Deeply moved by my colleagues at @MoJoUnion who organized this fundraiser following my termination at @MotherJones. As I navigate an unexpected period of transition, your support – no matter what the size – would mean the world. Every contribution helps. gofundme.com/f/community-sup…

Four academics from @BYU got copies of hundreds of thousands of records I obtained through years of FOIA requests and litigation and have started presenting and publishing a sizable body of work without mentioning that the records I acquired form the basis of their studies.

Referring to people crossing the border without authorization as "illegals" is not only inaccurate, it's deeply racist and offensive.

We will not be moved!
Hundreds are engaging in civil disobedience as a part of the People’s State of the Union & making it clear they disapprove of Biden’s support for Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. #CeasefireNow

Today Palestinians are suing @POTUS, @SecBlinken, & @SecDef in a federal court in CA for aiding and abetting Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Every lawmaker that hasn’t called for a #CeasefireNow: consider yourself on notice. #WeChargeGenocide

Today’s announcement was the direct result of the mounting pressure, criticism, & organizing led by communities impacted by police surveillance. While it’s great news, we won’t stop until we see an end to all of amazons surveillance partnerships w/police

The FTC just banned RiteAid, a major retailer, from using facial recognition for five years based on its harmful and irresponsible use of a system that was set up to fail, and likely to fail Black, Asian, Latino, and women consumers the most.

Our #UnshacklingFreedom researchers are truly expanding the landscape on EM research. We’re so glad to hear this work is making an impact in Brazil as the fight against carceral tech in the US has much to share and learn from the global movement to resist and transform!
Listening to a 🔥👏 panel on electronic monitoring technologies, race, racism and carcerality in United States and Brazil. It involves lived experience insights. So moving and galvanising. Thankful to be part of these discussions in Brasilia 🇧🇷 with @PNUDBrasil @UNDP @CNJ_oficial

Did you know the city put dozens of new surveillance cameras up in Echo Park Lake?
LAPD tried hiding these locations, but we sued the city and won. Download and share: tinyurl.com/EPCAMERAS

New: A court used an invasive smart-phone app to surveil the entire family of a man released on bond.
The app sent screenshots of everything the family did on their phones back to probation officers.
Now he’s back in jail, and the app may be to blame.
