Lately, it feels like we’re watching the slow-motion dismantling of the Constitution, one Trump executive order or deportation at a time. If you've ever found yourself thinking, β€œThat can’t be constitutional,” you're not wrong. This piece takes a closer look at five core constitutional principles Trump has taken a wrecking ball to. Understanding precisely what's under threat by Trump's actions is the best way to fight back against them. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-constitution-violations

You're right George. #Knowledge is #Power. Especially with #Adversaries like #Trump + his #Cons.

Listen! #Knowledge coming from #museums:
"#ActivityPub is plumbing. It is plumbing built on top of the web, which coordinates the ability for independently operated services, for example a collection of federated social media services, to exchange messages with each other in a decentralized manner.
So #SFOMuseum has built its own ActivityPub server for publishing #socialmedia style messages.
In doing so, it means that we can(& have)created social media accounts for 60,000 objects in our collection including this roll of #HelloKitty toilet paper from #EvaAirlines."

I remember when I was so optimistic about the techno-future. You know, "the #internet is the greatest advance in human #communication and #knowledge since the invention of #writing" and all that. I really believed we were headed for a golden age.

Maybe I was naive. But maybe not. Maybe we *could* have had that #future. And then the #techbros hijacked it and turned it to shit.
