the t4t/t4c discourse just reminds me that some of you fundamentally do not see yourselves as women and consider us all this seperate category of thing
i promise the difference really isn't that big
Thank you all so so so much! I managed to tie for 3rd most rank 1 ballots in the branch, and it’s by no means disappointing to be behind the amazing @EmilyAssembly and @AbbyChavaStein!
This was a major win for mass politics in this chapter, & a real sign of great things to come!

To everyone celebrating Lula’s reelection victory, I just want us to all acknowledge Erika Hilton right here. She’s a Black trans woman who became the most voted congresswoman in Brazilian history this cycle and has been campaigning nonstop for Lula in the second round

Trans people, you can also use this to erase associations with a previous name that keep popping up.
i'm open sourcing UNBROKER: a tool that finds where your personal info is exposed by data brokers and files the removals for you
it runs as a skill in Hermes Agent
_________
your data is everywhere; hundreds of brokers publish your name, current and old addresses, phone, email, birthday, even your relatives. anyone can find where you live in about ten seconds
CCPA, CPRA, GDPR, and a growing number of state laws say a broker has to delete your data if you ask. there's just no easy bulk button. every broker has a different process and many make it intentionally difficult to exercise your right to delete
this is the entire business model for companies like DeleteMe, Incogni, EasyOptOuts; they charge you monthly (DeleteMe is $330/yr for a Family plan) to file removals that you can submit yourself for free, and then you're giving a new company the exact data you want to erase
so i built one you just run for free. your data never even has to leave your machine if you run a local model
_________
how it works:
first it builds search vectors from everything: every name, alias, email, phone, and address you've had (brokers might index you under a maiden name or a house you left in 2014, so the naive "current name + current city" approach can miss profiles). then it fans out parallel sub-agents across the broker list, which refreshes from a maintained public source
automation is tiered. when it can handle a broker end to end with your settings, it drives a browser through the opt-out form, sends the email, and opens the confirmation link itself. soft CAPTCHAs clear on their own with a real browser. anything only a human can finish comes back to you as a short list at the end
the email side doesn't need a stored password and can send opt-outs and open verification links through your own logged-in webmail. you can also wire up SMTP, or keep it manual and just send the drafts it writes
it tailors every request to your jurisdiction, filing under the framework that applies where you live: CCPA and CPRA in California, GDPR in the EU and UK, a general right-to-delete request everywhere else. if you're in California it also uses the state's DROP portal, a single request that covers 500+ registered brokers at once
it holds as little of your data as it can, and keeps it local. dossiers are encrypted at rest if you want, opaque ids keep your real name out of every filename and log, and nothing leaves your machine unless you opt in
brokers sometimes relist you eventually or new ones find your data, so every case is tracked in a ledger and can be re-scanned on a cron schedule so if your data pops back up it files the removal again

Terrible TNR story
Yes, it's sad that a ~dozen FEC holdouts are confused...but why not interview the thousands who already happily moved, still waiting on the Dirty Dozen to move?
Or why not interview the 1000 families on waitlist for the new public housing now delayed at FEC?
Their Buildings Are Set to Be Demolished. They Won’t Move Out. trib.al/MDnypwW

Just to be clear. This redevelopment goes from 2,000 old NYCHA units to:
2,000 new NYCHA units, plus
1,000 additional new affordable units, plus
2,000 new market rate units
And the old buildings don’t come down until the new buildings have been built and NYCHA residents move in.
I just filled out my ballot with all @GroundworkDSA and @DSASocMaj folks.
If you’re an NYC DSA member, you have until tomorrow to vote for city convention delegates. If you’re in NBK, please rank me in your rank 1 (or even 2 or 3 helps!)
When you break things off with a guy, and he asks to be friends, and you decline, and he ARGUES. Does he think this is a matter of me not being informed enough? Confusing
Why do residential jackhammer permits have to start at 7am (right next door, one the one weekday I sleep in)?

Replying to @BriannaWu
People who hate trans people seem to think about trans people a lot more than anyone else.
Understanding NYC local politics means recognizing that a significant percent of the population’s ideology is just “nobody should be comfortable or have any fun anywhere near me, and nothing should ever change”
If you’re an DSA member, please rank my friends and I on this slate! I also strongly recommend checking out the SMC slates. Combined, this represents the mass politics oriented side of the organization that brought us Zohran’s mayorship & the Build Public Renewables Act ✊🌹
Replying to @GroundworkDSA
We’ll also push to deliver Zohran’s agenda through a productive relationship that pulls him left, mobilizing to create the Department of Community Safety and disband the Strategic Response Group.
In 2025, we elected a socialist mayor. In 2028, we'll take the country. ❤️🔥🌹❤️🔥🌹❤️🔥
