🎙WED on @KQEDNews @Meta the social media network formerly known as #Facebook faces a #boycott ( #theFBlogout ) from a coalition of tech accountability groups led by @KairosFellows … and group administrators … upset with the platform’s approach to content moderation.

[MediaJustice @mediajustice]

Facebook's business model relies on the assumption that we need it to organize our people to stay connected to community. Zuckerberg's wealth depends on us thinking we need him. In fact, they need us, & that's why we're on strike. ✌🏿✌🏾✌🏽 #WeOut #TheFBLogout #FireZuck

[UltraViolet @UltraViolet]

Facebook told Congress it takes down "94% of the hate speech it finds" But in reality, internal documents and employee reports say FB takes down only 5% of hate speech.

Join us Nov. 10-13 in #theFBlogout https://t.co/t8QYdYjEhs

[Reproductive Freedom for All @reproforall]

Facebook enables anti-choice activists to spread harmful disinformation about abortion care, so we're fighting back. We’re logging out of Facebook from November 10-13 to show that we’re serious about fighting disinformation on its platforms. https://t.co/0exkzd8tTS #TheFBLogout

[Kairos @KairosFellows]

Facebook, which has been responsible for the spread of disinfo & human rights abuses, is now also in the business of attempting to discredit reporters and attack the press. This is a dangerous pathway that continues to put our society & democracy at risk. https://t.co/Hm4XJ4Hx58

[USA TODAY @USATODAY]

Social justice and civil rights groups are calling for a boycott to protest what they say is Facebook's failure to address the destructive role it plays in American life. https://t.co/mZX0b5Dt2B

In Golden Gate park, the directors of two museums, backed by the wealthiest donors in the Bay Area, are fighting to convert JFK promenade, enjoyed by thousands of kids, into car parking.

Meanwhile the garage directly beneath the museums is so empty teens play handball there 🙄

peak capital brain to be able to imagine interstellar colonies for more and greater resource extraction but to be unable to imagine a more sustainable future on the planet we actually live on.

Something I've been thinking about:

Eligibility for a program is, itself, wholly separate from an individual's capacity (or lack) to *prove* their eligibility.

Sort of a small difference in mindset, but it flips a denied application from a client issue to an agency issue.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

It's a failure of journalism if stories on the critical race theory "controversy" do not include the factual and contextual reporting that this is a well-planned Republican misinformation strategy and that nearly nothing being labeled critical race theory actually is CRT.

"For decades the poor had the possibility of reinvention (before tenant screening via credit bureaus)... (Now) scholars puzzle over why people don’t simply move to where the jobs are."

Yep.

The job to housing imbalance is one of the main reasons East Bay residents are against building more housing.

SF/San Mateo/Santa Clara get away with not building & the East Bay feels as if those counties are dumping their housing on us, and they aren't wrong.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

When we write the history of this disastrous era, where democracy hangs by a thread and lies, racism, nativism and worse are the hallmark of a party that is a cult, the stubborn denial and both-sidesism of much of mainstream media will not fare well.

[rabia O'chaudry @rabiasquared]

Yesterday was #Eid, the Muslim holiday marking the end of a month of fasting in Ramadan.

I need all my not-Muslim friends to listen up please.

Muslims have only 2 religious holidays a year, Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha. I know our Eid celebrations may not be on your radar BUT

Jeff Bezos is paying about twice as much to build this boat as he paid for The Washington Post

I similarly have been thinking a lot about how modern-day police are effectively the kind of invasive standing army that shaped the fears and concerns of members of the founding generation.
