They are not law enforcement officers

They are masked thugs, randomly attacking and killing innocent people inside the United States.

They are terrorists.

If these terrorists were suspected to be from any foreign country, we'd be bombing that country into oblivion, or perhaps some other random country that was convenient to bomb at the time.



Hello, greetings. @pfefferle
My friend, is ActivityPub no longer compatible with Friends? I am using the latest version, but when I try to add friends from the Friends plugin, I get a 503 error.
I have checked, and it seems that when I disable ActivityPub, the error is resolved.
Could you please let me know if this is a bug, or if they are no longer compatible?
in reply to MaximilianXavie

this is a bug! there is no intention to have these two not working together anymore!
in reply to Matthias Pfefferle

Ok, thank you for your attention and response. I will stay attentive to the new version of Friends and its release. If possible, I would appreciate being notified when it becomes available.

Went biking, noticed fog settling in, came home with a headache. Checked the AQI and it's Moderate. Note to self, maybe don't go out and exercise when it's that bad. New indicator to watch.
in reply to Sen the Professional

Yeah, it's good to look into. There are some chemicals that look and act like fog rolling in. Exposure symptoms might not seem too problematic at first so people don't end up seeking medical help until it's too late.


"Settler-only IDF units functioning as ‘vigilante militias’ in West Bank" - Guardian

The term vigilante implies they are upholding the law, even if in an illegal way

Someone just breaking the law isn't a vigilante, they are a criminal

If they work for the IDF they work for the state, and are not vigilante. They are war criminals

But why should the Guardian know what words mean? I'm expecting too much clearly

in una elezione in Texas I repubblicani sono passati da ÷17 a -14!!

A Democrat won a state legislative special election in a district that President Trump carried by 17 percentage points, unnerving Republicans in Texas and beyond.

per me in america quei 2 singoli partiti, non sono per niente votabili. Ci vorrebbe un cambio di rotta verso un terzo partito che facesse da scossone o apripista per una svolta generazionale dell'America...
in reply to quinta - Stefano Quintarelli

se anche il Texas diventa democratico significa che Trump ha davvero passato il segno. Fossi repubblicano comincerei a cagarmi addosso e comincerei a pensare come rendere inoffensivo Trump e la sua cricca.

New reports suggest US authorities have investigated claims that Meta can bypass WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption to read private messages.
The allegations stem from a recent lawsuit involving whistleblowers, though Meta has dismissed the claims as categorically false. Security experts remain skeptical, noting that such a breach would be a mathematical impossibility if the protocol is truly end-to-end—but the investigation alone is raising fresh questions about big tech privacy.

This is clearly an AI image, and they literally included its prompt as alt-text. This website seems suspicious. Beware.
in reply to Dave Rahardja

yes I used an ai image. I did put it in the alt text as well. I didn't hide that fact. I don't know how to make good photos yet. Yes my computer skills are lacking. You are rude. You could have just asked.

US democratic backsliding looks very fast if you mark the start at 2025. But it’s been going since 2017, so I disagree with@donmoyn.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @jburnmurdoch.ft.com@bsky.brid.gy etc. Abuse of emergency powers, normalization of bribery, de facto death of War Powers Act all term 1. Immunity case in the interim.

New from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries. This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧵donmoynihan.substack.com/p/autocracy-...
in reply to Nicholas Grossman

To those marking the backsliding earlier: Whatever your criticisms of Bush, he stepped down without question and conducted a smooth transition. As president, he sought and got Congressional authorization for both Afghanistan and Iraq. Doesn’t mean this came out of nowhere, but it’s not the same.
in reply to Nicholas Grossman

it's not the same, but he paved a nice wide freeway for everything we are seeing. The formation of DHS, the Patriot act farce expanded this miliatrized surveillance state "for our sAfEtY!" oh and that whole lying -lying- about why we needed to invade a sovereign country thing. Habeas corpus was FIRST denied and torture was used at Guantanamo. It was different… just like a seedling is different from a sapling is different from a tree. But it's the same.
