Coalition for Critical Technology wrote about this kind of technology in 2020 through an open letter.

“Data generated by the criminal justice system cannot be used to “identify criminals” or predict criminal behavior. Ever.”

Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day.

Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

Caregiving, in its many different forms, is one of the keys to fighting fascism. Kim Wilson and I spoke with @palumboliu.bsky.social about interdependence, and how deep care--in an expansive sense, not just for people we know--can be a revolutionary practice.

The genocide in Gaza hasn’t stopped—it’s just slowed. Internet access remains life-saving, but funding for eSIMs has taken a hit. With costs rising and donations dropping, Crips for eSIMs for Gaza needs to raise at least $42K CAD to keep folks connected. Help if you can!

Some of what Trump is attempting to do is unlawful, but some of his shadier maneuvers will likely be supported by the courts. SCOTUS is on his side. I don't say this to discourage people, but as a reminder that the law cannot be our bottom line. Our obligation is to each other, not the law.
