Welcome Back! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ

I hope you all are finding ways to stay grounded through a history-making world (primal screams or rage rooms also count!). I'm listening to radical tunes with good beats.

Getting to the roots - navigating tech, media, & communications
The Tech News that's not fit to print in mainstream media!
  1. ๐Ÿ“š We Can't Post Our Way Out of Fascism - I use 404Media as a source all the time, but it seems like everyone now needs their amazing independent tech journalism. This piece is very timely and something we encourage. Organizing off and online is crucial right now.
  2. ๐ŸŽฌ GOP Stifling Open Source Tech & China - in an unsurprising turn of events, Josh Hawley introduced a bill in the Senate to limit Chinaโ€™s AI advances after DeepSeek make Big Tech look foolish.
  3. ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Staying Updated without Drowning - Join us for Set Yourself Up lunch and learn next Thursday @ 12:30pm EST/9:30am PST to build resilient Media Consumption Habits so we can stay in the know in order to act, not drown.
  4. ๐Ÿ“š U.S. Government a Client of Israeli Spyware - In an unsurprising turn of events, top Israeli spyware company, Paragon, confirmed the U.S. government as a client. What gets tested in Gaza gets used in surveillance states around the world.
