Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 5d agoI can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran.

Judge Richard Federico just did something the regime won't forget: freed a man held 8 months without a hearing and struck the mandatory-detention policy across six states. The fourth appeals court to say no. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-does...

Alt US Forest Service@altusfs.altgov.info · 4w agoPlease read- it packs a lot in you should know. Concludes with a couple key #AltCitizen actions, but the big one is this: “Call the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and tell them to enforce their own law. Section 716 and Section 421 are on the books, and USDA is openly defying both.”

We all need to wake up to what it really happening. This is not a conspiracy theory. Merely criticizing or protesting AI or data centers can label you an anti-tech extremist with the FBI.
'Anti-tech extremism': The government is monitoring AI criticism nationwide, says report
Unpublished documents from federal intelligence agencies and local law enforcement reveal a new term for anti-AI sentiment.
