If you are using Signal, and you are doing something the government considers illegal, the way they are going to read your messages about it is they'll arrest the person you sent the messages *to* and make them show the logs. We see this technique appear repeatedly in "Jan. 6" court filings.

Hearing DOGE is cutting off access to EIA and NREL datasets 🔌💡

I will never not be mad that legacy media allowed "the price of eggs" to stand in for "we're too fucking racist and misogynistic to vote for Harris" and now there isn't a single giddamn word about it. Meanwhile, at Publix today there are just a handful of egg cartons going for 8 bucks each:

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

FYI, I'm not ignoring the world on fire. Just posting my silly things in between to give people a little relief as the bombs drop.

This is an amazing quote, from a Jan 6 prisoner who is refusing Trump’s pardon. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Media and digital literacy are key to disrupting disinformation. --clapping back/arguing just helps to amplify bad faith accounts & false material --don't share "funny" disinfo to dunk on it; some will still believe it --BLOCK, REPORT, and tell others to do same *without* sharing disinfo content

Angelenos, Mutual Aid LA made this list of resources during the crisis. It's very helpful. Please share.

Talk about a fun lunchtime encounter - I got to meet @mulaney.bsky.social while picking up lunch today! John, good luck in rehearsals for ALL IN!

So much of my day is spent at the keyboard, so I'm thrilled when I get to go see steel in the ground. In this case, 50.7 MW of #solarpv owned by MN8 Energy serving up clean electrons for Brown University in #RhodeIsland! pv-magazine-usa.com/2024/11/21/b...
