As a @propublica.org alum, I urge its leadership to talk seriously with staffers about guardrails around the use of AI in the newsroom. This seems like a solvable issue.
Solidarity with my former colleagues @propublicaguild.org
A graphic reads “92% of participating ProPublica Guild members voted YES to authorize our bargaining committee to call for a strike.” The “92%” is very large. A ProPublica Guild logo is under the text.

there’s always a tweet…
“It is a reminder that even right now, even as the fight rages on, there is time for joy, there is time for art, there is time to celebrate difference and self, and to insist that you too can be free.
Because they want you to forget that.”
this wasn’t me. maybe.
A screenshot of People Over Papers’ ICE reporting map. The map resets at 4 am ET every day. In Minnesota, over 100 reports have been filed today, with the overwhelming majority in and around the Twin Cities. Stay safe. Fuck ICE.
Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.
In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.
among the other godforsaken things i can’t believe about this timeline: Scabby has appeared outside ProPublica — management won’t commit to fair and standard disciplinary practices or implementing guardrails on newsroom AI use, after two years of negotiations.
ICYMI: Flock Safety is letting cops search our data to deport school kids. Two weeks ago, @lucyparsonslabs.com revealed that in response to this reporting, Flock made the unilateral decision to suspend audit trails to prevent oversight.
Sadly, this is why Democratic leaders needed to act when the iron was hot — to lead, get out on the streets, and mobilize public opinion.
It may now be that their moment has passed and the public has moved on. If so, what a shame; what a lost opportunity.

There is no case but the moral case. The public health data have precisely the moral valence that we give them and, crucially, that we are willing and prepared to act upon. The process of political development in public health is the process of developing just such a capacity for action - action that will be, by definition, not strictly related to public health in the majority of cases. The intellectual action consists of the movement from "free them all for public health" to, simply, "free them all." Public health will follow.

404 Media just had an ad during the #SuperBowl! We Googled "smallest TV markets in the United States" and bought an ad for $2,550 that only ran in Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. That still counts

Did that Alexa ad just list all the ways it’s going to murder us but then say it would order a snack first?

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state.
Tell them it will find your dog.
So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh
