The principle of Israel is to kill and displace native people to have an ethnic supremacist state.
There is no compromise with that. There is no both sides to it. It is evil and it needs to end. The existence of Israel is an affront to humanity. Genocide is its true nature.
Abdul El-Sayed on Israel-Palestine:
I understand on both sides of this debate, we're also dealing with a lot of trauma. A lot of trauma.
I understand that for a lot of Jewish Americans, there's the trauma of the Holocaust and the need to have a refuge. I understand that.
And I also understand that for a lot of Palestinian Americans and Palestinians everywhere, there's the trauma of the Nakba.
We've got to be able to create the circumstances within which both of these deeply traumatized people can have a conversation built on principle. But to me, the answer has to be principle. It has to be.

It's possible that if the billionaire tax passes and is able to be implemented, billionaires will leave. That's not as bad as some are suggesting though.
Billionaires find loopholes to avoid paying taxes and don't actually contribute much to California's tax base.

This is good to hear. The Canadian journalist who spread disinformation to cover for a genocidal monster, and demonize the people protesting him is actually facing accountability for it.
I don’t understand why this CBC journalist is facing disciplinary action. He describes facing threats while attending a synagogue service and provides context with rise of antisemitism, terror attack and guest speaker. Thread is accurate. What’s the issue?

A new map published Wednesday by a cybersecurity researcher reveals Flock’s nationwide reach is even bigger than previously known. Now, Flock is trying to get that map wiped from the internet.

Not surprised these things are super easy to exploit. It’s a Y Combinator startup.
The actual company and product is an afterthought, and it’s all about the pitch deck idea of dystopian surveillance, a sales team pitching that for SaaS contracts, and a speculative valuation.
Cybersecurity researcher: I found that Flock did not require their clients to use multi-factor authentication. This led me to find Flock law enforcement accounts for sale by a Russian vendor on a dark web marketplace. In addition to this, we found insufficiently protected sensitive information stored on Flock cameras, including photos, license plate data, logs, API keys, passwords, and communications.

Given all the voter concern about Flock cameras you would think our local San Francisco Democratic party would have required the two member who work for Flock to recuse themselves from a vote concerning their use

How is Mark Zuckerberg's AI pendant different from Friend, which launched two years ago? It looks more like an Apple Watch, and has an animated character on a screen.
Like Oculus and the Metaverse, there's nothing new here. But they think Meta is a world people want to be in.

The SF Dem party - which has two lobbyists for Flock, and a majority of the others had their campaigns funded by the billionaire who owns the SFPD surveillance control center - just did a meaningless endorsement of Flock.
It’s so comically corrupt.

“Two of the committee’s current members — Lily Ho and Trevor Chandler — work for Flock.
The committee does not have rules related to conflicts of interest for issues like this, Tung told Mar. They then proceeded to count both Ho and Chandler’s votes.”

You can't really share YouTube videos here. But this episode is great. Paris Marx talks about the threat (and current implementation) of AI is not automation, but a total assault on workers. Constant surveillance, algorithmic wage suppression, dramatically reduced quality of life

Mission Local is going to include Alex Behrend – who is running against Matt Dorsey in SF – in its election coverage. This is good!
Joe informed us I'll be included in the Meet The Candidates series going forward. (Sara Hopkins says they'll also post my answers to prior topics)
Very happy for D6 voters who can now compare my priorities & values side-by-side to incumbent Matt Dorsey's

left police
arrest this wokescold
her emancipatory language
is centering immediate desires
and we have drawn her boundaries
as someone who has built a sizable and approachable left community online, the secret sauce is routinely purging narcissistic woke scolds who deploy emancipatory language when they want to center their immediate desires selfishly as a separate convo is taking place. it’s also caused a lot of grief from ppl who see out of context clips, but nevertheless boundaries must be drawn.
