and how. www.liberationtoolbox.io/social-media...

Every country, territory, and stolen land with a United States military installation on it, is occupied. Growing up in Korea it was crystal clear that the pretense of “We are protecting you from North Korea,” really just meant, we are colonizing you in Japan’s stead.

I have a series coming up on Digital Spring Cleaning. It’s a check up on minimizing our exposure to scraping and surveillance. From social media, to non-encrypted platforms, to the cloud, I’ll be sharing tools and recommendations on how to take back control over our precious data.

Of the 100s of 1000s subjected to sexual enslavement by Japan and the U.S. during the Japanese occupation across Asia, there were only 240 women who were officially registered in Korea, because of reasons like social shaming and lost connections. Of those, we now only have 5 elders remaining.

Honestly, support the athletes in other ways, but ban the Olympics. We don’t need a sports war games that also does eugenics testing. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/03/olym...

“South Korea is considered a non-hostile country” by Iran partly because the ROK has not joined in the United States in its attacks. Korean ships will be allowed through the Strait of Hormuz. I hope Korea breaks free from the United States. U.S. out of Korea now.

The only reason any country or people oppose reparations for trafficking enslaved Africans, is because they do not want to end enslavement. They do not want to acknowledge enslavement, because that would mean having to end it.

Hi wear your mask at the airport even before you enter, for the following reasons and more: Airports are the global crossroads of viruses, bacteria, and germs. Facial recognition, biometric theft starts from the outside of the building. Interdependence, not individualism.

Every country having any of the following issues: Fuel scarcity Polluted water, air, land Stolen artifacts Exploited for minerals Displacement War Genocide Do address a lawsuit and complaint to the White House, any U.S. Big Tech corporation, or billionaire.

Just a few months ago, ICE did not have the numbers to dispatch to airports in the way it has so rapidly and densely right now. With a budget over hundreds of billions, they are more funded than the militaries of most entire countries.

If you are in line at the airport, try to get an idea of who is immediately around you. If you’re waiting hours, chat with them. If you or someone around you gets attacked by regime thugs, you have someone to ask for support or document for each other.

Another reason why it is imperative to understand the patterns of Empire is because I CE at airports, is actually not news. They have already been in airports, in Minneapolis, for instance, already months ago.

Many years ago I biked across the United States Empire. It ended up being about 7500km of cycling. It permanently and fundamentally altered my entire being and how I navigate the world. I’m actually biking right now, pulled over on a curb, more shortly.

At this point, and in this world, if any major messaging platform is not using end-to-end encryption, the developers, investors, and company have made an intentional decision to put you in danger. Privacy and security should be standard, not supplemental.

The countries and people pushing for aid and support to Cuba, Palestine, Iran, Sudan, Congo, and Lebanon, without simultaneously also bombing, plundering, and pitting other countries against them, are the ones actually that are actually trying to help.

Cuba.

I care more about Empire being dead, than the diminutive humans who believe they are Emperors. One man can be instrumental in, but is never the sole architect behind wars, colonization, genocides, land theft, and enslavement.

“Made in the USA” meaning toxic, not worth it, and bad quality, to people around the world.

Due to the United States prioritizing genocide and war over support for workers, TSA security lines are exorbitantly long. Even so, it is never a good time to submit to biometric theft.

The United States Empire has never actually won a war. It merely reaps profit by ensuring everyone continues to lose. Witnessing it lose this one in particular, however, and being part of the movements that are making it fall finally and forever, is really something.

To be within the Imperial Core, in the belly of the beast, means we get to shred through it from the inside. The Global South has been sending messages from outside, while fighting the beast for so long. And finally, the majority inside has received word.

I’m glad that in my lifetime I am finally witnessing the shift of people understanding that it’s not that countries and people needed to be liberated by the United States, but that they need to be liberated FROM the United States.

The United States and EU, as a direct result of placing sanctions on other countries, have murdered 40 million people since 1970 by those sanctions, and millions more indirectly.

Another lasting impact of this ziotwin war is that across Asia, schools and work places are closing to save fuel and energy. Some places have switched to 4-day workweeks, and many educational institutions have closed altogether. Many smaller businesses have also closed their doors already.

The United States will lose. It is not trying to win in the first place. It is simply trying to ensure that the whole world loses.

The Undeworld will literally be lined with data centers beneath us. And we are in the time of data colonialism. I have a new piece up at www.liberationtoolbox.io/hell-is-made...

This International Women’s Day, stop men. Even better, men stop.

Empire makes its living by killing.

Whenever the U.S. Empire says they are “freeing” people, what they actually mean is utterly obliterate them with as much militarism and destruction as possible.

Just wanted to say I love you. In case no one has said this to you today already, or has not shown you yet, I hope this "love you" is just one of many you receive and feel today. I feel so lucky and grateful that we get to fight for liberation together. That is extraordinary love for each other.

Sad that South Korea conceded to give over its maps to Google after decades of refusing. I loved that local Korean maps and apps were more prominent and important than Google Maps, which have colonized the world. Memorializing this screen in history:

FUN FACT: If no one uses OpenAl, OpenAl dies. The same goes for many Big Tech corporations and their AI platforms. We are the ones that set the expiration dates. Tell your friends. Tell everyone you know.

Imagine loving oppression so much that all imagination has been utterly stripped from your existence, and the only solution you can come up for anything is war. That is exactly Empire and Big Tech.

Never in the history of the U.S. Empire, has it ever supported the freedom of any oppressed people. It cannot, by definition, since it requires oppression for its existence.

A reminder that the U.S. Empire may, at any moment, choose to do this with as much precision and destruction they choose, to any leader and People of any country in the world. There are zero guardrails. Zero procedure. Zero checks and balances. Zero regulation. Zero soul. Zero out Empire.

Although OpenAI ended up signing, do not forget that Anthropic also already had pre-existing relationships with the Pentagon in developing military AI systems for years. OpenAI and Anthropic have both been murderous and have enabled surveillance systems on people everywhere.

The murder of Rohingya refugee from Burma Myanmar, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, is another cruel and vicious act of violence that shows how DH S is a death machine. It also shows how anti-immigrantism and ableism are deadly. And DH S is the weapon enforcing them.

As of today, Feb 26, Kansas has invalidated 1000s of trans people’s drivers licenses & birth certificates. The new law mandates that identification docs must show the gender that was assigned to you at birth by some stranger who claimed to know you better than you know yourself.

Different names they use instead of what I call straight up Biometric Theft: ※ “Facial Comparison Technology” ※ “Age Verification” ※ “Hands-free” ※ “Touchless” ※ “Frictionless” ※ “Secure ID Verification” ※ “Digital ID” ※ “Selfie Recognition” ※ “Live Selfie” and many more.

The Women’s Hockey team, which is clearly amazing, could go out on their own. Not as a pair to a men’s team, but as THE Hockey Team. Same for all sports. In the process, break down transphobia while we are at it.

Lynchings of Black people are still very much happening. Sometimes it looks like police, prisons, data center locations, toxic waste sites, or the medical system. Sometimes it looks like the BBC leaving the n-word unedited in a pre-recorded airing, while managing to edit out “Free Palestine.”

A lot is happening. Make a list of the truths you know. And a list of sources you trust. Keep focus on those truths and sources. For new information, come up with a few questions to answer about what you are taking in. Truths, sources, focus. Pause and process. Stay vigilant.

Oh you know, me on this 설날 New Year just hanging out with my tinfoil hat so that no one steals my thoughts and destroys my mind. 😆 When I was talking about privacy, security, and surveillance decades ago people said I was being bananas. Not so bananas anymore, huh?

It's February 14th, and I wanted to say I love you, so I make sure we communicate through end-to-end encryption. I love you, so I think about what and who may be watching and listening when we chat. I love you, so I delete or expire data-sensitive messages between us.

I was recommending against Ring long before its relationship with Flock. Amazon ending its relationship with Flock does not change my recommendation against it. Do not use Ring, ever again. Try to disentangle from all Amazon products and services entirely.

On this heart day, here’s hint at a gift we’ve been working on for us. Because I love you. I love us. Even more so now, than ever. Something good, coming soon. Asian. Queer. Culture. Everywhere. OUTSIDE CHAPTER.

ALL Big Tech companies are involved in surveillance and militarism. It is simply that Amazon and Palantir do not give AF about showing it. To take down Empire, we must take down Big Tech.
