Canadian immigration needs to come up with better policies to protect the people they come into contact with. Yes, she may have been entering illegally, but sending her back to be detained by US immigration officials isn't ok either. We know too much now. They should have warned her, and given her the opportunity to book return travel to her home country. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a…
Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it
Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin Joins Multistate Lawsuit Against Trump Administration Over Illegal Cuts to Federal Agencies njoag.gov/attorney-general-mat…
New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin joined a coalition of 21 attorneys general in filing a lawsuit against the Trump Administration to stop the dismantling of three federal agencies—the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Minorit…
Philip Gourevitch asked the one high ranking policeman he saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”
Ok, right hit me with your github replacement recommandations.
Basically, I want whatever the lowest effort replacement is. Ideally, it would be one command to move something over and the replacement would still allow easy forking and making issues and all of that kind of stuff.
A few of my favorite signs 1200+#HandsOff Rallies Over 100K in DC alone Estimated 3M+ in US protesting Every state & Many countries We the People are making good trouble “The power of the people is always greater than the people in power” #RemoveTrumpNow #DeportMusk #VoteOutAllGOP
More than 500,000 people registered for more than 1,200 demonstrations across all 50 states to protest President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
Pictures from the Hands Off protest march in Louisville, Kentucky, a thread: Best of Protest sign: "I'D CALL THEM CUNTS BUT THEY LACK DEPTH AND WARMTH." (I asked "May I take your photo" of all the people of whom I took face to face photos)
The last week has been concrete proof that the Conservative Party of Canada put zero effort into vetting their candidates. None. How can they expect to run a country when they can’t be bothered to do basic due diligence? #canada #cdnelxn
Apparently #USAG Pam Bondi doesn't think being truthful is in the interest of the US:
Her excuse for putting a #DOJ atty on administrative leave for telling the truth: "Justice Dept attys are obligated to zealously defend the interests of the United States."
If you didn’t know—donotcall.gov/ isn’t just for stopping robocalls. You can also report spam and phishing texts or scam calls. It only takes a minute, and every report helps fight back against these shady tactics.
If I boost too much about the protests today/tomorrow, you can: --- Click "hide boosts" on my profile (works until you undo it manually) - or --- Mute me for 24 hours (or a different intervall). This feature of time options is not available on all apps but in the browser version for sure. It's great because people are unmuted automatically after a certain time.
I boost protest posts because protest is important and I want to show solidarity.
AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler: President Trump basically, with the stroke of a pen, took away the collective bargaining agreements of 700,000 union workers… To cancel someone’s rights like that is a slippery slope.
And for those out there listening who say, ‘Oh wow, it sucks to be a federal worker’—they’re coming after you next. This is essentially a beta test for how far they can go. Next will be rippling out across the public sector at the state and local level, and then into the private sector.
Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott is blaming a history of election problems in the state’s most populous county for his delay in calling for a special election.

China just cut off the supply of five critical minerals to the U.S.: dysprosium, terbium, tungsten, indium, and yttrium. They are required for jet engines, magnets, computer parts, lasers, and much more - and China controls most of the world's production of each of them

Voici une description de texte alternatif pour l'image :
L’image est une caricature humoristique sur les paradoxes de la langue anglaise. Le texte indique que l’anglais est facile à apprendre, puis montre plusieurs exemples où les noms anglais sont trompeurs. On voit une aubergine (avec une indication « pas un œuf »), un ananas (« pas d’ananas, pas de pomme »), un hamburger (« pas de jambon »), et un cochon d’Inde (« pas un cochon »). L’ensemble illustre l’ironie des noms anglais qui ne correspondent pas toujours à la réalité.
So, while the massive crowds in NY, Washington, Boston and Chicago are great, please show your appreciation to those who protested in smaller towns.
Even a crowd of 25 or 30 people… they risk more. They’re holding up signs in front of their neighbours and people they know. That takes a courage that you don’t need in a big march in a big city.
Okay, time to #AskFedi because search engines are shit now and this is driving me up a wall
A rapper sampled the #BlackStar performance (usually referred to as "What Is Beef") from Chappelle Show back in 2003 and made part of it a chorus for a song. Anybody remember who it was? I'm reasonably certain it was a song from between 2010 and 2020. Not many more clues than that right now. Should have favorited the song when I first heard it, but I didn't. Meh
A great image showing exploding the illusion of capitalism-in-one-country! --- Workers on or near American assembly lines must be opening boxes of components from all over the world to create "Made In America" products.
The global process of production created by capitalism itself points the members of the international working class to each other. But this process does spontaneous welds and bolts and glue those workers into a party that fights for their own historic interests.
this is probably the right place to ask so does anyone know of a tool that lets me export songs i've downloaded on spotify desktop or android? not downloads from spotify, but just decrypts the stuff that is downloaded
Please, I beg of you, if you're publishing anything – especially a position paper, report, white paper, etc – include the date in an obvious, visible place. Ideally right there on the cover.
Stuff is moving fast. A report or a white paper that is not clearly marked with a publishing date is very close to useless – is it a year old, or a decade? Is it up to date? Is it not quoted anywhere because it's literally just out, or because it's considered crap?
