For the protests Trump is hoping for one of two outcomes:

1. The protests escalate and he seizes power just like Hitler did: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
2. People roll over, stay silent and comply with the administration out of fear.

If fact I wonder if #1 would be more ideal for Trump because it would be a unifying cause for Republicans who are currently divided and soon face economic uncertainty. Remember that Trump's polling was worst in April during times of greatest economic uncertainty. However let's not give him either of those. Let's humiliate Trump by making all the people he brought in, in hopes of escalating useless and bored. Imagine the pictures of them standing around with nothing to do. It will foil the well used dictator playbook for seizing power.

The reality is a vast, vast majority of the protests are going to be peaceful no matter what. The problem is that the media even the mainstream media will focus on any violence there is so we need we really need to be as perfect as we can so let's do everything we can to ensure that every single protest remains as peaceful as possible and also take charge of the narrative too.

What we need to do is protest peacefully and lawfully, be a little more spread out, stay away from situations that are violent. I'd also recommend staying away from police and military. Use the time to expose Trump's corruption and educate people and bring new people to the movement and maybe even help register people to vote. By building a broad peaceful coalition we can reach even those who are stuck in echo chambers where they will only see what little violence there is and not notice the peaceful protests. The only way to break through is to protest peacefully in your city so they can see that protests are peaceful or get previously neutral people involved in protesting who will talk to their friends who will in-turn talk to their friends and so on eventually reaching those in echo chambers.

I'd recommend bringing American flags, say we love our country, we believe ALL Americans have equal rights and that we support the constitution and upholding American tradition like separation of power, that no one is above the law and that there are no kings in America. The more people who do that the more chances the media will be forced to show this which disrupts the false narrative that we're not patriotic, in fact I feel we're way more patriotic than the people who still worship traitors like the confederates, those who want to destroy our country and those who feel that only Americans who have the right skin color, gender and socioeconomic status deserve rights.

Online and in person we must strongly push back against those who call for violence, balkanization or civil war. These things will be devastating to everyone. I can tell you that I'm a blue dot in a red state, I have lots of friends and family members who are as well. Nearly all of us are too poor and too deeply rooted in our communities to move. This could literally be deadly for us and millions of innocent people who don't support what's going on now and even if not deadly lots of us could one day be subject to a oppressive regime in a spin-off of part of America, that would be horrible. If we make it to the midterms we can win enough elections and make our country better in all 50 states peacefully and legally.

Remember: broad peaceful coalition, bring more and more people over, eventually even some Trump supporters will see the light and we'll resolve this peacefully. I know we can do it!

PS: Hands-off put together a list of articles about de-escalation training here: actionnetwork.org/user_files/u…

The YouTube link in the PDF wasn't stripped of tracking so use this link to watch their de-escalation training: youtu.be/_Pgmn9QRr48

I also saw an interesting idea of having monitors in high visibility vests and using whistles whenever they see even initial signs of violence, in the original suggestion they advised sitting but I read some persuasive comments that mentioned sitting down could be dangerous, instead I think leaving is the best approach.

Internet providers are increasingly tasked in the role of anti-piracy enforcers and instructed to block pirate websites and services. In Europe, court-ordered blockades are now commonplace, but ISPs are cautious when it comes to further expansion. In a recent submission to the EU Commission, EuroISPA, which represents over 3,300 ISPs, complains about "disproportionate" blocking measures, as recently seen in Italy, Spain and elsewhere.

The Israeli army has offered five conflicting stories to deny its role in the killing of 31 starving civilians and the injury of over 200 others at the US-Israeli aid distribution point in Rafah. The massacre, known as the Witkoff Massacre, has triggered global outrage.

• Narrative 1: “Nothing happened.”

Initially, Israel claimed that no incident occurred near the aid center. This was quickly disproven by eyewitness videos and images showing bodies scattered near aid trucks.

• Narrative 2: “Something happened—but not near the aid center.”

After mounting pressure, the army admitted there had been an incident. However, it claimed the event happened far from the aid site and had no connection to Israeli forces. The army then released a video showing normal aid distribution in a different area.

• Narrative 3: “Soldiers fired in the air only.”

The third claim was that Israeli soldiers fired warning shots into the air, not at people. This contradicted medical reports and survivor testimonies that confirmed victims had direct gunshot wounds to the head, chest, and abdomen.

• Narrative 4: “No one was hurt.”

In its fourth version, the army insisted that no casualties resulted from the incident. But the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) later confirmed that 21 dead bodies had arrived at its field hospital in Rafah.

• Narrative 5: “Hamas militants were responsible.”

Finally, Israel published a drone video claiming Hamas fighters shot civilians. However, the footage was filmed in Khan Younis—not Rafah—and showed looting by gangs backed by Israel. The clip lacked any evidence of a gunfight.

Rami Abdu, director of Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, called the video “a scandal.” He said, “The footage showed gangs stealing aid, not Hamas shooting civilians. Israel is trying to hide its crime with lies.”

sarà rottaggio imprevisto, quando continuo e inspiegabile

In questi giorni, il rotting sta lievemente imperversando. Ahimè!!! A questo punto della mattina sono già le 12 passate, e io non ho ancora fatto nulla di rilevante, il che è greve e preoccupante, visto il contesto ultimo presente. Un sintomo evidente della cosa è che qui i post stanno uscendo a fatica, in questi ultimi giorni, ma appunto non perché io stia facendo molto altro di intrigante; i minuti giusto scorrono così, senza che sia possibile capire precisamente il perché. 💀

Ieri mattina addirittura mi sono in qualche modo svegliata quasi alle 13, al punto che ho dovuto zompare colazione e ho direttamente pranzato, perché ops. Questo è accaduto perché, durante la notte (o meglio, la mattina, visto che sarà successo al massimo qualche quarto d’ora prima del mio vero risveglio), ho sognato di svegliarmi ed alzarmi mentre che fossero le 11 e qualcosa, come altre mattine… di conseguenza, evidentemente il mio cervello credeva che io fossi già perfettamente resuscitata e, allora mi ha fatta rimanere fisicamente e mentalmente lì nel letto, finché non è arrivato mio padre probabilmente preoccupandosi sotto sotto di se fossi morta. 🦗

Sempre meglio di ieri sera o stamattina, però, visto che rispettivamente nel primo caso mi era venuto mal di testa senza fare niente (ma almeno sono andata a dormire un po’ prima), e nel secondo mi è salita l’allergia forte con il muco potente e persino la sciorda pesante. E, appunto, è un pochino imbarazzante che, nonostante io mi sia svegliata alle 10 stamattina, non ho ancora fatto praticamente nulla per cui valga la pena che questa giornata consumi le mie energie vitali (cioè, per cui valga la pena non essere rimasta nel letto fino ad ora di pranzo anche stavolta, ma in questo caso volontariamente). 🥱
Vabbè, in sintesi ho il presentimento che in parte questa possa essere l’estate. Non che io l’abbia mai desiderata in effetti, a differenza di altre persone che prima la vogliono ma poi quando arriva si lamentano, quindi tipo non è colpa mia se mi fa un pochino questo effetto qui, però è comunque seccante e per certi aspetti problematico. Se avete idee per ridurre la marciscenza però, compatibilmente a quello che posso fare e che mi piace o potrebbe piacermi, accetto ovviamente suggerimenti… 🙏

I've felt compelled to post; it just works!

I've got a pc which is over a decade old; I've only ever used Microsoft with my main OS on that machine being windows 7 and then windows 10.
With the new requirements for windows 11 being what they were I was considering installing it anyway with some workarounds.
My computer appeared to be getting slower, I was annoyed with all of the bloat which goes along with the Microsoft OS, the constant reminders to "finish setting up my device" and use one drive. All of this was a bit too much for me.

I figured I'd have a go at installing a Linux OS. I'd ran Ubuntu years and years ago as an experiment on an evening older pc and it was very much sub par, it looked nice, it was a pain to do anything and didn't play any of the games I wanted at the time.

A little bit of research told me that Linux mint may be a good option. I also read that dual booting can be difficult. So I just backed up my data, and installed it on the hard disk.

It was mostly seamless, I had issues with my graphics driver, which meant I couldn't click the buttons to install mint & crashes, when running off the live disk to see what the os was like. This was part of the reason I just installed it on the hard drive and didn't go through with a 'testing' phase.

Once that was resolved by installing the Nvidia driver I could use mint. This was made quite easy as it was just a few clicks in the gui and made really obvious to see. And the Mint does everything I need it to!

Gaming appears to have come a long, long way, I ran Civ V to test and it worked.

My Bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected without issue.

The libre office suite is great to use and I've found it similar to the Microsoft equivalents.

My computer appears to be faster. I now realise that it was actually just the additional demands of the Microsoft OS on my machine which slowed it.

I have a multi screen set up, this simply just worked, the only tweek I made was selecting my main monitor.

To top it all, and perhaps the most surprising thing for me (and the reason for the post) is the printer just worked. Like, printers never just work. It's just plugged in, recognised and I could print. No additional set up needed.

I'm short, Linux has progressed so much over the years. I thank all those who have worked on it to make it such a great option. It will be my main OS going forward and I'll advocate for it. I'll also ensure that my kids are running a Linux OS when they have computers of their own.

So, if you're reading this and unsure about Linux, don't be. It's great and easy to set up, works flawlessly.
