If you are going to a No Kings protest this weekend, be sure to review our Surveillance Self Defense guide for attending a protest and bring Rayhunter along for the ride! ssd.eff.org/module/atte.... eff.org/rayhunter.

Brick does make it tough. We don't have a doorbell, either (1905 house). It does look like Arlo is a) having a sale and b) has the option of wireless setup: us.arlo.com/collections/...

Might be a good alternative! :)

Maybe Lorex or Arlo would fulfill your needs? I only did a cursory read on them, but it seems like Arlo is wireless, and Lorex has a simple installation (if you're allowed to rewire your doorbell; not sure if you're renting).

And divest entirely from Amazon, if you haven't already. Your money is still going to fund ICE's surveillance web if you're a Prime subscriber/shop at Whole Foods/etc. It's all silent endorsement of their business practices.

His email didn’t brag about soldiers, border agents or any branch of federal law enforcement. Instead, the official wrote that the Department of Homeland Security “did not have to intervene with any protesters” the weekend of Oct. 4 — after the Illinois State Police showed up outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview.

“It’s clear that ISP is the difference maker in this scenario, and we are grateful for their leadership,” Peter Sukmanowski, assistant director of ICE’s Chicago field office, wrote. “Hopefully, we can keep it up for the long-haul.”

“They literally ushered us into the street to protest and immediately after started beating the shit out of us.”

This is 100% an accurate description of how this started.

Broadview PD mishandled the situation from the start, then unleashed ISP to beat the protesters they’d led into the street.

Protesters have said state and local police officers have attacked them and tried to stifle their attempts to speak and protest freely outside the Broadview ICE facility.

I don't know why anyone is still giving Amazon money when we all know how shit they are as a company. I'm so tired of the excuses. We can't have a revolution until people can handle giving up 2-day shipping.

There really isn't any reason to spend money with Amazon. Or Google. Alternatives exist and it's time we all divested from these dystopian freaks.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

This picture is from about 5 minutes after being hit. A visible bruise is forming on my right cheekbone and by my right eye.

I would discourage small ttrpg publishers from making premium Foundry content.

A. There's a quarterly fee if you don't sell a minimum number of copies.

B. It takes a lot of time and effort which is better spent on making games.

1. this is true

2. Itchio reviews are, unfortunately, only for the creator's eyes. if you want to write something kind for other potential player's to see, please make it a comment on the game-page instead.

no I don't know why it's set up this way but it is.

Exeunt Press 💀 @exeunt.press · 1d

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?

The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.

Being nice is cool. Keep it up.
