We seal envelopes not because the letter contains a conspiracy, but because the contents belong exclusively to the sender and the receiver.
The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.
@maolesen@julia_doubleday@michael_hoerger It's already getting so bad. I've been to a ridiculous number of funerals since 2022. If we don't turn things around, every year that follows will make the prior years look like a cakewalk.
@DirtUndrMyNails@julia_doubleday Everyone knows the only way out of a spiral is to double, triple, nay, quadruple down on the actions that got the spiral going in the first place.
BP execs were deeply involved in shaping a highly influential climate science paper.
The authors not only discussed ideas with the oil company but, in a departure from academic norms, passed drafts back and forth and welcomed extensive feedback.

The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. https://t.co/XLki7OBuID
Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.
Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.
That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.
The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.
i feel like not enough ppl are worried abt the social media ban thats been happening in countries lately like thats straight up just censorship laws being put in place
In 2024, xAI built a data center w/o a permit just a few miles from where I live. Already, air pollution is causing health issues for our neighbors.
So, the community sued.
Now, Trump's DOJ has intervened to protect trillionaire Elon Musk's toxic gas turbines & data center.
The National Security (State Threats) Bill is an alarming expansion of state power, and an escalation of the government's chilling assault on the right to protest.
still no updates on when my medicaid will be coming back :( i have medications i need to refill soon, weekly iv fluids, and other appointments i need to be able to attend. please share/help if you’re able!! thank you so much
I’m not scanning my drivers license, I’m not taking a picture, I’m not uploading any id’s with my face on it, I’m not giving you my thumbprint. At some point, we’ve got to fight back against the these tech bro’s and billionaires running things. Enough!
I’ve noticed an uptick in companies requesting and harvesting biometric data. Asking for facial ID, drivers licenses, etc. I refuse! Banking apps are doing it. T-Mobile just prompted me to do it to pay my bill. I don’t use it to unlock my phone either. Fuck you too, Apple!
I'm not sure if this is just my perception of things, so keep that in mind, but I do feel like many people in the US talk about and think about ICE alone instead of connecting to a global struggle against borders as a colonial form of control.
Ahhh, the old “they already have your data” argument. Whatever they have, they’ve acquired in a roundabout way.
What we’re talking about with digital ID is them officially asking for our CONSENT to build a certified database.
I do not consent.
Staggering that the NYT reports Trump/Miller are plotting to suspend habeas corpus (i.e. end the constitution) & by the end of the day it's treated as a non-story, not anywhere near top of major news' outlets websites.
