The fact that the Trump admin first reaction to people peacefully exercising their rights is to launch federal investigations against citizens to intimidate them is exactly why we were out there.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

“NO KINGS” is more than a slogan; it’s the foundation that the United States of America was built upon. We wouldn't be a country if the founding fathers didn't believe that.
As such, the people peacefully protesting today in the streets across the country love the premise of this country.
No hate.

As a tween/teen, this show had me in stitches. Spitting Image is savage, unrelenting satire that skewers politicians, celebrities, and anyone else caught in the public’s crosshairs. It exposes the absurdities and hypocrisy of the world around us.

I have never heard of the "Hate American Rally" that the Trump sycophants are talking about.
However, I have heard of the #NoKings rally for this Saturday which is for Americans who believe that there should never be any absolute monarchies or dictators in the USA. Ever.
Hope that clarifies.

I'm against fascism which makes me antifascist. I am not part of a terrorist organization but I'll call fascism when I see it.
I see fascism in the current regime of the United States led by Trump. These are the terrorists and enemies of the people. The call is coming from inside the [White] house.

We should assume now that every tech bro who came out to say last year that Kamala Harris was a threat to democracy and Trump was the only way to save the country are fascists. They wanted a civil war and we know some believe in slavery. They have fuck-you money and they keep nodding. Incriminating.

Why is modern commercial software "engineering" filled with busywork or workarounds applied to temporary solutions instead of building software with tools and practices that allow engineers to reason about code in holistic ways?
One common answer: those hiring center on shitty stacks/practices.

DHH is what techno-fascism looks like in the little leagues: A now-wealthy immigrant whose life's story embodies the promise of open societies now writes as though openness is cultural suicide.
Same for Musk & Thiel. An open and accepting society made them who they are. They'd be nothing otherwise.

This along with the TikTok takeover by MAGA faithful billionaires and Google settlement with Trump is deeply troubling even after Trump dies.

Choreo for @quint_lang is what I wanted 7 yrs ago when I was designing distributed pipelines.
No reinventing message passing from scratch every time, with built-in patterns, state isolation, and timeout behaviors that practitioners can use as reusable building blocks.
