Many interests, little time. Unschooling parent. Long-term interest in bicycles; built a bamboo diamond frame bike years ago, learning TIG welding now to mess around more again. I would like to talk with more thoughtful and empathetic people with whom I don't agree. Periodically I am very sad. Wrassle computers for money.

Ok y’all, #Trump is rolling his #paramilitary out to travel infrastructure, putting #ICE on the ground of some airports, with threats to roll it out to all. But, Dear Leader told his thugs to take off their masks at the #airport. You know what this means? I want every single person who has to use an airport to take pictures and add them to the ICE agent database.

Why should you do that? Because hack unto them as they hack unto us. https://sahanjournal.com/immigration/ice-surveillance-technology-facial-recognition-phones-minnesota/

Secondly: If you are not American, DO NOT TRAVEL HERE. It is not safe for you. It isn’t safe for us, but it’s really not safe for you. Boycott us like we are contagious.

ICE isn’t just tracking your phone. The surveillance technology goes further than that.

Federal immigration agencies are using a vast surveillance network in Minnesota – from facial recognition technology to ‘stingrays’ that collect data by impersonating cell phone towers.

As an Oregonian, a biologist, and someone with a deep and unwavering love for the old growth forests of the PNW, I implore you to submit a personalized public comment opposing this short-sighted rule change at the BLM. Loss of what remains of Oregon's old growth forests would be an irreversible tragedy. #Conservation #Forests #Oregon #Biodiversity

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests

One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

@gordon hey, it's been awhile! Hope you are doing well :)
@coolandnormal those Dorothea Lange photos of the hop pickers around Grants Pass Oregon are a trip. I live about 50 miles from there now, and grew up ~25 miles from there.

From the "every accusation is a confession" department, Tom Homan, quoted in the article, saying "we're going to create a database where those people [protesting ICE] that are arrested for interference, impeding, and assault, we're going to make them famous... We're going to let their employers, and their neighborhoods, and their schools know who these people are."

*WE* are not the ones worried about our employers, neighbors, schools knowing what we're doing!

Enough with the smart devices, I'd like to see more wise devices. Designed for longevity, mindful use, and minimal harm.

So, anyone who remembers the mass protests of the late 1970s and 1980s against, for example, Diablo Canyon and Seabrook nuke plants, missile launches at Vandenberg AFB, nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site and so on, might want to share your stories right about now.

These proposed concentration camps provide perfect opportunities for mass protests, occupations and blockades. Plus, their owners and the contractors and the funders all have offices that can be locations for protests.

Systemic white supremacy is when an utterly incompetent 23-year-old white boy can fabricate an entire story about Somalis and get personal praise from the President—but two seasoned award winning Black journalists who have decades of unassailable reporting behind them get arrested for reporting on an actual protest with facts and receipts.

Rapid response networks have evolved swiftly over the past several months. Besieged by 3000 federal mercenaries, volunteers in the Twin Cities have continuously updated their rapid response model, developing a dynamic and resilient system.

This report explores how you can learn from their model to build your own.
