Last week's assassination of Minnesota's Democrat former House Speaker was the logical sequel to that of the United Healthcare CEO


Those who cheered on the latter murder should now be examining their consciences.

The historical record is very clear: in politics, violence begets violence. This story is only beginning and it may not end well for America.

On top of all the barbarism that #Israel is engaging in in #Gaza and now in #Iran, here's some news that you don't hear about:

"Israeli occupation forces (#IOF) demolished multiple residential buildings on Tuesday in the Syrian town of Al-Hamidiyah, located in the northern countryside of #Quneitra near the occupied Golan Heights."

The fault of the residents is that their homes are close to a newly established military base.

"In general undocumented immigrants don’t take good jobs away from native-born Americans. By and large they take jobs the native-born don’t want or would only take at much higher wages. This means that immigrants are complements, not substitutes, for native workers. They increase, not reduce, native-born wages. And mass deportation, if it really gets going, will be an economic as well as a human catastrophe."

Gerald Ford was not on the '72 ticket, Spiro Agnew was. They got rid of Agnew first, and Ford replaced him. Then they got rid of Nixon, and Ford replaced him. Gerald Ford is the only President of the US to have never been elected.

His birth name was Leslie King. Which means, America's only unelected President was born a King.

And now a nuclear powered aircraft carrier named after him is mobilized to West Asia today.

What did Ford do to be honored with such a vessel? 🧐

On a whim, thought I'd try upgrading my #WSL #Ubuntu instance to a later release in hopes that updating from #Python 3.2 would make #Marimo actually work. do-release-upgrade actually worked pretty seamlessly, and then the new bullshit Canonical decided was a good idea reared its head. pip3 install marimo? "THIS IS AN EXTERNALLY MANAGED PYTHON, install things through packages instead!" (there is no package).

Guess it's finally time to learn how to use #archlinux

Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds


The Threads team at Meta has spent the past year working on supporting the broader fediverse and social web, and is launching its biggest integrations yet: a new dedicated feed for fediverse posts, and a way to search for fediverse users inside of Threads.

Starting today, if you’ve turned on fediverse sharing in Threads, there will be a new section at the top of your Following feed that takes you to a list of posts from folks you follow on Mastodon, Flipboard, or wherever else you’ve connected your Threads account. It’s very much a separate feed, which Meta software engineer Peter Cottle tells me is deliberate.

La dependencia de las grandes plataformas digitales, como Google, no es sólo técnica, también es política, cultural y hasta emocional. Por eso el informe 'Cortar el hilo' es una investigación, realizada por @mayfirst , que documenta los principales obstáculos para dejar de utilizar servicios de las grandes tecnológicas y formas de transitar hacia otros caminos más sanos.

My brother is currently in a state prison that specializes the the severely mentally ill. His sentence is up next month and he will be released.
They have been trying to get him into a supervised living place for weeks but they have so far not been able to.
He's 1600ish miles from me. I'm going to fly there and pick him up. Right now, he can't leave the state.
i could rent him an apartment but if he stops his meds he gets violent.
We need more places for people like this.

I've had at least 2 coworkers that kept their family member at home.
One was her mother and she only had help when she worked (night shift-12 hrs). About did her in.
Another guy was early 60's, married another coworker. She's developed very early Alz in her late 50's. He quit, sold his house, downsized and took care of her until hospice. Had friends relieve him, but too far away for me when I had little kids.
Almost have put a chip on them.
Such a terrible thing!

It’s awful. So far we are just getting started. But she was diagnosed at 67 (now she’s 70). Had trouble before then, but my sister wanted her in a home. I guess she just couldn’t do it. I’m not saying it’s easy, but I feel abandoning her in a home now just isn’t right. Though there will be a time for it. I don’t think I can do all the medical stuff and I don’t believe I have it in me to do diapers. I have limits… I think!

Acting head of civil rights agency defends decisions undercutting transgender workers


The acting chair of the federal agency that enforces workers rights acknowledged Wednesday that transgender workers are protected under civil rights laws but defended her decision to drop lawsuits on their behalf, saying her agency is not independent and must comply with President Donald Trump’s orders.

Andrea Lucas, who was first appointed to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2020 and elevated to chair in January, spoke at her confirmation hearing at the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Her nomination to serve another five-year term as an EEOC commissioner requires Senate confirmation, though whether she stays on as chair will be up to Trump.

Republican senators praised her leadership, especially her commitment to rolling back Biden-era regulations and guidance on gender-identity rights, which Lucas has argued overstepped the EEOC’s authority.

It was only a matter of time before the Trump administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants reached the wine community. That happened Thursday morning, June 12, at about 5:30 Pacific time as ICE agents seized the owner of a vineyard management firm as he left his home in Newberg, Oregon, in the heart of the Willamette Valley wine country. - Dave MacIntyre

The mass denial of the covid pandemic in healthcare is truly horrific. People we trust to take care of our health are those putting many lives at risk and contributing to a decline in people's health. These are acts of omission (not masking, not addressing the fact that SARS-CoV2 infections are a threat to people's health) and commission (possible nosocomial transmissions, spreading misinformation).

"Netanyahu and Trump are simply lying when they say they want to help the Iranian people. Israel is not bombing and spreading terror and death to fight for women’s rights. It is bombing and spreading terror and death because Netanyahu thinks war and death are popular in Israel and will allow him to hold onto power."
