Countless smartphones seized in arrests and searches by police forces across the United States are being auctioned online without first having the data on them erased, a practice that can lead to crime victims being re-victimized, a new study found. In response, the largest online marketplace for items seized in U.S. law enforcement investigations says it now ensures that all phones sold through its platform will be data-wiped prior to auction.

This is a map of coops.

Would you like to see an international map?

I will be speaking with the founder this week, so I would like to connect the people on Social.Coop with the people at Solidarity Economy Network.

I would be grateful if the members of Social.Coop would comment on the map, and boost this tweet to encourage discussion of such a map.

What changes would you like to see in the map. How could you use it?

people need to be reminded that stock buybacks were considered manipulative of the markets and illegal before 1982.

It's often said we should never assume malice where ignorance suffices, but I'm starting to think we underestimate malice.

Increasingly convinced that the job mobility of US workers found in the past 30-50 years (shoddy promotion pathing, zero formal in-house training, consistently hiring outside, essentially random layoffs) is less a product of a mercenary labor force, or even a product of managerial incompetence, than it is a deliberate strategy by enterprise owners.

Consistently losing and re-hiring workers is expensive, in both dollar and productivity terms, but you know what constantly job-hopping workers don't do? Organize.

If you're not going to be somewhere longer than 2-3 years, there's very weak incentives to build the kind of relationships that unionization efforts require. If the workplace sucks, you just leave instead of fighting for improvements with your friends.

@ceresbzns We need at least sector-wide unions that protect you throughout your career so that you don't have to fight to organize each workplace. Employers need to find that they can't hire people who aren't already represented by the union. And then there's the IWW, One Big Union.

chriscaple,

@ceresbzns Dehumanization, alienation, and atomization. Turn all citizens into workers, turn all workers into self-maximizing units of economic productivity, make it economically unappealing / impossible to put down real long term roots in any specific geographic location, prevent the building of genuine real-world community... yep. The corporate invasion, takeover, occupation, and colonization of human consciousness has been incredibly successful.

    I believe it is time to ban advertising. Now, I realize that much of the internet depends on advertising for its revenue, but that is offset by the fact that I don't give a fuck

    👀 Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
    One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
    The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
    Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
    When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".

    I have a node.exe process which is and has been for most of an hour taking up all available CPU, usually averaging over 70% and taking up six gigabytes of memory, and I have no fucking idea what launched it, or what it's doing, or how to get that information on Windows

    I think a Sublime Text plugin might have gone out of control but it's hard to be sure

    Reminders Against the Memory Hole:

    Michael Reinohl was executed by cops in the streets without observation of proper escalation of force protocols. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/michael-reinoehl-antifa-portland-shooting.html

    Portland Police were outright caught cozying up with rightwing extremists via text and otherwise. They were protecting them.

    Portland Police Bureau violated their agreements with the federal government about use of force and chemical weapons
    https://www.opb.org/article/2022/07/27/us-justice-department-portland-police-use-of-force-settlement/?outputType=amp

    District Attorney Mike Schmidt tried to imprisonment for up to 29 years for catching a hammer mid-swing from the hands of an American neo-nazi named Mark Quon, as he attempted to murder a Portlander. Schmidt never bothered to contact the assailant, and he had no witnesses.

    https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2019/09/key-protest-witness-nowhere-near-bus-during-portland-hammer-attack-lawyer-says.html

    (What happened with me that day? Here's an exhaustive video by a journalist who was on the bus just after the incident for which I was charged.) https://youtu.be/sfFNnjYURH0

    Portland Police officers accused of violent crimes throughtout the Racial Justice protests (many with ample and awful video footage such as this one https://youtu.be/CcuGuAxGf88) were essentially let off the hook en masse. A dozen of them were intentionally prosecuted by Nicole Hermann, ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-hermann-3ba28069the ) the staggering, clueless deputy DA who literally had no idea what my case was about when she tried to convince the judge at my sentencing to charge me an additional $10k in fines and jail me for 45 days, despite my case having no plaintiffs, injured parties, or even firsthandwitnesses for the prosecution to leverage.
    Man at center of viral 2019 clashes in downtown Portland gets time served ... https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2021/11/man-at-center-of-viral-2019-clashes-in-downtown-portland-gets-time-served-community-service.html?outputType=amp

    Portland residents were disappeared by federal goons in unmarked cars and there was zero recourse for the black-baggings.

    Don't forget what happened here in Portland, y'all. Shit may have ramped down in the streets, but it hasn't gotten better in America. Biden pushed for more cops and more money for cops.

    “People who criticize new technologies are sometimes called Luddites, but it’s helpful to clarify what the Luddites actually wanted. The main thing they were protesting was the fact that their wages were falling at the same time that factory owners’ profits were increasing, along with food prices. They were also protesting unsafe working conditions, the use of child labor, and the sale of shoddy goods that discredited the entire textile industry. The Luddites did not indiscriminately destroy machines; if a machine’s owner paid his workers well, they left it alone. The Luddites were not anti-technology; what they wanted was economic justice. They destroyed machinery as a way to get factory owners’ attention. The fact that the word is now used as an insult, a way of calling someone irrational and ignorant, is a result of a smear campaign by the forces of capital.”

    I’m currently paying them $11.90 a month to host my homeserver on their EMS platform.

    My payment in April will have been the last.

    It’s one thing to provide FLOSS comms to the government. It’s another to proudly support our fucked up police system.
