The disasters caused by monopolies, and oligopolies, that are overwhelmingly corrupt like the insurance industries, never ends. We need to change how these systems are able to work foundationally. youtu.be/eVgIlDsBXZY?...

All monopolies use Open Source as the basis for almost all of their technology, and they themselves do not usually realize it when drinking their own kool-aid, watching their own commercials that tell them how innovative they are.

Open Projects like these are critical for refining policy and ways to achieve goals that can keep the future livable. And to be frank, Open Source projects are likely to be our only path to an economy that allows us to survive and curb climate crisis - companies & politicians certainly won’t.

"We list these “carbon bombs” by name, show in which countries they are located and calculate their potential emissions which combined exceed the global 1.5 °C carbon budget by a factor of two... 40% of carbon bombs have not yet started extraction"

Our Open-source Hardware Infrastructure for The Netherlands (OSHNED) has been granted :) This will strengthen and improve coordination among the hubs in the Netherlands (Wageningen, Eindhoven, Delft, VU, Radboud) with a single goal: making Open Hardware the standard in science.

Open-source communities, small businesses, law professors, patient advocates, and thousands of individuals all told the USPTO the same thing: we need a real way to challenge bad patents. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Seattle Councilmember-elect Dionne Foster showing up for baristas at Starbucks HQ! #NoContractNoCoffee

No Contract, No Coffee! 🚫☕️ Honored to stand with @sbworkersunited.org baristas in their fight for a fair contract with living wages and safe staffing. It’s unconscionable that Starbucks continues to stall negotiations. Support workers, no Starbucks until contract! ✊🏽

You don't have to buy anything during Black Friday sales. But if you want to, you don't have to buy from soulless megacorporations. You can buy from small independent businesses that make funny little things. For example, today's Low Quality Ad, this funny little Newspaper pin. collabs.shop/1jt9a0

Had a solid talk with Marcin from Open Source Ecology on Open Source! Check it out! www.youtube.com/live/uNVKqlh...

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

THIS IS HUGE: No Kings Alliance just announced they're going to mobilize in support of our striking baristas. No kings in the White House, No kings at work! www.commondreams.org/news/starbuc...

The US Pirate Party will be talking to Marcin Jakubowski from Open Source Ecology, on our Podcast “Talk the Plank”! Tune in 7pm EST Nov 14th, to hear about the Global Village Construction Set and talk about working toward an Open Source Economy and self-sustainability! youtube.com/@unitedstate...

It’s a given that the FreeCAD community is awesome and make amazing things. Every now and again though a project really stops us in our tracks. None more so than this, the SL-24, an open source record lathe. blog.freecad.org/2025/11/11/f... #FreeCAD #OpenSource #Maker #MadeWithFreeCAD

Post-Election Team Meeting... Who knew election reform was so sigma!?!

These flyers are being spotted hanging around Starbucks HQ 👀 Even SSC (corporate) workers know CEO Brian Niccol's turnaround plan is NOT working. The solution isn't for Starbucks to continue to fighting their workers. It's to finalize union contracts and put an end to union-busting!

They are actively trying to murder us. In some cases they've succeeded...

Tall reforms and short reforms lead to better #democracy! #RCV #RankedChoiceVoting #OpenPrimaries

The party added that Rand previously appeared as a guest speaker at the Pirate Party’s 2022 national conference. During the endorsement meeting, the party said he focused on a pragmatic approach to local government and that he otherwise aligned with the party on its key values.

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

#BlackoutFriday economic boycott. Tell your friends. Save money for Small Business Saturday. Yes, we're also promoting protests on 05 November in DC and 20-22 November in DC.

Absolutely. Local shops and businesses are the backbone of freedom of democracy. Weakening local business weakens the economy and democracy by concentrating power in the hands of the few. We need to not just support local businesses, but empower them with Open Source focused on local economies.

"Viruses don’t take vacations. The longest government shutdown ever puts everyone’s health at greater risk because the data and reports that are essential for monitoring the spread of diseases haven’t been updated for weeks." — me in @huffpost.com

Union Busting monopolies hasten themselves towards collapse and mounting competition. Unions push back the overwhelming corruption inherent to any company that grows into a monopoly and stabilize it to some extent. These companies are too corrupt to understand though, they need more competition.

Union Busting is unacceptable, a union is a bandaid, a stop gap measure by people stuck in a monopoly trying to not be suppressed into an untenable situation. Without a union, the corruption of a monopoly causes them to doom spiral, monopolies cannot survive without unions yet still hate them.

"delay" more like union busting. fuck Rockstar for firing 30 employees that were all union organizers.

RN, the money from your coffee habit goes to the quarterly profits, the shareholders, and the C-suite. Support the workers, support the strike. Make it so they don't need tips to even survive.

Some of you have asked about the 20-22nd November evening events. Thursday night is a VIP meet-and-greet with some of the Removal Coalition partners and personalities. Friday night is a comedy show, and Saturday night is a kick-ass concert. Tickets here: https://www.removetheregime.com/

OK everyone, we’ve got less than a year to prepare and orchestrate a phenomenal mid term election. We must all do our share and work hard to take America back from the criminals, pedophiles and felons. Take America Back!

When even the New York Post is calling him out:

Protest in DC 20-22 November. 20th is Congressional visits, the last day before they break for Thanksgiving. 21st is a veterans rally. 22nd is a massive rally and Dropkick Murphys will be there. Join the Fam of Liberty any day that you can. If you cannot make it all 3 days, be there Saturday.

This is also true of basically every scientist

Everything. The Science, the Engineering, the local level resource production methods, the decentralized manufacturing tools, everything. We don’t need any monopolies or government to interfere with the economy, everything can be decentralized and local and open source.
