Mexican Restaurant's Authenticity Questioned After Experiencing Zero ICE Raids

"It's a bad look," said former patron Dan Billings. "How do you claim to serve authentic Mexican cuisine and your kitchen door hasn't even been broken down by ICE? It just doesn't add up. I'm taking my business over to Julio's, they're getting raided all the time. Just last week, ICE hit 'em right when I was getting my enchiladas. That's how you know it's good."

Queer folks in Hungary gave a big fuck-you to Viktor Orbán this weekend, flooding the streets of Budapest by the thousands for Pride. Despite bans, fines, and state surveillance, the community showed up loud, proud, and pissed — turning the 30th Budapest Pride into a flaming middle finger to repression.

Haven't really seen anyone talking about this. A fanatical convert to Talmudic Judaism crucified one Christian pastor and had plans to target more. He explicitly laid out his religious motive for doing this to "idolaters." The only mainstream coverage I've seen studiously ignored this aspect and made it seem the guy was just a random lunatic who crucifies people for no reason.

Soy cero de podcasts, me cuesta absorber información error no sea leyendo, pero quiero intentarlo. En parte porque estoy en fase de intentar no rumiar en algunos temas y necesito distraerme 😅

Me recomendáis podcasts en castellano o inglés que sean chulos? Me da igual el tema en principio.

Otra pregunta. Audiobooks en plataformas majas hay? O más o menos majas 😅

La voiture de ma maman est morte et elle en a besoin pour se déplacer. 🚗

Elle a pas beaucoup d'argent et cette situation l'insécurise ; elle cherche une occasion. 💸

Est-ce-que quelqu'un·e d'ici connaît quelqu'un·e de confiance qui se séparerait de sa voiture, pas diesel, pas trop de kilométrage ? (HDF, Oise, ou quelques heures en train...)

The government’s move to ban Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act is due to their effectiveness in disrupting genocide — and erodes the basis for dissent that all democratic societies need

#How three terrorist groups formed the Israeli Defence Forces | The Big Picture

Before the formation of the Israel Defense Forces in #1948, there were three underground Zionist militias - The Haganah, the Irgun and the Lehi.

They differed in tactics and beliefs, and at times fought with each other - but together they terrorised Palestinian villages and executed attacks and bombings against the British to force them to give up control of the land.

They blew up hotels in #Jerusalem, embassies in #Europe and assassinated a #UN mediator.

After #Israel was officiated as a #state - the three militias would create the #IDF - and their leaders would go on to form Israel’s government, become politicians, ambassadors and Prime Ministers.

And their dark #history would be #forgotten.

Eileen Brophy reshared this.

Israelis are literally just strafing crowds of starving people with machine guns and laughing about it and people are still like "it's antisemitic to point that out!"

Like, at this point the idea that Zionism is the same thing as Jewishness is *the most antisemitic idea in human history.*

Dead right.
Why doesn't Witkoff ask Netanyahu to stop buying F16s and bunker buster bombs. And as he's at it, ask him to sign the NPT and give up Israeli nukes? Why doesn't he do that instead? Or he could simply STFU

Rant to follow. Fedpost, perhaps.
Remember how those pallets of bricks would show up at 'peaceful protest' sites back in the early '20s? Somebody had to call 84 Lumber or wherever, and order those bricks.
Probably with a credit card. A little Gumshoe 101 work should reveal the source.
And all these clowns are doing their organizing on zogged-out social media. X, Facebook, and so forth. They are having signs and T shirts printed. Recall what we have learned over the last 20 years about surveillance.. Most of those clowns are probably just logging in from home, like I am doing here and now. (hi Graf, I can explain. no really)... Anyway,

'Türkiye Solu'nun önemli bir bölümü 'İsrail-Filistin konusu'nda cahildir...

Prof. Gazi Çağlar

Türkiye solunun çok önemli bir bölümü İsrail-Filistin konusunda cahildir:

  1. Yahudilerin Filistin’de yüz yıllardır yaşadığını ve tarihlerini bilmez veya görmez.
  2. Filistin diye adlandırılan bölgenin büyük bölümünün Ürdün’de olduğunu, Ürdün’ün İsrail’e açılan savaşta daha fazla bölümüne el koyduğunu görmez.

    1. yüzyıl sonrası 1948’e kadarki süreci bilmez.
      Buraya önemli ve hatta çoğunlukla sosyalistlerin Rusya’dan geldiğini, yerleştiğini, satın alınan topraklara sosyalist toplumun nüveleri olacak Kibbuz’lar kurduklarını, bu Kibbuz’lara İtalya faşizmi ile, Hitler faşizmi ile çalışan ve Filistin adına konuştuğunu iddia edenlerin kurdukları çetelerin saldırılarını, cevap niteliğinde Yahudi savunma gruplarıyla çatışmalar yaşandığını bilmez, görmez.

You know what I miss in word processors: Show Control Codes.

That gave you everything you needed to know why this thing won't do what you want it to and why this other thing is stuck and you can't move it. It also made it so much easier to troubleshoot inserting images.

There were no secrets.

Microsoft Word keeps secrets and I don't like it.

@Blueteamsherpa It's part of the way there. What I really want is Markdown but with all of Word's advanced features.
Word doesn't show me control codes for things like italics, bold, tables, URLs.
I tend to use Obsidian or VS Code for first drafts in pure Markdown and then copy it over to Word to finalize it with stuff like headers, footers, page numbers, table of contents, etc.

I used to use OneNote just for its ability to organize ideas but its so aggressive with the genAI crap that I'm looking for alternatives.
Also, I feel like OneNote hasn't had any meaningful updates or added features in years. It's still stuck in 2010.

I recently saw a tourism ad from #Quebec #Canada that nearly made me cry. A visitor is checking in at a hotel. When the clerk asks where he’s traveling from, he looks ashamed and whispers “I’m American”. The clerk presses a button under the desk, which I initially thought was a panic button. Instead it unlocks a panel allowing her to come out from behind the desk, and she gives the guy a big hug. I nearly lost it. I wish I could move to Canada. This meant a lot to me.❤️

Kneecap has produced this video. As they say, its not about Kneecap. Its about the genocide.

Zionism no different from ISIS here. Why is Zionism not classed as a terrorist ideology? It's beyond me.
