The special election is in 2 weeks and Turning Point Action shifted most of their GOTV team to this little known recall and after Kirk died the volunteers significantly increased. Their goal is to shift Mesa to an even more far-right stronghold, TPUSA folks encouraged Mark Lamb to run in CD5 too.

Arguing online is a waste of time. I would rather do something productive, like procrastinate for weeks at a time.

But the medical bills from the trauma center coming will cause very deep hardship. If you loved the best textfiles, send some monetary love to this family.

Ctrl+S by default, pressing Ctrl+S wi(( freeze your terminal (and Ctrl+Q wi(( unfreeze) I have never wanted this in my life, you can turn it off with stty -ixon (fish turns it off by default) ###fun fact: changing Ctrl+C technically you can use stty to set a different keyboard shortcut for Ctrl+C, (ike “u” stty intr u this is extremely chaotic and I can’t imagine a reason that I would ever do this though programs have to configure the TTY driver to get friendly features developer: I want arrow keys to work in my program! other person: better tell the TTY driver to turn off canonical mode! (more on the next page) the TTY driver’s settings are called “termios settings” for the gnarly details: man termios but if you’re writing a terminal program libraries like readline or ncurses will handle setting up the TTY driver panel 6 smiling stick figure with short curly hair: I’ve only needed to use stty once in the last 20 years and I mostly don’t understand its output but I think it’s a fun view into terminal internals!

At this point it’s the next stage. This will be used to normalize routine lethal suppression.
They’ll say it was a “riot” and they had no choice.
My hope is that more voices rise up now, because silence only deepens the harm. A community is only as strong as the way it treats its most vulnerable, and right now this country is failing that test.

Lock down your digital security. Find people in your community with varied skills. Everything becomes important more than you know.
It’s the little things that add up. The fight is against fascism here and abroad. Capitalism puts strain on everyone. Help lessen the burden on your neighbor
When boats enter the picture in rising global conflicts, always assume war is on the horizon.
Prepare accordingly. Assume your communities will need to fend for themselves.
Have decentralized communication fallbacks. Have systems of mutual aide ready. Build networks of trust.
