🚨 Exclusive: Major federal immigration operation headed to San Francisco Bay Area / SF Chronicle
「 On Sunday, Trump told Fox News: “We’re going to San Francisco and we’ll make it great. It’ll be great again. San Francisco is a great city. It won’t be great if it keeps going like this. We’re gonna go to San Francisco. The difference is they want us in San Francisco.” 」

#SanFrancisco whistle protocols.
(If you’re willing to deal with Evil Jeff, there are many inexpensive whistles available, some with next day arrival.)
BAY AREA PEOPLE, find your local Rapid Response Network and put their information into your phone NOW: https://www.ccijustice.org/carrn
Consider equipping yourself with a safety whistle and signing up for a legal observer training with your local network, too.
Images attached are the info for Sonoma and Napa Counties.

A few photos from @petalumapride.org 2025! A couple team photos, from day of and day after, a group selfie from the merch tent, and one aerial photo.
Bigger than our last festival by every metric: bigger team, more attendees (at least 1500 throughout the day), more participating organizations, more activities, more entertainment, more fun!
HUGE thanks to all of my friends who donated and helped make it possible 💖

this sets out very clearly what OpenAI is doing, it's a fairly simple revenue recognition scam - where you book revenue you haven't yet, ah, received.
(Morally if not legally fraud. Yet.)
Trumpeting "$1 trillion" of receivables on $4.3b actual revenue.

I recall one 2000's dotcom startup doing some sort of shenanigans involving building boxes, getting only a customer nod that they wanted them, and then counting it as revenue.
When the crash came, the customers evaporated, and the company collapsed, there was this big pile of product piled up somewhere, fated to be sold off cheap as unwanted garbage.
It showed up in local junk stores like Weird Stuff years later.
Does anyone know if there is a place in San Francisco that is trying to keep computers out of the landfill by installing linux on the hardware that will no longer be supported by Windows 11? if there is a group of people doing this, do you need volunteers to clean, and install open source software in those systems? #SFBA

East Bay peeps! Tonight!! Come see me and FOUR other incredible speculative fiction authors talking about our books at Pegasus Books, 2349 Shattuck Ave. Weds. Oct 1 @ 7 PM.
Featuring @Gaileyfrey, @charliejane, Susanna Kwan and Lio Min.
Today, at the Maker Faire, someone came to my booth...after a brief look at my art, they said "oh! I see your work on Mastodon!"
Turns out they see it when @artcollisions boosts my posts.
Things may not go "viral" here, but the connections are more important...more human....more real.
And yes, they bought some of my art.
I also met someone today who told me about a safety class for laser cutters...here in San Francisco! Super big win, for me!
Grateful for the ever growing North Bay Rapid Response Network's work to document immigration action and support our neighbors. Finally got my training as a legal observer today!
There's probably a network like it where you live. Check them out and get plugged in!
