The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg
). The post reads: "Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that."

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

A screenshot from a court filing reads, in part: 

"Julio Noriega is 54 years old, was born in Chicago, and is a U.S. citizen. 

On January 31, 2025, he was walking near the corner of Cermak Road and Harlem Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses. 

As he walked out of a Jiffy Lube, he was approached by ICE officers who grabbed and handcuffed him and put him into a van, without an opportunity to explain his citizenship. 

The officers drove Julio and others around for more than an hour before bringing him to an ICE processing center, where he remained, still handcuffed, for several more hours. 

All the while, Julio had a wallet containing identification that ICE had confiscated.

The officers never showed Julio a warrant, and they did not ask him any questions to ascertain whether he was a noncitizen or a flight risk. 

After about 10 hours, ICE officers reviewed the contents of Julio’s
wallet, realized he was a U.S. citizen, and released him with no money and no paperwork."

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

I remember using this BBS, it was in Los Angeles (213 area code then), and was a roll call for me. A friend sold me his Novation JCat modem (300 baud), which was my first modem and I used that for many years.

That’s a neat tattoo- and definitely has the ‘Kare’ icon look.

Susan was either present at the Computer History Museum for the 40th Anniversary of the Mac.

I still can’t understand why Burrell Smith’s part in Mac development wasn’t acknowledged that night.

It was a very cool event.

I’ve just finished the “Ben Hoyt episode “ of Stary Pointers, I enjoyed this one very much.
Bring a Python programmer, I had no idea about the os.walk() /os.scandir() overhaul, and am happy to hear about it. We’ve just switched from Windows to Linux for development where
