People have been putting up with near-universal corporate surveillance cuz cops can't get the info without a search warrant. Flock cameras are a near-universal search warrant against all of us. Happily, opposition to them is nearly universal.

In the video, Mayor Mamdani responded positively to helmet shaming Helmet shaming is a wet blanket over bicycling Politicians pit helmets against bike lanes: "just wear a helmet" Helmets make cycling weird, aiding othering Helmet shaming discourages cycling Helmet shaming excuses traffic deaths

Thursday (9/3, 7pm): Monthly all-teams action meeting What: Grassroots Alexandria monthly action meeting When: Thursday, September 3, 7-9pm Where: 3801 Mt Vernon Ave (TWU building), 22305 Why: Because dangerous surveillance is invading our city
This will be a joint meeting of project leaders and team members working on human rights (ICE Out, anti-Flock), pro-democracy action (Community Voices), Environment, and Transportation Equity.
We will be updating each other on immediate concerns (safer streets, abolish ICE, the proposed data center), under-represented human rights concerns (reduce corporate police-state surveillance, divest from apartheid), and longer term issues (2027 legislative priorities).

Today's @washingtonpost.com prints that lowering the debt is "politically unpalatable" next to a headline about billionaires fixing homelessness. Tone deaf. Fact: Taxing the rich is very palatable. The billionaire-captured GOP and establishment Dems don't like it, but the people do.

In a less deranged version of our country, skies full of smoke would inspire us to bold climate action. There’s an American majority that loves blue skies & air we can breathe more than fossil fuel profits.

Chesterfield to Dawes is uphill sidewalk riding... yuk (but maybe useful is riding away from Mark Ctr instead of towards Mark Ctr)

Jonathan Krall @jonathankrall.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
This is what I would do, because I'm familiar with it. But it's longer and involves a demand path between N Chambliss St and Sibley St that runs between apartment buildings. And for 14th St/L onto Rt 7/R onto Dawes I ride directly on Rt 7 for a very short distance (different from what is shown)

Losing my mind seeing anyone try to argue that AI has sentience. It does not!!! Stop confusing it with fiction. The androids and robots in sci-fi have feelings because HUMANS wrote those stories. In reality our AI isn’t actually intelligent, it’s vastly inferior to what we’ve imagined.

How do you square your analysis with this WaPo-ABC poll? Fact: All Americans are unified. We want something different than what we've been getting. Result: Every election will be a change election until something changes for the better. (Hillary, Kamala weren't "change" candidates; Abigail was)
Image says: Nearly 7 in 10 say Democratic Party is "out of touch" with most Americans; more than 6 in 10 say the same of Trump, Republicans.
