"We are retired, but our colleagues who are still on the job have shown you a brutal and illegal campaign against fellow Chicagoans, mainly Latinos: violent abductions, gutting families, using tear gas around children, roughing up witnesses, ramming cars and even taking a day care teacher from her school.

"Let us be clear: We support the lawful apprehension and deportation of undocumented immigrants with criminal records. The president says he’s after the worst of the worst, but that’s not what’s happening. It’s gone way beyond that. People are presumed guilty until proven innocent. It is not law enforcement; it is terror.

"This dragnet seems to be based on racism and is snaring citizens of color, documented immigrants and people who have committed no serious crimes — your neighbor, friend, co-worker, babysitter and landscaper. People whose work ethic and honesty have contributed to the city for years."
—LTE, The Chicago Tribune

Vince Gilligan is truly a master of his craft. No one manages to weave the ordinary into their work as effectively as he does. The footsteps of a determined walker. The creak of a car door. A bag of chips getting stuck in a vending machine. Gilligan makes everything so much more real and relatable with these morsels of the mundane, and I love it.

Also Pluribus is incredible and you should totally give it a try.

Hackers On Planet Earth (HOPE), the long running hacking conference, announce the passing of Greg Newby, one of the main organizers of the conference

Friends,

We write today with some very sad news. Our dear friend and one of the
main organizers of the HOPE conferences, Greg Newby, has passed away
after a six-month battle with pancreatic cancer. Greg had been involved
with HOPE since 2000 and helped make the conference grow and get past
some phenomenal challenges. He also was an everpresent figure at the
events, often serving as stage manager while decked out in anything

from a zoot suit to a graduation gown. He was the one who found our

new location at St. John's University, right when it seemed like there

was no way we could continue after the closure of the Hotel Pennsylvania.
He designed 2600's digital delivery system and helped find a way around
Amazon's domination of material for Kindles and other readers. In short,
Greg never shied away from a challenge - and he never gave up.

In addition, Greg was an expert in supercomputing who was in demand

all over the world, from Canada to Saudi Arabia to all parts of the

United States. We were far from the only ones who recognized his genius.
He also devoted a great deal of time to the development of Project
Gutenberg, the world's oldest digital library. And, of course, he had a
particular passion for raising and training sled dogs in the far north.

There are so many amazing people in our community. Greg was truly one
of them and we are honored to have been a part of his world, albeit

for far too brief a time.

@frogglin I laughed way too hard at this.

The government doesn’t announce it has become. Fascist…it declares anti-fascists enemies of the state

I'm with Justin @jhpot - Mark Zuckerberg is a digital narcotics dealer. That's actually generous IMHO, given the unbelievable harm his products have wrought all over the world.
