ICE has spent hundreds of millions on surveillance. Some technologists are building tools to find it, map it, and push back. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/how-hackers-are-fighting-back-against-ice
おはようやで！
You don't need superspy-level OPSEC in order to protest fascism. But protest does involve risk. My goal when I teach people about digital privacy/security is to make sure that people understand what risks they're taking so they can make appropriate mitigations while still accomplishing their goals.
I left a pot with the dregs of some stew out where a very large dog could reach it (which is to say, anywhere). I heard a loud clatter and discovered the plushie Mr. Sloth at the scene of the crime, covered in stew.
Mr. Sloth claims he's been framed...

🕊️ “I’m Not Mad At You” by Harry Welty
This snow sculpture by Harry Welty in Duluth is a memorial for Renee Nicole Good, who was tragically killed in Minneapolis earlier this month. The sign on the snow-car features her own words: “I’m not mad at you.”

"We're going to have to do it again because we're exercising a muscle, and that muscle is to strike."
Calls are growing to expand the general strike in Minneapolis.
Here's Doug, a military veteran and witness to yesterday's murder, speaking at a protest this afternoon.

When authorities used ICE's facial recognition app on a detained woman, it returned two different and incorrect names, raising serious questions about the accuracy of the app. Officials have said the app is better than a birth certificate.

@mcc the basement of the home hardware store a few steps away.
@mcc reading that as "now that (all of) creation has shut down"
Yeah, it's bad outside
@mcc I'd probably start with the electronics cave beneath the Home Hardware right near Canada Computers, though I'd bring a meter to test everything before purchasing a bunch.

I was looking though a feed on a random Friendica instance and recognized an icon that I designed and instantly realized that Friendica is now using my https://iconography.fediverse.info project as an icon source for many pieces of software that federate to them!

Stumbled upon this golden joke that says volumes:
WinRAR is more profitable than OpenAI.
I despise how security updates are
bundled with feature updates.
Now we have to choose between risking getting malware from random criminal gangs when refusing to update, or getting embedded malware from the tech company itself that comes with their update.
And honestly at this point, I'm not sure which is worse.
@Em0nM4stodonEm 
I remember when you had to protect your OS from malware instead of your OS actually being the malware you have to protect yourself from.
What does AI do to freedom of speech?
I just realised, that YouTube has an AI system which removes comments on my channel, that it deems "potentially inappropriate".
Some clearly illegal comments prove that moderation is necessary — I even found a couple of death threats. But there is A TON of false positives.
Attached are four examples of comments which the AI removed. There are hundreds of these, and it really bothers me, that someone's legal free speech is suppressed by our AI overlords.
If you are going to a protest where shit may get real, here’s (part) of my med kit I carry to these:
1. Nitrile gloves
2. NAR CAT tourniquets
3. Roller gauze and/or wound packing
4. Chest seals
5. Blister treatments (molefoam, cloth tape)
6. Clean water in a bike squeeze bottle (for eye irrigation)
7. Trauma shears
8. Surgical masks
9. Safety glasses
10. Snacks
11. Tampons and pads
12. P-100 respirator with vapor cartridges
13. Shop towels
I also carry a helmet.
@mcnadoMcNadoMD Not just protesters. Completely warranted to be carrying a bunch of this if you are just kind of going to be out where you might encounter ICE, which is pretty much anywhere in the twin cities at this point.
Absurd, literal warzone advice, but is what it is.
