"The MA House just passed the Massachusetts Consumer Data Privacy Act, which if signed by the Governor would be one of the strongest data privacy bills in the United States. The House-passed version of the bill contains a complete ban on the sale of precise cell phone location data, and despite fierce industry lobbying, a private right of action allowing people to sue Big Tech companies for data abuses."

"On the 30th anniversary of the protests in 2019, the well-known Chinese artist Ai Weiwei wrote that 'autocratic and totalitarian regimes fear facts because they have built their power on unjust foundations' and he also wrote that memory is important: 'without it there is no such thing as a civilised society or nation' because 'our past is all we have.'"

I'm a professional computer geek in the Bay Area. I've been a sysadmin, designed and built networks, been a penetration tester, done security research, and incident response. I'm flexible enough to work as in aerospace engineering as well as computational pharmacology.
I'm still #unemployed.
I'm searching for a job, on-site or remote. If you're hiring, please DM me, or at least send me a link or two? Please?
It's Going Down"So, how can activists and organizers interrupt these fascist schemes? Today we’ll be hearing from John Washington, author of the forthcoming book How to Close a Camp: Dispatches from the Fight Against Immigrant Detention. In addition to engaging with insights featured in book, I’ll also be sharing some of what I’ve learned from our friends at Detention Watch Network about how to fight warehouse conversions. We’ll also talk about why language matters, what communities have done to slow or stop detention expansion, and why the fight against camps has to be tied to the fight for housing, health care, mutual aid, and communities that can actually keep each other alive."
