Among their plans, did the Mayor consider not expanding the burgeoning #police #surveillance technologies in #Seattle? Was it not just a few weeks ago some council members assured the public we were safer with more cameras pointed at us?

And that's why I left #tiktok back in January
Instead of worrying that TikTok could carry Chinese government propaganda — which the Supreme Court declined to even consider — "people can now be concerned that TikTok could be a conduit for US government propaganda," EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social and @evacide.bsky.social said.
TikTok’s Future: U.S. Owners To Control Algorithm And Data In Proposed Deal
TikTok’s U.S. operations could soon be run by Oracle, Silver Lake Partners and the Murdochs under a proposed $100 billion deal.

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism.
Project 2025's parent org is pushing it.
It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption.

While his trolling of Trump is funny, Gavin Newsom's alignment with right-wing anti #trans stances are not. His posturing - coupled with the fallout between Bannon-type MAGA and Musk-type MAGA - is clearly to scoop up centrist wealthy tech bros and not run on leftist politics. Pick again #dems

The Epstein files topic must not fall into partisanship politics. That’s a distraction.
If President Trump is on the list, hold him accountable.
If there are Democrats on the list, hold them accountable.
Then, we must find out why it’s taken so long to get justice.

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status."
SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status"
Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.

This is genocide fuel. The "most violent domestic terror threat" cannot be dealt with civilly; they can only be annihilated. That's exactly what these fascists want - a justification for violent action against trans people.
