THANK YOU to the *thousands* of you who have made calls—WE NEED TO KEEP THEM COMING! Call 202-899-8938 to be connected to your Senators & urge them to vote “NO” on RISAA, which contains a “terrifying” provision (Ron Wyden) that will force U.S. businesses to act as NSA spies. 1/6

We've been working for weeks on an op-ed about tech corps profiting from the use of AI in the Gaza genocide. The editor is no longer able to run it bc of this tweet I posted 3 years ago after Israel attacked Al-Aqsa Mosque during the holiest night of Ramadan, injuring 300 people.

Many LGBTQ+ activists are *just now* waking up to the fact that 'material harmful to minors' laws will be used against them.

This is why you listen to the sex industry. We've known this — and been screaming it at the top of our lungs — for years.

It's no fun to be Cassandra.

I’m on Columbia’s campus. the cops made the school’s facility workers take down the encampment and take apart the food not yet eaten, after 120 students (and I hear 2 NLG observers) were arrested. all campus doors are locked, teachers are canceling classes due to fear of NYPD etc

As a Columbia University alum and current adjunct lecturer, it's horrifying to see the university admin send in a police force (with a known record of brutality) to arrest students peacefully demonstrating.

I'm Jewish.

From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free!

In our lifetime!

Call the US Justice Department’s comment

Not even 24 hrs after making history as the first company to mass fire workers for pro-Palestine protests, google announced that the “(ir)responsible AI org” they announced after firing me, is now reporting up the Israeli office.

Clearly backing this genocide seems priority.

Chuck Schumer, why are you endangering democracy by trying to jam this through?

Harder and harder for Google to posture as a 'defender of free expression' when they're firing employees for speaking up about the company's role facilitating a genocide medium.com/@notechforapar…

See you in Pittsburgh on May Day? Rest in power, Anne.

Think how this scrape-and-surveil example plays out for a Discord channel devoted to providing info on reproductive health services & the AG of Texas or Florida wants to buy it
Incredibly problematic for the White House to be undermining protections against abortion surveillance

Net neutrality means that ISPs don’t get to speed up or slow down your web traffic based on where you’re visiting. The FCC understood this in 2015, yet left the door open for the creation of fast lanes in their new rules. Tell them to fix this mistake. eff.org/deeplinks/2024…
