Mamdani has done a lot to critique surveillance and has a better sense than most politicians of the harms it can do to specific communities and activists—but I do worry he will be asked to compromise the high tech focus of the NYPD in exchange for more sweeping police reforms.
This piece includes a lot of good voices that critique surveillance—but the piece itself also does a lot to normalize and justify the blanket surveillance NYC is under without going into the specifics of the harms it’s capable of.

On my way to the courthouse in our case against Governor Polis for his efforts to share Coloradans' information with ICE. Sometimes politics is simple: do the right thing.

3) Suddenly Bennet claims he “can’t do anything” on healthcare as Governor.

Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?
Alice could not eat food for years.
And yet at Christmas she would bake cookies and mail them to me—such was her desire to provide care for the people she loved.

Real life Shawshank Redemption, still sucks that he was denied 28 years of freedom.
a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
