Hey kids! If you work hard enough you can end up with unaffordable student loan payments to go to a university run by cops who demand you catch their respiratory viruses, and where you’re not allowed to think of people of color as human beings…that’s THE Columbia University in the City of New York!

I too wish there were more options, but at a certain point, you either align with the bad guys or you tell them to eat shit. You’ll lose resources either way, but only in the former do you lose your integrity and purpose

Librarians went to Honduras with scanners & hard drives and rescued TB’s of secret police data from a warehouse slated for demolition & carried the hard drives back to Texas. Libraries are also rescuing data deleted from federal websites. That’s why they’re defunding libraries.

Did we know Trump was going to use "anti-drug" rhetoric to drive policy? Yes. Did we suspect he would rely on it to justify extra-judicial targeting of alleged drug dealers? Yup. Did we realize he would use it to threaten the sovereignty of our Canadian neighbors? No, but perhaps we should have.

Since 2001 a lot of folks have said the broad powers granted under the Patriot Act were dangerous and here we are. If you get labeled an "enemy combatant" you have no rights. Who decides? A secret court. Who decides which judges go on that court? It's a secret. 🙃

Jackie Robinson's story is a totemic history about race and America. Future retelling of that story should include the fact that in 2025 the Department of Defense erased him from their website. It is a new part of this history.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Millions of Americans — especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities — rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service. Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable — all to enrich the billionaire class. We cannot let it happen.
