in 2023, i showed up to a palestine solidarity protest with a box of #N95 masks to distribute to the crowd. maybe one person took one. almost everyone glared at me and looked at me as if i was an annoying freak. i left disillusioned and discouraged.
earlier this week, i showed up to a protest in downtown #LosAngeles with a box of N95's, and i distributed all 50 of them within an hour. several people even thanked me! total 180 and says A LOT about the character of these uprisings.
Oh yeah it really makes more sense to take funding from public media and give it back to the people who piss it away every time they blink so we can fund more wars and things to kill people and poison the air and water and make life worse and the planet uninhabitable because some rich guys said they need it that way

i still need to do some more welding tonight. i got some done earlier that turned out pretty decent.
what i finally realized is that due to my tig torch being somewhat junky, i have to use additional gas flow above the recommended amount to ensure clean welds - like 25-30 cfm instead of 15-20. someday i'll get a better torch

in the last couple days ive backed up and "deleted" (for whatever thats worth) all my #google drive and photos data. way overdue, i know. but man, do i feel clean. gmail is still left, i have about 5 weeks before my storage limit goes down to whatever it goes down to when you stop paying google for storage. i will never make this mistake again. not with google, not with proton, not with whoever the next "good guy" in tech is. own your own data, be your own platform. f the corpos.
I think next time I reinstall my phone I might cut some of my final ties to Google, I still have a couple useful paid Play Store apps, getting rid of those is gonna suck but I don’t want to continue being connected to Play Services
@clawfulneutral yeah we each gotta map out our own priorities and paths and support one another with whatever knowledge we've accumulated along the way. according to the mobian wiki, the google pixel 3a, which i have lying around, is totally good to go with mobian. hopefully this weekend or next, i'm going to give it a whirl and see if it can be a decent daily driver.
i have never once logged into my server from my phone bc i dont want google having anything to do with it lol
it hasn’t talked to US towers in years at this point (I put my Obamaphone in hotspot mode so I can use the vastly superior Poco while out & about) but I’m really hoping it survives for the long haul so I can try projects like Mobian on it once I have a new daily driver.
@clawfulneutral 😁 im glad you got one thats on the list! i think you told me that you run on graphene, right? i could never get myself motivated to almost-de-google a phone. the inability to attack the kernel itself just drives me nuts. so im pretty excited about trying the mobian thing. (plus, it'll be great to have a phone and a laptop that both run on the same underlying software).
free phone from the government as part of the Lifeline program, since I’m too broke to consistently pay for cell service.
I don’t know if it’s a direct descendant of the program Obama started, but it’s good shorthand to refer to an extremely crappy phone I have courtesy of the federal government. in reality it’s so slow that it’s nearly unusable, so I just put it in hotspot mode and connect to it with my Poco when I’m out running around town.
I did recently move to another state that administers its own Lifeline program, which is switching to just giving out SIM cards, not sure how that’s gonna work in my case since the Poco doesn’t really speak US 4G bands, and its 3G++ capability stopped working in much of the USA like 4 years ago.
@clawfulneutral oooooh lol. i never heard it referred to as such, which is strangely ignorant on my part. it never occurred to me that a phone would become obsolete when bands change. i wonder if that could be fixed and it would be a matter of hardware or software hacking...?
sometimes it’s possible to replace or modify the software which runs the radio hardware and unlock new bands, but often that either doesn’t happen for a device (because it’s either super difficult or relies on leaks of binary firmware) or runs up against hardware limitations of the radio chip itself.
I should probably re-research if anybody has unlocked more US 4G bands for the Poco F1 (which was never intended for the US market) … however, it’s much less possible to jump generations, a 3G radio can’t be made to speak 4G, etc.
I’m not on Graphene yet, still running LineageOS for now. but Graphene is definitely on the short list for next reinstall or next phone, not sure which.
yeah, as far as I know Lineage uses vendor kernels for a given device, not sure about Graphene.
as a Debian user for many many years, it sure would be nice not to be relying on a vendor kernel, but I wouldn’t be surprised to have a lot of hardware features broken as a result. but, Mobian only supporting a few devices would focus dev efforts. and I’ve heard phones like the Poco have a big DIY scene in south Asia so there might be a lot of people working on fixing stuff.
probably worth double checking though: any #LineageOS aficionados know if Lineage uses an unmodified kernel from the device vendor, or what’s the story with that?
@clawfulneutral done checking already? Last time i checked: lineageOS runs on a self-built kernel based on source code published by device makers (gpl). Ubuntu touch and it's debian brother run on halium, a stripped down lineageOS.
I haven’t paid attention to kernel related issues on the Lineage lineage (ha) for quite a while, I’m not sure where I got the impression that they (or some in the ROM scene) were using binary kernel blobs
@Kurt debian brother meaning mobian? i was trying to check but i think my ignorance is making it a bit difficult. it seems lineage is a literal android fork, no? are you saying the same is true of mobian? (i dont know and don't care much about ubuntu touch). @clawfulneutral
@darcher thank you brother. its not a small thing, so i understand you're procrastinating. but i'm rooting for you and let me know if i can help in any way.

Enième «déclassification» des dossiers #JFK: derrière les écrans de fumées, «c’est le #Mossad qui a tué Kennedy» «Kennedy a menacé le Premier ministre #BenGourion», rappelle l’historien Martin #Sandler, qui a épluché les échanges tendus entre les deux hommes. Oubliez Lyndon Johnson, oubliez la CIA, oubliez Fidel Castro, parce que le Mossad tenait JFK pour responsable de la démission de David Ben Gourion.
Ben Gourion? • Le premier Premier ministre et fondateur d’Israël, avec Vladimir #Jabotinsky et l’utrasioniste révisionniste Bension #Netanyahou, grand-père de Benyamin. • Également le «père» de la bombe atomique israélienne et qui a ordonné une opération secrète pour voler la technologie #nucléaire à la #France de #DeGaulle. Autre décision de JFK qu’Israël ne lui a pas pardonné: forcer le Conseil sioniste américain, ancêtre de l’AIPAC à s'enregistrer comme agent étranger.

A reminder that the agreement established between Rubio and Bukele, to house "dangerous American [convicted] criminals" at CECOT "for a fee", began in March with the deportation of 261 people without trial.
They're focusing on immigrants now because you always go after low hanging fruit… first.
Once the precedent has been firmly established, has become standard practice—that people deemed unwelcome can be exported to foreign concentration camps, without society at large putting a stop to it—they'll turn to other groups.

Because only foreign agents work against Americans?
The history of America since 1963 is US elites working against Americans.
Years ago I decided the WEF looks like assets of the intelligence agencies, big business and academia agreeing to work together internationally. The marketing trick is that natives (of whichever country) believe the attack comes from outside, whereas their own traitorous elites back it.

I feel so awful. I have multiple panic attacks. I want to cry. My body feels like it is not mine. I want to quit but my legs are like noodles. I can't even get up.
I know it is all in my head (perhaps) but I really think people don't trust me anymore. I don't trust myself too.
Please don't send me any self harm alert. I am not thinking about that. I just want to vent.
If you really feel the need to quit your job, you might consider making a resignation letter, expressing why you're quitting, and proofread that at least 3 times.
Edit: Try to be polite and professional about it. And keep a copy for your own records, in case your boss might try talking lies and bullshit about you.

Israel is threatening to attack Iran's nuclear infrastructure under the guise that it is building nukes, which in theory would draw the United States into a regional war. In the event of a war, US forces would take the majority of the casualties and fighting instead of Israel.

After about 18 month of mostly push-ups I went on a spending spree this afternoon, it is time for the next level. Call it a mid life crisis if U want, I choose to embrace it.
So these are on the way. 125.5 kg (277 pounds) barbell included. I swapped the barbell for a black one, 1.8 meter, 5.9 feet, and I will repaint the red security arms black.
It will narrowly fit in my living room. But the collars in gold/yellow, I will not repaint those.
What happened today to Sen. Alex Padilla is what democrats have been doing to Pro Palestine people during the last two years. Or did you forget Kamala smilling and saying "I'm talking now" while protesters were Pushed, beat, and arrested for protesting a #genocide??? Karma is a bitch. #democratsweak
@gme Well, when that happened the people protesting were in INSTAGRAM after the fact explaining how they were kickout from the place by the police (or security staff I can't remember) with violence. But anyway during Biden/Kamala4genocide times there were dozens of videos showing protesters kicked out everywhere they protested, like they were criminals. Just like this Senator. Here I leave this nice video of the journalist Sam Husseini being dragged out FOR JUST ASKING about the genocide by #blinkenthebutcherofgaza. Include Max Blumenthal. #karmaisabitch #niehnmoller

I'm not trying to make excuses just genuinely want to know if my perception of what happened that day at the Kamala rally was wrong that's all.
I really would love to know how and why Israel has such a stronghold on western governments.
It certainly smells like some mind control psychological operation from the 1950s. And it's not just the US. Canada. The UK. Germany. France. Australia. The mental gymnastics that every politician there has to jump through to justify their unwavering support to a bunch of terrorists is maddening.
Almost makes me believe that all our politicians are a bunch of lizard people aliens from another planet hell-bent on world domination or something.
@gme The same day during the DNC: "Officers pushed and pulled the protesters to try to remove them from the area, at one point shoving one protester down a staircase leading to the entrance. Police also used pepper spray and fired projectiles containing chemical irritants.
Demonstrator Dani Noble said people came to the DNC to peacefully call on Democratic Party leadership to support a ceasefire in Gaza.
Instead, “we were met by police pulling on folks that are disabled or have chronic illnesses, pulling people to the ground in riot gear”, Noble said"
## What Happened After Kamala Harris Said "I'm Speaking" to Protesters at Her Rally
Incident Overview During a campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan, Vice President Kamala Harris was interrupted by a group of pro-Palestinian protesters who began chanting slogans such as “Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide! We won’t vote for genocide” and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and an arms embargo on Israel[6][8][9][10]. Harris responded by asserting, “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” echoing a phrase she became known for during the 2020 vice presidential debate[6][8][10]. Her supporters responded with applause and chants to drown out the protesters[8][10].
What Happened to the Protesters The protesters were escorted out of the rally by campaign staff and security personnel after their interruption[6][9]. This is a standard response at political events when disruptions occur, and there are no reports from the provided sources of any arrests or further altercations following their removal[6][9].
Protesters’ Perspective Two of the protesters, identified as Hamamy and Hakim, later spoke to Mother Jones about their motivations, stating that their goal was to pressure Harris to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and to highlight her support for Israel[9]. They acknowledged that they expected to be removed from the event and expressed that their main objective was to draw attention to their cause[9].
Aftermath and Broader Context The incident was widely covered in the media and became a talking point about Harris’s approach to handling protests on the campaign trail[2][3][6][7][8][9][10]. Harris has faced similar interruptions at other rallies, especially regarding the Gaza conflict, and has generally responded by affirming the right to protest while firmly redirecting the focus to her message[2][7].
Summary Table: Key Details | Event | What Happened to Protesters | Harris’ Response | Aftermath/Impact | |---------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------| | Detroit rally, Aug 2024 | Escorted out by staff | "I'm speaking" | Media coverage, no arrests noted | | Protesters’ motivation | Call for Gaza ceasefire | Affirmed right to protest | Protesters gave interviews |
Conclusion After Kamala Harris told the protesters "I'm speaking" at her Detroit rally, the protesters were escorted out by campaign personnel. There were no reports of further incident or arrests, and the protesters later discussed their actions publicly, emphasizing their intent to spotlight Gaza and U.S. policy[6][9][10]. Harris has continued to use such moments to reinforce her campaign messaging and her stance on protest and free speech[7][8].
I mean, even Mother Jones interviewed the activists (I just read the interview) that were removed that day and they didn't mention anything about being roughed up by anybody just an FYI.
I think it's important to always keep an open mind about Trump, about Palestine, about everything.
@gme Again, it wasn't just one time protesters interrupted Kamala or Biden or Blinken. The same day this happened there were more protesters there. To me remove someone cause they protest, it's not what democracy is about. There were people arrested and treated with wiolence by the security or the cops. I watch it live with my eyes. Don't need Mother Jones or CNN or SKY NEWS to clarify what I watched. My point is that what we are watching today Democrats did it before. And it's embarrassing to listen to this Senator acting like they were cool with protesters and now with Trump is bad.
Fair point. They all suck. People in power don't like to be challenged. No matter the country. No matter the political party. Democracy died a very long time ago.
I wonder if #ICE and #CBP realize that the #2A grants every person in this Country the "right to bear arms". Just like the #1A grants everyone the right to free speech and the #5A grants everyone the right not to testify against themself.
It's high-time we educated our immigrant communities and let them know they have a #2A right to defend their home and their family when it's being home-invaded by armed thugs.

A lot of people are recommending #Meshtastic for certain use cases like protests, which is awesome! Just please make sure to learn more about how to secure your device. Security is a process, not a product!
For example, while your Meshtastic device doesn't have an IMSI and does not communicate with cell towers, it does have a unique identifier that it broadcasts with every packet. If you associate that identifier with other data about you, such as geolocation or messages in public channels, or even by using the same device at home, you can be exposing yourself to similar risks as if you simply took your phone. Basically, burner phone rules apply.
