I love this energy against ICE surveillance.

I am so confused why organizers are so focused on Palantir who do not give two shits about a protest outside their office because their entire business model is selling tech to authoritarian governments.

Just wish ppl would talk to surveillance experts
Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US.

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

This language is new: "Body Cameras for Accountability, Not Tracking"

Calls for safeguards against use of body cams for surveillance.

Human rights experts generally don't think these safeguards will work, but this is a sign grassroots pressure opposing ICE surveillance is having an impact.

Don’t believe the claims about ‘kids safety’ behind the push for Online ID checks. They are and always have been about surveillance and censorship.

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

this sucks
Most of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

Posting misinformation about Section 230 on a platform that wouldn’t exist without Section 230 is a choice but it’s not one that I would make
Did you know Section 230 allows social media companies to avoid liability for what's posted on their platforms? Even when harmful content spreads and real people are hurt.

Very cool that @klobuchar.senate.gov is teaming up with anti-LGBTQ hate group NCOSE (formerly Morality in Media) in her crusade to gut Section 230 and let Trump censor the internet just so she can go on tv and say “look, we’ve gotta protect the kids”

Chuck Schumer wants to fund more ICE controlled body worn cameras that will inevitably be hooked into that Palantir facial recognition system, so maybe the two of you should have a little chat?
AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
