    In 2023, I was a programmer with federal clearance, working for the US Department of Veterans Affairs, through #AccentureFederalServices , through a contractor, when I called out corruption, and became a government #whistleblower

    I have been homeless since 2023, and hounded by the law, a dozen rides in the back of cop cars, usually handcuffed. Kicked out of hospitals, banks, libraries, stores, and buses. 5 arrests ( 4 under #Biden, 1 under #Trump ), police brutality, 6 nights in jail. I have slept outdoors in winters without warm clothes, in muddy orchards, in rain, on cold concrete city pavements, in sweltering heat. Denied public defense in courts, though I told judges I was homeless and food insecure. I fought in court, representing myself, while homeless. All charges dropped, since it was mere whistleblower intimidation, and I had committed no crimes.

    Broken bone, body in constant pain. Assaulted in the streets. I have eaten out of garbage cans, and several times, gone hungry for 2-3 days at a time.

    Moved to Tokyo to avoid persecution, though it followed me here, and I am homeless here as well, probably because the Japanese government is afraid of granting me political asylum.

    Here, read my account:

    The linked PDF has an appendix with the “receipts”, documents that corroborate my account.

    All because I took a stand for the people, asked tough questions, spoke truth to power. Such as, why is the government using public money to pay for proprietary software, when #FOSS is available. That money could be used to help US Veterans, instead of lining the pockets of fatcat executives and bureaucrats.

    Here are some of the questions I raised:

    I was a democrat voter.
    Now I have nobody left to vote for. I am an #Anarchist.

    Yes, this absolutely. No notes. ❤️

    "No social model should assume that all conflicts can be resolved through dialogue; sometimes the best and most ethical outcome is to support the person who has been harmed, to create distance, to limit the abuser's access, and to change the structures that made the harm possible.

  3. #Bundeszentrale gegen #Kinderfiguren: #Benjamin, du lieber #Anarchist | #taz.de

    Die #Bundeszentrale_für_politische_Bildung soll #Linksextremismus mehr in den Fokus nehmen. Dabei sind ihr schon #Benjamin_Blümchen und #Bibi_Blocksberg zu #links.

    Laut einem Text der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung ( #bpb ) aber verdienen diese vielgeliebten #Kindergeschichten „keineswegs das Prädikat ‚wertvoll‘“.

  4. I've been working on updating a decision making process in a #coop from #voting to #consensus inspired by #ietf #decisionMaking process when a colleague made me realize that consensus process is not compatible with many #neurodivergent cognitive styles. It disproportionately favors #Neurotypicals and extraverted ppl while putting more introverted and less verbal type people at a disadvantage. Also it's yet another "social capital" dominated decision making process. Less social capital - less likely you'll actually speak up against the crowd.

    The "no one left behind" goal is not fulfilled by the "no loud opposition" decision process. What process does that? We're staying with the simplistic voting for now but adding a prolonged debate. Any ideas? How other #cooperatives do that? Especially #anarchist ones?
