Cheney is dead, but the horrible architecture he wrought is in Trump's hands. If you are a technologist or you work in tech policy, I challenge you to commit to building movement relationships and fighting the structures that have enabled men like them. www.techpolicy.press/its-time-for...

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

You talk about how people fall for Fake Black people But your article doesn’t interview a single real one

Rough afternoon/early evening. I'm not sure how many ICE abductions in our area. Too many. Sending love to everyone impacted by this violence. Grateful to everyone who patrolled and documented. They're not done, and neither are we.

This is the piece I wanted to read tonight. You should too. I wasn't 14 or a hijabi when 9/11 happened, but it was a foundational (and scary) moment, one I've been thinking about it a lot (related article for TPP coming soon). Thank you Heba for writing this one.

Hey Democrats: Schumer wouldn't even endorse Mamdani or say who he voted for. Maybe, just maybe, stop letting him lead the Senate Dems?

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

This person took this when they called the race

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature. dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/03/c...

States should refuse to sign or ratify the Convention. Those that have already committed to signing should adopt concrete human rights safeguards. Read our full statement 👇 www.apc.org/en/pubs/join... #Cybercrime #CybercrimeConvention

Excited for my #MozFest2025 session on "Reimagining content moderation" with @jillian.bsky.social. Content moderation advocacy has become more difficult just as human rights online and offline are under attack. Let's talk about ways forward together! schedule.mozillafestival.org/session/19

We feed 200-300 people every Saturday in Tompkins Square Park, you want to buy us some hot cocoa mix don't you, you sexy minx! www.amazon.com/registries/g...

they are trying to kill every trans kid in America when these rules actually come out, they will be open for public comment and all of us need to flood submissions, call our reps, make noise, everything including the kitchen sink unconscionable evil

Smash your Ring doorbell to pieces first thing today if you haven’t already.

I've never been more inspired to get involved with Wikipedia. New winter project- becoming a part of the Wikipedia community and editing pages, because screw grokipedia.

I'm so sad to be missing the joyful return of #BreadAndNet to an in-person format, but I will be watching online. For everyone there in person- please enjoy this precious opportunity to be with each other unfiltered through screens or platforms, and welcome newcomers wholeheartedly.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

and may we present you with:

Just like most other things wrong in our world, the loneliness epidemic has its roots in capitalism. Thinking relationships should never have any discomfort and that always prioritizing yourself is "good boundaries" is capitalism. Revolution has to be rooted in relationships, or we will lose.

Shout out to everyone else who like me who left the US with some privilege but still a lot of sadness. It sucks. I never thought I'd miss anything in the US as if it were home, but I wasn't thinking about the people. I miss my people, and I worry about a lot of you too.

Preliminary results show that the current framework of "AI" makes ppl less likely to help or seek help from other humans, or to seek to soothe conflict, and that people actively prefer that framework to any others, literally serving to make them more dependent on it.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

Also, she has the super creepy cult of personality vibe that authoritarians have.

Oh okay

💯, say it again. Katrina is right next to 9/11 in terms of things that showed Amerikkka's ass. It's been out there, folks, why are you surprised at how pasty and unwashed it is now?

This is important. It's ridiculous to try to use material support in this case, but it was also ridiculous to callHumanitarian Law Project's peacebuilding efforts material support too, yet it happened.

just putting it out into the universe that if you are trans and have had issues with any of the age verification implemented in the US or the UK, i'd love to hear about your experience. DM or signal me at jsmn.01

New from me on productivity, AI, and the problems in how we measure it: “AI’s core function is completing goals as if they were a yes/no checkmark: having a text, rather than writing the text; having a numbered list of ideas rather than finding a good idea.” www.techpolicy.press/generative-a...

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Ratio me? I think sometimes people think they are being edgy but they aren’t. It is not edgy to support the head of one of the largest news organizations in the world. Like. It’s okay to just say you like adjacency to power! Own it!

Not me sitting here crying over a preview of a country song.

Very into this energy. never underestimate the power of being annoying.

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

Consider taking a break from social media and looking up from your device. Also, when was the last time you had some water?

Oops, CEO of Bluesky mocking people asking why dangerous transphobes aren’t being banned. Starting the countdown in my mind to this site being unusable for me. Glad I didn’t get too comfortable, and I hope I‘m wrong.

Canada and the UK's new immigration laws are blatant attempts to suck up to the fascist United States dictator, and it will not end well for us.

Incredible that these little fascist toddlers are passing laws to protect lawmakers (who have access to security) from doxxing. Many of the people they are so “scared of”, like myself, survived doxxing attempts with no help at all ten years ago and the same people tried to gaslight our concerns.

There are so many disturbing aspects to this order that have historical context. The title echoes back to 1996 “Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA)“ <1/many throughout the day> www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

“You Have Not Yet Been Defeated“ Those words have been ringing in my head the least 24 hours, often followed by tears of joy. I’ve never met Alla, but maybe now I will, someday. The “you” includes all the people who never gave up fighting for him. It worked. It really worked. Thank you.

I'm not the first to notice the reinvention of @wired.com from mouthpiece of tech ideology to showing everyone else how to do journalism today, but this cover is something else. The inclusion of their own hagiographic covers in the back is a nod to that shift, which is beautiful. Also…

Shout out to all the cis women out there responding to people calling them trans as a slur with “So what if I am?” I see you, putting yourself at risk out there. That’s showing up for trans people for real.

I”m scared for my autistic friends in the US. Even more for my trans autistic friends in the US. I don’t know any undocumented trans autistic people personally but I’m really really fucking scared for them ( and grateful for the mutual aid work still happening in the US).

It’s a good idea to known how to talk to a lawyer, and know a little bit about movement lawyering. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about strategy, even if you’re working with a public defender who may not have experience with political cases. <1/2>

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

everything about this is iconic, from the hair to the shoulder pads to the reveal that she addresses herself as “bitch” to the absolute murder in her eyes in that first shot. that is a woman who homophobes would cross the street to avoid for fear of their life. absolute ally goals

Great reporting on one of the moments that should have warned us. The Arab Spring saw a moment when we thought tech would liberate people, then like a dream that moment passed. Today Myanmar is sunk deeper than ever in horrors, riven by civil war, while countless people are pressed into slavery.
