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

I had a paranoid android moment in 2024! In high school it was the angsty lyrics for me, but this time was like wait it's kind of musical genius?
Impressive for a short trip!
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?
