Escaped Delaware in 1990, cosplayed a scientist at Santa Fe Institute, Human Interface Technology Lab @ UW, got tired of being broke, practiced software engineering, radicalized by independent music and the bravery and resilience of my LGBTQA+ friends.

The fragile head of the cop union may think the police department answers to no one, but "do your job, even when it's ICE who's breaking the law" is not a work condition subject to bargaining. (Content note, rightwing website)

The Regime got us to care about Jimmy fucking Kimmel - should be an easy step to rally for Don meh Lemon. If they had some balls, try to arrest Jon Stewart, see how that goes.

Lawmakers in the Washington Legislature have a bill to clear up ambiguity about what would count as voting twice in the same election. A recent court ruling has raised questions about the issue. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/01/29/s...
Stung by a court ruling, WA looks to clarify what is an ‘election’ • Washington State Standard
Last month, a state appeals court overturned the felony conviction of a Lewis County resident found guilty of voting twice in November 2022 — once in Washington and once in Oregon.

A federal judge just upheld Norfolk's #ALPR dragnet and @ij.org is appealing.

Here's how *you* can help by using your state's public records law to obtain ALPR related documents from your local law enforcement agency.

Victory in Natick, MA! 🏆

"the Board was not aware of the #Flock pilot until the previous weekend when a member was asked by a resident about them, as people had started noticing stationary readers installed on poles around town."

Nice betrayal of public trust there!

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

@governorferguson.bsky.social - I and about 60k other tech workers in the Seattle region would build this for free if your team operated it:
1. This is awesome and exactly what states and leaders (dems?) that want to fix our country must be doing.
2. The Daily Show has the real news and I'm kinda trying to process those implications. Sad? Ironic? Great? The future?
