Ex-Workers' Collective @crimethinc.com · 05/03/2026On March 1, demonstrators converged on the Federal Building outside the Twin Cities, temporarily blockading ICE inside it. On one side of the building, fifty people established a shield wall. Sheriffs attacked immediately, but they held their ground for almost an hour. crimethinc.com/BlockWhipple 112838

jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 09/12/2025the actual id is broadcast via bt & wifi protocols, so step 2 is extracting the message from the respective packets from the neighbor's fpv drone to the local pd's drones if the state imposes blanket surveillance on us, we should be able to surveil them too 💜 1/1 010
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 09/12/2025so faa req's drones broadcast a unique id + some location data on the drone & the pilot. but there's a catch; the spec's proprietary so heres an reference impl of the core data types & (de)ser system instead: github.com/jtriley2p/drone-id 0/1github.comGitHub - jtriley2p/drone-id: Remote ID for Unmanned Aerial SystemsRemote ID for Unmanned Aerial Systems.

jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 29/08/2025it was honestly eye opening just how consistently the "left blindspot" was just low factuality, ragebaiting garbage like we know reactionary news lies but the extent and consistency of the sensationalism was smth i wasn't as aware of until ground news still unsubbed to it tho 010
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 19/08/2025interestingly, there are technical foundations for this in crypto systems, but to serve the public interest we have to strip out capitalist mechanisms "cryptoeconomic" mechanisms can be replaced w community trust assumptions; but audibility, validity, and distributed consensus work out of the box 041

jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 25/06/2025abolish detention alone as a means of punishment, most crime is a result of material conditions and improving them would drastically reduce crime there's nuance to other cases, but this arg tends to focus on rehabilitation and constructive correction over isolation and forced labor 000
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 19/06/2025happy juneteenth, great book for today: revolutionary s*icide by huey newton chattel slavery abolition was a significant step but from far from the last in black liberation from nestle's malian slaves to the systemic violence against the black community; there is no freedom until everyone is free 050

jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 07/05/2025idk who needs to hear this but liberation is abolition of systemic oppression, not granting freedom to participate i don't want venezuelans to work at ice i want to abolish ice i don't want women to be healthcare ceo's i want to free luigi 182
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 22/04/2025clothing is also important, but it can be reused and redistro'd many times re data/information, i'm making a push for sovereign infra in the local community, but it is secondary to food & such atm. plus it takes time to get ppl to migrate; we're *just* getting everyone on signal 2/2 020
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 22/04/2025food is constantly & desperately needed; the black panthers started their free breakfast program bc they realized that food insecurity drastically impacts student's performance ofc this needs funding, but growing our own food for distribution makes it significantly cheaper and more sustainable 1/2 120
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 22/04/2025love this! i started going to libraries again bc they had the books that corporate book stores wouldn't sell, but as an adult, libraries feel like such a radical space. the free renting of books and tools is great and the exchange of ideas in a genuine third place is almost surreal 💜 140
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 21/04/2025for more on these ideas i highly recommend: @andrewsage.bsky.social's youtube for speculative and actionable items youtube.com/@Andrewism prince shakur's direct action & mutual aid videos: youtube.com/@PrinceShakurYoutube and read about the black panthers! particularly about their mutual aid 8/nyoutube.comAndrewismHi!

jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 21/04/2025the library economy does not abolish the notion of personal property but rather creates a shared space for the cataloging, renting, repairing, and replacing of objects which we may not need all the time. the basis of the library economy is of human connection rather than capital exchange 7/n 130
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 21/04/2025one speculative system for a solarpunk collective is that of a library economy. this codifies a basis for human existence where we share labor to meet the basic needs of food, water, shelter, and consumables while reusable objects are shared rather than owned. 6/n 160
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 21/04/2025the movements for black liberation in the us especially set excellent examples for direct action the black panthers led free breakfast programs for tens of thousands of school kids african american people consistently lead trainings and guide others on political dissent and civil disobedience 5/n 151
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 21/04/2025true solarpunk requires a radical rethinking of how we collaborate, how we produce resources, and how we appropriate these resources mutual aid groups volunteering labor and resources to share between one another without hierarchies or institutions is something we can contribute to _today_ 4/n 130
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 21/04/2025no corporation will ever be solarpunk. punk is antithetical to the current socioeconomic order, business is the exploitation and perpetuation of it. skyscrapers with trees will never make up for the oil spills, the destruction of indigenous land, and the decimation of our ecosystems. 3/n 130
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 21/04/2025so-called crypto "solarpunks" miss the mark on sustainable mechanism design bc they operate on the principle that capital incentives are the basis for human coordination. we are not capitalist creatures, we are mutually interdependent, social creatures in a capitalist hegemony. 2/n 160
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 21/04/2025every solarpunk is first and foremost a gardener. if you cannot grow your own food you cannot take your sovereignty back from corporations which control our food supply. the tools and water may be appropriated from corporations for some time, but do not let this stop your first step. 1/n 220
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 21/04/2025solarpunk is a fascinating idea; one where humans and tech co-exist in tandem with a tightly integrated relationship with nature. but there's an attempted co-opting of solarpunk both through corporate greenwashing as well as crypto groups. let's talk about it. 0/n 182

jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 19/04/2025we think of revolutionary action as a short series of discrete significant events, but conversely it is long, continuous changes in behavior, from the way we source food to the digital platforms with which we interact stay activated, get organized, build coalitions peace 💜 4/4 040
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 19/04/2025the black panther party knew this and served free breakfast to thousands of kids across the united states zapatistas know this and maintain agroecological systems w the indigenous peoples of chiapas farming nonprofits know this and distribute the food they grow this is revolution 3/4 140
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 19/04/2025there are groups everywhere which focus on food distribution, know-your-rights trainings, red card distribution, ice-watch, seed distribution and farming training food and housing insecurity are drags on revolutionary action. we cant fight back when we fight each other for survival 2/4 130
jtriley (any/any) @jtriley.com · 19/04/2025public demonstrations, civil disobedience, banner drops, flyer posting, these are great for awareness on broader issues, but these are not solved immediately in the meantime, people are hungry, people are being abducted, people are houseless. mutual aid picks up the slack 1/4 140
