This is enormously fucked up.
Per NBC4 NY reporter Sarah Wallace on the bird site: A mom was kicked out of Christmas Rockettes show at MSG-owned Radio City after being tagged by *facial recognition* technology, which identified her as someone who works a law firm involved in a suit against a restaurant now owned by MSG.
"I don’t practice in New York. I’m not an attorney that works on any cases against MSG," she said.

Today is my 1 month anniversary of signing up for Mastodon. A few observations—after spending 13+ years on Twitter:
•The Mastodon community is kinder & more focused on lifting one another up than tearing down.
•Mastodon is learning from Twitter's mistakes by including accessibility options, incorporating an edit button, & not centralizing everything
•Engagement is not dependent on clickbait or outrage, but genuine positive content.
None of the above are absolutes, but overall, glad I'm here.
As a human rights lawyer I've worked on religious discrimination issues for decades—including how nations normalize violence against minorities via silence against their dehumanization.
GOP silence at Trump hosting a literal Nazi is devastating for American Jews & US democracy.
WOW. After yesterday's appeal to stand up for DACA recipients, more than 600 people signed this petition. I'm re-upping the appeal to get us past the 1000 signature mark.
DACA recipients need permanent protected status. Dems can deliver. Let's hold them accountable. Thank you for using your voice to speak up.

Under Twitter's new mgmt I've experienced a rapid increase in racist, Islamophobic, & anti-immigrant tweets. The new platforms I've found welcoming (so far) are Mastodon & Post.
I'm still here—but hope y'all follow me there:

This Twitter fiasco is a reminder of who is *actually* critical to the survival of our economy & society.
Twitter worked before the billionaire got here. Now that workers are gone, Twitter is collapsing. Workers made Twitter work—a billionaire broke it.
Workers > Billionaires
