As Joyce Vance reminds us,
"Today, it has been 61 years since a white supremacist’s bomb went off at 10:22 a.m. at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing four young girls who were getting ready for church services."

There are only 3 apps that #WINE needs to make sure they work out of the box when the user tries to install them (without hacks or complications). But the project is lacking vision and direction to know it.
1. #Photoshop CS5 (pre-subscription version)
2. Affinity Photo (due to #Gimp sucking)
3. #CapCut video editor (due to #DavinciResolve having too many limitations on #Linux).
That's it. That's 95% of your WINE "application" userbase right there.

#FourYearsAgoToday #AreYouBetterOff
September 15, 2020 – During an ABC News town hall, Trump maintained that the coronavirus would “disappear.” Apparently referring to “herd immunity,” Trump said, “You’ll develop, you’ll develop herd — like a herd mentality. It’s going to be, it’s going to be herd-developed, and that’s going to happen.” Trump also faulted Biden for not instituting a national mandate on masks. Biden, however, does not hold public office.

September 15, 2017 – Following a terrorist attack on the London subway, Donald Trump responded to the event by propping up his travel ban. He also falsely suggested in a series of tweets that authorities had identified those responsible, and that those people had recruited others online. British Prime Minister Theresa May rebuked Trump’s speculative claims.

Can you read Latvian, or you can share this with someone who can? If so, perhaps you can help me.
I have 68 archive documents from the Latvian National History Museum, describing traditional farmhouse brewing, dated 1925-1943. But I can’t read them and need the text translated.
The dots on the map show where the documents are from. If you can help, please contact me (e.g via email to larsga@garshol.priv.no). I will send you a document. They’re mostly short (1-2 pages), the longest is 7 pages.

"Today, as church bells ring across my city and people mourn the loss of young lives and condemn the evil men who made it possible, this country is at risk of repeating that history. Just like violence against Black people was often justified by lies about crimes they had committed, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are spreading lies about Haitian immigrants—lies that are so ridiculous they would be laughable if their potential impact wasn’t so deadly serious."

That’s what domestic terrorism is: ideologically driven crimes used to intimidate or coerce a civilian population and to influence policy or conduct of government. That’s the ultimate irony of Trump’s 'Make America Great Again' slogan."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •Jemar Tisby reminds readers of the threats of violence and murder that Charles Morgan Jr., a white lawyer in Birmingham, Alabama, received when he spoke out about the silent (and sometimes active) complicity of "good" white citizens and church members with the violence of the church bombings.
This is our history, and it's imperative that we face it now.

But that’s precisely what Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance did during a Sunday appearance on CNN’s State of the Union. Vance acknowledged that he 'create[d] stories' about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, supposedly stealing and eating people’s pets."

in reply to William Lindsey • • •As NBC News reports, Trump advisor Tim Murtaugh defends Trump's telling lies about Haitian immigrants because this allows immigration to "be talked about," and another unnamed Trump advisor repeats, "Immigration should be talked about," and Trump accomplished this by lying about and targeting Haitians.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •Note the shocking amoral heart of this argument by Republican officials: if their leaders lie boldly about a targeted community of immigrants, knowing as they spread vicious lies that they are both violating the truth and exposing hapless human beings to violence, this is all to the good, if it focuses the conversation on immigration.

in reply to William Lindsey • • •Merrill Kaplan notes that "the pet-eating rumor is just the latest iteration of a legend that has long attached to assorted immigrant groups in the US." In the 1890s, it was used to target recent German immigrants. And:
"In the 1980s, Asian immigrants (Chinese, Vietnamese, Hmong) were accused of stealing and eating pets in Eau Claire, Wisconsin…"

in reply to William Lindsey • • •"The bottom line of the shoe salesman’s very public narratives against immigrant groups is this: I simply don’t think that Trump would do this if he didn’t think that this would work with enough people. And it just might, to be honest.
These narratives also function to distract from other things."

I do dip toes to check on the yanks here (switch my filter to 'warn' not 'hide') and there, but it's way better for my mental health when I can filter posts like this out.
