We won our case against DOGE for violating the privacy rights of current and former government employees! The case is AFGE v. OPM, Case 1:25-cv-01237-DLC Document 241 Filed 10/20/26 if you can't get it from the ECF link ecf.nysd.uscourts.gov/doc1/1271405...

Meta gave $1M to Trump's inauguration fund — and Mark Zuckerberg himsef has helped bankroll Trump's ballroom. Now Trump's DOJ has halted a years-long criminal investigation into allegedly enabling and profiting from illegal drug sales on its platforms. Funny how that works, huh?

BREAKING: The Trump administration is using a grant program from the 1980s to force cities around the US to funnel their ongoing collection of Flock, Axon, and other ALPR data into large federal surveillance centers that fall under the White House’s jurisdiction, 404 Media has learned

i keep hearing there is "infinity money" for organizations that want to work on "AI safety" but i can tell you that none of it is going to the organizations that have been working to address AI harms for years. we are all fighting over scraps while new orgs spring up over night with giant budgets

I wonder why Politico is reporting that Flock is hiring up so many lobbyists? Great work from my @fightforthefuture.org colleague Reem and this SF-based anti-Flock coalition!

We live in a police state. Not an exaggeration. This is what they’re like.

Our CMO Chris Miller, in @fightforthefuture.org's Defend VPNs Day of Action recap: "Lawmakers are treating privacy like a loophole to close." Continued below 👇

With VPNs “Germans can bypass controls on "hate speech",the Chinese can work around restrictions on Winnie the Pooh memes, and people in places like Utah can ignore intrusive age-verification rules.” So this is great news reason.com/2026/10/07/f...

VICTORY!!! Last night, the Cambridge City Council voted 8-1 to pass a policy order that deprioritizes the arrest and prosecution of persons for consensual adult sex work. We are one step closer to statewide decriminalization. When we fight, we WIN.

Thanks to all the orgs who supported our policy order! @bostondsa.org @ishtar-collective.net @fightforthefuture.org @woodhullfreedom.bsky.social @mass50501.bsky.social @protectransfutures.bsky.social @hgsuuaw.bsky.social and more!

Trump has been threatening free speech with surveillance programs aimed at intimidating people his administration doesn't like. As of yesterday the lawsuit three labor unions filed against the Departments of State & Homeland Security for this is moving forward. www.eff.org/press/releas...

For #BannedBooksWeek, it's a good time to remember that book bans are moving online in the form of censorship laws, age verification laws, and attacks on Section 230, often framed as "protecting kids." Follow @fightforthefuture.org and take action at BadInternetBills.com to protect freedom to read!

As new technologies develop, policy continues to drag far behind. What we're seeing with Flock & Meta glasses are clear examples of how this is harmful. Our director, @evangreer.bsky.social spoke to @nytimes.com about this. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/24/t...
