If you live in San Francisco, today is a good day to familiarize yourself with the San Francisco Rapid Response Network, which has a 24-hour hotline for reporting ICE raids, actually verifies those raid reports, and does attorney activation: sfilen.org/resources/sf...

There is a lot of disagreement about what qualifies as a "burner phone," but learning to put together a device that protects your most sensitive data from surveillance and seizure by govts and law enforcement is good, actually.

I’m supposed to fly to Toronto tomorrow on @aircanada.bsky.social but that seems more and more unlikely - despite app still saying flight is on time, but not allowing me to check in.

It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago.
Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.)
Those are months and months of 20+ point leads for Tories.

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

Part of why elections in the US are so secure is because they’re run by 10,000 local jurisdictions like mine.
Trying to rig an election is like trying to rob every bank in America at the same time
To rig American elections, you need to federalize them. The President’s new EO is doing just that.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Politics desperately needs an upper age gate (in the same way it has a lower age gate, and for largely the same reason).
I agree with a lot of what @profgalloway.com says and supports, but this one is particularly high on the list, especially today.
