Something important to note is that the tech companies and the gas companies have promised each other demand and supply, so massively constraining and killing any threat to that is a key function of the Trump admin
Pure fanaticism, just objectively bad policy especially while building all these new data centers. But also an opportunity for Democrats to say loudly, over and over again, that Trump and Republicans are making everything more expensive. Higher electricity costs impact everything.

After I got fired by DOGE, I wanted to respond to this climate of fear. So I started working at SecureDrop, making software for whistleblowers to communicate with journalists.

Our response to all this is to expand who can run and use our software, while safeguarding whistleblowers' anonymity.
Looking back at 2025
Journalists are working harder than ever to protect their sources. SecureDrop has never been more important

Community radio has an important role to play here.
With the 60 minutes leak, the many recent Epstein releases, etc., I think we are seeing the future of government accountability under authoritarianism:

Leaks, hacks, data dumps, releases of big document caches.

Journalists and the public will have to learn how to digest this stuff. 🧵

Sharing my Epstein et al essay again.

Release every damn file so the full rape-protection systemic racket is exposed so we can blow it up finally and make women and girls safer.

All victims deserve this now.
Re-upping my Epstein essay from August as new information emerges today.

Caution: disturbing descriptions of my and others’ sexual assaults.

Release all the damn files. This is the ultimate test of this nation’s useless partisanship.
"I understand why women are afraid to come forward. I didn’t call the cops on my rapist & I’ve never named him publicly. It’s sure not because I’m protecting him. I’m protecting myself. Nobody would've believed this trailer-park girl vs that Big Man On Campus," @donnerkay.bsky.social writes.

This is the Dovetail Orchestra performing in Bristol last night. Most of the performers are asylum seekers or refugees (from Turkey, Afghanistan, Iran, Columbia to name a few). Dovetail Orchestras are now forming in other cities too. Maybe one day a Dovetail will be at the Kennedy Centre? #community

Are you a UK community radio station? If so please do follow us and we'll follow back. This may be a cry into the wilderness but if one station sees it it's worth it! It would be great to establish a real presence for uk and global community radio on here. #communityradio

Yesterday, I visited my constituent, Amu Gib, who has been detained in HMP Bronzefield without trial since July.

Amu is now on Day 39 of their hunger strike, yet there is complete silence across our mainstream media.

This is an emergency. They must be granted bail, now.

This is extraordinary. This is where we are in our media landscape right now. That this so-called journalist can seriously question whether colonialism is bad. It's so deeply deeply offensive and cynical and absolutely intent on causing division rather than unity. Appalling.
Ah, but bad for whom…? Why don’t Indians see it from the perspective of eg Lord Mountbatten or Empress Victoria?
Julia Hartley-Brewer: Why is colonialism bad?

Me: “When Britain arrived in 1700s, India had 27% of global GDP. After 200 years of theft and millions starved to death, by 1947 India had 3% of global GDP, 90% living below the poverty line, a literacy rate of 17% and life expectancy of 27”

If we listened to ecologists rather than economists our thinking would be much more long term than short term and there would be so many wins from this.

High Costs Are Not an Engineering Problem
They Are a Political–Fiscal Design Problem

Countries like Sweden and Germany do not build transit cheaply because they have better engineers per se. They build cheaply because:

We asked the Pentagon about a Goodreads page linked to the email of a top official that featured pornographic books.

Then, far-right influencer Jack Posobiec entered the picture.
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
