ICE showed up and stopped all of the people fighting a wildfire from working and made them all show identification. They then snatched two of the firefighters and no one knows where they are.
ICE won't say what their names are or why they were taken.
Correction: ICE prevented all 44 firefighters from returning to work at all.
Guess the fire danger can wait?

Donald Trump Declares D.C. a 'Crime Free Zone' Despite Reported Crimes
Donald Trump claimed that Washington, D.C. had become a "crime free zone" despite 442 crimes being reported there in the past week.Emily Zemler (Rolling Stone)
"With names like Investigative Case Management (ICM) and ImmigrationOS, the big data platforms Palantir provides for the Department of Homeland Security, and like those it offers the IDF, are fundamentally composed of four shared elements: the underlying data integrated into the system, the interpretation and modeling of that data through analytics, and the execution of automated actions – with or without human involvement. At every layer of this architecture, there are significant ethical questions regarding civil rights, data collection, data quality, bias, discrimination, accuracy, automation and, most importantly, accountability.
Ultimately, however, these platforms generate and track targets by exploiting a mind-boggling range of datasets. This can include deeply personal information such as biometric and medical data, social media data involving friends and family, precise location data derived from license plate readers, sim card data, and surveillance drone data. They can also process data purchased from a thriving ecosystem of private data brokers, or subpoenaed from companies such as Waymo and Meta. The lack of transparency regarding datasets exploited in these applications, and how they are shared across systems, further distorts the picture. That’s why it’s important to focus on the victims."

An diesem 1. September kommt mehreres zusammen.
Ein neuer Monat beginnt.
Es ist Montag und ich liebe Montage.
Also ein doppelter neuer Start.
Und während ich über dieses Neustart-Datum nachsinne, wird mir bewusst, dass heute vor vier Jahren der erste Tag war an dem ich offiziell voll selbstständig war.
Jetzt starte ich erst einmal in den September 2025.
Dafür habe ich den neuen #Schreibmonat angelegt, in dem auch der August verlinkt ist.

O vídeo apresenta uma série de ilustrações animadas que retratam a experiência de adultos neurodivergentes após quatro horas de socialização. Inicialmente, dois personagens, um verde e um azul, estão próximos, com o verde sorrindo e o azul com uma bateria verde quase cheia, simbolizando a energia inicial. A cena muda para o azul com uma bateria quase vazia, representando a exaustão. O verde, agora com uma expressão de exaustão, está em um cenário de desordem, com o azul em chamas, sugerindo um colapso. Em seguida, o azul está sentado à mesa com outros personagens, com pedaços de comida espalhados, indicando um desastre social. Por fim, o azul está deitado em uma cama, com um texto indicando que ele será totalmente carregado em três meses, sugerindo um longo período de recuperação. O texto "Neurodivergent adults after 4 hours of socializing" está presente em todas as cenas, e a marca "[@]THELANDOFRICES" aparece no canto inferior esquerdo.

How do we achieve degrowth?
"Orsagh wrote: “Degrowth is not going to come from the top. It will have to come from the grassroots, and that means people sharing these ideas, talking to other people, and slowly, over time building to a critical mass that those in power can’t ignore.” I believe that the best way to promote degrowth is by taking away barriers to voluntary family planning."

in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •Being a single user* server, I have the luxury of making up my rules on the spot (Captured in Mastodon’s Rules field as: “Don't do anything I wouldn't approve of.”)
So it’s a definite yes for me.

in reply to Philip Mallegol-Hansen • • •Yeah, what @philip said!
A small instance is the way to go.
I really do encourage those who can afford $6/month just sign up for @mastohost with their own domain & have an instance for a small group.
These massive instances can't possibly keep up with the complaints (& verify their server rules are followed) & ultimately lots of small instances is what federation is about!

in reply to Bradley M. Kuhn • • •Better still, that old computer that won't run Microvirus anymore? Put Linux in it and SELF HOSTING rather than supporting some cloud server. If you can put it on a corporate cloud, you can put it on a home computer and that alone will make it harder for THEM to shut down the free communications not controlled by a corporation.

in reply to justbob • • •@justbob
Funny you mention that! I stayed off #Fediverse for *years* b/c I only wanted to do it if I self-hosted. The tuits never came.
@mastohost is committed to #AGPLv3 compliance & it's a small #FOSS business — the kind we want more of in the community.
So, at first I had my @bkuhn@floss.social account. I asked the admin “so … if I wanna self-host like you … ”. Admin told me that they just outsource to masto.host too! I was sold.

in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •but I want people debating Gaza etc, not scared to say something that would violate the rules.
I wouldn't want my server to be the source of misinfo, but I also don't always know what is misinfo. journo outlets having their own servers with native AP articles that we could boost might help with this, cause then they are the source and can be debated.
fedi rules are tough imo. have whatever rules you want on your server, but only fediblock for harassment because that harms the network.
Evan Prodromou
in reply to william.maggos • • •william.maggos
in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •of course and I think one is happening, but some will say it's not but also that what Israel is doing is necessary. others will look at that as genocide justification etc.
a similar argument erupts around all policy: how bad that policy is and whether supporting it is hateful towards a group. using slurs is obvious harassment but so much else isn't.
I don't think Jewish people are lying when they say they FEEL that a lot of rhetoric re Israel is antisemitic, even factual statements.
Evan Prodromou
in reply to william.maggos • • •william.maggos
in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •if I say there is a genocide happening in Gaza (and I do) but somebody else on my server says it is not and that they support the IDF activities, should I consider that a violation of such a rule? I would rather continue to argue with them about it than kick them off etc. same with maybe every other topic.
if they are on my server and are just assholes re Palestinians or any other group, they need to go.
if somebody says posting the DEATH TO THE IDF video is antisemitic, what do we do?
Evan Prodromou
in reply to william.maggos • • •@wjmaggos "if I say there is a genocide happening in Gaza (and I do) but somebody else on my server says it is not and that they support the IDF activities, should I consider that a violation of such a rule? "
No. That is genocide denial, not genocide justification. Justification is when people accept that a genocide is taking place, but they claim there's some reason that it is necessary.
"if somebody says posting the DEATH TO THE IDF video is antisemitic, what do we do?"
Is that relevant?
william.maggos
in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •ok but my point is they are justifying the same shit, something I consider genocide.
it's kinda relevant imo because I think different people honestly think different things are hateful and should be unacceptable. and in my experience, it is criticism of Israel where the left tends to draw the line differently. we're generally quick to say that comments that upset other groups should not be tolerated, but I think we're different re comments re Israel that some Jews consider antisemitic.

Black People and anything connected with us is debated all over the world. Most people never discuss the rights of gay or disabled people whichis a bigger problem.
I'm pro Palestinian but you shouldn't have compared the suffering of one group to the suffering of other groups.
I'm muting you.
Do better.
Evan Prodromou
in reply to Audubon Ballroon (he/him) • • •Sensitive content
@audubonballroon @wjmaggos I said that genocide of Palestinians is as unacceptable a topic as genocide of other people, and listed three examples.
I don't think that was comparing anyone's experiences. All peoples deserve not to be eradicated. That's the point of having prohibitions on genocide.
Regardless, I went back and changed the text so it doesn't mention any particular peoples.

in reply to Evan Prodromou • • •My answer would be yes, but. Yes, but it's not entirely clear. We do have a prohibition on Holocaust denial, which is great, as well as promotion of violence, totalitarianism, and hateful imagery.
