The Quaker House is one of several groups that operates the GI Rights Hotline (877-447-4487).

Boost this so that members of the National Guard, Reserves, or Active Duty Military know where to call if they called up to arrest US citizens.

Wow. Yes. From a California district court:

“At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not. His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.” https://journa.host/@chrisgeidner/114673375048335011

BIG, JUST IN: Judge Charles Breyer finds that President Trump exceeded the scope of his authority and violated the 10th Amendment by federalizing the California National Guard and orders him to return control to Governor Newsom. 1/

EVERY YEAR, I GO ALL GEORGE MICHAEL AND OFFER TO BE THE FATHER FIGURE FOR EVERYONE ON THE FEDIVERSE. THIS YEAR IS NO DIFFERENT. IF YOU WANT A DIFFERENT, BETTER DAD TO CELEBRATE THIS WEEKEND, I AM RIGHT HERE FOR YOU, SLUGGER.

So yes, we have all been seeing the news about a US senator being forcibly removed from a press conference by DHS Secretary Noem.

But are we also going to mention this was right after she stated that federal government is going to use military force to institute regime change on the largest state and city in the country?

It happened after Noem said, “We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city.”

Governor Gavin Newsom:
If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.

#straightpride

Padilla's assault & handcuffing is getting all the attention, but what Noem said is perhaps more terrifying.

"We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Admitting they're not here for violent criminals, they're here to overthrow our elected officials

"The bottom line from Apple’s research is stark: we’re not witnessing the birth of AI reasoning.

We’re seeing the limits of very expensive autocomplete that breaks when it matters most."

Damning proof from Apple researchers that the hype from big tech surrounding #AI is an expensive illusion.

Yes, capitalism sucks monkey balls but seriously, if there's an artist you dig, somebody making you move your brain, your ass, or your heart...BUY THEIR STUFF. Keep them from getting so tired that all they can do is give you regurgitainment. That shit's bad for the arteries. Life in co-survival.

#GetFediHired I am a software engineer with 4 years of experience at backend development and a US resident at risk of repression due to immigration status and history of political activism. I am looking for a Canadian employer who will sponsor me for a work visa, ideally to start in the winter or next spring (2026) in Montreal or remotely anywhere in Canada. If you have any information that would help my search, please let me know.

I do not wish to be deported to Israel, where my children will be forced to serve in the IDF.

Boosts welcome

We're inundated by exaggerated, narrow focus news stories about "riots" and protester "violence" and about crime more generally because of behavior from the news media like this photo.

When you zoom out to the macro view, it's clear there's a synthetic white supremacist effort to purge the country of various "undesirables."

Normally, we would have announced the availability experimental releases based on Android 16 already. Unfortunately, Android 16 dropped device/hardware support from the Android Open Source Project and we're going to need to put it together ourselves without being prepared for it.

What gender do you identify with?

This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.

In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.

It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

Today a friend asked me why I write blog posts, and what's my audience.

I said I write blog posts for the person I was before I learned the content of the posts.

A lot of people are recommending #Meshtastic for certain use cases like protests, which is awesome! Just please make sure to learn more about how to secure your device. Security is a process, not a product!

@mesh There have also been multiple security vulnerabilties lately, so please re-flaah your radios to make sure you're running the latest version
