I've been part of local campaigns to close prisons. There's so much organizing that has to happen. I wish people understood that it often takes years. We're going to need state/county level moratorium campaigns as a start.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

One of the most basic tenets of election security is to avoid creating a Single Point of Failure (SPF). Unfortunately, it appears that SCOTUS created a potential SPF by sanctioning DOGE’s access to SSA databases, which are now a key component of Trump’s voter purge election strategy. 1/

Universities buying into this shit under the guise of "equity" makes me SO angry
Equity for my students would be access to the databases and journals we've dropped subscriptions for. It'd be having a paid human to caption videos and make PDFs screen-reader compatible. Not this shit.

My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity
