Brigitte Macron déboutée en appel dans son procès en diffamation contre Natacha #Rey
Ce jeudi 10 juillet, la cour d’appel de Paris a relaxé Natacha Rey et Amandine #Roy, les deux femmes accusées de diffamation par Brigitte Macron. Une très mauvaise surprise pour l’Elysée.

@Carter Braxton does the word matter, or the thing itself ? People come to a place far from home to stay there. They're immigrants, by the definition of the word. Then there's the relationship they're building up (or not) with other people already here. Usually with several different mode of interaction simultaneously : some people assimilate with the autochtones, some live alongside them, some fight them, etc. Similarly autochtones may simultaneously accept some immigrants, reject some, fight some, etc.

I fail to see what particular value you seem to put in the word "invaders".

in reply to Emmanuel Florac

@Emmanuel Florac The world is not synonymous with the earth. The earth is the physical construct, the tangible, while the world involves the politics the infrastructures, the regulations and the bureaucracies.

One finds it amusing if not sometimes more annoying how Europeans, the original invaders of not only the New World, but Africa, Asia and the Middle East, pretend as if the United States upon its founding, started mistreating the natives.

Europeans love pretending as if they, including the pompous French, had no hand in the mistreating of their colonies of niggers in Africa, the native Americans in their American or Caribbean colonies and the Arabs in the Middle East where the also had colonies. It is as if they have selective memories.

Europeans seem to pretend to forget, that while many of them stayed at home, away from their colonies, they propped up and supported the regimes from their homes. It is time that they are reminded that pretending to have newly washed hands will not absolve them for their past or present selves either.

ICE arrests four people after they appear in immigration court

ICE agents arrested four people Thursday morning outside of immigration courtrooms in downtown San Francisco. Mission Local witnessed one of the arrests in the hallway outside of the courtrooms at 630 Sansome St., an ICE field office that contains some of San Francisco’s immigration courtrooms and a short-term detention facility. The man left the courtroom following his hearing. Mission Local saw him handcuffed in the hallway outside the courtroom, surrounded by ICE agents and the building’s security staff.

"This 17-minute interview today with the UN's Francesca Albanese -- now under outrageous Trump Administration sanctions -- is well worth watching for its hard-hitting analysis of the corporate role in propping up Israeli apartheid. It also points directions for the US movement for BDS to follow in picking its choices for boycotts."

HELP KEEP SOCIALIST ALLIANCE WA ON THE BALLOT


Please support Socialist Alliance’s right to stand in the 2028 federal and 2029 state elections. Once again, we have to demonstrate that we have 500 members in WA.

The genocide in Gaza, approval of new fossil fuel projects, housing affordability crisis and the AUKUS show that we need to present socialist solutions to the crises of capitalism.

IF YOU ARE WILLING TO HELP US, PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM:

app.hellosign.com/s/69vik06Q

There is no financial or other obligation, but you need to be an Australian citizen on the electoral roll. If you are already a member or have helped us out in the past, we still need you to fill out the form because the WA Electoral Commission now requires a signature.

You can sign the form digitally, but if you are not comfortable doing this, the signature can be typed, but must be accompanied by a confirmatory email from you to wacontact@socialist-alliance.org.

If you have filled out the form in the last month, then please forward it to friends, workmates and family who you think would also be supportive.

Breaking the stranglehold of big business over our society requires the self-organisation of working people in struggle. We use our election campaigns to amplify these grassroots struggles. Please let us know if you’d like to get active.

In Solidarity, Sam Wainwright Socialist Alliance WA

"At Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence, the establishment of humanitarian zones will also proceed during any ceasefire, should one occur. According to the plan, each Gazan entering the humanitarian zone will undergo inspection to ensure they carry no weapons and are not affiliated with Hamas. Consequently, those outside these zones will later be identified as Hamas terrorists, providing legal justification for their elimination."

Israel is planning to exterminate all the Palestinians who will not voluntarily enter their concentration camps, and literally nobody cares.

yesterday I learned that repositories on github can have a .github/README.md file which will be shown in place of the regular readme when people view the repository on github

this is really useful for all your projects you're moving github where you still want to temporarily leave a mirror behind; instead of changing the default branch you can just have it render the github-specific readme that explains the situation, but people cloning from git will still see all the regular content:

Secret Service Suspends Six Agents Over ‘Failures’ During Trump Assassination Attempt

""We are laser focused on fixing the root cause of the problem,” Secret Service Deputy Director Matt Quinn told CBS.

Quinn acknowledged the agency’s responsibility for the security failure.

“Secret Service is totally accountable for Butler,” he stated. “Butler was an operational failure and we are focused today on ensuring that it never happens again.”"

Help raise awareness of the Palestinian cause by protesting, writing mails and pieces to/for newspapers, politicians and websites, blocading compagnies that cooperate with the fascist Israeli, boycotting all produce, goods and merchandise from Israel and compagnies in bed with the fascists etc., there are a lot of easy/small things to do, aand it will ad up, if we all do it!

there's a lot to like about Tiddlywiki but not if you want to use it in a way where you aren't just using some background html file sync between devices. If you want to access it *via a website*, every time you load it you're downloading a minimum of 2MB, much larger depending on how much data you have in there and possibly even file embeds (unless you use the File upload plugin thing and have it dump the files into S3/WebDav)

This sucks big time. If you have spotty data service you won't be able to open your "notes" reliably.

This is a huge red flag for me. If I only cared about using Tiddlywiki from one device it would be a pretty amazing solution though

Study: When experienced open-source developers used current AI tools, work took 19% longer to complete. In spite of which, the developers *thought* they were working *faster.*

It’s just one study, and they don’t claim anything beyond what they observed. Their results are not predictive. Still....

the new-to-me system arrived!

it's a HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Desktop Mini (say that five times fast) with an Intel 9600T processor.

everything looks good so far. however, no power-up test today.

astute readers will have noticed there isn't a power supply in the photos. in fact this system was an excellent deal because it shipped without a power supply or a storage device. I have both of those things on hand, but the power supply is a 100W USB-PD brick.

so, I'm waiting for a HP FlexIO USB-C + PD option board which is shipping from across the country. that board will go where the VGA port is now, and then I can power the machine via USB-PD, which I prefer for space & portability reasons.

“THE US IS imposing sanctions on a United Nations expert who published a report last month recommending sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel and penalties for companies enabling its human rights violations in Palestine.”

Also, big headlines 2 days ago about genocide-enabling USA hosting genocidal Israeli leaders to discuss possible "truce” in the genocide of an entire people and culture.

Small headlines yesterday to inform us that those talks went nowhere. Quelle surprise.

Boycott the USA.
