Today is the Day of Remembrance. Eighty-three years ago today, FDR signed Executive Order 9066. It gave military authorities the power to create “military exclusion zones” from which any class of citizens could be removed.

It's Trump's fourth week on the job and he's already taking a week-long vacation in Florida. Tell me more about how nobody gets anything done when they work from home.

Vote YES for Prop 1A to fund social housing that is publicly owned, permanently affordable, green, and sustainable by taxing the wealthiest corporations! Prop 1B doesn't create a new revenue source, diverts existing funds away from affordable housing, and is mostly funded by wealthy corporations.

A woman and an adorable anthropomorphic house hold up flyers and stickers supporting Proposition 1A outside the Amazon Spheres. Vote Yes on Prop 1A! Social Housing for All. Vote by February 11, 2025.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

“Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed

A photo of Aaron Swartz (1986-2013) when he was 19.

Last month, Meta admitted to torrenting a controversial large dataset known as LibGen, which includes tens of millions of pirated books. But details around the torrenting were murky until yesterday, when Meta's unredacted emails were made public for the first time. The new evidence showed that Meta torrented "at least 81.7 terabytes of data across multiple shadow libraries through the site Anna’s Archive, including at least 35.7 terabytes of data from Z-Library and LibGen," the authors' court filing said. And "Meta also previously torrented 80.6 terabytes of data from LibGen."

Please remember something: if you had said a year ago that Trump would do even a fraction of these things, you would have been mocked, belittled, accused of “Trump derangement syndrome,” and dismissed by certain people. Identify those people and block and shun them.

If you make yourself the target of a federal criminal investigation because you can't control your stupid social media posting, people will rightly consider you an unsafe person to organize with. Nobody wants feds up in THEIR shit because you couldn't stop fedposting. People have real work to do.
