There's so much going on that I can't post disapproving posts for every single thing. So here's just one blanket one.
It's all wrong. You know, everything. All of it. Not just in the US, but it's happening, or starting to, everywhere. The rule of law is abandoned and people are shipped off to uncontrolled foreign prisons. People's right to be who they are is removed. Institutions to help and better other people are disbanded.
We need to get back to caring about other people. Care about the next generation's ability to get educated. No matter the skin colour, no matter the social class, care about whether people can buy food. Care about people getting a fair trial. Care about people whether they are your gender or not, or have the gender you think they have, or even have a gender.
Care about other people, no matter what kind of 'other' they are.

Hi, when I follow someone I usually do this from multiple accounts, with different servers and platforms. This is partially as backup. It’s also because different software has different features. E.g. at the moment of writing I mainly post from my Friendica server, but it doesn’t yet support polls, or account migrations. So I also follow from my Pleroma server, which does notify me someone has migrated.
I also sometimes use platforms that support nomadic identity, that allows my channels on multiple servers to be synced. From software that doesn’t support that, a follow request looks like multiple separate requests from those channels.

"Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too)."

A US judge on Monday ordered #Trump administration officials to explain whether the administration violated his order when they deported hundreds of *alleged* Venezuelan gang members over the weekend & potentially set up a constitutional clash between the president & the federal #judiciary.

Judge James Boasberg in Washington set a hearing for 5PM ET (2000 GMT) on Mon & instructed the govt to provide details on whether the flights that transported the #Venezuelans to #ElSalvador took off after his order or were in the air at the time.
#Constitution #14thAmendment #5thAmendment #DueProcess #immigration
The hearing was scheduled in response to an overnight filing by the ACLU & other advocates seeking clarity on the flights.
The rapid developments represent a potential escalation in #Trump's challenge to the US #Constitution's system of #ChecksAndBalances & the #independence of the #JudicialBranch of govt.
At an emergency hearing on Sat requested…Boasberg issued a 2wk temporary block on Trump's use of the #AlienEnemiesAct of 1798 to deport 238 alleged members of Tren de Aragua….
#law
The judge said in court that any flights already en route should return to the #US. His written order following the hearing appeared in the court's online docket at 7:26PM ET….
WH press sec Karoline Leavitt issued a stmnt on Sun denying the #Trump admin had violated Boasberg's order, while also questioning his #power to issue it:
"A single judge in a single city cannot direct the movements of an aircraft ... full of foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from US soil.”
#law
The flights suggest the #Trump admin may be growing more brazen in its defiance of judicial restraint. The #US #Constitution established the #judiciary as a co-#equal & #independent branch of government.
Trump has sought to *push* [illegally expand] the boundaries of #ExecutivePower since taking office in Jan, cutting spending authorized by #Congress, dismantling #FederalAgencies & firing tens of thousands of #FederalWorkers.
On Mon, #Trump's border czar, #TomHoman, said the flights were already in international airspace when the judge's orders came & that more flights would continue.
"Once you're outside the border, you know, it is what it is. But they're in international waters, already on the way south, close to landing. You know what? ... We did what we had to do," he told FauxNews…. [The law applied to the admin’s actions who were not in international jurisdiction; idiot.]
Asked what was next, #TomHoman said: "Another flight, another flight every day."
"We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think," he added.
With the #Republican-controlled #Congress largely backing his agenda, federal judges have often been the only constraint on #Trump, putting many actions hold while they consider their legality. In several cases, the admin has refused to comply w/judicial orders.

Non sequitur
What was the legal jurisdiction / flag those planes were flying under?
A cruise ship under N'th flag, is under N'th legal territory, regardless of where on the planet it is.
It's why they check your passport at San Diego when you board a Norwegian flagged ship to go spend 3 days in Oregon. You step out of California, into Norway, even when that boat is still tied to the docks.
Does ICAO need to have a chat, using crayons, with Bondi?
The planes were all labeled airline GlobalX flights (Global Crossing Airlines is an American charter airline). There were only three GlobalX arrivals to El Salvador’s international airport on March 15 & 16, according to the flight tracking site FlightRadar24.
First flight tail number: N278GX
Second flight tail number: N837VA
Third flight tail number: N630VA

This is an interesting concept. That maybe when you as a content creator, or any other creative person, feel like you're stuck in a rut and don't know what too create next, maybe you're too stuck in your own head. Maybe you need to allow yourself to be inspired by others. Read a book. Listen to music.

Another thing I'm thinking when watching her channel: why is she so worried about viewing numbers? She doesn't need viewing numbers to be an interesting channel, she already is. Ok, so only 816 people watched her previous video. I'm one of them. And I liked it. And even if nobody watches them, who cares, they're still interesting and worthy videos.
Sometimes I post photos on Instagram. I like taking them. The new analytics on Instagram show that these reach between 2 and 5 accounts. So I've long given up doing that for the numbers. I just like taking them and knowing they're out there or somewhere.
Google are breaking my mittens - Sonofa. Twelve years ago I knitted a pair of “self-replicating mittens” (web-goddess.org/archive/14046) with a QR code that pointed you to the pattern for the mittens, and I entered them in the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I was pretty proud of my cleverness. In the blog post (web-goddess.org/archive/11192) where I talked about making the mittens, I said:
I wanted my code to be as simple as possible, so I needed to use a URL shortener to mask my intended address. I settled on using Google‘s, reasoning that it was likely to be around the longest. (Though who knows these days, right?)
You can guess what’s happened, right? Google URL Shortener links will no longer be available (developers.googleblog.com/en/g…) as of August this year.

Self-Replicating Mittens
After giving a talk on geek knitting in 2012, I was inspired to try my hand at knitting a QR code. The code on these mittens actually scans and points the viewer to the pattern on this page so they can make their own.web-goddess
Was explaining the whole self-hosted/small web movement to someone at work today, and they replied “Oh, so you’re like one of those preppers with a bunker, but digital.”

For those in the Netherlands who follow F1 but don't want to pay a lot of money to Viaplay or F1 TV, and therefore can't see it live: due to a deal signed only yesterday it will be on delayed broadcast, for free, on Ziggo channel 13 (so not the normal channel 14). This means that today's qualifying session is repeated at 20:30 tonight and tomorrow's race at 21:15, tomorrow of course. This may not be in your tv guides yet.
The usual summary broadcasts on Ziggo Sport and NPO 1 have been cancelled for this year.

Got a notification from my NAS, saying it's running low on disk space. It says it has only 3.5 TB left.
(Yet weirdly Windows also refuses to copy all of today's photos onto it, saying I need to free another 10GB.)
There's a mismatch of disk sizes, though. Come to think of it, that disparity is about 3.5 TB.

Upgraded my Pleroma to version 2.9.0, that came just out today. Or actually yesterday by now, because it took longer than expected. Maybe I missed some versions, but for me the upgrade was not as simple as suggested.
In this version I also needed to upgrade to a newer Elixir version. And there were also some migrations still to run. Upgrading Elixir turned out to not be possible on an old Debian server, so I needed to switch over to using asdf to get the newer version; but that doesn't work nicely with the systemd service file... I have to figure a better solution for that later, it is late, now I have just hardcoded the paths.

Nils makes a valid point.

They proactively undermine them.
Because the DNC is owned by the same people who own the GOP. Billionaires.

The story linked had nothing to do with some past grievance that some older people seem to still have with the DNC. It is not “finally Bernie will take over and show those mean old Dems!”
It is a feel-good story of people joining together to fight Trump. And yet I see all the pointless division added in by these comments. To me that feels like a crappy thing to do in this moment.
Read my initial comment. All it asked for was for people to pull together, and I got so much negativity for it!

Read in my newspaper this week:
When Obama won his first term, the Republicans were in the same kind of inner turmoil as the Democrats are now. "What did we do wrong" turning into "who's to blame" and then the Tea Party emerged.
I like Bernie and AOC, I see them as *normal*, good social-democrats, the kind we have here in Europe. Whereas in the US, "liberal" is a swear word and red scare is never far away.

The Americans on this thread can at least agree that we need to come together in this moment, and leave inter-party squabbles in the past.
Those outside the US seem to think differently. I assume you all have good intentions, but it occurs to me that our different systems of government are causing you some confusion.
In the parliamentary system, if you have a far-left party, you can vote for them. They might win a few seats, and those representatives will form a coalition government with the more moderate left party. More far-left seats means those ideas get a bigger voice in the coalition.
In the US, that’s not an option. There are two options. Period. So turning Democrats against each other is harmful to the country, as it empowers the Republicans, who have turned into the party of Nazis.
Tariq
in reply to SouprMatt • • •@mls14 @efialto @nilsskirnir
You are confidently wrong.
Voting for the democrats as they are will not improve the situation overall.
There is no incentive for them to change.
So different action needs to be taken.
It could be mass denial of vote and support for new political movements - which won't produce a new gov soon, but neither will voting Dem.
Or it could be tough action on the Dems to clean them out.
There is no option that avoids a trump government in the short term.

Guys like Schumer consistently side with Republicans, guys like Bernie Sanders and AOC have consistently sided with the working class, but it is Sanders, AOC, and their ilk who are most often attacked as “sewing discord,” especially in the mainstream media.
So I embrace inner-party squabbles, and more than squabbles, an all-out war between people who represent the working class and people who represent the oligarchs. If we can’t purge the Democratic party of pro-oligarchy candidates like Chuck Schumer, and also people like Joe Biden, the Clintons,

A lot of people in the US[1] have been convinced that protest is useless.
In fact, our mass movements have repeatedly been sabotaged from without and within. See Occupy.
The "politics as usual" for the last 50 years has been pretty uninspiring. I know people on the Internet hate "both sides" arguments, but they do hold some water. Yes, both sides are bad, and one side is orders of magnitude worse. Which is why I voted for Harris-Walz. Nevertheless, we wouldn't be where we are without Democrats enabling Republicans, since they answer to the same donor class, rather than the people. Bernie and AOC are trying to do something about this.
Our complex of government and corporations has succeeded wildly with bread and circuses and divide and rule. Though more and more of the bread is being taken away, and the circuses are more and more expensive. Divide and rule is still in full swing. Between these two strategies of the ruling class, people are kept off the street unless the problem directly affects them.

When US citizens do get out in the streets en masse, I expect that it will be violent. As H. Rap Brown said, "Violence is as American as apple pie." If the military is used against the populace, I'd note that the US military is historically very bad at maintaining an occupation. See Iraq, see Vietnam.
