To be clear, I am not a member of or seeking membership in any private militia. We can however have a defense organization that does frontier research and development as a legal and valuable market competitor to Anduril and Palintir.

Okay but my anarchist trans liberation cell does depend on the water from this basin and a continuation of the ban on fracking in the basin which was instituted by this commission.
The problem isn't phones or screens, it's the capitalist data scraping hellscape that the internet has become. But why reign in our corporations when there are children to punish?
I worked on open source DVD players when the DMCA was first passed which led to several collaborators being jailed. I also worked with Aaron Swartz.
I don't support Twain -- you are making his argument from the 1800s. It is a conservative and capitalist argument. I advise you reflect on that.
I've had associates imprisoned and killed over the DMCA. You know nothing.
I beg you to read it. It's critical history of how and why the law is what it is. The overton window has moved so much you don't see that you're being conned
This is what "AI is theft" is perpetuating, the continued theft of our social labor under a guise of individual ownership www.thepublicdomain.org/2014/07/19/m...
Do you have any idea how copyright functions or how we got here? The concept of art being "stolen" is rooted in 19th century notions of perpetual ownership of ideas designed to keep you poor.
How does AI steal from anyone? Do you mean copyright infringement? The conservative notion of perpetual intellectual property as celebrated by Mark Twain that has truly stolen the labor of workers for Disney's perpetual nostalgia machine?
We're behind because there's limited market drivers and regulations have held back hobbyists from innovating potential dual use technologies for decades... while all the magnets come from China and lobbyists have made sure only the least competent are authorized to innovate.

Newsom isn't fighting for us, he is fighting for *purity*. The purity test you're talking about is coming from inside the house bsky.app/profile/bird...
"democrats are not the enemy" You clearly haven't seen the Newsom stans.
Those who refuse to learn are history are doomed to repeat it? Obama made decisions and took actions which directly led us to the situation we're in now. Democrats refusing to acknowledge their complicity in what is happening is exactly why this is happening.
Obama quietly approved of a plan for the Pentagon to fuse the military with corporations, alleging that it was necessary to compete with China. He handed power to Schmidt and Thiel. There was a Pentagon venture group given a permission slip to ignore all US law signed by Ash Carter
We're being accused of "purity politics" for not voting against our rights, but the irony is that Newsom and Trump are the purity candidates. These men clearly desire a pure homeland without those they deem undesirable. Yet it's "purity politics" to exist and demand maintenance of civil rights.
I think this is more true of Bsky. I expect terrible people to be on X, but the fact is that Democrats and liberals can be just as bad, and often are. When democrats come on here and start working to take away our healthcare to establish themselves as our enemies, the nihilism only deepens.
It's super dangerous when it comes to politics, especially if the user is marginalized. LLMs will straight-up gaslight you. Anyway, I'm working on the solution to this 🙌
Sold it all into the red because I wanted enough liquidity to stay in my house another couple months. 25 years of tech work and it's almost all gone
splurged from November- January expecting this... and still didn't buy enough.
No
I died of old age reading that, thank you for the helpful explainer. 🤘🏼
I don't think this has made it to elder gay internet yet.
Good thing DEFCON is canceled this year
thankfully I cashed out the 401k after the corporate restructuring, i guess.
Idk, it sounds like someone is getting drilled.
What about the ways this will be misused against LGBT people and political opponents? I support the EFF, and it makes me suspicious of any bill they oppose. This bill has some good aspirations but some areas where it will be abused as written...
cool unemployed leftist trans people who can't afford to replace their car are stuck with these things and lumped in with your "collaborators". I knew Elon was a dick but Ford and VW aren't better... All of the options are bad. I was disabled and saw my Tesla as an accessibility aid. 🤷🏻♀️
He should stop but we still need defense against what he is doing. Dems can't just consider it inconsequential... it is very consequential to LGBT Americans and visitors.
@repdean.bsky.social I hope you can repost and boost this Democrat win? Your voice would be appreciated!
I've heard rumors for weeks that trans people are being called "inconsequential" on the hill. Is this word choice intentional at the NYT and indicative of the rise of this phrasing?

Who ARE you willing to abandon?
His bar for AI success is becoming a robber baron.
"So, the first thing that we all have to do is, when we say this is like the Industrial Revolution, let's have that Industrial Revolution type of growth," he said. "The real benchmark is: the world growing at 10 percent," he added. "When that happens, we'll be fine as an industry."
Some events have a greater concentration than others. We need a reprogramming track 👀

Iran may soon become like America and the UK if they keep this up 👀
Defcon is fedcon 👀. HOPE could conceivably relocate to Toronto?

The RRC cannot solve the firing of LGBTQIA workers, discrimination in travel and at the border. They help with coping skills--we need material conditions. What are you doing so that we don't need therapy? So we can participate in society directly?
for me this was a pipeline to rompers and dresses. i guess luigi was on another pipeline.
guilty... and a girl now.
This is also flawed because now it will gaslight you by denying that Trump is President, denies what DOGE is doing, calls Trump's executive orders "hypothetical"...
The full exploit chain meant you could MITM a docker registry, downgrade TLS to HTTP, inject a malicious docker image with a checksum collision, and execute arbitrary kernel-level code on the image pull (not when the image was run -- on pull!). It also circumvented selinux. Fun times 😂🔥
The time I was testing an exploit for an checksum algorithm only to encounter a double free in gnu tar which was caused by accidentally discovering an ACE in the Linux filesystem driver.
By being open and unapologetic Marxists
Exactly. This country and its corporations have such an antagonistic approach to trans workers (and soldiers) that they make us unwilling internal threats and liabilities. That liability and threat goes away with the abolishment of material discrimination.
His language about transgender people was also reprehensible but you have said nothing about it. Are you abandoning us?
Making friends with Cruz, Mace, and Salazar? Interesting...
I truly hope that works out. My family is in fight or flight mode, we are directly targeted. I may not be able to board an airplane within a few months. Oh and that slim margin if congress flips? Still comprised of pro-segregationist and pro-genocide bipartisanship loving democrats.
Specifically, what do you think transgender Americans sound be doing?
Nothing the rest of the world hasn't had to deal with already. Americans faced with the choice of fighting for freedom or rolling over to die, you choose rolling over? But then, maybe you're not one of the people they're targeting? Also... Abrams are soft targets in 2025.
Instead of suing, dems need to arm up and ready up. If they aren't willing to defend the constitution from domestic threats and arm their minority populations then they shouldn't be surprised when the revolution knocks. wnyt.com/us-news/demo...
Tim Walz is doing a good job at doing the bare minimum which is beyond what other dems are -- speaking up for trans, black, and women. Democrats should arm and deputize State Defense Forces provided by likes of John Brown Gun Club, SRA, and Black Panthers. The GOP has done a version of this already
Democrats are literally doing little to nothing. They won't even speak to the persecution of trans people. Even if they somehow "save democracy" they are doing so over the blood of millions they won't even recognize.
I could be employed but at what cost to my soul? There is no ethical work for US corporations.
A lot of us are already unemployed even with spectacular resumes. It's a struggle to focus on work while struggling with anxiety and ptsd caused by political environmental factors which have impacted trans workers harder and longer than cis workers.
Democrats are complicit
"Great theory", not grease
We may disagree with how he did it, but Mao spoke some grease theory about keeping these folks out of power and the need for continuous revolution to defang fascists.
Read or re-read Whipping Girl and come back. Then read some Mao. I guarantee you that you're making enemies out of allies for no good reason.
Have you read any theory at all? While imperfect these topics are discussed in depth in works such as Whipping Girl, for an example. You are dissecting our allies and destroying coalitions for nuances you disagree with while we're under genocidal government actions.
We can be impacted by multiple axis of discrimination & there can be collateral impacts to all men and women from cissexism. Attacking allies & trans women because their takes aren't 100% precisely how you expect Julia Serrano would author theory is also transmisogynistic.
The law won't save us. Nearly all authoritarian regimes legitimize their actions within the law and make their acts legal. More lawyers need to realize this.
I appreciate the desire and your passion. It may be protest but it is not resistance. That strategy may work somewhat against a liberal capitalist opponent but it is ineffective against fascism. The stakes are too high for pussy hats and Gulf of Mexico t-shirts. We need arms.
Learn who our real enemies are and build alliances and coalitions with our allies rather than scolding others for nuanced takes on theory. Lets keep the fight against the right.
Learn who your real enemies are and focus on them instead of attacking your allies.
Thank you for this. As a trans woman, I agree with the framing in the article. Trans women are not men, but we cannot ignore that from the perspective of the right, that they see us as men and what is bad for trans women is bad for all men and all women.
There is no such thing as resistance merch. Resistance is illegal. What you did was capitalism.
The US government as we knew it is gone for. The age of Democrats and democracy are over. We must urgently establish a parallel system of power and strength which can challenge this new system from within.
We need to move past politicians. Democracy is dead. Democrats are complicit. Time for the unity of the workers to solve this crisis.
Corporate DEI has always been a sham. Companies have been itching to comply. Transgender and other marginalized workers have known this for years. Corporations have only wanted the appearance of diversity and inclusion.
Some good news for the LGBTQIA would be preferable to queerbaiting us.
IANAL but couldn't this ban consensually shared images "not of public concern"?
Why are you proposing a rule that applies to "the female nipple"? Can we recognize that this is sexist, anti-feminist, and also disproportionately harms the transgender community? Especially at a time Trump is attempting to enforce legal segregation of sexes?
The dire situation for trans tech workers is significantly under recognized. Maybe it's because tech work has become so maligned or because we're assumed to be raking in money... but these companies are laying us off first and hiring us last. Plus tech cos have become incredibly toxic.
I am pro-AI but the government is leveraging to keep independent research and development labs and educational institutions out, while promising an unprecedented wealth transfer to OpenAI and Nvidia in particular.
While DOGE defunds every institution in America, let us not forget the $500B commitment to AI product development and the war American capitalists are waging on open source.
I was also becoming a worse person myself for it, and decided to take a path to fix myself. That meant leaving behind terrible people -- it meant leaving the church among other things.
I had religious OCD and joined the church for my anxiety. I never believed in enforcing religion on others, even my children. When I saw the church and congregation being hateful, I saw it as a mission to push against that. Ultimately, I realized I couldn't change them, and parted ways.
How about blatant attacks on your constituent's basic human rights? The attacks seeking to segregate our society and reinforce the patriarchy?
They need to continue doing work that has not been censored. If they stop doing work that benefits the black and LGBT populations to secure future funding, is that acceptable or unacceptable to you? If they proceed with discrimination we will tear them down with the Pennsylvania Human Rights Act
Hear me out; malicious compliance
Go birds! City is going wild
It's not too late to backtrack from your segregationist and anti-suffrage record.
I recommend reading Das Kapital next
This can be true and also its strength. Human knowledge is "eventually consistent" -- we all have unique subsets of overall human knowledge and most of us can operate independently. It is a model of high availability and partitionability, and often *preferable* to consistency.
Oh how the leopards eat your own face...
If DOGE were really about saving money they would eliminate sex from passports.
It is unfortunate that we have to celebrate the bare minimum.
Let them eat cake, Congresswoman. Bread and circuses, right? Meanwhile, your constituents are being persecuted for "DEIA". Losing freedom of travel, of healthcare, their jobs and housing. Segregation is back and you voted for it. Do better and show up to fight oppression, stop causing it.
What about our transgender veterans and military families denied medical care? Didn't you vote to eliminate TRICARE for this vulnerable population?
What is your stance on segregation? Why have you not spoken up or taken action on sex segregationist executive orders under Trump? Pennsylvania citizens are being denied passport applications and renewals.
I feel this in my bones. I unfollowed years back because I couldn't handle it. At least on Tiktok she heard the feedback and used background colors to indicate if something was positive, neutral, negative, or grave news.
The job is too important for everyone except the queer kids? Just a small sacrifice for your "normal" people right?
I can't leave. I would need my state family court to allow me to relocate with my children away. I will not leave them behind. I have been working to establish a new startup but I don't know how I can compete while directly targeted by this administration.
The anti-trans attacks are also plainly sex segregationist. It should be a surprise to no one that it would facilitate race segregation, yet here we are.
On the call, Dean continued to ignore our transgender citizens and travelers who via executive order are experiencing discrimination in employment, housing, and medical access, denial and confiscation of identity documents, border scrutiny, and an increase of the age of medical consent to 19.
