I've been involved in coordinating legal support for people arrested at protests for many years now. Last night, I witnessed the mass arrest of anti-ICE protestors in San Francisco.
If you know someone who was arrested at a protest in the Bay, have them contact Legal Solidarity Bay Area at (510) 250-1700 for support when they are able. San Francisco does not use cash bail, and people are usually released on their own recognizance.

The israeli-american genocide of the Palestinian people continues. It’s not just israel. It was never just israel.
“‘This is an administration that is committed to Palestinian erasure, both physical and political,’ Elgindy said. ‘The signs were there even in the first Trump term, which nominally supported a Palestinian ‘state’ that was shorn of all sovereignty and under permanent Israeli control. At least now they’ve abandoned the pretense.’
Yousef Munayyer, head of Palestine/Israel Program at the Arab Center Washington DC, said Huckabee was merely articulating what US policy has long demonstrated in practice. ‘Mike Huckabee is saying out loud what US actions have been saying for decades and across different administrations,’ he said. ‘Whatever commitments have been made in statements about a Palestinian state over time, US policy has never matched those stated commitments and only undercut them.’”

Auf einer Demo am Montag in Hannover, welche sich gegen die Festnahme von Greta Thunberg und den anderen Aktivist:innen richtete, wurde uns von der Polizei verboten „Kriegsverbrecher Israel” zu rufen.
Nun, bei sehr vielen solcher pauschalisierenden Sprüchen bin Ich dabei das sie nicht wirklich zielführend sind, aber verboten? Ich meine, ist die große Debatte rundum Völkermord nicht das „kein Gericht” diesen bestätigt und anerkannt habe? Beim Fall von den Kriegsverbrechen wurde gegen Benjamin Netanjahu (Premierminister) und Yoav Gallant (damaliger Verteidigungsminister) ein internationaler Haftbefehl gegen beide ausgestellt damit sich diese aufgrund von nachgewiesenen Kriegsverbrechen in Den Haag rechtfertigen.
Ob es ein Gericht entscheidet oder nicht, es ist illegal in Deutschland zu sagen. Wenn man das sieht, so scheint die lächerliche Begründung das es erstmal ein Gericht entscheiden soll bevor man es Genozid nennen darf (eine Bedingung welche zu keinem anderen Genozid in der Geschichte so herrschte) lediglich als vorgeschoben. Man soll es nicht aussprechen und gerade ist der Fakt das es noch kein Gericht explizit als Genozid nennt der legitimste mit dem man Menschen überzeugen kann. Wenn der IGH es als Genozid anerkennt, dann würde es einen anderen Grund geben. Gleiches mit den Kriegsverbrechen.

The reason they minimize this is that it's easier to diminish a life-saving humanitarian aid ship as a "selfie yacht" and a "publicity stunt" when there's a known celebrity on board. That ship was there to save lives; the very lives which Israel wants to end. Israel (Mossad) is the king of propaganda (reigning alongside the Kremlin) and gaslighting.

"Und dann ist da noch die Frage des anhaltenden Genozid. Ich wünschte, wir könnten einen Scheinwerfer auf diese Progressiven richten und sie fragen: Ist #Genozid für dich keine rote Linie?
Glaubst du wirklich, dass die politische Linke in Nordamerika oder #Europa, wenn sie an der Macht wäre, Israels Genozid an den Palästinenser:innen nicht ermöglicht oder unterstützt hätte?
Kürzlich habe ich gesehen, wie ein weiterer progressiver Politiker mit einer grossen Plattform sagte, dass Trumps andauernde Horrorshow ein Beweis dafür sei, dass wir alle mehr hätten tun sollen, um Kamala Harris zu wählen.

'What Madleen carried most was not aid. It was refusal — refusal to normalize genocide and Gaza’s forced isolation.
This kind of solidarity does not arrive through empty speeches. It comes through risk. It comes through people choosing to stand in the space between power and its consequences — choosing to be present, to bear witness, when the world has been told to look away."

edit: I'm using Fedora Workstation 42!
I really like the ability to just search "sleep", "shutdown", "restart", etc. Switching between windows and opening search using either the super key or a three finger swipe up is super handy, on Windows the button opens the start menu (where the search is horrible) and a three finger swipe up can open app switcher, where you have to hold your three fingers to go to another app.
Using GNOME extensions to see power usage, CPU usage, memory usage, etc. is very useful. Weird that the "extension list" addon isn't a thing that's on by default. Feel like being able to see all your extensions is a really important part of having extensions. Being able to see the clock at the top took a bit getting used to but makes so much more sense than having it tucked in a corner. I also like the integrated calendar, much better than Window's version where you are unable to see any of your events, not even as a dot!
Using dnf and flatpak to install programs is very smooth and I like being able to update all my programs at once with just "sudo dnf update && flatpak update"! Being able to see the dependencies and progress bars and download speeds is really helpful too. I don't need to search for programs anymore because of a thing called "fuzzy search". It's like magic!
GNOME's UI looks much cleaner than Windows, everything is actually cohesive. It's not a mix of flat and glass and clear and ancient. It's all adwaita. (that's what you call it, right?)
Something weird was not having the minimise and maximise buttons. I had to enable those myself, which is a bit odd. Now that it is enabled it works fine.
I also really like being able to easily customise themes (everforest) and icons (Papirus!). And if GNOME is considered "not very customisable" in the linux world, KDE, Cinnamon, etc. must be even more customisable! I'm happy with GNOME though, so I probably won't switch DE anytime soon. Maybe when I get a new computer I could try out KDE.
App compatibility was no problem. All the apps I used before (thunderbird, obsidian, joplin, vscodium, godot, etc.) all have linux versions, and the ones that don't (like SumatraPDF and AIMP) have linux alternatives. Okular and Gapless has been working great!
There were very few issues, but there were some nonetheless. OBS Studio footage was very choppy as hardware decoding wasn't working, and I had to dig deep into forums to install drivers for my intel igpu. Now it works fine, so that's good! I also had an issue with a VPN app, but they support an app called "Clash Verge". They only note the Windows and Mac versions on their site, but clash verge has a linux app too, and it works quite well!
I don't play many games, mostly Minecraft and some retro titles. mGBA works fine on linux, and Minecraft java edition supports linux. I've also tried a bunch of linux games like SuperTuxKart and Xonotic and, considering they were made around a decade ago or so (I think) they were really fun! My other games ran fine with Steam installed, Proton and Wine makes them run fine!
I'll be sticking with the penguin as it's fun, playful, and is much cuter than both the window and the apple. 😁
Many of these things are down to the distro. So which one did you go with?
I didn't see you mention anywhere what you picked. Seems like Fedora or something Fedora based?

@polariseraI worked in a lab and tested CoVID. It definitely is a virus, a mutation from another cold virus. Mutations happen in viruses all the time, it is a natural process.
I don't share the concerns of CoVID I often hear from the right. It was a global pandemic, people were getting sick and dying, what else were we supposed to do if not take a vaccine and do shut-downs?
Maybe the shut-downs went on too long in some places, but we had never managed a situation like this before and politicians and government are trying to weigh the consequences of millions of people dying, I'd rather have an overly cautious approach to an under cautious one.
