IIRC, that happened a few months ago, not now. A lot of schools are out for the summer already anyway. School staff did a great job of making the feds fuck off.
Now imagine how the parents of Uvalde felt. Police showed up, and not only did nothing, but actively prevented OTHER parents, who were showing up to storm the grounds to shoot the shooter themselves. But the police protected the shooter, causing the deaths of more kids. If memory serves me right, 12 kids had died before parents showed up. And something like 37 died by days end.
Meaning, even if the police did nothing, and allowed the parents to go through, parents would have shot the shooter and saved 25 more kids.
Imagine knowing your kid is dead because police were afraid.
I doubt it. American parents have their kids shot to pieces at schools and do nothing about it, assuming you're an american I have my doubts you'd make any effort towards justice.
Everyone talks like they're Liam Neeson from 'Taken' but the reality is no schools or ICE facilities were burned down by any parent or member of the community who's children were abducted by unidentified feds. The government aren't afraid because people like you blow hot air all day but they call your bluff over and over and win every time, I see a lot of talk but only two examples of somebody ante-ing up and doing something about it, and one of them missed by centimeters.
I'm sorry, I don't mean you personally. In all honesty I agree with your initial statement in that I too would and do want proper justice for crimes against children, but then I'm immediately smacked in the face by the reality that we aren't even close to seeing any of that kind of justice and all our tough talk doesn't scare them one bit. We are grinding the same axe here, but i'm very perturbed by all this which has made me eager to fight and i'm sorry if I directed fighting words to you personally. We're both strangers to eachother here after all, I have no way of knowing who you are, if 99.999...% of the time that sort of justice you mentioned never happens then how am I to NOT think you would be the same? I'm sure you'd WANT to burn down the school, much like I want to burn the Sacklers for killing 12 of my friends in the opioid epidemic, much like their parents who were deceived into dodgy perscriptions by doctors probably want to burn the whole thing down, nobody ever does.
Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/

Palestine. Deuxième phase de la levée du siège israélien : un autre convoi quitte la Tunisie pour Gaza !
resumenlatinoamericano.org - 9 de junio de 2025
Les volontaires arabes ont quitté la #Tunisie pour #Gaza dans une caravane. Une journaliste britannique rapporte qu'environ 1 000 Tunisiens ont entamé la deuxième phase de la levée du blocus israélien de la bande de Gaza.
« Environ 1.000 Tunisiens, en majorité des jeunes, participent à partir de ce lundi au « convoi Al-Soumoud », en direction de la Tunisie vers la frontière égypto-palestinienne », a averti Vanessa #Beeley dans un message sur son compte X.
Elle a souligné que l'objectif du groupe est de tenter de briser le siège imposé par Israël aux Palestiniens de Gaza depuis mars dernier.
Les organisateurs de cette campagne ont appelé les citoyens algériens et libyens à prendre part à l'accueil des participants lors du passage de ce convoi sur leurs territoires. "Ce convoi terrestre, qui rassemble des volontaires algériens, tunisiens et libyens, n'est pas la seule initiative", a-t-elle souligné.
Un porte-parole du convoi, Wael Naouar, a déclaré que « des partisans de la cause palestinienne de 32 autres pays devraient arriver par avion à l'aéroport international du Caire » en soutien aux Palestiniens de Gaza et à la rupture du siège israélien de l'enclave côtière.
Cette mobilisation pour mettre fin aux crimes d'Israël à Gaza intervient après l'attaque par Israël du navire d'aide humanitaire, le « Madleen », qui se dirigeait vers Gaza.
Le « Madleen », l’un des navires appartenant à la Coalition de la Flottille de la Liberté (FFC), a commencé à naviguer le 1er juin depuis le port de Catane, dans le sud de l’Italie, vers la bande de Gaza, dans un geste symbolique visant à briser le siège imposé par le régime sioniste à plus de 2 millions de Palestiniens vivant dans l’enclave palestinienne, dévastée et assiégée à la suite de 20 mois de guerre génocidaire.

Women have no accountability and are free to do whatever they want at the detriment to the entire nation 😏 they're so dense and stupid some don't even realize they're killing off our race for our racial enemies, some do realize what they're doing and they think it's a good thing because the racial enemy that wants them raped and murdered said it was a good thing
Men did their job too well, made life too easy and comfortable for women. And on top of that, our forefathers removed the social and legal structures that kept female lizard brain behavior largely at bay.
Hell, they don't even like their own offspring anymore. Assuming she doesn't join the modern wahmen child murder cult - she will bury her face in her phone, completely ignore her child, and abdicate all child raising responsibilities because it "takes too much effort".

Chinese exports to US fall most since 2020 despite trade truce.
This outcome was entirely predictable. The US launched a trade war against virtually the entire world. China, conversely, is fighting a trade war solely against the US. Naturally, China has abundant opportunities to redirect trade away from the US and towards the very nations the US is simultaneously attacking economically.
By Patrick Reymond. The message was well received; some countries are at direct war with Russia, and there will be no lack of reaction, even if, here, we probably won't even hear about it.
"Siyasi iktidar olarak adlandırılabilecek her şeyi ilke olarak ve pratikte tamamen ortadan kaldırmak gerekir. Siyasi iktidar var olduğu sürece, yönetenler ve yönetilenler, efendiler ve köleler, sömürenler ve sömürülenler hep var olacaktır."
The #DogsOfMastodon hashtag is discriminatory and exclusionary. As if there aren't other #Fediverse platforms other than #Mastodon with dog owners and dog lovers on them. Fuck your elitist Mastodon bullshit.

En Haute mer, le droit maritime coutumier s’applique, qu’ #Israël ait ratifié ou non la Convention de Montego Bay sur le droit de la mer. D’ailleurs, les 🇺🇸 ou la 🇹🇷 ne l’ont pas fait non plus. Mais la mer, ce n’est pas le Far West! . Deux principes fondamentaux s’appliquent en Haute mer (des principes coutumiers, codifiés dans la Convention de Montego Bay) : 🌊 La liberté de navigation (art. 87). ⛵️La Juridiction exclusive de l’État du pavillon (art. 92 et 97) 4. Un État ne peut intercepter un navire étranger en Haute mer que dans des cas exceptionnels : 🏴☠️ Piraterie. 🧪Trafic illicite. 🏴 Navire sans pavillon. ❌ Blocus licite, proportionné, et respectueux du Droit international. 👉 Aucune de ces conditions n’est remplie ici. 5. Dans ce cas, 🇮🇱 invoque le blocus de Gaza. Mais c’est illegal car : ❌Gaza est un territoire occupé illegalement. ❌Ce blocus est un élément d’une politique criminelle visant à entraver l’aide humanitaire. Ce n’est pas moi qui le dit, c’est la justice internationale! ⚖️ 6.🔹 Gaza est un territoire occupé illégalement. ✔️ @CIJ_ICJ , avis de 2004 & 2024 : malgré le retrait de 2005, Israël exerce un contrôle effectif et donc une occupation prolongée & illégale. ➡️ Le blocus fait partie intégrante de cette occupation illégale. 7. 🔹 Le blocus contribue au risque de genocide / genocide. ✔️ @CIJ_ICJ : ordonnances de janv., mars & mai 2024 (affaire 🇿🇦 c. 🇮🇱) : • Risque plausible de génocide • Obligation de garantir l’aide humanitaire. ➡️ L’arraisonnement de @GazaFFlotilla viole ces décisions. 8.🔹 Le blocus total de #Gaza constitue un #crime international. ✔️ En novembre 2024, la @CourPenaleInt a lancé des mandats d’arrêt contre #Netanyahu et #Gallant notamment pour la #famine et l’entrave à l’aide humanitaire comme crime de guerre et crimes contre l’humanité. 9. 📌 En droit international humanitaire : ✅ L’aide humanitaire doit être autorisée et facilitée. ❌ La famine comme méthode de guerre est interdite. 👉 Le #Madleen, navire civil et humanitaire battant pavillon 🇬🇧 est protégé par le droit international et le droit britannique. 10. La @CourPenaleInt a déjà jugé que l’arraisonnement du⛵️Mavi Marmara 🇰🇲 (9 civils tués par 🇮🇱) pouvait constituer un crime de guerre. L’affaire a été classée par la Proc. Bensouda pour “gravité insuffisante”, mais PAS pour absence de compétence.👇 11. Le Madleen (@GazaFFlotilla) agit donc dans le respect du droit international : ✔️ De la mer (navigation pacifique, pavillon 🇬🇧) ✔️ Du droit humanitaire (aide humanitaire). ✔️ des ordonances de la @CIJ_ICJ (risque de génocide). ➡️ Son action est légale, légitime, protégée. 12. Au contraire, en agissant de la sorte, Israël viole : ❌ Le droit de la mer ❌ Le droit international humanitaire ❌ Les ordonnances de la @CIJ_ICJ. 🔎 Cet acte constitue une preuve supplémentaire pour le dossier du Procureur de la CPI. 🗃️ 13. Six Français étaient à bord du navire, dont la députée européenne @RimaHas. 🇫🇷 La France protège ses ressortissants. 🇬🇧Le Royaume-Uni doit défend son pavillon. 🇪🇺L’Union européenne protège ses représentants. 14. L’arraisonnement du Madleen n’est pas un incident isolé. C’est un nouveau test pour le respect et la mise en oeuvre du droit international! L’inaction face a ces violations repetees renforce l’impunité et fragilise le droit international. 15. Comme le souligne parfaitement @FranceskAlbs : Le Madleen est un symbole. Celui de civils qui font appliquer le droit là où les États échouent. ➡️ Ce sont eux, et vous tous, par vos paroles et actions, qui sauvaient le droit international. 16. Même si le navire Madleen avait été intercepté dans les eaux territoriales de Gaza, cela constituerait un acte illégal. Comme expliqué, Gaza est un territoire occupé illégalement, Israël n’y a aucune souveraineté et doit faciliter l’aide humanitaire, pas l’empêcher. 17. Bravo à @BenjaminFiorini pour avoir rappelé avec clarté et pédagogie les principes fondamentaux du droit international. @JURDIasso, une boussole juridique plus que jamais bienvenue dans un environnement saturé de médiocrité et de propagande. ⚖️ Johann Soufi. 19. Il est maintenant clair, -si confirmation officielle est nécessaire- que Israël emmerde toute la planète. + Bafouer le droit international en génocidant un petit peuple est une chose, bafouer le droit international de ceux qui prétendent faire les règles en est une autre. Faire des règles sans respecter les règles, il va falloir faire la danseuse. Sans rire; soutenir l’absurde par de la violence pure est une des définitions du nazisme. M’étonnerai que cela soit pérenne. BP.

My cousin seems to actually be putting his life back together for the first time since he started messing up when we were teenagers. Perhaps his dad dying suddenly really did the trick. But I’m also concerned he will fall in with the wrong people again which is why he still doesn’t know where I live.
“So, let’s chat about this cool ancient place called Gur City, which is also known as Gor or Firuzabad. It’s tucked away in Fars Province, Iran, and dates back to when the Achaemenid Empire was around, a time that stretched from 550 to 330 BCE. What’s interesting about this city is its circular layout, with a diameter of about 1,500 meters. The walls are made from mudbrick and can be a whopping 12 meters thick! Gur City isn’t just a bunch of walls, though; it has a pretty intricate design that includes a central citadel, a royal palace, and several other administrative buildings. While there isn’t a ton of info floating around online about it, it's believed to have played a key role as an administrative hub during the Achaemenid Empire. After the empire fell, the city was eventually left behind and stayed hidden until it was rediscovered in the 19th century.”

🎙️ LINUX AND OPEN SOURCE NEWS PODCAST: Listen to the latest Linux and open source news, with more in depth coverage, and ad-free! podcast.thelinuxexp.com
00:00 Intro 00:27 Sponsor: 10% off your first website with SquareSpace 01:25 Linux is everywhere 02:47 Developers 04:00 Office Work 06:57 Media Creation 08:15 AI 08:58 The tip of the iceberg 11:19 Not for everyone 13:40 Sponsor: Get a PC made to run Linux 14:41 Support the channel
The first thing is that Linux is everywhere and already used by professionals all around the world.
I could take the example of Android, which is the most popular smartphone OS in the world, and using a Linux kernel. I could turn to the absolute domination of Linux on the server space.
I could also point to every NAS out there, generally using a Linux kernel, if we look at IoT and small appliances, Linux also dominates the space. But it's not what people intend when talking about an OS. Generally, they mean that the Linux DESKTOP isn't ready for professionals.
The first obvious counter argument is developers. Linux is used by 47% of professional developers. That's higher than the market share of macOS among developers.
If we take the vast majority of people who will interact with a computer, what do they truly need in their day to day job? A web browser, an email client, an office suite, and a usable interface.
On that specific front, Linux has all that's needed. Whether it's KDE for an interface closer to Windows, or GNOME for the simplest thing to use possible, the Linux desktop IS one of the most usable out there.
In terms of web browsers, there's no question, we have them all. For email clients, we do lack Outlook, but the web interface might be enough for most people's needs, and if not, we have awesome clients that can replace Outlook: Evolution and Thunderbird.
LibreOffice might be a great option for a lot of people, but it does have some problems, let's face it. But LibreOffice isn't our only choice. For perfect compatibility, we have access to SoftMaker Office, now called FreeOffice, or to WPS Office.
Now, for media creation, Linux lacks all the Adobe programs. But that doesn't mean we don't have tools either. Davinci Resolve is a tool used by professionals and hollywood studios to edit videos, edit audio, and create virtual effects. It basically does what Audition, After Effects and Premiere do, in one single package. it's available on Linux.
We have Blender for VFX. Houdini, a tool used by VFX artists for simulations? It's on Linux. Maya? It's on Linux. Studio One, a professional DIgital Audio Workstation, just released a beta for Linux. We have inkscape, Ardour, Krita - one of the most popular digital drawing apps- OBS, PDF Studio for editing PDF documents, Bitwig, and a lot more.
Whether you like AI or not, it's happening. And AI is a professional domain in which Linux is the standard.
And that's the tip of the iceberg. Cybersecurity professionals mostly use Linux. Almost 100% of supercomputers used for any specific domain run Linux. The whole space industry runs on Linux. A bunch of military sytems run Linux.
The market share of Linux on the desktop is low, there's no denying that: it's listed at barely 3%, far below macOS or Windows. But this doesn't include another system: Chrome OS. And chrome OS has 3.9% market share on the desktop. Combined with non Chrome OS Linux ssytems, taht's almost 7%. it's still lower than proprietary OSes, but that's a LOT of computers running a Linux system.
Now, that doesn't mean Linux is ready for every professional out there. If you absolutely need certain software that's not available, then Linux won't work for you. But I'd argue that it's not necessarily a Linux problem: it has the tools needed to do the same job in most cases. It's just not the tools you're allowed to use, or want to use.
Iran has once again reaffirmed its readiness for constructive dialogue on its nuclear program, but only if negotiations with the U.S. do not turn into a
Nice. Now do Netanyahu, the rest of the israeli government, and everyone in the IDF. You know, the folks perpetrating the genocide of the Palestinian people.
Oh, and maybe stop running surveillance flights to help israel commit genocide.

Imagine knowing your kid is dead because police were afraid.
