Great piece from @chaykak.bsky.social on America’s technofascism — includes some of my work on 1990s Silicon Valley, as well as other important precursors

Inspired action from @sallylhudson.bsky.social : register complaints of PII data breach to amplify impact and outrage. Here’s a link to submit one to CAs AG: oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...

Banks and other businesses with sensitive personnel info inform customers when their data may have been compromised.

Now that non-government operatives have stolen federal student loan data, it stands to reason that higher education institutions inform students and their families.

Good idea.
Hear me out —

If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.

Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.
Musk staff have access to student aid data now.
