I've known of Irish bartenders, Indian programmers and Polish nannies who were all here illegally for years yet I don't see ICE disappearing those people off the streets. Wondering when MAGAts are going to start calling the ICE tip line about those invaders...

Even if you're not going out to exercise your rights in protest, this is still a great guidehttps://www.wired.com/story/how-to-protest-safely-surveillance-digital-privacy/

I didn't miss it, kid. Wrote a whole piece about it. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/padilla-do...

From an immigration attorney friend: ICE raids planned in SF, Oakland, and Bay Area tonight&tomorrow. Ideally folks with dubious immigration status should stay home. Document and share details of encounters if you see them.

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

Highly recommended viewing. "Billionaires building bunkers to survive an AI apocalypse, attempting to disrupt death through cryopreservation, scouting the planet for pop-up cities and network states — are not reliable stewards of the collective good.” youtu.be/ZseJigkUhuE?...

🧵 Masha Gessen, who lived under Russia’s secret police, is sounding the alarm: the U.S. is now echoing those same authoritarian patterns. Raids, surveillance, fear tactics—it’s not theoretical anymore. We are watching a police state take root in real time. #OnYourSide @mashagessen.bsky.social

Good piece on AI hype www.truthdig.com/articles/the...

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest.

Victim complex

A great read. Silicon Valley techbroligarchs aren't doing anything new with their "sovereign cities." They're just recycling the age-old trope of the cult compound. Something the Bay Area sadly knows a little too well. www.thenerdreich.com/jonestown-to...

The fix is in, if we let it happen. Purging voter rolls and simply not counting ballots is how parties with unpopular policies take power. www.gregpalast.com/how-trump-go...
