At least 15 vehicles allegedly belonging to ICE were painted with “ICE” to alert community members in Eagan, MN

CBS isn't the only so-called journalism outlet that routinely does stenography for the completely dishonest Trump regime, but it was particularly disgusting in its blatantly bogus report after an ICE thug's murder of Renee Good.

As you would now expect from CBS "News" --

Lang’s rally will begin in downtown Minneapolis at city hall, starting with a rally followed by a march to the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, home to a large population of Somalis.

Following the ICE murder of Renee Good and an assault on the state by federal immigration forces, a labor-community coalition is calling for residents to refuse to work, shop or go to school on January 23. We stand with folks refusing to work in Minnesota, and everywhere else.

If your whole business model is theft, you cannot survive on your own.

We can.

We will outlast you & your death urges & we will build something better & in some measure, it will be built upon the model of our first attempts, the ones that showed it was possible.

#FuckAI & all its enablers.

ok, I woke up with another reason why this wikipedia sell out has me so angry...

I've long held up gifting economy models like wikipedia (and reddit and craigslist and buy nothing) as #Solarpunk In Real Life, here today, manifesting the better world I want to see.

hello all,

Are any of you involved in meet.coop or aware about it being down right now? I'm just looking for ideas about if/when/how we'll be able to use it again.

I searched here a little bit but easily could have missed a thread in case I'm asking a question that's been answered.

Thanks!

I have been using an ultrawide monitor for a while - I got seduced into the idea of "hey, this really big monitor can replace your two monitor setup, you'll use less electricity and it'll save space." And I think both those points are true, but I also think I've lost some utility. Two separate monitors are essentially two separate desktop environments joined together, and that has a lot of advantages with the things I do. What do you think? Two monitors functionally better than one ultrawide?

I got all my Nobel Prizes when the previous winner left a little bit of the next one sticking out of the machine and I kept pulling.

Age verification is spreading like cancer.

First they came for adults site and social media; now they are already discussing about putting VPNs and app stores behind #AgeVerfication 🇬🇧🇦🇺

What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.

Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.

We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!

There was a small snafu with the Git repository of GTK which required rewriting the history of the main development branch to drop a large file that was committed by mistake; if you have a local clone, you may need to force an update. Nothing else should have changed, and the latest commit is: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/fa4998735c56dfa538cde7211aa2d60e6ef6c8c1

TIL: The earliest use of the word "terrorism" identified by the Oxford English Dictionary is a 1795 reference to tyrannical state behavior, the "reign of terrorism" in France."

The term was coined to describe the actions of the state during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, where agents of the Committee of Public Safety, referred to as "Terrorists," enforced the government's policies with violence against perceived enemies.

people seem to be mightily riled up by the idea that an awful person received the Nobel Peace Prize, and this confuses me because they gave it to Henry fucking Kissenger. as if that prize had the slightest semblance of meaning remaining.

Update. Two welcome developments on recording #ICE:

1. "Gov. Tim Walz encourages Minnesotans to film ICE agents for future prosecutions."

Just FYI for all of you that used Interrail: looks like they had a breach including customer and reservation info. They also apparently took down the Ticket Inspection API during investigation today which apparently caused some issues in the UK, because UK apps still cannot actually read the barcodes properly...
