Resistance to state terror, particularly ICE terror, is growing deeper and wider across the country. On January 23rd Minneapolis will be at the forefront of this fightback, launching the first city-wide mass strike in response to an ICE occupation of the city.
Black Rose/Rosa Negra’s (BRRN) External Education Committee (EEC) offers this editorial statement on what appears to be the opening of a new phase in the struggle against ICE.
by BRRN External Education Committee
On January 23rd, Minnesotans will make history with a mass strike demanding ICE out of their city. Teachers, healthcare staff, transit drivers, communication technicians, and other workers will stay off the job; faith leaders will rally congregants into the streets; and rapid response networks will redouble their efforts to thwart ICE from terrorizing Latino and Somali neighbors. Shutting down the city demonstrates the need for large-scale, disruptive direct action to beat back the violent advance of authoritarianism in our workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods.
In Minneapolis and around the country, the George Floyd Rebellion looms large in memory. The burning of the Third Precinct exposed how vulnerable the state’s repressive infrastructure is when confronted by overwhelming numbers. Strategically, however, the Rebellion showed the limits of large scale mobilization, even as it took on an insurrectionary character at times. Mass organizations such as tenant unions and popular assemblies in neighborhoods; student unions in schools; and militant labor unions in workplaces act to embed, sustain, and sharpen diffuse popular fury into popular power.
Without independent mass organizations that allow us to develop our own strategy to determine where social movements go next, even the most antagonistic street movements have shown themselves susceptible to pacification by NGOs, union bureaucracies, and the Democratic Party.
Millions of people disgusted with the Trump administration’s fascist maneuvers have learned vital lessons about sustaining struggle. As we highlighted in our recent conjunctural analysis, spectacular, symbolic demonstrations that released social discontent have been displaced by everyday people developing and expanding infrastructure for defense. Angelinos rapidly spread pioneering responses to National Guard and ICE deployments in Southern California during summer 2025. Chicagoans, Memphians, and now Minnesotans have adapted those tactics, techniques, and strategies to protect their neighbors against ICE surges in their cities.
Rather than standing as fodder for symbolic arrest in front of police lines, people have learned how to throw sand into the gears of state machinery. Direct action blocks ICE from kidnapping their friends and family, and it exemplifies to others how they can shape history. These actions, and others like them, have increasingly gained at least tepid support from local and state officials. Nods to backing mass civil disobedience have only come after everyday people have acted and won. The political class cannot and will not lead us; its members fearfully trail movements they anticipate “getting out of hand.”
By not just declaring, but actually building toward a general strike, workers, neighbors, and students in Minneapolis demonstrate popular power in action. This approach doesn’t rely on political brokers to act on their behalf, nor does it resort to anonymous flyers or social media posts expecting spontaneous social explosions.
A general strike takes sincere, courageous, and widespread solidarity. It takes mass and political organizations – many with which we may share sharp disagreements – working in tandem to turn out their membership and allies to buy nothing, suspend work, and disrupt business as usual. It takes dominated peoples collaborating, stumbling, and striving together.
Nothing should take away from this momentous political occasion. But we would be remiss if we didn’t forewarn that one day of widespread disruption will not throw the brakes on accelerating authoritarianism. Instead, we must sustain widespread disruption and take total control of our cities: our workplaces, neighborhoods, schools, and social institutions, of, by, and for ourselves. How might that look, and what are the steps to expand Minnesotans’ burgeoning power?
Drawing on experiences from the last two decades, including recent work to fight back ICE, we offer the following suggestions and insights we think can carry the budding popular power brewing in Minneapolis one step closer to the social revolution that will rid us of this rot.
Consolidate organizations for the long term: Like elsewhere, Minneapolis has grown neighborhood-based communications and networks to warn one another about ICE’s presence. Sustaining their efforts will require durable, rooted structures, like neighborhood councils, defense committees, and popular assemblies, that can take up other fights.
Raise interim demands: Workplace policies that keep out ICE can become longer-term horizons to kick out all police forces. Demanding hotels in our neighborhoods refuse contracts with ICE impedes their ability to operate. Setting clear goals focuses energies to fight like hell and keep on the pressure.
Build a culture of mass resistance: Slogans, propaganda, study groups, and more must reiterate it is us – not bosses, politicians, administrators, or any other member of the dominating class – who can save or take care of us.
Printflyers and pamphletsto share with your friends and in your workplaces, neighborhoods, and schools.
Grow principled networks of antifascist, anticapitalist, and anti-state resistance: All who stand shoulder-to-shoulder on 1/23 reject the state paramilitaries terrorizing and attacking their communities. The Trump administration’s policies are not an aberration but an outgrowth of the US empire in decay. To stop these forces once and for all, we will need to tear out its roots: capitalist exploitation and state oppression.
Workers, neighbors, and students in Minnesota are navigating uncharted waters in our modern political landscape. Their resolve shows that everyday people can stand down the federal government. As ICE terror surges, we will do all that we can to make one, two, a thousand coordinated stands in Minneapolis and wherever the state reaches its hands, and we can beat it back, once and for all.
Il comportamento prosociale, ovvero l'atto di aiutare gli altri, è essenziale per la vita sociale, tuttavia i fattori ambientali spontanei che innescano tale comportamento rimangono poco esplorati. Questo studio ha testato se un evento inaspettato, come la presenza di una persona vestita da Batman, potesse aumentare il comportamento prosociale interrompendo la routine e aumentando l'attenzione al momento presente. Abbiamo condotto uno studio sul campo quasi sperimentale sulla metropolitana di Milano, osservando 138 passeggeri. Nella condizione di controllo, una sperimentatrice, apparentemente incinta, è salita sul treno con un'osservatrice. Nella condizione sperimentale, un'ulteriore sperimentatrice vestita da Batman è entrata da un'altra porta. I passeggeri erano significativamente più propensi a offrire il proprio posto in presenza di Batman (67,21% contro 37,66%, OR = 3,393, p \< 0,001). In particolare, il 44% di coloro che hanno offerto il proprio posto nella condizione sperimentale ha riferito di non aver visto Batman. Questi risultati suggeriscono che gli eventi inaspettati possono promuovere la prosocialità, anche in assenza di consapevolezza, con implicazioni per l'incoraggiamento della gentilezza in contesti pubblici.

After protesters called for a pause on economic activity and work to strike against the federal immigration crackdown, many business owners won’t open their doors on Friday.
Its a general strike. The first in the US in living memory
Support among House Democrats for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is skyrocketing, nearly doubling in the last week to 100 co-sponsors.
That's an unprecedented level of support for an impeachment effort during President Trump's second term, with lawmakers who have bristled at the topic in the past now warming to the idea.
Kelly is urging Republicans to get on board with her efforts — even as no GOP lawmaker has come close to expressing support for Noem's impeachment.
"As Secretary Noem continues to lie, obstruct Congress, and violate people's civil rights, the support for her impeachment only grows," she said.

Almost 15,000 nurses who work for three separate hospital systems have been on strike since 12 January, holding out for increased staffing, better safety in hospitals, and improved healthcare benefits. The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) has pointed to the giant pay packages that hospital CEOs have received, at a time when nurses say there are too few of them to adequately care for patients.
The strike has pulled support from Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, and Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist Vermont senator, both of whom joined striking nurses outside a Mount Sinai hospital on Tuesday.

I do; 'been my daily driver for 2 years (maybe 3?), now.
My experience has, generally, been great. You get the same minimal instability you'd get from any rolling distro but the stability you get from it being declarative and reproducible is fantastic; I, also, like being able to use my favorite programming language for my config. (and pretty much everywhere).
Been daily-driving Guix on 3 different machines for about 3 years. Love the declarative configs and rollbacks, and being able to easy share configuration with Scheme snippets between machines. I know that once I get something working on one, I have it permanently working for all my machines.
The tradeoff is that there's a Guixy way to do things that might not be obvious from the upstream docs, so could be harder to get e.g. a service up and running initially, but for me the reproducibility makes it a good tradeoff.

Why do you have to host Obsidian at all? I run it on my phone and the .md files sync to my server, then they sync to my laptop and I open them in Obsidian there.
That’s what I mean. You pick where you put your data. Or you can use obsidian’s cloud service. You aren’t locked into their cloud like with Evernote for example.
As someone who has used both Evernote and Standard Notes, I can say that the latter is obviously better for privacy but for those who are really looking for a FOSS option and want something more powerful than a simple notes store (albeit with a bit of a learning curve) you should definitely check out Logseq.
Notesnook seems to have a free tier that meets all the requirements to replace (eg.) Google Keep. I would love to support them when I have a more stable income
running the stuff in the title, tried a buncha switches for chromium/electron stuff but still the load mesured with e.g. amdgpu_top doesn't show "Media" usage. playing other stuff (VLC, Dragon, mpv) shows "Media" usage, which means those are using hardware acceleration.
edit: in the meantime tried the portable version as well, same results so it isn't a flatpak issue.
edit 2: as @thingsiplay@lemmy.ml found, running portable and flatpak with --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks under X11/Xwayland produces hardware accelerated video. that doesn't seem to be the case with wayland, the media graph stays at 0% and there's a buncha dropped frames with e.g. 4K video.
Can't comment on the flatpak, but my portable binary works with HW acceleration with the flags --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
flatpak runs fine under wayland, no switches needed, xlsclients comes back empty.
anyhow, tried it just now, downloaded portable, ran it with those (and other flags), media graph is still at zero. how did you verify yours is HW accelerated?
I think I found it. Didn't bother to look this up until your post and can confirm by default the "Media" is not utilized. Looking into a bug report about exactly that from Feb, 2025 (a year ago from now) github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTub… the developer says a set of flags is needed to pass in and a user suggests following: github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTub…
flatpak run io.freetubeapp.FreeTube --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs
I can confirm this will use some "Media" activity. But comparing (unscientifically) the GPU and GFX in fdinfo, the utilization doesn't seem too different. So overall I am not sure if that is actually hardware acceleration. Also make sure FreeTube has permission for "GPU acceleration" under "Device" set with Flatseal.
Guidelines I have encountered this bug in the latest release of FreeTube. I have encountered this bug in the official downloads of FreeTube. I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed is...
works with portable, media percentage is non-zero (dependent on resolution) but only with X11/Xwayland. running it with wayland switches works but nets a 0% in media.
doesn't work at all with Appimage; won't start with wayland switches. without them starts but media at 0%.
works with flatpak, media is non-zero, under Xwayland. ~~for some reason now won't start under wayland at all, possibly something I fucked up experimenting.~~ works under wayland but zero media use.
I don't know why, but the shortcut in the "Start" menu of KDE does not longer start FreeTube... Its Command-line arguments is 'run --branch=stable' --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/run.sh --file-forwarding io.freetubeapp.FreeTube @@u %u @@ . I have uninstalled FreeTube, deleted the shortcut so it is created from scratch and still does not start. It only starts from either commandline with regular flatpak command, or when I create a new shortcut with the arguments run io.freetubeapp.FreeTube --enable features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs
For whatever reason the arguments got additional quotation marks 'run --branch=stable' which messed up the command... deleting the quotation marks runs fine now. Weird... probably a bug from KDE when I tried to add the other options. Well thanks, now it runs with the original shortcut again. Thanks for the screenshot, helped me seeing the issue instantly.
cool beans. can you confirm your flatpak settings, are they for X or wayland? if you run freetube and run xlsclients in terminal, does it return empty? and if freetube runs in wayland, does it say 0% in media when you playback?
I don't know how to do a screenshot of the entire window that scrolls outside the view... i know skill issues. 😁 Well in Flatseal some relevant settings are X11 windowing system = ON, Wayland windowing system = OFF, Fallback to X11 windowing system = OFF. GPU acceleration = ON:
xlsclients returns "freetube"
With the enabled acceleration features using cmdline: "Media" activity is active (as soon as I play a video)
Without the extra features: "Media" activity is 0%
Unfortunately if I enable Wayland (just reverse ON / OFF X11 and Wayland setting in Flatseal), the Media activity is unused. Following settings and results are...
X11 windowing system = OFF, Wayland windowing system = ON, Fallback to X11 windowing system = OFF. GPU acceleration = ON:
xlsclients returns "" (empty)
With the enabled acceleration features using cmdline: "Media" activity is 0%
Without the extra features: "Media" activity is 0%

As someone who wants to approach car racing games, what would be the suggestion to start with? I remember I played need for speed undercover and shift many years ago and I enjoyed them (shift was one of my favorite) But I haven't been in the scene for a long time. I just want to casually play, because I kinda like the genre and I was thinking about getting a steering wheel eventually.
Need for Speed Heat and Unbound are decent, usually go on sale for dirt cheap. They are much more arcadey (which isn't a bad thing)
Forza Horizon is a great simcade experience imo. It's a good blend of realism and arcade style driving mechanics.
Dirt Rally 2 if you want to try rally style racing.
Racing games cover such a large variety of styles and levels or realism so it really depends what you like in a racing game.
There are proper sim racers but they are much harder to get into if you are just getting started (Assetto Corsa, iRacing, Richard Burns Rally to name a few)
Thanks for the suggestions! If I'd go with a Forza horizon, which one should I pick? Do you know if there's any Linux support for the game you mentioned?
I actually had a lot of fun at first with FH5 in the exact same position. The unlocks flow fast and there's a ton of stuff to tinker around with and explore, and the racing itself is very beginner-friendly. The difficulty settings and assists are very granular and can be fine-tuned to suit your skill level.
I particularly appreciated that it avoided a linear progression system and didn't make you start off on the slowest cars and slowly work your way up to the good ones, as it'll give you some insane hypercars right off the bat. The upgrade system and vehicle tiering also ensures that the "slower" cars are never truly obsolete. You can drive what your like, and the game never punishes you for it (in singleplayer, at least).
However, once I got through most of the single player content available, I started to sour on it at a certain point. The constant drip feed of new content in the weekly challenges was fun at first, but felt like a chore after a while, and it definitely takes advantage of FOMO, as the new unlocks in a given week are exclusive to that week and can't be obtained anywhere else, unless buying them from another player at often exorbitant rates. They do re-run previous exclusive vehicles in the secondary challenges sometimes, but there's no telling how long you'll have to wait for a particular car to come around again if you miss it the first time.
So yeah, your mileage may vary, so to speak, but I did put something like 300-400 hours into it before I dropped it for good, and I don't regret most of that.
Yeah well 300h is a lot, it's gonna be hard for me to reach that level. That's a good option, I'll definitely check it out. However, I don't understand how the game works in terms of cars availability and if the base game is enough since there are thousands of dlc and in addition you, as well as others, always mention this weekly unlock thingy.
Very interesting. The sources are all at langley no doubt so who the hell knows what the truth is. The tenor of the conversation could also be very different... I could see a call going like "we are going to get him, and if you don't work with us you're next" or something like that.
We will never know. Definitely the case it seems that the admin favors Rodriguez just based on the commentary post raid (before rodriguez's speech) and the hilarious and sudden friend zoning of Machado. Like Epstein this one gets filed away in the black marble mazes of state secrets.
I've become very pessimistic but another perspective given to me was this - the US is intentionally releasing news about Delcy cooperating in order to discredit her/cause instability at home.
I disagree, the Guardian has a pattern of performing leftist aesthetics while supporting western hegemony every time, hell they're even bad on trans issues

Con una trentennale carriera alle spalle, Anastasio & Co. non hanno certo perso la voglia di giocare con la musica, e ci consegnano un disco fresco e vitale, con richiami Sixties, ritmi a volte caraibici e un tocco di Rhythm And Blues che leviga una serie di canzoni notevoli... artesuono.blogspot.com/2016/10…
You know this is one of the differences I notice in the mindset between people living under capitalism in the west, and people living under socialism in China. The former tend to be very pessimistic about technological progress because the first thought is always 'how will this be used against me,' and Chinese people are generally excited about new technology because their thought is 'can't wait to see how this will improve my life going forward.'
“The [Arab] public has no hope, they understand that the prime minister and the rest of the government ministers have abandoned them,” said Hadash-Ta’al MK Aida Touma-Sliman, who marched in the Sakhnin demonstration.
Speaking to The Times of Israel, she said the unprecedented number of people in attendance was only possible after the end of the two-year war in Gaza. As long as the war continued, she said, the Arab public “felt it was hard to talk about their own hardships.”
“Ben Gvir is succeeding in advancing a policy in which criminal organizations are a subcontractor for him,” she claimed. “He stands by and watches how criminal organizations control our lives and frighten the public. Rather than having political goals, they have turned us into people who are just trying to survive.”
After the march concluded in Sakhnin, national and local Arab leaders met in the local city hall to discuss how to sustain the momentum that led to the strike and unprecedented demonstration, which Zahalka boasted had 100,000 attendees.
There exists a peculiar amnesia in software engineering regarding XML. Mention it in most circles and you will receive knowing smiles, dismissive waves, the sort of patronizing acknowledgment reserved for technologies deemed passé. "Oh, XML," they say, as if the very syllables carry the weight of obsolescence. "We use JSON now. Much cleaner."
ReactOS is a rather interesting open-source project that is considered by many to be a direct and free drop-in replacement for Windows, especially if you don't want to be locked in to Microsoft's proprietary ecosystem. One of its goals is to allow customers to run Windows apps and drivers in an open-source environment (reminiscent of Windows XP) that they can trust, and it has made many advancements in this regard. It supports Microsoft's FAT file system, Registry caching, native .zip handling, and is even capable of running Microsoft's iconic Hover! in fullscreen. Now, the project is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Not even close. They basically added some basic restrictions that are easy to bypass and geoblocked the feature in countries that started investigations into it.

Israeli media have reported that the Palestinian organisation Al-Haq has filed a criminal case in Switzerland, calling for an arrest warrant to be issued against Israeli Minister of Economy and Industry Nir Barkat over his government activities while he served as mayor of occupied Jerusalem.
