Good, because most electeds with “experience in governing” right now are either fucking up or actively supporting elites and fascists Who is this headline supposed to alarm @nytimes.com ?

this is theranos-level fraud, but everyone with the power to do anything about it is on the take, apparently

What, exactly, does this string of words mean? Why does everyone who stands to profit from selling "AI" love to repeat it? And what's the value of slogans that masquerade as history? sonjadrimmer.com/blog-1/2025/...

Silicon Valley, 1990s: Free and open access to all the world’s knowledge will usher a new utopian age of information! Silicon Valley, 2025:

Google has moved from moral cowardice (removing ICE tracking apps) to direct complicity in the violent, unconstitutional abuse of vulnerable people. As a civil liberties lawyer who worked at Google for ten years, this one hits me in the gut.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

Brandon Silverman explains how many social media platforms have made their data — and therefore their role in any number of societal concerns within the public interest — increasingly opaque by limiting access to researchers, even as they sell that same data to companies.

Tonight, Senate Republicans — aided by eight Democrats — passed a funding bill that will raise healthcare premiums for millions of Americans and leave some families without health care at all. Let's discuss.

Next year’s midterms will be crucial. Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans have spent the past ten months making life less affordable and more uncertain for working families.

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Stories like this demonstrate why retaining our right to develop and use VPNs is so critical @fightforthefuture.org @eff.org

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

If Andrew Cuomo is the right choice for fascist, right-wing billionaires, he’s the wrong choice for NYC. This isn’t complicated.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

What are the legal mechanisms that enable a private company to put 2-ton surveillance boxes that can drive 60mph on public streets? Genuine question. Did we (SF residents) vote on something that allowed this takeover?

Companies are often forbidden from telling customers when they hand over data to authorities. To counter this, Israel reportedly worked with Google & Amazon on a secret system to alert the government when Israeli data is given to foreign investigators. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

This is a sad but correct decision. Thank you, @python.org, for committing to your values when it matters. I would love a list of organization that have made this kind of value-driven decision to donate to.

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

I don't think it's worth putting much stock into any company's Human Rights Values document, generally speaking—they are highly malleable and mostly for show. But if they're going to publish them, we should be asking why they aren't enforced.

💯 “anger on both sides” is just weaponized paradox of tolerance en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox...

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

There are laws about how to interdict suspected criminals on the high seas. There are laws about how to renovate federal buildings. There are laws about how not to monetize the presidency. There are laws. We should enforce them. And not normalize the flagrant violation of them in the newspapers.

It's official! 🏛️ 🎉 The SF Board of Supervisors has unanimously declared October 22, 2025 as Internet Archive Day — celebrating our 1️⃣ trillion webpages preserved & our mission to provide universal access to all knowledge. Learn more & celebrate with us tonight! ➡️ blog.archive.org/2025/10/22/h...

Happy Internet Archive Day to all who celebrate. The Internet Archive is hitting its trillionth webpage archived, and - as a long time collaborator and historian of both web archiving more generally as well as the Internet Archive specifically - am happy to join them for this milestone.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

“This single protest didn’t solve everything, therefore it’s pointless”-person who believes they know more about political organizing than you do

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

If you are going to a No Kings protest this weekend, be sure to review our Surveillance Self Defense guide for attending a protest and bring Rayhunter along for the ride! ssd.eff.org/module/atte.... eff.org/rayhunter.

This makes sense coming from the guy whose son monitors his porn consumption

I feel like if your AI company has to apologize to the estate of Martin Luther King Jr you should just flood your servers and walk into the ocean

Hey @nytimes.com, did you change your headline, and change "Islamophobic attacks" on Mamdani to just "attacks," because Elise Stefanik and the GOP bullied you into it? Really? Why are they no longer Islamophobic attacks, as your headline originally and correctly stated?

In our non-DEI meritocracy, Larry Ellison's son bought CBS so that Bari Weiss could then put her sister on air.

I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go, …but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, you need to do something about these ISP goons attacking protesters like @katmabu.bsky.social.
