I guess I should have been on here saying to everyone "please leave, please leave, if you can if you don't need to stay for family if you can afford it please leave."

Pushed to the Outskirts: Tunisia Must Actively Protect the Digital Rights of sub-Saharan African migrants in Rural Areas, Cultivate a Culture of Digital Literacy, and Combat Online Hate Speech to Fulfill its Responsibilities Under CERD – International Justice Clinic Menu

Sub-Saharan African migrants in Tunisia are being relocated to rural areas where internet access is weak and online hate speech flourishes with impunity.

SMEX and the International Justice Clinic expose how, under international law, Tunisia’s actions violate its obligations to protect its migrants

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Members of the community yell towards Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino and federal officers while they conduct an immigration enforcement action Friday in Waukegan.

Facebook's 'Real Name' Policy Can Cause Real-World Harm for the LGBTQ Community There are myriad reasons why individuals may wish to use a name other than that which they were born with. For some, these reasons could mean life or death—for example, political dissidents voicing un...

In the Encryption and Feminism session & just had a flashback to the "real names" debate (framing anonymity as dangerous). Wild we still have to fight that security vs. privacy framing, but Mallory is right. #MozFest2025 www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

It’s Time for Technologists and Tech Policy Advocates to Get Radical in Fight Against Authoritarianism | TechPolicy.Press Dia Kayyali says in the face of the authoritarian threat, the fight for justice and rights for all is systemic, and requires creativity and coordination.

Cheney is dead, but the horrible architecture he wrought is in Trump's hands.

If you are a technologist or you work in tech policy, I challenge you to commit to building movement relationships and fighting the structures that have enabled men like them.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

You talk about how people fall for Fake Black people

But your article doesn’t interview a single real one

Rough afternoon/early evening. I'm not sure how many ICE abductions in our area. Too many. Sending love to everyone impacted by this violence. Grateful to everyone who patrolled and documented. They're not done, and neither are we.

This is the piece I wanted to read tonight. You should too.

I wasn't 14 or a hijabi when 9/11 happened, but it was a foundational (and scary) moment, one I've been thinking about it a lot (related article for TPP coming soon). Thank you Heba for writing this one.

Hey Democrats: Schumer wouldn't even endorse Mamdani or say who he voted for. Maybe, just maybe, stop letting him lead the Senate Dems?

Getting new details on this now:

As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

This person took this when they called the race

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature.

Smash your Ring doorbell to pieces first thing today if you haven’t already.

I've never been more inspired to get involved with Wikipedia. New winter project- becoming a part of the Wikipedia community and editing pages, because screw grokipedia.

I'm so sad to be missing the joyful return of #BreadAndNet to an in-person format, but I will be watching online. For everyone there in person- please enjoy this precious opportunity to be with each other unfiltered through screens or platforms, and welcome newcomers wholeheartedly.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

and may we present you with:

Just like most other things wrong in our world, the loneliness epidemic has its roots in capitalism. Thinking relationships should never have any discomfort and that always prioritizing yourself is "good boundaries" is capitalism.

Revolution has to be rooted in relationships, or we will lose.

Shout out to everyone else who like me who left the US with some privilege but still a lot of sadness. It sucks.

I never thought I'd miss anything in the US as if it were home, but I wasn't thinking about the people. I miss my people, and I worry about a lot of you too.

Sycophantic AI Decreases Prosocial Intentions and Promotes Dependence Both the general public and academic communities have raised concerns about sycophancy, the phenomenon of artificial intelligence (AI) excessively agreeing with or flattering users. Yet, beyond isolat...

Preliminary results show that the current framework of "AI" makes ppl less likely to help or seek help from other humans, or to seek to soothe conflict, and that people actively prefer that framework to any others, literally serving to make them more dependent on it.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

Also, she has the super creepy cult of personality vibe that authoritarians have.
