  1. CW: ICE, uspol, help wanted

    does anyone know of tech groups working against ICE? a friend of mine contacted me asking about resources as someone they know got taken (she's okay but traumatized).

    i'm finding it difficult to find orgs that can help beyond the big USA-wide ones, which often don't have boots on the ground. wondering if there's any projects working on this!

  8. No Azure For Apartheid protest at Microsoft campus lead to the violent arrests of 20 current and former workers:

    "Though we have every right to have a say in how our labor is being used, we saw that Microsoft would rather brutalize its own workers and community members than to stop participating in the murder of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians."

  13. #Watching The Internship (2013) reminds me how tectonically the narratives around corporate tech have changed in the last decade. I doubt you couldn sell an aspirational story about interning at Goggle now.

    We did that. All of us. Working *together*.

  14. I'm all for for getting more policy through Parliament to protect human rights/ liberties in the ways technology is deployed. Strategies for this can be divided into two broad categories;

    1) working with existing parties on tech policy

    2) growing a tech freedom party

    Having been involved in trying both strategies, multiple times, I've had much more success with the first one, for far less effort.

  15. "We can reverse the enshittification of the internet. We can halt the creeping enshittification of every digital device.

    We can build a better, enshittification-resistant digital nervous system, one that is fit to coordinate the mass movements we will need to fight fascism, end genocide, and save our planet and our species."

But should we just accept the new gadgets and services on offer, or is there a hidden cost to pay? This seven-part series profiles the Rebel Geeks challenging power structures and offering a different vision of our technological future."
