Yes, you should be surprised and horrified by secret federal police running around our city kidnapping immigrants, crashing cars, launching chemical weapons and shooting and killing people. This is a thing you should be *perpetually* shocked by. We lose when we become numb to it.

We need to be asking @governorferguson.bsky.social where he’s at on this issue

The Feds nothing but a weapon against anything Blue to this regime. We are gonna spend 4 years fighting their escalation, then they are gonna try to keep power anyway.

What are Washingtonians getting out of this deal?

Conservatives have built their own social media platforms, Trump has his own Twitter alternative, his allies are buying major social media platforms to weaponize for their propaganda and influence and we’re still arguing if having a left-leaning social media platform is a bad thing

Don’t worry, I’ve already made the mistake of not putting that in other scripts and paid the price 😂

The freeware app I used for managing the temp files Final Cut Pro generates that can blow up your HDD got bought out, and is now asking for a yearly subscription, so I decided to roll my own script to do the same function

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Incredible watch, and stoked to see the corking materials we’ve worked hard on finding their way to a broader audience, as intended. Solidarity with Seattle and every other city showing up to keep people safe.

Cork the streets.

Congrats, @swiftonsecurity.com. You were in my LinkedIn feed this morning.

A tweet from SwiftOnSecurity from three years ago reads (via LinkedIn post...

"I'm sorry to report that working in Security is less "bleeding-edge malware research" and more "project manager for people who don't report to you."

Higby has continued agitating. Crowd (including a large, obnoxious press scrum) has him backed up against one of the barricades now, chanting, "racist, go home!"

Outside the Broadview detention center, ISP + Broadview PD are still blocking Harvard + 25th. It's officially after curfew.

One organizer is urging some remaining protesters to leave (they are mostly ignoring the plea). It's truly mostly press here now, including a number of far right/chud media.
