Sigh. Here we go again. It's really important that people are smart about this story re: Trump admin using Signal to discuss war plans.

The center-left media wants to make the story about Trump admin fucking up, which they did. But in the process they're falsely implying that Signal is "insecure."🧵

Who would help organize an ICE watch in central MA? I don't know much about local immigrant rights organizing. NC has been bad ass at it for a long time, though!

If the Depp-Heard fiasco didn't, the Blake Lively smear campaign should drive home an important media literacy lesson that I'm afraid many are missing: when it seems like everybody is suddenly talking about something, consider the possibility that the viral moment was engineered.

Balcony also full of cops

At city hall before the council meeting where the DOJ report on police misconduct is on the agenda. The hall is fullll of police and I assume some of their family members. Lots of blue line shirts. One that says defend the police, defund the democrats I think

Tommy Cappel, who co-founded the group Beats Antique, says the Archive is “hugely valued in the music community” for its preservation of everything from rare recordings to live sets. “This is important work that deserves to continue for generations to come, and we don’t want to see everything they’ve already done for musicians and our legacy erased,” he added. “Major labels could see all musicians, past and present, as partners — instead of being the bad guy in this dynamic. They should drop their suit. Archives keep us alive.”

Heh. Just joined threads in order to see a single post I was curious about and look at that they're interested in the fediverse now

I guess my tone is kind of lecturey here. But like I can't shake the feeling I got seeing leftists asking for restrictions on speech

55% is bad at any time, but I hope the current fear of a fascist government means this percentage is lower now.
I maintain that if you give any administration power to restrict speech and information, it can be turned on anyone. A Trump admin would love this, wouldn't they.

A clock is good, but shortening public comment sounds punitive and paternalistic. And likely to make the community angrier?

Lol that's great
