Unapologetic Tawk

When my colleague @maxrn.bsky.social discovered fmr NYC Mayor Eric Adams had been hired to convince Wisconsin residents to allow a 150MW data center to be built at the site of an old paper mill, we had MANY questions. So Max headed to Wisconsin Rapids to answer them. His delightful dispatch here:

Every time you view or like a post or take most actions on Bluesky or Blacksky your requests go through your Personal Data Server (PDS). It’s also the home of all your data. To date, we’ve used other people’s software to run Blacksky’s fleet of PDS. In the next week we’ll be migrating to our own.

@rude1.blacksky.team speaking on Black August and Blacksky 🔥🔥🔥

A little background on Black August and Blacksky from @rude1.blacksky.team 🤎

100+ arrests with no convictions is unfathomable to me but it really shouldn’t be.

100 arrests without a conviction? I told y'all two things were true: 1) No immigrant has been stopped by ICE more times than I've been stopped by cops for driving/existing while Black. 2) I'm not even in the top 10% of innocent Black men frequently stopped by cops. My experience is not unique.🤷🏿‍♂️

@rellyrebel.bsky.social spoke on 2 Black August events in Bedstuy yday 1. Liberation In Conversation at Gladys Books & Wine w Maurice Mitchell & Troy Blackwell. 2. screening of The Alabama Solution at Make Manifest BK w Darren Mack, Alex Duran, and Richard Beavers @rude1.blacksky.team came through
