"Imagine having to watch the videos of your son being murdered in the street so you could scream NO, NO, THESE ARE LIES against the disgusting monsters saying it was your child who was there to do murder — and who never informed you of your son’s death at all."

"This should be all the evidence that lawmakers in a position to deny ICE funding need—indeed to abolish this death squad that commits extra-judicial killings in broad daylight with our tax dollars."

"Put simply, the Trump administration’s narrative around the killing of Alex Pretti has collapsed. Administration officials were deployed to defend it on television this morning, but even conservative media was openly skeptical."

Four more days
From The Dunes
Near sunset, and the low light is casting warm tones across the soft rocks and scree at the foot of the mountain.
Close cloud sits atop, catching the last rays of the sun. The quiet lagoon shelters from the worst of the sea and the yellowing grass forms a frame.

Looking out my window I can see some people out shoveling off their steps. I get the logic of doing it in the middle of Toronto's current major snowstorm, but at the same time my mind clearly doesn't work that way (because it thinks they're crazy, it's only going to get more snow).

I keep wondering how many people managed to fully leave #GitHub. (for a nice summary of common reasons to leave check out https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/)
I mean, even if you move your own projects to something like #Codeberg, you’ll still likely have to interact with projects hosted on GitHub. If Musk didn't manage to make everyone abandon Twitter, I'm not sure what are the odds of a mass exodus from GitHub these days.

Ok, time to spend quality time with the family:
People spend billions of dollars ton advertising, normalization, and bullying to try to convince you that hegemony, patriarchy, and oppression are the natural order of things and that we would always ultimately end up here. If there were truly no other options for how to live as a society, would they need to expend so much effort?

"A reminder to the news media: 'conflicting accounts' is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth."

One of the notable aspects of #Mastodon is that even when discussing highly controversial topics -- with rare exceptions -- it's possible to get up in the morning, check your replies, and see a completely civil discussion. Try that on most social media. Good luck.
Why citizen journalism is so vital. If legacy media fail to report on it, there'll be no record at all.
"..ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public, typically defined as resulting in a death or serious...injury. Indeed, we know little about the full extent of ongoing violence from any federal law enforcement agency, in part due to a decades-long legislative failure to establish a compulsory national database on use-of-force incidents."

Neděle: Ruský státní propagandista Sergej Mardan otevřeně přiznal, že cílem ruské armády je vyvolat humanitární katastrofu na Ukrajině a udělat z milionů lidí uprchlíky. Scénář je stále stejný jako v případě migrace z Afriky: Rozbombardovat zemi, dát milióny lidí do pohybu, pomoct jim dostat se do Evropy, vyvolat odpor u populace v cílové zemi a podpořit politický výtlak protiimigračních neboli proruských stran. A bohužel to funguje. Ale děje se i tohle https://www.facebook.com/dnesnaukrajine.cz/posts/pfbid02RGSWEDNYvFKbPiZV9emiYtPJyHPf8uV359vHKLYa7fCYonCZYZn9g3DUo2YdEA1tl:

Where is the line for you?
At which point are you saying "that's enough! I have to stand up against this!" and actually go to a protest against this administration, boycott this company, or delete a social media account?
Where is the line for you to take action?
You don't have to answer here, but you should have an answer to this for yourself.
if reporting on american companies was done the same way it's done on chinese ones
