A black graphic with large abstract purple bubbles in the background. The white text says: WARNING: DO NOT RUN AI AGENTS ON ANY DEVICE USED TO ACCESS SIGNAL What is an AI Agent? Agentic AIs are programs that access all the data on your device to do autonomous tasks like manage email or make reservations. Examples include OpenClaw and Microsoft Recall. An AI agent is not a chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude. Why not? AI Agents save everything that appears on your screen, including Signal messages. Storing encrypted or disappearing chats (potentially forever) violates community expectations of privacy & puts all your contacts at greater risk of surveillance. Is Signal still safe? This is a human error problem, not Signal's error. Signal remains the best tool out there for private messaging. What the absolute F#@K?! How can I stop this? Help keep each other safe by sharing this message to your Signal groups and contacts. Learn more + yell at Big AI over at AISnitches.com - Your friends at Fight for the Future

Warning: Do not run AI Agents on any device used to access Signal or other content that you want to keep safe + unsurveilled.

We made this graphic to be posted in your Signal groups to explain what the threat is. Share it widely if you can.

A flawed fix for social media’s harms - The Boston Globe The state’s approach could create new risks for users while letting tech companies off the hook.

🧵 I want to crack down on Big Tech as much as anyone, prob more than most. But the draconian and unworkable kids' online safety bill that the MA House passed earlier this month is not the way to do it. From @evangreer.bsky.social & me in today's @bostonglobe.com : www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/22/o...

News article clip that reads : Sarah Philips, one of the group's organizers, said Flock Safety is not wanted in the city, and she said fears continue to rise for people's safety and privacy, particularly those in immigrant and marginalized communities. "We do not want Flock in our communities," Philips said. "We don't want Flock in Atlanta. We don't want Flock in Georgia. We don't want Flock in the United States, and it's frankly disgusting that this company is making money off of our movements and existence."

We led an action today & brought the fight against fascist surveillance straight to Flock’s headquarters in Atlanta -the community showed up to give Flock a powerful message: www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news...

$4,049 from the average taxpayer for weapons and war.

That's...
-32x the $124 paid for school lunches and other nutrition programs.
-213x the $19 paid for the U.S. Postal Service.
-119x the $34 paid toward public transit.
-253x the $16 spent on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

good vibes family 10/10

person messaging themself on signal with a grocery list that reads dill, sambla, sriracha, rice vinegar, both kinds, spicy ketchup, bread, milk, in separate text messages over the course of a couple of days

"people only use signal for sketchy shit!"

meanwhile me to myself on signal all day

(also this is not respectability politics i support doing all the sketchy shit too)

Idk i kinda feel like there are some pretty notable precedents for warehousing people deemed undesirable by the state

The spread of fascism has been met with protests, grassroots action, and lifesaving community-based mutual aid networks.

These groups are rely on a variety of tools to communicate, raise money, organize protests, and share information- the more privacy-preserving, the better!

Texas Democrats Demand Release of ‘Political Prisoner’ Leqaa Kordia, Compare ICE Facility to ‘Internment Camps’ State Rep. Salman Bhojani said the 33-year-old is living in inhumane conditions and has been running “a high fever for several days.”

NEW: Rep. Salman Bhojani said lawmakers were denied entry to Prairieland Detention Center, where Leqaa Kordia has been running “a high fever for several days” due to what he called inhumane conditions.

was ‘heated rivalry’ failed by its publisher? everyone's devouring the new TV series, so why can't people buy a copy of the book the show is based on?

NEW: It’s not just readers that suffer due to Harlequin’s mismanagement of the' Heated Rivalry' books. Reid misses out on royalties, & booksellers miss out on commissions—which is especially painful during the holiday season when many small businesses make the bulk of their money.

Democrats can’t meaningfully claim to oppose Donald Trump while simultaneously pushing bad internet bills like KOSA, EARN IT, Section 230 limitations, and online ID laws, that *empower* the Trump administration to further censor, surveil, and prosecute marginalized people.

Really great coverage from @wired.com about our week of action against online ID verification and how these bills are setting a dangerous precedent by making the internet more exploitative rather than safer.
