Bluesky dropped the ball not pushing decentralization harder. With MS’s new law requiring ID checks, hosting your own PDS could bypass @bsky.app infra doing it. If there was ever a time to push decentralized options, it’s now.

Boomers wrote another internet law—this time to “protect the children” by banning tiddies, not fixing privacy or healthcare. I break down why KOSA is a joke. 🍈💻 📺 youtu.be/gXoe6s4CF7A #KOSA #InternetCensorship #PrivacyMatters #FreeSpeech

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is a Dumpster Fire
The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) might sound like it’s about protecting children, but in reality? It’s lazy parenting, political theater, and corporate censorship wrapped in a red, white, and blue moral panic. In this video, I break down why KOSA is one of the worst tech bills we’ve seen in a whil

The UK’s Online Safety Act is here—and it’s pure Orwell. VPN warnings, encryption threats, Wikipedia possibly blocked. All “for the children.” I break it all down here: 📺 youtu.be/yhj-Ekwnur4 #OnlineSafetyAct #Privacy #VPN #UKPolitics #Encryption #Orwellian #UK #Cybersecurity

Tea App Faces Lawsuit After Failing to Warn Users

Hot take: calling Bush the devil may have desensitized people to legit warnings about Trump. I didn’t care for Bush, but I do think he meant well for the country. Trump? I genuinely can’t say the same. There’s a difference between bad policy and bad intent.

Childcare is essential in this country, yet in places like my home state of Pennsylvania, the average cost is $14,000/year. Parents can’t afford childcare. Caretakers can’t afford groceries. And Republicans are cutting the programs that help both. The status quo is unsustainable.

The level of open and unchecked Muslim hatred, bigotry, and fear mongering all over TV, social media, and in Congress is disgusting. Members like Andy Ogles shouldn't just be censured, they should be out of this job. And every person silent on this should be ashamed.

Juneteenth is the story of liberation from one form of bondage but it’s also a reminder that the finish line was never just freedom from slavery. In this moment, we have to continue fighting for our shared liberation—no matter who tries to silence us, deny us, or erase our history.

Today, we’re voting on what Republicans are calling the “SAVE Act”—but let’s be real, it’s a straight-up voter suppression bill. They are literally trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to exercise their right to vote. I’m voting NO—hell no, actually.

Republicans’ SAVE Act would further suppress the vote. It’s already illegal for non-citizens to vote. This would disenfranchise millions—married women + trans folks who changed their name, service members, people with disabilities. We don't need more barriers to the ballot box.

The SAVE Act is another bogus attempt by Republicans to suppress the vote — this time, targeting women. It’d make it damn near impossible for millions who changed their name after marriage to vote. This isn’t about integrity. It’s suppression. We’re not letting it slide.
