the only dyke drama i want to read about in the Boston Globe is about Maura Healey cozying up to AI companies while throwing trans kids under the bus

I'm begging AI skeptics and people who are highly critical of the "existential risk" frame to think like organizers and approach this moment as an opportunity for power building rather than an opportunity for correcting and scolding people you think are wrong. Try to meet people where they're at.

Congratulations. You’ve now forcibly associated everyone’s online speech with their government name and purchase history. And your system doesn’t work because teenagers can have debit cards. Next

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

if a thing that you believe would require dozens or hundreds of people to be "in on a coverup" you should probably question the thing that you believe. most injustice happens right out in the open. the gears of late capitalism aren't really all that hidden. we don't need to make shit up.

Remember this? 7 months ago. Now they're announcing "voluntary" layoffs. Activists have been speedrunning abolishing Flock and you love to see it.

This Flock camera is running obsolete, end-of-life software. - It's on Android 8.1, released in 2017, support ended in 2021 - It's on Android patch level 2018-06-5 - It's running Linux 3.18, released in 2017 This shit is like 8 or 9 years old, and full of vulnerabilities.

With all the doom and gloom headlines about AI apocalypse, I wrote for the NYT about something hopeful: the successful and growing rebellion against Flock cameras. People do care about their privacy, it turns out. You just have to show them a viable path to reclaim it. (Gift link)

a funny thing that i bet not a lot of people know is that you can get booked to be on TV, get all ready to go on TV, and then get "bumped" because Trump farts or says something weird and not only is this completely normal it is to be expected

"It might seem like Flock cameras & backlash to them sprung up overnight but it’s really the product of years of organizing led by racial justice, immigrant rights & civil liberties organizations" - @evangreer.bsky.social via @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/o...

A square graphic with a lavender-purple background and a large, blurred silhouette of a person in the center. Bright yellow quotation marks appear near the upper left and lower right corners. “NEW YORK TIMES” is displayed in bold yellow text at the top. A large white quotation occupies most of the image, stating that grassroots organizing can help people control technology rather than technology controlling people. Near the bottom, yellow text identifies Evan Greer, and a small rounded portrait shows a person with shoulder-length dark hair wearing a black top, photographed indoors.
