LAPD shot my finger with a rubber bullet, I was wearing motorcycle gloves with padding but no armor in the fingers. Just got out of seeing an orthopedist, the bone is badly fractured and I very nearly had to have the tip amputated. Please add padded or armored gloves to your safety gear.

I got shot by these exact line of bastards today too. I could hear them saying "is he gonna do it, is he?" And then as soon as i stepped into the street they said "there he goes" and shot 3 rounds around my legs. They absolutely were having "fun" picking targets

Los Angeles Stands up to ICE crimethinc.com/LosAngelesJu... In this report, participants in the clashes of June 6 describe how people came together to defend their community from federal agents. This details the response to the initial raids, the standoff at the detention center, and more.

An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

talked to two people still working at the forest service in rural alaska recently and you guys it is very difficult to describe to you the level of absurdity that defines their waking lives in the post federal-apocalypse

Ebikes are not only the most fun vehicle to ever be invented and the most energy and resource efficient way of getting around a city, they are *also* the best means of getting around a city without being subject to internal and external telematics and surveilance technology.

Remember how we warned that automatic license plate readers would be turned into increasingly expansive surveillance tools? Well, @josephcox.bsky.social reports...

It brings me no joy to share this, but here's an open letter to the leadership of the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) on what is to me a very serious issue with it's autonomy and political scope. (Note: I've worked for and with PKP for decades). ahemnason.notion.site/open-letter-...

If any other journalists are writing about this, we've got an archive on sciop of the site, screenshots, source code, much of which has been removed sciop.net/datasets/tm-...

All tech giants sell targeting users based on emotional state as a service. The misery of adolescent girls is just meta's vile niche. The only fix is to deprive them of the captive market they sell by meeting the underlying need for connection they exploit: help your friends get off corporate social

Facebook tracked when adolescent girls deleted selfies so it can serve a beauty ad to them at that moment. 😳

Trying to get into this app but im still stuck at intro level feeds, what are the good feeds now of days?

A little over a month after we opened the site, we're indexing almost 100TB in torrents of censored, removed, or at-risk public data with 500TB all-volunteer all-donated seed capacity. Not bad. 1: make it exist, done. onto 2: a federated bittorrent tracker 3: bittorrent v3 sciop.net

I Teach Missile Defense Targeting, and That Is All

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr. NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

this is huge for the survivability and shared governance of this network. really awesome work. exactly what needs to happen.

preprints are anti-science because they don't use my platform that is in fact exactly the same as traditional journals just used and read by fewer people.

Further grant terminations from NSF. I don't yet have a list of what has been cut. It's been hard to concentrate today when every email ping could a notice from NSF that another of our grants is being terminated.
