This wasn’t done in secret. They wanted the whole world to see this.

I intentionally removed the thumbnail to make it more likely people would read this post before clicking, and because the article is so full of wall-to-wall violence and bigotry that I thought even the generated thumbnail shouldn’t be just thrown on people’s timelines.

This was CBP in a private facebook group in 2019. They've always been like this.

If medical care is speech, then the government can't restrict it - or compel it. This is a very dark path to go down. Ceding political ground on trans rights is what encouraged groups like ADF to use legalizing the psychological abuse of children for profit as the wedge to establish this precedent.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Trump really could stand on 5th Ave and shoot someone. AP would say it was “a striking reversal of long-standing policies on interpersonal violence.”

AP Government shutdown now Trump administration threatens no back pay for federal workers in the shutdown, reversing what has been a long-standing policy.

It’s the unequivocal letter of the law that furloughed employees receive back pay. This headline is a lie. It assumes the premise that the regime’s claim to omnipotence is legitimate by describing what is objectively a crime as “reversal of long-standing policy”.

Most Americans have not experienced a humanitarian crisis of the scope and scale that is approaching in the next couple of months because of cuts like this and other homelessness services generally.

Over the weekend ICE abducted an NIH contractor when he showed up to a courthouse for his green card hearing. He is documented. His wife is a citizen.

He is also member of the skeleton crew of animal care staff that works through a shutdown, to ensure the health and wellbeing of research animals.

Mesa Gateway Airport is keeping people locked up for weeks in a detention facility only meant for 12 hour holding and ICE is using this airport to deport immigrants to countries they’re not even from — detainees are reporting they’re being flown out in straight jackets & given little food or water.

There's no other "treatment" I can think of that has such overwhelming evidence against it but that may become legally impossible for the state to regulate.

SCOTUS’s existing and likely rulings will have the effect of outlawing the proven standard of care and replacing it with torture.

Digital commerce was a mistake. Having services where lots of people make accounts was a mistake. We should all just have a server in our basement and only talk to people we know already over IRC and DDoS each other like nature intended.

I see people waiting on weekends for route 237 all the time and I think it may in part be because our branding and maps implicitly overstate its service levels. I've even met experienced operators who drive Kearny Mesa Division routes and didn't know that 237 is weekdays only.

At this point, route 227 is so reduced that this map would make more sense if MTS just said "933/934 are now 233/234 and 227 is now 927" and swapped them.

I haven't seen the map on the second page before. It would be cool except:
- 227 has 30min peak headways west of Iris Ave
- 204 has 30min headways, weekdays only
- 237 operates peak times, weekdays only

Would love to see more of this in San Diego. MTS has tried to make subway diagrams for the Rapid network, but too much of it is peak/weekday only that it's almost misleading. There are more frequent buses overlaying some of the routes, but they aren't Rapid(tm).

I think something really important to note about this data is how the graphs show that the differences between liberal and conservative mainstream outlets is far less than many believe, even in 2023.

Some examples: Fox, WaPo, NYT are all anti-trans, anti-homeless, and fearmonger/lie about crime.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Screenshot of code. It is a Python script that, when invoked at the command line, opens a JSON file and loops through all the keys in that file, which are the names of virtual environments. For each one, it calls a function which itself executes three shell commands: activating the virtual environment, generate a requirements.txt with pip freeze, and copying that requirements.txt file to a directory specified by the value associated with the virtual environment in the JSON config file.

Ended up making a "venv" folder in ~/Documents (not synced) and a JSON file mapping each venv to a relevant place in my GDrive to store a copy of the requirements.txt. It's set to run ever hour, which is excessive, but it's super light-weight so I don't really care. Might change it to 8 hours.

Aged depressingly well.

CHRONIC INACTION BY CBP mong the 809 formal complaints filed against the agency, 472 (58.3 percent) resulted in when the Immigration Council received the data in response to the FOlA request. Six complaints resulted in counseling, two led to court proceedings against the perpetrator, two led to an oral reprimand of the accused, and an additional two resulted in a written report. Only one resulted in suspension of the perpetrator of the abuse. In other words, among the 485 complaints in which a formal decision was made, "No Action Taken" represented 97 percent of all outcomes, with the average amount of time taken to arrive at a decision being 122 days. Among the cases that were still "Pending Investigation," the average number of days between the date the complaint was filed and the last record date provided in the data set was 389 days.

Data

For those claiming these are not trained agents, this is a report done in 2014. Looks like what you are seeing today, huh?

The purpose of this article is to manufacture consent, specifically among people who are liberal enough to at least think climate change is real, for what RFK Jr and Mehmet Oz are about to do to these communities.

Asthma source: www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CCD...

MTS source: www.sdmts.com/sites/defaul...

In San Diego, asthma rates are highest in the poorest neighborhoods where people live closest to highways, the port, and heavy industry.

Also, per 2024 MTS ridership survey, people in households making <$75k/year are 3-4x more likely to use transit.

Nothing has really changed in the rest of the text from the last 50 times they told us not to talk about subjects not on the syllabus or cancel classes for protests.

I tried to read about ATProto last night and quickly realized it was not a one-night task, but I’m going to take a closer look and figure out if there are ways I can contribute in some way to actually decentralizing this platform.

Yeah, the issue I wanted to avoid is manual steps I'd forget. As @niema.net suggested, I may be able to find a way to script regularly exporting lock files of an index of environments and adding that file to the synced folder.

Thanks that's a good idea. I'm doing it this way because I wanted to avoid extra steps that can be forgotten, but finding a way to regularly script it would be helpful.

This was already best practice because ICE agents have facial ID apps on their phones, but you must be masked when you believe federal agents are nearby, whether you are protesting or just coincidentally there.

You and your family will be in immediate physical danger if you don't.
