After Nuremberg, U.S. military policy stated troops have a duty to disobey orders “a man of ordinary sense and understanding would know to be illegal."
"The legacy of Nuremberg is now reflected in the U.S. Manual of Courts-Martial, which states that service members have a duty to disobey an order that “a man of ordinary sense and understanding would know to be illegal.”
To recap: •Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually •Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses •The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45% •Every $1 per hour increase in minimum wage corresponds to a 1% decrease in suicide rates
Blocking these common sense policies to protect 800 billionaires isn’t just fiscally dumb—it’s literally killing us by the hundreds of thousands
we should pass a "Billiotine Act", a revolutionary legislation that cuts excessive wealth. I think such name for a legislation would keep the wealthy in line.
Yes! Lately there have been GOP talking heads describing how subsidies for health insurance goes to people who "do not even get sick during the year the subsidy covers!".
Well guys, that's the way insurance actually works. Imagine if instead of subsidies we just had Medicare for all. That way, if these people didn't get sick, the government wouldn't have to spend the money. Magic!
My parents were Prius owners for years. The dealership was relentless at telling them they needed to trade in after 2-3 years because the batteries would fail. The batteries never did, but my folks did eventually trade in a couple of times. Got newer better versions, so they had that going for them.
ISPs and cellular carriers will no longer be required to meet minimum cybersecurity standards after an FCC vote Thursday. “This is such a terrible idea. This is rolling out the red carpet for another attack,” EFF’s @cooperq told CNET. cnet.com/home/internet/interne…
Yeah, but the Coast Guard is still under DHS, which should not exist
DHS was created in 2002-2003 by the Bush/Cheney regime, as "a needed reorganization" for "stronger security".
The term "homeland" had not been used before by any president and is -irrefutably- reminiscent of Nazi terminology, something corporate press studiously ignored then, and to this day.
It has weaponized agencies that used to be legit, and has long been a haven for reactionary bigots. DHS itself needs to be abolished
The first Tesla Supercharger for Business station is up and running in Florida, with eight branded V4 Supercharger stalls. This is what it means for you
We're looking to migrate to another Mastodon server, to one that's ideally still urbanist focused, but is a little more moderated and with a healthy admin focus. Does anyone have any recommendations of servers for an account that's mostly a publication feed of transit and land-use community journalism?
We used to live on mspsocial.net (love them!), but are looking for a server that allows anonymous access. We'd prefer not one of the huge servers where moderation is generally lacking.
@ndoto And back in the old days, it was *typical* to have a separate receiver and transmitter. As in entirely separate physical items on the desk, or mounted in the rack. Which you needed to manually keep tuned to the same frequency, unless of course you were set up with a whole separate frequency oscillator. And the transmit/receive switch was an actual toggle switch which controlled which of the two the antenna was connected to.
@Synchro It has a great idea about time travel in that they build a box that simply reverses time while you're inside it. So if you want to go back an hour, you have to spend an hour in the box. And if you want to go back a week, be prepared to spend a week in the box and pack supplies. So it's not a trivial "jump to whenever" time travel.
They start to use it, successfully, on minor tests, and everything seems alright. Then things start unraveling...
The web becomes far more interesting when you explore it on your own instead of letting a bot spoon feed you the highlights. 😊 It just feels more human.

“A nationalist will say that “it can’t happen here,” which is the first step toward disaster. A patriot says that it could happen here, but that we will stop it.”
Western Politicians be like "we have to be on Twitter, it's what that Rich Man said it is, a 'global town square.' We're ever so well behaved, we're playing the Game"
okay i need a new laptop. i am looking for something that can easily handle steam remote play, and ideally runs linux. doesn't need to run many games directly, the only ones i will be playing directly on it are things like Nubby's Number Factory.
No specific things to suggest, but I would say look at Lenovo, they make solid stuff, and deals can be found if you look around on deal sites and retailers.
Who has that one soundalike meme with a Hershey's bar where "her" and "she" are each circled pointing to a woman's restroom symbol, while "ys" is circled pointing to the Ys protagonist Adol?
Is there a sort of LinkedIn for Free software nerds? I'm thinking a (fedi, obviously) social network where you can post your CV, tech interests, project history, etc. as a way of working together, talking about the stuff we're building, and creating a profile around contributors.
If there is, I'd love to join. If there isn't, I'd love to build one.
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is running a shadow operation inside the White House in an effort to sideline pro-Ukraine officials, the Kyiv Independent has learned.
Witkoff — a real estate mogul with no diplomatic background before his appointment — has emerged as one of the central architects of a new Washington peace proposal that Ukrainian officials say revives the Kremlin's most sweeping demands.
A source in Ukraine's President's Office earlier said that Witkoff is shaping the plan in direct coordination with Kirill Dmitriev, -- Russia's top economic negotiator and an operator in Moscow's efforts to influence Washington.
"He has been doing it for months," the source said, mentioning Witkoff's 28-point plan that has been seen in Kyiv as a de facto capitulation to Russia.

Dear Mr. McClure,
Warning: This document contains privileged information from Elections Alberta, and permission
from Eberhart may be required before publication.
According to Elections Alberta data, Joshua Eberhart does not vote in provincial elections. The
question then becomes how does someone who does not even vote get talked into leading a
recall? I believe Mr. Eberhart acts as a proxy for Alberta Resistance, a left-wing activist group
weaponizing recall legislation to target UCP MLAs and provoke a general election. This
approach contradicts the spirit of recall legislation, and therefore, this application is without
merit.
Kind regards,
