Daniel DiDonato, 18, drafted new state senate districts at home on free software – and a judge picked his map ahead of professionals’ efforts to remedy voting rights violations
democracydocket.com/news-alert… The fascists have limited resources to consolidate power in the remaining free US states right now. They want states to make it easy for them to kick down doors and continue terrorizing, disappearing, and murdering good Minnesotan citizens for no reason other than to act on their indoctrination and training over 12 years of public education to remain loyal to the nation and continue to vote their conscience in free elections.
The fascists aren't fucking around. Lots of Minnesota soccer moms, my fellow good citizens bless them, are learning this right now in their volunteer civic training and on the street.
The Big Beautiful Bill provides the funds and institutions for the fascists to build the necessary human transportation networks, the slums to concentrate the overflow of good, decent, everyday folks who voted a certain way, and the work camps, death camps, and battlefields where they will be transported to and exterminated.
The fascists will use voter rolls obtained via violent coercion or flat out theft to decide who best to terrorize, who to disappear, who to murder first. Once the people on the list are taken care of the fascists will continue to terrorize, disappear, and murder us - at will, without provocation, without justification.
Regardless of whether it stays non-violent or turns into a pointless war of attrition (that no one except the very few fascists in power want) plan for terror, plan for detention, plan for death, in fact, expect it. When it happens to one of yours you will be as ready as you can be to set aside emotional paralysis, follow your training to do the right thing which includes setting aside time to morn.
And that my fellow humans of the world, is this tiny insignificant laborer and Minnesotan nobody's current take on what's going on outside, right now.

Starting today I'm using my Wafrn more, but it won't completely replace this place. At the very least, this will still be my blog, at least unless I find a better platform for that. Oh, and following pod people (Disapora users), at least until they move to something ActivityPub. And RSS feeds.
So, what does Wafrn lack that Friendica has? Categories, useful as I can share links to just part of my blog here Diaspora compatibility Feed reader, this is one of the neatest features here, they show up in your timeline just like anyone else you follow Hashtag auto complete/suggestion, kinda useful so we don't wind up with a thousand variations on the same thing Link display in post creation window, if you paste a link into the creation box on Friendica or Mastodon, it displays the summary so you can see what the post will look like, Wafrn, you have to wait until your post is on your dashboard No following or followers list
What's it missing that I want? Queue function like Tumblr, something that Friendica has made clear they see no point in An easy way to share internet links. This one isn't on Wafrn, for Friendica and Mastodon I use an extension on Firefox, I think this is a fork, of the older FediShare extension, and this one I don't think is supported as it seems to be a bit out of date on what services it supports. It'd be nice to see someone take over it and maintain it as its useful for sharing things.
Other bugs/glitches? Relatively minor stuff, tried to upload a video that was possibly too big and got no error, just no video attached to the post. If you search for someone then follow them, the page doesn't refresh the button status, the follow button doesn't become an unfollow, rather it stays a follow button
Seriously, that's a long list of nitpicks really, and like stuff @gabboman the wafrn dev will likely fix as time goes on since Wafrn is young, and none are a deal breaker. I'll prolly switch to hosted Wafrn instant at some point in the future, just have to figure out costs and what I want to do with this place.
@gabboman the wafrn dev I can imagine, not even to a full version yet, right? I figured none of that stuff has any chance of happening any time soon, but hey, a pup can wish, right? And the Fedishare extension thing is kinda unrelated, though it does annoy me that that extension isn't maintained considering how little maintenance it'd need.
Not sure if'n it'd help with either the Diaspora or the RSS feed thing, but IIRC, the original developer of Friendica created a library of modules to be used in Fediverse apps on GitHub, SocialHome and one other use some of the bits.
As to the list, I think it depends on goals, want to stand out, consider the queue function, prolly fairly easy thing to add, and useful as its main purpose is flood control. Bring it up to Mastodon/et al features, add some manner of follower/followers management and/or fix the hashtag thing. Want to kill Diaspora? Add compatibility.
Really this is a wish list, and if'n any of it happens, cool, if not, oh well, just impacts what will be my main Fediverse app
Yep, another idiotic meltdown, even dumber because as commenters point out, Smithfield has controlled the Nathans brand for over a decade, they're simply shifting from licensing to owning.
Saturday morning marked the third shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis this month. “How many more Americans need to die for this operation to end?” said Mayor Jacob Frey.
Yeah, I know, seems to be every day I post about my misadventures with Fediverse software, right? Seriously though, somethings are moving really fast...
#holos just released 17-1, that's like five versions in less than a month, and Federation finally works, yay... And we seem to have a new problem, I seem to have followed a few new people without following them, that's a weird new glitch @Holos Social Still, it otherwise works great, extremely fast to update, in fact the biggest problem is with my phone which seems to go to sleep when the screen goes off, and all notifications stop, obviously a problem here. Beyond that, its really me, while I do the occasional message from my phone, I'm an old grey muzzle, and prefer to leave the net on my computer, so I don't think I'll be sticking around, maybe to the end of the month, maybe less, but if'n you're the type that does most things from your phone, give this one a look, its a really neat project, a really good alternative to Mastodon.
#Loops , maybe it'll work, I really wish it would.
#wafrn now this one, this one I'm really in love with. Sure, there's a few features I wish it had, and unless I can find a way other than hashtags to sort my content, it won't replace this place completely, but it could very easily become my main and replace my #Mastodon . Honestly I think it might kill #diaspora , don't get me wrong, I love Diaspora, but I think the lack of #ActivityPub has done it no favors, and Wafrn may be the first viable replacement for it. Either way, for those not familiar with it, its basically the Fediverse's answer to Tumblr, and while it doesn't look quite the same, it looks quite nice, and has some fun features including the ability to bite people.
I looked at #Wafrn and am not quite a fan of them trying to block VPNs or them storing IPs for when you register, send an image, or when you last logged in, presumably to punish VPN users.
Just not crazy about that because using a VPN has become more important than ever.
@Luigi.exe (Dragonheart System) Is that Wafrn the software, or the site? I'm on bark.wolp.chat rather than the original and would switch to my own hosted instance if I decide to move mostly over there.
We only block registration from VPNs because of safety purposes (we have seen so many times that spambots and stuff wants to get in with a VPN), but if you use a VPN after registration (e.g. for posting or viewing posts), it is fine
well, thats for waf.moe, going to cc @admin for this
The US Department of Justice has slashed funding and training resources for law enforcement working on investigations and prosecutions of #SexCrimes against children under the #Trump administration, which limits their ability to carry out this work.
The sweeping cuts, enacted soon after Donald #Trump began his second term as US president, are putting vulnerable #children at risk and impeding efforts to bring child #predators to justice, according to four prosecutors and law enforcement officers specializing in cases of child #sexual #exploitation, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

Declare ICE a terrorist group, and arrest them all on sight.
