Minnesota organizers want us to help turn up the heat on the state's biggest regime-friendly corporations. Contact Target, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot, and Delta Airlines to demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD: http://iceoutforgood.org/#corporations
To be crystal clear, by the way, disciplined nonviolent protest can be extremely effective. But if the state has already decided to terrorize you, they aren't going to let nonviolence stop them
It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.
Something to have in your back pocket when people tell you to be docile, so you don't give them "an excuse"

I knew my website was going to pay off!
@willhbr and how good was the bonus? I can't check the QR code it myself since I'm in the mobile.
in una elezione in Texas I repubblicani sono passati da ÷17 a -14!!
A Democrat won a state legislative special election in a district that President Trump carried by 17 percentage points, unnerving Republicans in Texas and beyond.

I spent a lot of time today sitting on a gorgeous beach near Auckland. (Was I stewing about how fucking stupid SpaceX is the whole time? Yes, yes I was. See my previous post if you don't know why.)
Tomorrow I pick up a rental car and start the Beatrice Tinsley lecture tour portion of the #ProfSamLectureTour. I'll have some extra fire for these lectures because SpaceX sucks. More immediately, wish me luck driving on the opposite side of the road tomorrow!

@Tusky There seems to be a font change in this version, and for the worse 🙁
White people did not start protesting because ICE murdered Good and Pretti.

An app that purports to help people stop consuming pornography has exposed highly sensitive data, including its users’ masturbation habits.

@404mediaco Who could have seen this coming?
I wish I could unlearn this.
And one other reason.....
Und hier sind die Lösungen, die @benpate vorschlägt.
Wie kann der gemeinsame Kern aussehen, der all die verschiedenen App miteinander verbinden. Ein gemeinsamer Kern. Das ist die Idee hinter Emissary.

"So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein."

HOLY SHIT! i knew there was some serious dark money behind #4Chan. i’ve suspected forever Gay Hitler was one of m00t’s sugardaddies, but #JeffreyEpstein feels even more on point.
have often said /pol/ reminded me of my cop grandfather talking shit with his cop buddies. that Anonymous ―which "sprung" from 4Chan― could only happen because cops were involved.
which clarifies Epstein’s real job: developing the social infrastructure needed to organize the fascist 1% into a global movement
@blogdiva when “Pizzagate was an op to redirect attention from the actual elite child trafficking ring” is something that can actually be seriously considered at this point, I just
Him: if we magically got rid of any ethical, practical and moral issues and you could have any wild animal as a pet what would it be?
Me: oh definitely a few giant isopods
Him: what? They live in the ocean.
Me: you let Jessi say dolphins
Him: but people keep dolphins in captivity
Me: not ethically
Him: no but I said no ethical issues or practical issues exist in this hypothetical because magic

...hey, "no practical limitations" means they don't have to exist
The hackers had to be "bread in" to the operational details since everything was on a "knead to know" basis.
But they rose to the occasion - it was the yeast they could dough. Things were touch and go until they got on a roll - they'll do butter next time...

Danger kitty has a question
@catsalad My nephew was grabbed by the neck and dragged away by a mountain lion. He lived. This is not a joke, but an anecdote. They don't normally attack humans (even small humans) unless cornered, however it was during a particularly bad drought in California so prey animals had become scarce. The authorities sadly had to find and euthanize the animal and it was very scrawny, it probably hadn't eaten in weeks. Poor kitty, and poor small human.
Our free stickers went like hot cakes yesterday at #FOSDEM. The new "My friends are not for sale" ones are all gone, they were an experimental last-minute print of a new design (which is coming soon as a t-shirt, by the way!). The less stuff for us to carry back home, the better. I wish people would grab the leaflets too!
I'm hoping that general strikes turn out to be kind of addictive. That people start wanting to take them more and more often. That they become a regular part of the life of the American worker. Maybe starting with once a month. Then twice a month. Etc.
What do you think?
@Camille_Poulsard consternation ! (et merci pour le partage)
Je me demande si c'est juste encore une fois une mesurette suite à un fait divers pour afficher ses actions ou si c'est purement motivé par des lieux communs sur les vélos pour éviter des mesures adaptation de l'espace public.
Ou les deux....
Oui, consternation !
