This video investigation documents the outrageous, lawless brutality of the paramilitary Border Patrol against U.S. citizens. It combats the lying, fascistic propaganda of Bovino & Trump. This alone justifies a subscription to the NYT. Can’t afford it?

Implementing Encrypted Messaging over ActivityPub
One of the project areas of the Social Web Foundation for the last year has been end-to-end encrypted messaging. ActivityPub, the standard protocol that powers the Social Web, has privacy controls, but they do not protect the content of messages from server operators. Encrypted messaging has become a common feature on many social networks since ActivityPub was created, and its lack has inhibited Social Web adoption and public trust in the network. ActivityPub is extensible, though. As part […]https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/12/19/implementing-encrypted-messaging-over-activitypub/

“This is an agency that demonizes immigrants who have committed no crimes, yet it fails to police its own ranks,” Tramonte continued.
“The hypocrisy is breathtaking, and the threat to public safety is clear.”
@vicgrinberg - I got to go there for my 40th Birthday, it's invigorating just being near the cataratas. Were you able to take the boat under the falls as well? That was super fun. And yes, coatis are amazingly cute, and certainly not afraid of coming up to humans in that park. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip there, and if you have a chance check out Iguacu on the Brazil side, and Ciudad del Este on the Paraguayan side, while you are close, I found that was well worth the visits too.

“Yesterday brought news that the unemployment rate is at its highest level since September 2021, when the country was still struggling through the covid pandemic.
Like the bandages and the makeup on his hand, Trump has to lie to keep up appearances.”

Movie piracy is bad. That's why I want to know the best sites to block so I live free of sin.
I used to block dopebox.to, but since it doesn't work the way I want, I no longer need to block it.
What other good sites are there that I should block or whatever?
