We are sensing a pattern

If you're wondering why Flock leaves cameras up after a contract end, part of their business model and marketing strategy is being able to advertise that their customers can access data from cameras all over the country. You may have canceled your contract, but the cameras still fuel the system.

Donald Trump doesn’t pick our leaders. We The People do. On October 17, millions of Americans will show up to stop the fascists from sabotaging the midterms. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

In response to Michael Tracey's request for Jane Doe's name, this image was created by Brittany Alexander for anyone who would wish to use it as their profile picture on any social media account. Medusa is often seen as the ultimate archetypal victim of institutional betrayal. #WeAreJaneDoe

Plot twist: *Every one* of the tiny bets will change the world. Some of the payoffs will just be on a larger scale or more recognized than others.

Parts of Indiana have been without power for 9–10 days due to storms. Tens of thousands are currently in the dark (peak was over 300,000). Puerto Rico has been rationing water for 13+ days due to severe drought. Trump has not said a word about either crisis. Not a tweet. A “Truth.” Nothing

Or to put it another way: Anyone who is actually worthy of being super rich -- moral, ethical, kind hearted, caring -- will never become super rich. They will give it all away long before it accumulates to that point.

Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.

Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

There is something deeply cathartic about reading through Kai's posts, after listening to his measured journalism on Marketplace for years, and seeing him absolutely letting loose on our behalf. More journalists should take note: cursing and swearing at our present situation is wholly appropriate.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Major Watson risked 17 years of honorable service to this country to stand up for his convictions. This is what true courage looks like. What are you willing to risk to save our democracy? @flareusa.bsky.social @fsfp.bsky.social @removalcoalition.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social

We can not afford this.

I gotta be honest, setting reasonable limits on the technology for my kids is really easy and I would like the democrats to help with literally any other aspect of having children instead of

8 "Antifa" members just got a combined 450 years in federal prison. The prosecution leaned heavily on an "expert" witness who never spent a day in government or academia - but who spent years at pro-Israel advocacy orgs: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/450-years-...

This take is right. Our recent gains were the result of years of hard, gruelling, grinding work not luckily capturing a moment. In a lot of ways, that's great! It means we can replicate them everywhere. But we have to do the work. It won't just happen.

It’s hard to take a day off. You’re trying to relax but your brain is still burning up with deep thoughts like “people are not angry enough.”

Public Service Announcement: The Ezra Klein in the Dialog leak is the moderate *NYT journalist* who promotes Abundance (& defended Charlie Kirk that one time). Ezra Levin, the co-founder of Indivisible, is a completely different guy. Their political opinions are also quite different!

Obviously, this is great to see, but it isn’t a surprise. The fascists were able to go on their racist rampage not because their community broadly wanted it, but because a small minority called “police” allowed it.

These are the real people of Belfast. Thousands of anti-fascists rally against the far-right at Belfast City Hall today. They sent a clear message that racism is not wanted in their city. Things you love to see ✊❤

Seeing people polarize themselves into thinking Susan Collins is a "moderate Republican" and I'm going to lose my fucking mind. There is no such thing as a moderate *who caucuses with Republicans and gives MAGA control of the government.* Stay in the trench and keep your eyes on the exhaust port.

Taj Ali: "I spoke to a Muslim woman last night who lives in Belfast who said that she knows of a dozen families, mostly Muslim, whose homes had been targeted.. its very important to make clear that this is planned violence, targeted violence against ethnic minority communities"

The problem here is all of these people know they're in a race against the clock to get all of this done before the tide turns. And by "all of this," I basically mean the destruction of anything that could criticize the post-Constitutional technofeudalist society they're hastily trying to stand up.

I think I just read that a leading diabetes researcher was escorted out of a diabetes conference by police for distributing material criticizing the US president's science policy. All while wearing a lanyard and being a presenter at that very conference. What country are we even living in?

We don't have investors. We're working towards becoming a nonprofit, cooperative -- governed by workers and users. We will never empower a Zuckerberg, or a Bezos, or even a Dorsey. Instead, we will all work together to govern the platform an ensure it stays healthy, helpful, and connective.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

The advent of social media created an explosion of pro-democracy organizing across the world. But the owners of those platforms never intended to empower movements, and now they are suppressing them. So we're building an alternative, explicitly to help defend democracy. Join us: communities.social

Remember when social media was actually social? When it was about connecting with people rather than being fed content? Well, we're trying to get back to that and you can too! Come join us at: communities.social
