We’re partnering with civil rights groups and other allies during the Freedom to Learn Network’s National Week of Action to say #HandsOffOurHistory.
This week, we are focused on fighting back against the erasure of Black history in our libraries, museums, and classrooms.
Join us on Saturday for the 3rd Annual #FreedomToLearn Day of Action. The current administration’s attacks on education are just the beginning. Our freedom to learn is under threat, but we won’t back down: https://bit.ly/NWoADC_Indivisible

Before prevalent social media, a static webpage and a few mailing lists could shake a brand.
My 1999 #Swatch #Protest archive shows how amateur radio operators used hand-coded HTML, listserv chains, and Usenet newsgroups to stop Swatch’s #satellite from advertising on their radio frequencies.

@georgetakei This sounds like the old consultants joke. If the project works, client take credit, if the project fails then it's the consultant's fault.
@venitamathias LOL but at least the support #HBCUs ...verbally /s
@georgetakei I’ve always found it interesting that he refers to himself in 3rd person.
Interview: "Yemeni People in State of Terror After 1,000+ U.S. Airstrikes
"A U.S. military strike on a migrant detention center in the north of Yemen has killed at least 68 people, bringing the death toll from U.S. attacks on the country to over 250 since mid-March."
"Researcher Helen Lackner says the number of deaths is likely twice the officially recorded number."
Portnoy has a complaint.
#MayDay protesters will rally nationwide against the 'war on working people'
Emma Bowman, April 30, 2025
"Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to take to the streets nationwide on Thursday in May Day rallies opposing the #Trump administration.
"May Day, celebrated by workers across the globe as #InternationalLaborDay, occurs on May 1 each year. This year, activists in the U.S. aim to build on the momentum of recent widespread grassroots protests against policies implemented by the Trump administration.
"#AntiTrump protesters have expressed a range of concerns regarding the administration's recent actions, including the elimination of thousands of federal #jobs, #immigration raids, and billionaire Elon #Musk's involvement in downsizing the U.S. government.
"A protest against the Trump administration's 'war on #WorkingPeople'
"On May Day, protesters are honing their message to decry what they say are attacks on the working class and immigrants. Organizers for the effort, called #MayDayStrong, say the administration and its billionaire allies pose a threat to labor rights, public services, and the safety of immigrants regardless of their legal status. Organizers have stated their opposition to violent forms of protest.
"' This is a war on working people,' organizers said on the May Day Strong events web page.
" 'They're defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence,' they added. 'We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They've ruled for too long.'
"The White House did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment.
"The U.S. does not officially observe the labor holiday, due to what historians say is an enduring resistance to working-class unity. Despite that resistance, America's working class has found ways to commemorate May Day since the 19th century."
Today is the day, go hit the streets. More than 1000 protest all across the United States and Europe for May Day. Find one near you and join, share widely. www.mobilize.us/mayday/map/ #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #EndAutogenocide #mayday
In the spirit of sharing, I created a repository for a Technician class starter notebook.
It uses Logseq to take a structured collection of Markdown files to create a link-rich series of flashcards.

Beijing still has its shortwave stations (which it uses to project its power and propaganda into the rest of the world) running... unlike the US. #shortwave

Via JackJenkins.me on Bluesky:
BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
Jack Jenkins reports that Rev. William Barber was arrested in the Capitol Rotunda after praying publicly today about the Republican budget"
"While arresting protesters at the Capitol is not unusual, the response to Barber’s prayer was unusually dramatic:"
