I welcome anyone rousing out of their stupor, no matter how belatedly, no matter how reluctantly.
Yes, itโs embarrassing to see it come so late. Yes, I have the urge to make a sarcastic jab. But I just say, โYes, you are correct. Welcome.โ
Donโt punish the behavior you want to see.
Meowing at the snow doesn't do anything! It just means there is snow and sleet and it's also LOUD in here.
I put another shelf above the heat register, but below another shelf. I draped a small throw over the top one to help capture the heat. Shorty isn't adventurous enough to try it but the duo are very pleased.

A couple more simple ways to help push back against ICE's reign of terror:
Call your congresscritters! The DHS appropriations bill has passed the House and is heading to the Senate this week, so for your senators be sure to emphasize defunding ICE.

The Rebirth of Pennsylvania's Infamous Burning Town

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents โfive shots, 7 holesโ.
Silverio Villegas Gonzรกlez was an undocumented immigrant who was shot and killed at close range while allegedly trying to flee.
He was dragged from his vehicle at a traffic stop after dropping his children off at school.
The bullet went through the back of his neck.
Keith Porter was shot and killed by an off duty ICE officer on New Years Eve in LA.
The officer alleges Porter pulled a weapon on him but the family and other witnesses deny that.
Renee Nicole Good was shot three times by an ICE agent who called her a โf*cking b*tchโ after.
ICE claims she was using her vehicle as a weapon despite multiple videos showing she was trying to drive away from the agent.
2 of the 3 shots were through driver side door.
The ICE agent shot her through her windshield, moved out of the way of the vehicle and kept shooting.
He was in no danger. But he didnโt stop shooting until he got the kill shot.
Independent autopsy confirms it was through her left temple and out the right side of her skull.
Thereโs been so much documented abuse of power.
In addition to the shootings we have Liam Ramos, a five year old child who was used as bait and then taken by masked agents and sent from Minnesota to Texas.
Thereโs Geraldo Campos who was choked to death in an ICE camp in Texas.
The medical examiner officially ruled his death a homicide, and DHS moved to deport the witnesses!
Chaofeng Ge was found hanging in ICE custody.
They ruled it a suicide despite his arms and legs being tied behind his back.
Randall Gamboa Esquivel was in perfect health when detained by ICE.
He disappeared while in custody.
By the time his family located him, he was in a persistent vegetative state.
They deported him to Costa Rica and he died soon after.
David Courvelle worked as a detention officer in an ICE facility in Louisiana.
He sexually assaulted a Nicaraguan detainee for three months, forcing other detainees to keep watch while he abused her.
Silvia Reyna Mendoza, a mother of 8 who had been in the US for 40 years, was sexually harassed by an ICE contractor.
He reportedly would tell her if she was good to him, he would be good to her.
When she reported the harassment she was immediately detained.
Bayron Rovidio Marin had his leg broken during an ICE raid in LA.
He was then held in the hospital under a fake name so no one could find him.
He was chained to a hospital bed for 37 days until a court ordered his release.
Thereโs Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee whoโs been in ICE custody for almost a year.
He was only two days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when they grabbed him.
Heโs being denied his prosthetics, heโs been placed in solitary and his health is declining
Now thereโs Alex Pretti, another US citizen shot and killed in broad daylight.
These are not just a few random incidents.
Itโs not a few โbad applesโ.
Itโs a systemic problem.
These agents have been allowed to hide their identities, filled with hateful rhetoric and told they have immunity.
People are being abused, assaulted and killed by ICE.
This isnโt about immigration or crime, itโs about control & creating fear.
Itโs tyranny and no one is safe under tyranny.
The scariest part is these are only the cases we know about.
At least 1,200 people are missing from Alligator Alcatraz.
Elected officials are regularly denied access into the camps.
We have to assume we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
Abolish ICE.
Close the camps.
Keep witnessing and speaking out.
RE: https://infosec.exchange/@ryanc/115957266131783435
in the zpool. straight up "statusing it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. tank
When the government does exactly the same thing seventeen days later despite the global outcry
When they immediately label the victim an assassin
When they laud the actual killers as courageous victims
When they make claims that are obviously, clearly, and undisputably contradicted by video evidence
When they obstruct anybody but themselves from investigating the killing
When they have already stated their conclusions about the event without investigation
They're endorsing state murder.
@b0rkJulia Evans folks like 
@jacobjacobian had, I think, a really strong and positive influence on the docs culture there early on, and they're still the docs I compare other docs to (and other docs almost never hold up)
@Jamessocoljames @b0rkJulia Evans We put a huge emphasis on docs from day 1. Our policy has always been that new code canโt be merged unless it includes docs โ weโve held up major features because the docs werenโt done/good. Thatโs a virtuous cycle: good docs attract contributors who value good docs. So yeah itโs super intentional, and always nice to hear from someone that it seems to be working :)

โข 360 pages
โข Paperback ISBN 9781682194263
โข E-book ISBN 9781682194522
>> In a gripping narrative informed by original reporting, Peter Oborne tells how Britainโs Conservative and Labour parties converged to back Israelโs criminal assaultโin the process occupying disturbing common ground with the far right.
>> Rather than challenge this political cartel, British media colluded in its misrepresentationsโฆ as British authorities helped Israel set #Gaza as well as international law aflame, almost everything the public was told about this momentous conflagration was untrueโฆ

Being a marketer shaped my progressive politics more than I expected precisely because of this.
Once you see how much effort is being spent on marketing certain worldviews to you and how much of that can be studied, analyzed, and replicated - you canโt unsee it.
And you see the power thatโs available for all of us to tap into to push back. The same kinds of marketing and communication tactics used against us can be used to amplify science, art, pro-social values, and progressive policy.
The right has been waging a coordinated campaign of swaying public opinion since at least the birth of the Federalist Society and backlash to Roe.
Their legal influence required creating an information and media apparatus that influenced first elite professional networks, then the public at large.
(For a recent example, just look at how much LLMS and AI have been relying on constant marketing and media attention for anyone to believe that these tools are โinevitableโ or even โusefulโ. Their marketing and PR departments work very hard and are very well funded. For a reason.)

โ and hereโs some water to go with your salad
A lesbian love story where two professionals meet through work in a big city, hitting it off, and eventually realising that they also dated long distance, as teenagers, via ICQ, until their parents cut that short, and they lost touch.
They both still remember each other's six-digit ID, and sheepishly admit that they have been using it as their smartphone PIN for years.
Obviously they get married, and live happily ever after.

For my international audience (because i can't believe my #German audience could have missed this).
After the recent #antifascist #antifa demonstations there has been a popularisation of the #antifasticker meme. People from all walks of live appropriate symbols from their lived experience and combine it with the antifascist logo for something amusing. Here are some samples with alt-texts providing a translation/explanation. A thread ๐งต1/10 : #WorkerRights

ICEโs lethal brutality
More white Americans are waking up to what the Black and Brown communities have faced for generationsโ the unjustified, or mostly fabricated, rationale of use of deadly brutality inflicted by so-called law enforcement on American citizens
The โlawlessnessโ in Minnesota rests squarely with ICE and Customs Border Control
