In a touching show of solidarity among the tech oligarchy, Google, Meta, and TikTok are helping Xitter to suppress Alex Gibney's new documentary about Elon Musk, according to the Hollywood Reporter. A fool-proof plan for the "free speach absolutist".

Right so, Facebook is all sad because people are calling their "AI" surveillance specs "Pervert Glasses" and it's killing them. It's also establishing the social norm that you don't go around with video recording glasses on your face, you'll be shunned. So we need to start calling the Apple Watch the "Creep Watch" for humanity's sake. #Privacy #Apple #MassSurveillancehttps://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/117259285279707604

“… a new disruptive transport technology is rapidly changing cities across the rich world. It is highly energy-efficient, costs almost nothing, reduces congestion and pollution, and obviates the need for huge car parks. Yet it is not the self-driving electric car, as tech moguls and car industry executives imagined. Rather, it is the humble bicycle.” #BikeTooter https://archive.ph/86DpV

#PDX The proposed measure that would have redirected 25% of the money in the Portland Clean Energy Fund to hiring more police has failed to obtain enough valid signatures to make it onto the ballot. The policemen’s union just wasted a lot of cash. link to a PDF of the full statement: https://www.portland.gov/sites/default/files/2026/FAQ-re1PDX2026.pdf

@catsalad@infosec.exchange Okay one more. I don't mean to inundate you with good news. "Copenhagen’s city government reported in early July that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 and 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety and comfort of cycling." #BikeTooter https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2019-08-07/copenhagen-has-taken-bicycle-commuting-to-a-new-level
Copenhagen has taken bicycle commuting to a whole new level
Los Angeles Times

Copenhagen has taken bicycle commuting to a whole new level

Cycling has been a part of that good life in Copenhagen for decades. In recent years, it has enjoyed yet another unfathomable surge in popularity — taken to the next level thanks to constantly improving bike lanes coupled with fears of climate change.

#PDX Local lawyer has video of signature gatherers for the ballot measure to redirect 25% of the Portland Clean Energy Fund to the cops — and they are busted! 'Four of the videos reviewed by The Oregonian/OregonLive show signature gatherers describing the measure as funding “911 dispatchers,” “mental health officers, not police officers” and “Portland Street Response” — even though the actual measure would only fund police officers, not dispatchers, mental health responders or other unarmed staff.' https://www.oregonlive.com/environment/2026/07/undercover-videos-fuel-new-challenge-to-portland-police-funding-initiative.html

I've been a subscriber to Mullvad's VPN service for a few years now. Today I learned that one of Mullvad's two co-owners, Daniel Berntsson, has given the equivalent of ≈$500,000 to the Swedish Örebro Party — a party with a founder-leader of the red-brown type who is on the familiar journey from authoritarian Marxist to authoritarian nationalist. Lately he's been inveighing against "parasites" and advocating "remigration" of immigrants. https://nyadagbladet.se/inrikes/mullvad-grundare-donerade-fem-miljoner-till-orebropartiet/ Mullvad is responding to criticism by saying "Daniel's private donation to a political party is not part of Mullvad's values or mission" but "We also live these values by being tolerant" of their co-workers, and "No matter what their other opinions are and no matter whether the founders or anyone else in Mullvad dislike them." So long as everyone at the company values "freedom of speech, freedom of information and the right to privacy" they don't see a problem. https://corneill.es/@pi_r/116821863509317168 Now I support the right to privacy and freedom of speech even for fascists. I'd object if Mullvad built a backdoor into their service and began scanning and banning people for "hate speech" because that would break the privacy protection for myself and all other users also. I'm sure many of us have a co-worker or two whose opinions we find objectionable, but who is otherwise competent and we just try to work with. But Berntsson is an *owner*. He's apparently getting quite wealthy off my subscription. And he's using that wealth to finance a racist political party. That bothers me. So, just like with Musk and Bezos, I'm going use my freedom of association to end my relationship with Mullvad. And I'm using my freedom of expression to tell them, and you all, about it. #Mullvad @mullvad@mastodon.social

#Oregon #PDX Governor Kotek's Oregon Prosperity Council has come out with a report that decries the State's tax "burden on middle-income households".

But then, for the "next Oregon legislative session, the prosperity council proposes:

  • reinstating a tax cut for wealthy investors which delivers 94% of all tax benefits to people making over $1 million in income a year;
  • weakening Oregon’s only tax on the wealthy, the estate tax, which only the richest 5% of Oregon estates pay;
  • weakening the Corporate Activities Tax;
  • expanding a tax subsidy for corporations."

@micchiato Similar thing happened during the Iraq war. The Irish government was similarly violating their neutrality policy by allowing the US military use of Shannon. In 2003, five members of the Catholic Worker movement broke into a hangar there, and set upon a US navy plane. They smashed it up good with hammers. They were arrested but a jury acquitted them for being righteous. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitstop_Ploughshares?wprov=sfti1

#PDX Statement of Portland City Councilor for District 3 Tiffany Koyama Lane from Instagram on the Moda Center secret negotiations: Moda Center at the Rose Quarter Public money deserves pubIic accountability! This means transparency in the process. I was invited to be a part of a newly formed group of councilors tasked with leading the City Council’s engagement in discussion of the Moda Center deal, but we have been asked to sign an NDA – a non-disclosure agreement, a legally binding contract of confidentially meant to keep information from being disclosed to the public. Transparency is one of my personal values and promises to my constituents. It is also one of the City of Portland’s stated core values, which include transparency and integrity, with “no hidden agenda” according to the City website (portland.gov/bhr/city-core-values) As a public official, charged with serving the public, my goal is to get the City a good deal while making the process transparent to the people. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! https://www.instagram.com/p/DXZ1YtZDQvH/

Nationalism recognizes nationalism as a mirror image and a comrade.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz with an article about recently declassified Israeli intelligence files on contacts between some pre-state Zionist militias and Nazi Germany.

"Natan Friedman, later known as Natan Yellin-Mor and a future member of the Knesset, wrote in 1943: 'Germany has not yet been defeated and may still become our ally.'"
