"A visit by the Guardian to downtown Portland on Saturday morning confirmed that the city is placid, the farmers’ market was packed and the protest against immigration enforcement in an outlying residential neighborhood remained small. There were just four protesters on the sidewalk near the Ice field office Trump claimed was “under siege”. One, wearing a chicken costume and draped in an American flag, held up a sign that read: “Portland Will Outlive Him.” Passing motorists honked in appreciation."
...
"“The President has sent agents here to create chaos and riots in Portland, to induce a reaction, to induce protests, to induce conflicts. His goal is to make Portland look like what he’s been describing it as,” Oregon’s junior senator, Jeff Merkley said. “He wants to induce a violent exchange. Let us not grant him that wish. Let us be the force of orderly, peaceful protest.”"
edit: links in replies for different protest ideas; I saw the stuffed animal toss, but I'm not sure I'd want to be the test case for whether that counts as assault

L'immagine mostra una schermata di un post su una piattaforma di social media. Il post è stato pubblicato da Giorgia Meloni il 14 ottobre 2016. Il testo critica la decisione del governo italiano di schierare truppe NATO in Lettonia a partire dal 2018, definendola "una idiotezza" e una "provocazione" senza interesse strategico. Meloni sostiene che l'Europa e l'Italia non hanno bisogno di creare un clima di guerra fredda con la Russia e che la decisione è stata presa senza avvertire gli italiani e il Parlamento. Il post è stato evidenziato con colori diversi per sottolineare le parole chiave. In alto a sinistra, c'è il nome dell'utente "nicola.furini" con la data e l'ora del post.

Thousands of Palestinians return to Gaza City amid escalating Israeli offensive
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6255443
Deadly Israeli attacks continued to target Palestinian civilians on 24 September as Tel Aviv’s forces pushed deeper into Gaza City as part of a new operation to force the resistance into submission.While many have fled, tens of thousands of others are unwilling to leave their homes. Some have also returned to their homes in Gaza City after being displaced toward the south.
“We affirm that more than 900,000 Palestinians remain steadfast in Gaza City, holding onto their right to stay and firmly rejecting forced displacement and expulsion to the south, despite the horrific bombardment and genocidal crimes carried out by the Israeli occupation,” the Gaza Government Media Office said in a statement on Wednesday.
Those fleeing have been ordered to head south toward Al-Mawasi – a previously declared “safe zone” which has been relentlessly targeted throughout the war.
Al-Mawasi has been hit with over 100 airstrikes since the start of the genocide in 2023, killing a total of 2,000 people, the media office went on to say.

The Finnish Marticulation Examination to move away from Linux-based exam enviroment due to perceived threat of dwindling support on student devices
Context: The Finnish Marticulation Examination is a national examination required to qualify for entry into a university in Finland (not strictly required, but the vast majority will have passed the exam before university). These are basically the final exams of Finnish "high school". The current digital system used for the exams is called "Abitti", which is a Debian-based OS. The students boot into the system with provided USB-sticks.
In the linked article, there is the following statement (in Finnish):
Computer technology advances quickly, and the current Abitti works in fewer and fewer computers. The threat is that computers that can run the current Linux-environment won't be available in the near future.
The new system ("Abitti 2"), which is planned to be used by Autumn 2026, uses locked-down Web-apps written for each supported OS. Support is planned for Windows, Mac, and ChromeOS. Linux support "needs further investigation". As I understand it, the current situation is that the old Linux USB-stick method (now called "Abitti 2 student-stick") is still used as a backup for those without Windows, Mac, or ChromeOS.
I think the main premise of Linux-bootable computers not being available in the near future is extremely dystopian. Thoughts?
Abitti 2 – Ylioppilastutkinnon uusi koejärjestelmä

The last time I looked at this, it did not really add up. The “lack of supoort” was more for BIOS boot than anything. When they say “Linux”, they mean their ancient implementation of it.
It would be a real shame if Linux lost foothold in its own country out of ignorance and bias.

"O Supremo Tribunal Federal, que teve papel fundamental na vitória da defesa da democracia, vai tomar em breve uma decisão que pode representar uma derrota histórica dos direitos dos trabalhadores. O julgamento do Tema 1389 ameaça transformar a Justiça do Trabalho em uma fachada, onde contratos fraudulentos poderão passar ilesos, blindando empresas e precarizando o emprego. Se a decisão mudar a obrigação de provar a fraude para o trabalhador, a precariedade será institucionalizada. A proteção social, construída com suor e sangue, pode ser destruída, e o Brasil verá a exclusão das camadas mais vulneráveis enquanto o fisco paga a conta."

Seems unlikely. But, I'm a little disipointed that these are being panned like the other tariffs that made no sense. You can make a case for these. Is it a good case? The Free Trade fans will say no way.
Personally I think shipping cabinets halfway across the world is kind of inefficient.

True. I just wish we could talk about trade policy without all of the free trade absolutism. First of all because I don't think it works, but also when big news channels act like no tariff could ever be good they loose a lot of credibility with people who have seen how things have gone for the losers under these policies.
Things have gone badly.
One can point to a higher GDP, but there are towns that have never recovered from free trade. People hate it.

In fact, until recently there was cabinet manufacturing in the Bronx, tile floors too. But over the past two decades Home Depot has become the only place you can buy cabinets unless you want a luxury job done by the tiny firms in the village. (Think 20k remodel vs. 50k remodel)
Home depot has very limited selection of mostly low quality imported cabinets.
The Bronx manufactures hung on by doing high end custom luxury work but they are gone now.

The perfect tariff target has a struggling domestic industry, employs a lot of people, isn't something like food, clothing, or medicine that people have no choice but to buy.
So, more luxury and differ-able goods. Bonus if it's big and bulky and shipping is eating up a lot of the value with the imported goods.
This could be... fine?
Will it be around long enough to do anything?

Yeah, I have to admit I also think the furniture and cabinets are less wrong than his other "tariffs" in that they actually are protectionist.
All this actually makes me think is that there's some hidden wrong thing about them that I don't know about, though. I am no longer capable of believing the Trump administration *can* do something that would benefit America.
And the money taken in is still just disappearing into a Trumpcoin bucket as far as I can tell.

Some TN cabinet guys gave him big donations. This might be their ask. An ask that has been perhaps wrongly ignored for decades by free-trade-drunk liberal and right wing admins.
The answer for all tariffs has been NO for everything and maybe it went too far IMHO.
So he could have stumbled into this through corruption.
Graydon
in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •Sensitive content
@vivtek Tariffs are generally destructive.
For them to be NOT destructive, they have to be assisting import replacement (=making something you currently import), time-limited, and not result in retaliatory tariffs from trading partners. There isn't any framework for that, and it takes really stable trade policy to make it work. (You need a stable five to ten years minimum.)
It may help to think of tariffs as taxes that could be collected in pre-modern times.

"Tariffs are generally destructive."
Yes. If you look at the GDP level, and if you are thinking long term.
But also sometimes I think they can be fine. Shipping big bulky goods halfway around the world to save a few bucks on labor costs is kind of ... it's not efficient.

no matter which way anyone "reforms" capitalism, it will always be war on the working class. "free trade" isn't good because labour and goods can move but workers cannot due to nation state borders. "pay to trade" isn't good either because it still puts more money in the pockets of the bosses and will not undermine wage exploitation.
Graydon
in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •Sensitive content
@vivtek "Externality" is an accounting term for "a cost we can make a diffuse group pay" and ocean shipping is mostly externalities. The real cost of decarbonized shipping would drive efficiency; tariffs not so much, because they're also externalities.
(Once the incumbents decided that labour was a cost, their goal became never paying for labour. Which creates incentives to move production as close to slavery conditions as possible. Much rationalization follows.)
