EFF has created an open source tool called Rayhunter to detect cellular spying (like police running cell-site simulators) that runs off a $20 hotspot.

We should primary our reps who aren't doing enough. Who is going to run in WA-09? I hereby pledge collecting $400k to support you.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Rep. Smith needs to put down the milquetoast talking points and meet the moment or else face a real primary challenge. Who is going to run?

Truth sandwich The President does not have power to ignore the courts. John Yoo and Robert Delahunty essay recently invoked Cambodia case claiming Pentagon "ignored" a court order. The legendary Burt Neuborne sets the record straight in this brilliant essay. (Burt argued the case in 1973.)

This is an excellent legal analysis of the administration's recent anti-DEI actions (the executive order and last week's "Dear Colleague" letter). Faculty and school admins take note. tl;dr version: If you like your school's DEI programs, you can keep your school's DEI programs.

Seattle people: Protest downtown today at Noon at the federal building. Let’s give local media an excuse to explain what Musk is doing to destroy our Constitution.

You have questions. Mostly of the "What Can I Do to Resist This Coup?" variety. Choose Democracy has answers. Here's a really handy guide to the how/what/why of organizing... Share widely. Link here: choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

I don't mean to be flippant, but something to think about as you signal-boost and consume reports/posts: when you see something about ICE being spotted somewhere, insert the word "cops" instead and see how it reads. If "Cops spotted in (state)" isn't a helpful warning, "ICE" isn't either.

Some unalloyed good news. A fast, reliable blood test will make life easier for so many women, who currently have to have a diagnosis confirmed surgically and can wait as long as 8-10 years to get to the point where a doctor refers them for it.
