From underneath @pluralistic's article:

"I remember when the micro-chip was new. They said that by the end of the twentieth century we'd all have much more leisure time. They forgot that we live under a system where the benefits go to the few, and the majority end up either losing their job, or being controlled by the new #technology, being de-skilled, spied on, and probably working even harder."

Trump may be the beginning of the end for ‘enshittification’ – this is our chance to make tech good again | Cory Doctorow

The US president is weaponising tech, but his tariffs and Brexit provide a surprising opportunity to gain back digital control of our lives, says science fiction author, activist and journalist Cory Doctorow

It’s not about keeping us safe from criminals. This is ethnic cleansing.

Screenshot of a post on X by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@R…) stating: “NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all—no criminal convictions and no pending criminal charges.” Below the text is a line chart titled “Detention Population, Among Those Arrested in the Interior, by Criminal Record, May 2019 through January 7, 2026.” The chart shows three lines—prior convictions, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record—with a sharp rise near the end in the “no criminal record” category. The source is listed as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

@georgetakei

What every US citizen can do right now:
It’s 2026 – #US midterms in November!
If you want the #vote to work now, get an
ever growing mass of the concerned to
write/email/phone/scream outside their offices,
contact their reps with the #impeachment
demand, or, we #primary you with someone
who will, while finding those candidates
and promoting them
Let’s do #democracy against these fascist
upstarts and their enablers.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
