I wouldn't want him to get his "biggest crowd ever" any other way...
I'm here to love the 16-bits, the old #AdobeFlash coding, teh Anime's, and to put #emulators on ALL the things!
Some signs I liked #noKings
Josie got to attend the local #NoKings demonstration at the #OregonStateCapitol, where Representative #RepAndreaSalinas spoke.
This country was founded on mass protest against a king. That fabric of freedom is woven into every generation that has come since, and perhaps it has never been more evident than across America today.

PS:
this is the perfect poster for the #NoKings follow-up:
❝ BILLIONAIRES ARE THE ONLY DANGEROUS MINORITY ❞
back in the day, even with birthright succession, if the nobility decided you shouldn’t accede, then you didn’t become king (or queen).
that’s the system of government american b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶a̶i̶r̶e̶s̶¹ want: one in which b̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶a̶i̶r̶e̶s̶ (not even millionaires) act as a nobility & decide who you accept as your ruler with pantomime elections.
(¹elsewhere they’re called milliardaires)

MLS over ActivityPub Draft
Good news in privacy for ActivityPub. The first early draft of the MLS over ActivityPub specification went out this week. It’s been part of my work on our E2EE for ActivityPub project at the Social Web Foundation.
Messaging Layer Security (MLS) is an IETF standard for end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messaging. It lets people on laptops and phones communicate with each other in a secure way that no one in between can see.
MLS is designed to use pluggable lower-level protocols. This […]

What to Do If ICE Comes to Your Workplace
The workplace is one of the most frequent sites for ICE raids. The International Migrants Alliance gave a quick know your rights workshop at the June 6 rally outside the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. Here’s their advice on what you can do to protect yourself and your co-workers:
Right to remain silent. All you have to do is say it out loud—“I have the right to remain silent”—and then refuse to answer any other questions.
Right to refuse entry. Unless ICE has a warrant signed by a judge for that exact address, it’s trespassing. You can even call the cops on them.
Right to refuse to sign anything. Same as the right to remain silent, you don’t have to sign anything without an attorney present.
If you’re a U.S. citizen, you don’t have to prove it. Don’t show them your ID just because they ask for it.
If you’re not a U.S. citizen, don’t carry any false documentation. If you’re caught with it, it will only make your case harder.
If you’re not an immigrant and see ICE on the job, intervene and stick up for your co-workers. You can’t legally impede ICE agents from carrying out their duties, but you can record and photograph them—even if they say otherwise.

Even without the surveillance concern, these services love to suddenly delete all of your files or "discontinue" with hardly any warning. Every cloud service is a server, and every server goes offline some day.
If you're not plugged into the movement, I'm here to tell you that it's BIG, much bigger than what you see on the news: there are Signal groups in every community in southern California to report sightings of ICE, coordinate protests, provide legal support, request aid, draft guides, & more. That's tens of thousands of people who are actively mobilized, and who are working to mobilize more people in their communities.
It's BIG and it's growing.
As usual, Talking Points Memo understands what's happening earlier than Big Journalism -- in this case the Trump regime's actual goal in its attack on LA.
What's happening is a coup, an extreme right-wing overthrow of the elected state and local governments.
