At least eight ICE thugs chase down one guy who was just trying to deliver food in Chicago.
This is your tax dollars at work.
These bullies get six figure salaries to hunt down people in the streets.
To kidnap and disappear them.
It’s not about crime. It’s about power and fear.
That’s why there’s so many of them.
I’m glad this guy got away, but so many others don’t.
Many won’t survive.
IT'S FINALLY POSTED. If you've ever wondered

The San Francisco Police Department is the latest California law enforcement agency to get caught sharing automated license plate reader data with out-of-state and federal agencies. EFF and the ACLU of Northern California are calling them out for this direct violation of California law. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/09/eff-aclu-sfpd-stop-illegally-sharing-data-ice-and-anti-abortion-states
I had a great time at #LinuxDayAT, a nice, well organized Linux Day with two talks (in German) on #LinuxMobile. It was nice to meet some #MobileLinux coconspirators again and get to know some new ones!
I also enjoyed @kuleszdl's talk a lot - I hope that it leads some people into our little #LinuxMobile rabbit hole ;-)
I took some more pictures on my Librem 5 - if there's interest I'll happily share some.
(Sidenote, regarding the journey: Getting to see Lake Constance is always a treat!)

There have been over 190 internet shutdowns, in countries in Africa, between 2016 and 2024
These shutdowns – ordered mostly by governments and implemented by internet service providers – are often used to crack down on peaceful protests or political opposition. Researchers warn of the risk of internet shutdowns being used to reinforce authoritarian control.

"Citizens can still vote, but the range of options available to them has shrunk. Almost all politicians repeat that “the markets” demand austerity, deregulation, and fiscal restraint. Democratic choice is neutered by market veto. To use a term familiar to readers of this blog, politics has been reduced to choosing which part of the single transferable party should govern."
