It's February 14th, and I wanted to say I love you, so I make sure we communicate through end-to-end encryption.

I love you, so I think about what and who may be watching and listening when we chat.

I love you, so I delete or expire data-sensitive messages between us.

Amazon Ring is a weapon that has always been aimed at us. Every Ring camera, every Alexa, is a cop.

Abolish means abolish.

I was recommending against Ring
long before its relationship with Flock.

Amazon ending its relationship with Flock does not change my recommendation against it.

Do not use Ring, ever again. Try to disentangle from all Amazon products and services entirely.

On this heart day, here’s hint at a gift we’ve been working on for us.
Because I love you. I love us. Even more so now, than ever.

Something good, coming soon.
Asian. Queer. Culture. Everywhere.

Once you start de-Googling your life, it becomes easier to de-center Big Tech altogether.

Because we have such robust communities, there are better alternatives to EVERY Big Tech product.

As always, meet me over at

ALL Big Tech companies are involved in surveillance and militarism.

It is simply that Amazon and Palantir do not give AF about showing it.

To take down Empire, we must take down Big Tech.

They have committed generational terror.

The same happened for Los Angeles and will for every single city and neighborhood.

Fewer ICE agents does not mean ICE is gone. We keep going until we abolish ICE completely. Forever.

This regime declaring that it is ending immigration crackdowns in Minnesota, is an utter lie.

They cannot un-murder people, they cannot piece together the families they have disappeared and destroyed, and they cannot delete the trauma they have left in our communities.

The thing that will protect you and get you free is not whether you are a citizen or not a criminal, but whether you are part of something much bigger called us.

Also, end the U.S. blockade against Cuba. Empire is trying to distract you from its own authoritarianism by attacking countries that have the practice and principles to help people understand what fighting authoritarianism can look like.

You will come across this on an increasing number of platforms.
Do not scan your face and ID if at all possible as this is data, biometric, and identity farming.

Face scanning is coming to Discord, as this has been the trend for control of communications and media platforms under the guise of “age verification.”

Assume someone somewhere is running a search at anytime. Assume facial recognition is always on everywhere there is a Ring camera.

Stop using Amazon.

We cannot expect justice from a system that kills justice for a living. This is the police, prisons, CBP. This is Empire. We will never find justice there.

Liberation will only come through abolition.

The Epstein Files are a handbook of capitalist colonialism, championed and faithfully recorded by every one of its authors and every one of its followers.

Remember that Epstein is not the sole center, he is merely one point in a vast web that spans across every aspect of the United States, internally, and internationally.

Reminder to look up behind and around before unlocking your phone and while viewing anything on it.

We are being surveilled everywhere.
Don’t make it easier for them.

What it reiterates, is how these principles are enshrined every single sector of Empire, from finance, tech, real estate, entertainment, sports, and government.

There is no reforming Empire.
That is the reminder.

The United States Empire is built on every act in the Epstein Files, from the anti-Blackness, enslavement, eugenics, rape, trafficking, everything.

There is actually nothing new, as mortifying as it is. It is a continuation of a very well worn playbook.

They are abducting and arresting journalists, witnesses, and truth tellers.

So we must ALL become journalists, witnesses, and truth tellers.

Sharing one of many resources the good people of Minnesota are putting out to directly support people, orgs, and efforts through mutual aid.

I am striking Friday, January 30, in solidarity with the students, orgs, unions, and businesses in Minneapolis who have made a call to action for a nationwide shutdown.

No shopping, no work, no school.

I will still be doing liberatory fighting.
