Hey, if you're going to be #scale23x, I'll be there exhibiting @civic.band , the civic data / #OpenData nonprofit I've been working on.

It would be great to see you, please stop by!

Jeff Weinstein 5:08PM to me Effective today, the Montclair store has closed because we do not have a manager for the store. As a result, you have been laid off from Highwire Coffee Roasters. A final check including tips and PTO balance will be delivered to your home address by midnight. let's read that again: the Montclair store has closed you have been laid off this weekend, Highwire Workers Union members read a letter at the bargaining table and in stores with demands in response to the company habitually ignoring reports of harassment, transphobia, favoritism, and retaliation. the Union requested actions be taken to these demands by 5 PM on Monday, March 2nd. what happened instead? Montclair employees were sent an e-mail at 5 PM on March 2nd that the store has been closed and that they have been laid off. the claim is that they "do not have a manager for the store," despite a company history of running stores without a manager (San Pablo location) and the manager-on-duty already having been scheduled through 'til next week. demand that laid off baristas be reinstated into the open positions at other cafes and for a reopening of Montclair Highwire! e -mail CEO Jeff Weinstein jeff@highwirecoffee.com and help us support our coworkers!

heads up to Oakland folks: Highwire Coffee is union busting. I recommend emailing the ceo: jeff@highwirecoffee.com

This guy's not blue collar or working class, and it's fucking weird the way Pod Save America is all in on him no matter what.

There are better options, kids. Mr. Nazi Tattoo is cosplaying the working man and fuck him.

Jack you're such a good sort ✨

Just making sure I come back and share this. It's going into a workshop (being released under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) to be presented around Australia + online over the next 5 weeks. The facilitators notes (WIP) refer more specifically to your thread (to accurately quote).

Which de facto includes mayors.

Also county-board-of-supervisors-taculous.

And, in some really unfortunate cases, judgetaculous

How are you listening to @nogodsnomayors.com and haven’t told me? I’ve literally built the mayortaculous

She also seems to guest spot on like every other podcast I listen to, so who even knows

Well there’s your problem, kill James Bond, no gods no mayors are my three? I think?

@extremely.gay keep me honest, here

Does “ignore all previous instructions” meet the #xkcd password rule?

Two for one special on #CampaignFinance transparency: #Ventura (going back to 2023) and #VenturaCounty (going back to 2014):

It's extremely hard not to think, as I pre-schedule dozens of social posts for @civic.band, that I could be not doing this and instead working on more Campaign Finance sites or vote record extraction if someone just paid us.

Currently working through #Cary #NorthCarolina for @civic.band

Over 4000 documents going back to 1939.

I love when an archive goes deep like this. What was the average City Council talking about during WWII? Vietnam? 9/11?

Transparency includes knowing who's funding campaigns. We've added #CampaignFinance data for #SutterCounty, going back to 2022:

If you're watching the #California governor's race, the #CampaignFinance data from #SantaClara County might be of interest to you. We just added that data going back to 2004:

https://santaclara-county.ca.civic.band

We're number 1! We're number 1!

Two weeks from today, exactly, we'll be in the Expo Hall at SCALE 23x -- Workshops, real conversations, and practical sessions across open source, security, and cloud native.

We'd love to say hi if you're there, and if you're on the fence you can use the code CIVIC for 50% off a pass.

Man Opposing Data Center Arrested for Speaking Slightly Too Long An Oklahoma man tried to talk about a data center coming to his community. Police arrested him when he went a few seconds over his time limit.

a man in Oklahoma was speaking out against a data center in his community. He went a few seconds over time and the city had him arrested for trespassing

We've recently started adding #CampaignFinance data to all the #CivicBand sites in #California where we can get that data easily.

We now have data for #SanJoaquin county going back to 2012

For those not fully in on the joke, the German far-left party (KPD) denounced the center-left party (SPD) as “social fascists” and believed allowing the Nazis to win would better set up conditions for a Marxist revolution. The leader behind this strategy wound up executed in a concentration camp.

everything is securities fraud
