Urgent #MutualAidRequest to help a disabled trans couple stay fed and safe
Goal:
$0/$200
Hello. My partner @LukeOrion and I are a couple of disabled trans artists/musicians who recently escaped homelessness. Unfortunately we have been running into mechanical problems with our RV that has made getting back on our feet difficult.
We are trying to raise $200 (by tomorrow 11am MST the latest) to be able to cover booking two more nights at the RV park and being able to get us food so we can stay fed over the next couple days. Because of the engine issues, it’s not safe for us to travel long distances until we can get into a mechanic (more information is in our fundrazr) and because we’re stuck in South Dakota right now specifically, it’s not a safe place for us to try and get by crashing in parking lots. We also don’t have a working generator on our RV and staying at the RV park gives us access to electricity and the ability to be productive.
Speaking of being productive, Luke does digital art commissions. Art commissions are as helpful as direct donations for us. You can find more information on their profile if you’re interested: indiepocalypse.social/@LukeOri…
Please boost and help keep a disabled trans couple currently stuck in a red state fed and safe. Thank you!

Urgent #MutualAidRequest to help a disabled trans couple stay fed and safe
Goal:

No donations yet today. On a positive note we were able to get food again.
We still need to try and raise $53 by tomorrow morning to guarantee being able to book another night.
Please keep sharing! Thank you!

Urgent #MutualAidRequest to help a disabled trans couple stay safe
Immediate goal: $0/$53
We didn't get any additional donations and had to use $20 that was supposed to go towards getting the RV into a mechanic towards tonight.
Really hoping that @LukeOrion and I can raise at least $53 by the morning to cover being able to stay another night here.
Please help a couple of disabled trans artists/musicians stay safe while stuck in South Dakota. Please boost!

Anyone have first-hand experience running #Linux on a recent #framework 13 (Intel or AMD doesn't matter much, I think, but do let me know) and using multiple #Thunderbolt (3) devices behind a Thunderbolt 4 hub (I was eyeing the CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Element Universal Multi-Port Hub, but other first-hand accounts welcome)? I've been trawling the community forums but to no avail.
For now I only have hardware with a TB3 port so I could only validate that the one device (a BlackMagic UltraStudio Recorder 3G, if you must ask) works under Linux. I guess experience on recent laptop hardware under similar conditions would be useful too (one TB4 port, one TB4 hub, multiple TB3 devices).
Plugging the devices on different ports would certainly work (my usecase only requires 2 devices), but using the hub as a power source for both the laptop and the attached devices seems like a compelling combination to me.
Chissà che possa essere di buon auspicio, per chi come me , sta vivendo una seconda primavera, dopo un lungo inverno...

Not worried because you aren't a criminal immigrant? Aren't trans? Aren't a student activist?
If so, maybe you should read the headlines. Scores of legal residents and citizens, as well as undocumented immigrants with no convictions for any crimes, have already been deported, many to gulags in El Salvador, Guantanamo and Africa.
And now, universities are joining the assault on due process and civil liberties. Columbia and Barnard expelled several students, kicked them out of campus housing, stripped away meal tickets that they'd already paid for, all because they happened to be in the library, studying, when protesters took over the library to protest the Genocide in Gaza.

The dirty little secret of Trumpworld is how it has shrunk. He has no pool of talent on which to draw. He has only the same handful of cronies and fixers and brainless sycophants. No wonder he keeps installing mannequins from Fox News.
They aren't competent to the jobs they're in, and now they have to do double- and triple-duty.
Americans (rightly) reach for Hitler first as the best and most obvious example of fascism, but really, I think that's just because he is the most accessible to people who grew up in the shadow of European cultural dominance.
I think Trump's remainder will most probably play out more like Gaddafi's or Ceaușescu's, both beginning and end.
