I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. (1/3)

if your "antifascism" involves no resistance to the fascist death squads masquerading as a police force and in fact involves supporting candidates who infinitely increase police funding, you're just a regular fascist movement competing against another regular fascist movement.

I'm attending We Defend DC Virtual Meeting. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/we-…
I'm grimly relieved that I haven't been gaslighting myself with concern that DC's right to self governance truly at risk under Trump.
We couldn't vote for mayor or POTUS until 1973.
"Mainstream" 🐘 in Congress 💯 want to take that away.
⚠️ sent March 2023,🌀hits in 2025.
Veteran reporter Martin Austermuhle (whose day-to-day reporting on DC for WAMU is sorely missed) lays out in detail the troubled road ahead that local DC faces with Trump & Repubs in control that many of us have been warning about. 51st.news/what-republican-co…

Congo’s tropical forests are the second-largest in the world. If destroyed, they’d release as much carbon as 20 years of U.S. fossil fuel emissions.
Preserving Congo is non-negotiable.

Global protests erupted in September over Apple's iPhone 16 launch, many are demanding accountability for exploitation in mineral mining in the Congo. We reached out to Apple for a comment but did not receive a response.

Congo, Palestine, Sudan, Haiti: all these movements share a universal call to end systemic injustice.

Our @MayorBowser chose to add parking to Connecticut Avenue instead of protected bike lanes so our kids can't safely get around their own neighborhood.

If public funds were used to mislead and lie to the people of DC, writing about it doesn't sully the reputation of anyone who wasn't involved in a cover-up.
