I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

I'm deadly serious with this. A huge reason we're in the mess we're in is because the media treats evidenced policy like housing the homeless and decriminalising drugs as absurd, outrageous nonsense, and "you can't even say blackboard any more because of woke" as serious and meaningful.

Sweeping guilty verdicts in the federal Prairieland antifa cases. These cases were an effort by the Trump admin to prosecute anti-fascists as terrorists and further, prosecute dissent. This Texas trial was a test of his power. He won. This laid out the case and stakes: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...
Looks we’re in the beginnings of yet another Red Scare, and this Texas jury just handed the government the keys to prosecute us
Plan accordingly, and don’t let this deter you from doing good antifascist work. Solidarity with the Prairieland defendants
The Prairieland case is a major test of the Trump administration’s push to label “antifa” protesters as terrorists.
The leader of the violent neo-Nazi group whose members were the "victims" in this San Diego case was a donor to and supporter of the DA, Summer Stephan, who owes her career to the (literal) neo-Nazi former chairman of the San Diego GOP, Tony Krvaric (whose sons were both Patriot Front recruits).
Absolutely awful result in the "antifa terrorism" trial against the Prairieland noise demonstrators. Innocent people convicted under conspiracy statutes because they had zines at home, or wore black, or were in a Signal chat — even those who did not actually participate in the demonstration.
America. Where attending a noise demonstration against the American Gestapo is terrorism.
Where standing against fascism is terrorism.
A growing transnational network known as “764” is exploiting children online—targeting them through social media, gaming platforms, and chat apps, coercing victims into abuse and self-harm while spreading extremist imagery and violence to gain status within underground networks.

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am
Extremely grim news from Texas.
Absurdly, a jury has decided to convict all of the defendants on most of the charges, including "Corruptly Concealing a Document" for moving a box of zines.
The jury's verdict:

Background on the case:

The verdict in the first Prairieland trial is due any day now. The prosecution aims to lay the groundwork to criminalize all forms of confrontational protest.
