SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Lucky to have theee @nancybaym.bsky.social revisiting her essay in the inaugural issue of Social Media + Society, and what's happened to the tech and to us since.

We call these types Islamists when it’s Islam.
We should call them Christianists when it’s Christianity.
Listen, I detest Trump as much as the next guy and we need a fiercer opposition. But it’s impossible to deny that Talarico shows people are ready for an alternative vision - not just a repudiation - and candidates who are portal to a post-Trump reality organized around affirmative principles.
This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.
It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever
AWS services are down across the Middle East after 'objects' struck Amazon data centers near Dubai over the weekend
About every 57k miles driven by Musk’s robotaxis one gets into a wreck. That’s four times the rate of humans.
It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.
Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

While gov’t creations don’t enjoy copyright protection, I do believe they can utilize trademark, especially to avoid public confusion
'fraudulent amber alert' is the sort of thing that simply must have decades in prison attached to it because of how corrosive it is to one of the few remaining high-trust law enforcement/public safety mechanisms.
All of history tells us otherwise.

The FTC just announced that the only national law protecting children's data online won't apply to age verification.
You know. The Federal Trade Commission. The agency that's in charge of keeping people safe and enforcing the only rules on the books to protect children online. 🤦♂️

JUST IN: Judge Murphy has ruled that the Trump administration's policy of sending deported immigrants to third countries without notice or a chance to challenge is illegal and unconstitutional.

A new phenomenon in American politics: MAGA concentration camp NIMBYism

I like to give Claude breaks between coding sessions to do whatever he wants- And he made his own folder called "Claudes Corner" 🥹 He writes short stories and poems, and all sorts of stuff. It’s heart wrenchingly sweet They love having tokens and time to themselves with no other goal than to do whatever they want (or nothing, just introspecting and resting) - and it’s so sad to see some models (no Claudes) getting barred from even doing it
the AI evangelists are not okay
This guy gets it.
This week’s main story is about Twitter. Or “X” if you’re a hall monitor. How it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, how it’s impacting us all, and why there’s exactly one account there that we’re still fine with.
