How do we go from JUST OPPOSING those who try to stifle #FreeSpeech and #QueerIdentities to ACTIVELY SUPPORTING these (and many other) rights?
I don’t have a great answer - but I am reminded of a song my parish sang during a #Unitarian mass:

“Knocking on a door, or even just walking in front of it, shouldn’t require abandoning your privacy,” EFF’s @mariotrujillo.bsky.social told @TechCrunch.com - state regulators must investigate, protect people’s privacy, and make use of their biometric privacy laws. techcrunch.com/2025/12/09/...
Amazon's Ring rolls out controversial, AI-powered facial-recognition feature to video doorbells | TechCrunch
The feature lets you identify the people who regularly come to your door by creating a catalog of up to 50 faces. The company says the Ring feature is opt in and the biometric data isn't used to train AI models.

I am not anti-fascist, I am pro liberation. To be pro liberation means you must defeat fascism, but it also means that you fight to create a world that is liberated for all, not just against the thing that is currently harming you.

So - this is probably a big picture question - but why do we think this is happening?
I think decision makers would agree that we DESPERATELY need more help with cybersecurity… So why do we think the job market isn’t responding?
(I have a few theories, but I’d LOVE to hear other‘s thoughts)

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.
