John Oliver nails it. #Flock and these other surveillance systems are just not worth the intrusion. It is time to get our #privacy back.

#Trump is announcing he's going to run for president in 2028. Can #SCOTUS please do their damn job and shut this down before it goes much further? Absolutely unbelievable. This man is a cancer on our country.

Trump announces 2028 presidential bid

Donald Trump has announced he will run for president again, in a move that would breach the constitution.

This #AI craze is definitely not a bubble... 🙄 This is a wild amount of leveraging on the side and trying to keep it out of sight of the public eye. I worry about what this will cause if the floor drops out suddenly.

This is a boneheaded decision. Whoever okay'ed this was either being paid or couldn't think further than two steps ahead. Why would anyone think it is okay for a company to vote in municipal elections, and their right to vote was based on owning land? So more shell corps = more votes.

We're now in the stage of capitalism where corporations get to cast a ballot

WA02 deserves representation they know is voting in their interests, not foreign or corporate lobby interests... Especially not #AIPAC 's interests. It is time to get @repricklarsen.bsky.social out. I would appreciate any and all support in the upcoming primary on Aug 4.

Important work capturing the scale of the damage being done by #ICE and the infrastructure supporting them. We have seen the damage for ourselves but having the data helps prove that these are not isolated cases. Proof the human rights violations are systemic and built into the organizations.

‘Misuse’ of crowd control weapons on ICE protesters led to blindings and traumatic brain injuries, report finds

Doctors and human rights experts documented hundreds of incidents from June 2025 through May 2026 and estimate true number is ‘far greater’

This is unacceptable. #Microsoft were paid stewards of the user's data, and are morally bound to recover it if they are capable. Abusing the user's data by harvesting it. Abusing the user's data by losing it. Abusing the users. Reminder to have backups in different locations.

This mayor's flip-flopping on the issue infuriates me. We all deserve representation that stands up for our values from the onset, not only once it becomes convenient or politically expedient. Do the right thing #ICE #Houston #Whitmire

Houston mayor says feds aren’t forthcoming on ICE shooting

"They control the scene, the deceased, the van, the witnesses. So yes, they control the investigation," Mayor John Whitmire said.

White Hat finds a bug. #Microsoft says it's not a security flaw, so no $ for White Hat. White Hat releases bug. Microsoft bans White Hat for releasing a security flaw. 🤔 White Hat changes to Grey Hat. Microsoft inadvertently set up a super villain arc. Moral of the story: Just pay the bug bounty

While serving stationed in Germany, I saw too many flag covered coffins coming home from the Middle East. A sight I wish no one would ever repeat. Behind every flag-covered coffin was a person who was deeply loved and can never be replaced. May we never forget the true cost of war. #MemorialDay

Now we know why @repricklarsen.bsky.social killed the amendment a few days ago. Just killing the #4thAmendment by circumventing it with the third party doctrine and parallel construction. Your oath is to defend the constitution. It is against the spirit of that oath to find or develop loopholes.

I am a huge fan of Mentour Pilot and their deep dives into aircraft mishaps. I also really enjoy Gutsick Gibbon, Dr. Becky, Cool Worlds, and Anders Puck Nielson to name a few more. If you know more sources of deep dive content, I would appreciate recommendations. I am always on the lookout for more

"83% of #S&P500 boards identified #AI as a material risk. Only 2.7% put anyone qualified on the board to assess it." They don't care. They have corporate socialism, err sorry, I mean "golden parachutes." The fallout is our problem when the bubble pops... Time for an economy for the working people.

No surprise @repricklarsen.bsky.social voted for this. He hasn't seen a surveillance program he wasn't a fan of. Reminder, he saw ~20 years of the patriot act's abuses and said "yes please, may I have some more?" Must be nice not having a spouse or family who has been literally in fear of #ICE

Demand Progress@demandprogress.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Just now, Dem Rep. Rick Larsen & other members of the House Transportation Committee voted to reject an amendment to block federal funds for states & cities that misuse automated license plate cameras for mass surveillance. It’s shameful to prioritize Flock’s profits over the American people.

Good. Landlords don't need to know about that anyway. Getting a bit sick of how people/companies are obsessed with having every data point about a person before doing any work with them. #Privacy #Immigration #Oregon #GoodNews

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 3mo ago

The Oregon House and Senate have both passed legislation that would prevent landlords from asking about tenants’ immigration status. The bill now heads to the desk of Gov. Tina Kotek. thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Billions of dollars to find one low severity vulnerability and three bugs is extremely underwhelming. I think #AI is useful, and we should be advancing it, but I do believe it is a bubble similar to the dotcom bubble. I hope I am wrong for our economy's sake. #Anthropic #Mythos #cURL
