We knew this was coming, but now the clock is running. From Privacy International:

"Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP)."

"If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. They’re also proposing the collection of DNA."

PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements:

-All visitors must submit ‘their social media from the last 5 years’

-ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include ‘high value data fields’, ‘when feasible’
‘telephone numbers used in the last five years’
-‘email addresses used in the last ten years’
-‘family number telephone numbers (sic) used in the last five years’
-biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
-business telephone numbers used in the last five years
-business email addresses used in the last ten years.

The Federal Register entry says comments are encouraged and
must be submitted (no later than February 9, 2026) to be assured of consideration.

EMERGENCY #MUTUALAID - get blind wheelchair user back into assisted living

The good news—we reached the halfway point!!

The bad news—it's taken 7 weeks to get this far and we have only FIVE DAYS left.

We need a huge push to get Aurora over the line. She is NOT safe if she ends up out on the street again, y'all.

Winter has come,With it, our suffering inside the cold tent has doubled The cold is bitter, and nothing protects us from it. We are living through difficult days, in need of the simplest winter essentials: Blankets, mattresses, floor covers, socks, shoes, warm clothes, gloves, scarves Even going to school has become painful for my children without protection from this harsh cold weather is unbearable, and our bodies are freezing! Please, we urgently need your help

@Yehuda@turtleisland.social as an outsider (hi from austria!), it really bothers me that i almost exclusively heard about the two clearly white folks on the list. i am paying the wrong kind of attention, it seems.

There is no power, no heating, and no water in my parents' apartment after the latest russian strikes on Kharkiv. The internet is also not working well, we barely managed to talk.

Our tent is worn out and tattered; it no longer protects us from the cold or the rain. We try to live in it despite our exhaustion, but its condition has become dangerous. For your sake and to keep going, we need just $300 to repair it. Any help—even a little—would make a huge difference. Please don't leave us alone.

🌈 vanta rainbow black: queen of the #plushtodon tag 🌈
@vantablack@cyberpunk.lol

please boost!!!

hey there! it's this kitty, vanta rainbow black, fedi's favorite trans punk catgirl instance admin

we're gonna be moving soon! so right now this one needs an indeterminable amount of money for moving expenses (boxes, suitcases, potentially some length of motel stay, etc.) as well as $120 for groceries and $60 for medical cannabis

do you enjoy the work it's done organizing a mass-defederation of meta's threads with FediPact? are you hype in the pipe for the fedi memoir whose 52k word rough draft it recently finished? do you like the rad cybersyndicate instances it set up? the cool clothes it DIY's together? its pirate radio station, vantaradio? its awesome videos? its amazing selfies? its community movie nights? its posting generally? its publishing platform, the rainbow report? or just wanna give someone in need a nice helping hand?

well this kitten is an impoverished neurodivergent disabled unemployed trans woman just trying to survive so if you wanna support it anything helps it keep being able to do all those cool thingies!!!

sure would be wild if a bunch of datacenter people at Amazon just turned off the power and left early on the 30th or 29th of this month

what a wild ass random thing that would be
