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."

"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:

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

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.

β€œTHE 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.

US #Mafia news: When two terrorist and genocider states make more and more agreements.


The State of #Israel and the #US, today, signed an
MOU on advancing cooperation in energy and artificial intelligence ( #Al).
The signing was held at Blair House, in Washington, with the participation of Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu, US Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, together with the ambassadors of both countries -
Mike Huckabee and Yechiel Leiter.
The agreement, which was formulated under the leadership of Energy Secretary Eli Cohen, is designed to advance cooperation in applying Al to strengthening the energy grids in Israel and the US, and to encourage research, innovation and the development of joint policies. Under the agreement, regional projects, including IMEC and the Abraham Accords, will be advanced, and a working group on cooperation regarding standards and optimal practices, as well as safe digital infrastructure for embedding Al in the energy economies.

The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure is a party to the agreement along with the Prime Minister's Office and the US Department of Energy, the US Department of the Interior and the White House National Energy Dominance Council.
Prime Minister Netanyahu:
"Mr. Secretary, Mr. Secretary, ambassadors, the future belongs to those who innovate. America and Israel are the prime innovation nations on the planet. Al is the thrust of innovation now and will create unbelievable things in the future. It's both challenging, because there could be bad things in it, but there could be unimaginable good things. I think we can lead this. This day will be remembered. Not every signing ceremony is as significant as this. This is very significant.
I want to thank you and President Trump for the incredible cooperation and friendship that has been unmatched and will yield great things for America and Israel. It will make both of us greater, again."
US Secretary of the Interior Burgum:
"Before we begin, I do want to say about this historic agreement. There has been such incredible collaboration between the United States and Israel demonstrated over the last month. The planning, the execution, the world has never seen anything like it, truly eliminating one of the existential threats that was facing the entire world, not just Israel and the United States. So again, congratulations.
This step takes us into the future around collaboration because we know that defense would not be working without Al, but all the incredible technological leadership, the great entrepreneurship, the incredible startup community that's strong and vibrant in Israel, all of this bodes well for the future. The first kind of agreement that Chris and I have signed with any country is this one and we think it's a great place to start."
US Secretary of Energy Wright:
"Honored to partner with you and the tremendous people of Israel, as you say, innovators, technology innovators, cutting-edge business folks and strong, proud country, and been a great American ally for a long time and I think our partnership has never been tighter, never been stronger than it is today."

I have spent more time than I'm willing to admit thinking about this and doing web searches, and now I'm desperate to know a solid example of four.

I did come across the "widow skimmer dragonfly", which works if you're willing to stretch: you have to grant that widows and dragons are legitimately animals and take "skimmer" to be the type of bird. It's not entirely satisfying.

When it comes to knowing precisely which type of miniature horizontal line is needed for which context, most of us can use the occasional refresher. cmosshoptalk.com/2024/01/23/hy…

Prediction…not guilty…

A trial at Liverpool Crown Court has been shown CCTV footage of Amaaz, 20, swinging a punch towards the officer, hitting her in the nose - and today new scenes captured on bodyworn police cameras were revealed showing her distress.

PC Ward, who described herself as 'quite petite, 5ft 2in and 8st', told the court that she was part of the three-officer team going to arrest Amaaz on suspicion of headbutting a man minutes earlier in a Starbucks cafΓ©.

in reply to YoungBlood

The unarmed officer said she had gone into a pay station area alongside armed officers Zachary Marsden and Ellie Cook to arrest Amaaz after he had been identified as a suspect on CCTV.

She told how Amaaz punched her after she tried to drag him away from her colleague PC Marsden who was grappling with Amaaz's brother Muhammed Amaad, 26.

The attempted arrest was followed by a brawl involving Amaaz, Amaad and three officers that was filmed and went viral online.
