Love when movements share their takeaways and I'm frustrated when movements I'm a part of take it as rules. I prefer when we listen to others and use our collective knowledge about what works for us. I try to remember there is no "right" way to do this.

These clowns at the University of Colorado are going to give minimally $2 million to OpenAI 🫨 www.cu.edu/gen-ai

Courage looks like Haitian meatpacking workers suing JBS for discrimination, despite Trump, Noem, and Big Ag stoking deportation fears and uncertainty. We're proud to represent them. Now, workers from many backgrounds at the Greeley plant have authorized a strike. thefern.org/2026/02/thes...

This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care. It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

@meganpiont.bsky.social Is there a way to request a zine in Spanish or get an editable version we can update? Looking at the Colorado one.

There's one in Boulder, CO leaving at noon from North Boulder Park.

I would love to see a "what's in my bag" series on occupied cities and what's in their go bags. Help the rest of us prepare for when it happens here.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

“All of the great things AI can do might not be known yet, and all of the bad things, too. Let’s just take a more balanced approach as we go.” Unclear how they square going all in as encouraging a balanced approach....

Not really into a peephole that peeps back. 🕷️

The role of cars in our society results in a uniquely American way that state violence is enacted and justified. Renee Good is just the most recent. If you work in any area of engineering, planning, or public admin, what we do is relevant to our current historical moment, whether we like it or not.

It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against an overwhelming force like ICE. But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter-surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Belle journée à tous 😼☀️❄️

I think that some of you are mostly venting. And I get it. But venting is not organizing. And I'm sorry but I don't think people know how to get 10s of millions of people to do anything besides voting in this country.

"I live in a world where one of my best friends has been a [NYPD] target ... I need to live in a world where I can privately send that friend money for anything from groceries to car repairs w/o it being woven into some criminal conspiracy ... & w/o having to explain blockchains & wallet addresses."

Similar subpoenas have been defeated in several other states.

Empty sprouts shelves? Must have accidentally dreamt myself into Pluribus.

I have never come across the word "grapuel" in my life. I've lived in snowy climates for about 16 years. Its precipitation consisting of snow pellets.

The shutting down of power this week, often with little notice and for days, is unprecedented and unacceptable. We can do better, and I will lead the conversation about how we build greater resilience, better support our communities and businesses, and protect health and safety.

Fire is out. Thanks to all the firefighters who got on this so quickly. It looked dicey for a bit

Friday 12:04 am: Great detail in this summary of the breadth of what NCAR does. Way too important to our nation to be caught up in politics:

Free Palestine made a showing at the Lights of December parade in Boulder, thanks to @xians4palestine.bsky.social #BoycottChevron

Colorado regulators want rules in place to shield ordinary household and business customers from getting stuck paying for increased generating and transmission capacity.

THREAD. Today our lawyers will be in a small courtroom in Colorado fighting for a constitutional right for children to hug their parents. Did you know that millions of children every year are barred from hugging their parents because of new policies? Do you know who benefits?

This was obvious with the snap funding freeze, the state freed up $10 million dollars and all went to large food access organizations. The full tapestry of orgs that help out different groups are invisible to many. Not every hungry person can fill out paperwork or go to a central location.

A friend moved into a place built in the 60s and it has amazing original stove, a Frigidaire flair. It's gorgeous, the burners are on a pull out drawer you can stow away. My photo doesn't do it justice. Can fun electric stove r&d get some of that AI money?

People used to say I was being hyperbolic when I would list the similarities between Saudi and the US. I grew up in Saudi and my ived to the US as a young adult. Relieved it's more obvious to people now, it's always been there

Yeah, this is a real reminder that your opsec is only as good as your humans.

AOC: Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans —

A company that made $4 billion in profits last year is scared of organized people. Proud to be out there with striking Starbucks workers last week.

Imagine being a blog about power and deciding to migrate to Substack in November 2025. Kind of hard to trust your analysis.

“ICE does not provide the opportunity for individuals to decline or consent to the collection and use of biometric data/photograph collection” www.404media.co/you-cant-ref...

Boulder County is dealing with a ~$6 million impact in November from the government defunding SNAP.

I love how the food access organizations is Boulder, CO are collaborating right now. Most if the time they compete for resources. But right now they are putting out a shared message and showing real solidarity with the folks impacted by this regime.

"It’s one of the first tests of a George Floyd-era state police reform law that attempted to hold cities and law enforcement officers financially accountable for egregious mistakes on the job — and lawyers are trying to outsmart it.

Why Denver's use of Flock Safety, a company that produces license-plate reading cameras and software, is causing so much controversy.

Faculty at University of Colorado Boulder have voted to support the AAUP Mutual Protection Compact! Take a moment to thank our neighbors for taking this important step toward uniting to protect our state's outstanding institutions for higher education. See: boulderreportinglab.org/2025/10/23/c...

Today, on National Food Day, let's think about the rhetorics and politics of the industrial food system. In contrast, how can we build resilient local food systems that are also based in equity, and why is this more important than ever? #teamrhetoric #sustainability #foodsecurity

Another Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter leader has been outed as a neo-nazi and member of violent white supremacist organizations Patriot Front and Active Club.

I haven’t seen it on here, only on fb, but it’s worth reading what was said at Denver’s no kings rally by the person who was asked to do a land acknowledgement. “You want to fight tyranny? Learn from the people who have endured it for centuries.” www.facebook.com/share/16qnwh...

"When I was younger, I thought I was missing some basic psychological component—a psychic gasket that allowed other people to move through the world, seeing what I saw, without reacting. Unbothered. Uncurious. I thought that the absence of that missing part was eventually going to kill me."

We deserve to know if ICE is using a spyware program to access private information without an owner's consent. Once again, DHS is violating constitutional rights to target immigrants & people of color. I join @repsummerlee.bsky.social in calling Secretary Noem for answers ASAP.

"The organization has tried to fill the gap with produce donations, but transporting and distributing fruits and vegetables is challenging, and multiple patrons told ProPublica the produce had gone bad by the time they received it." You know who is set up to do this? Small food rescues.

like you can do Hegseth's performative MANLY MAN deus vult assed tattooes too and it works, it's all drag, top to bottom, Trump's bad toupee and bronzer all the way down to the social media tradwives, it's all a terminal case of stage IV metastatic gender, always has been
