We've heard people like Starter Packs, so we just begun putting one together for open source organizations. It could be an OSPO like us, a Foundation that supports projects and the ecosystem or accounts for OSS events.
Take a look and tell us who else should be there.

It is not a stretch at this point to say that, if you are using a Ring doorbell, you are an ICE collaborator.
Amazon readily provides data to LEOs and ICE.

I have a friend looking to apply to a role at x.company (the Alphabet/Google subsidiary not the Musk company). Do I know anyone working there that could help them out by referring them?
I'll share their details privately and ultimately leave the choice to refer up to you.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...
