Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

Regarding the 20/20 peice that was cut, but shown in Canada:

I want all Americans to understand,

This is a perfect example of the information we are getting about your country, that you are being shielded from.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

ICE has posted a video of Santa Claus arresting immigrants. Your government is hijacking a symbol of charity to spread fear and hate. it’s up to all of us to defeat these twisted fascists.

It feels very appropriate that the 8th night lines up with the shortest day of the year this year. We’re done adding light to our menorahs and now the world can keep adding light with us, a little more each day! (Sorry southern hemisphere)

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

For anyone who thinks resistance is futile, I would like to bring your attention to just how much less ambitious the administration’s domestic crackdown goals have become in recent months. They’re unpopular, fighting on all fronts, and on the retreat.
Today, for the first time in six months, Angelenos are living without the National Guard unlawfully deployed in their city.

Our team fought tirelessly against President Trump’s unlawful attempts to militarize American cities, and while the fight is not over, this is a step in the right direction.

As I said, I typically don't like straight covers that just shift covers so much for this list...but I've got to make an exception for the virtuoso of ska covers, @skatunenetwork.bsky.social They do an amazing job on shifting the genre so seamlessly you'd think it was always a ska song.

Vandals decapitated and smashed the statue of Mary in an Evanston church’s outdoor Nativity scene Friday, and the church responded by replacing it with a sign saying Mary was beaten & dragged away in front of her son and is being held in immigration detention.

Wanted to make a longer post about the mass shooting at Brown and found this post about Sandy Hook from 2012 and how sad is it that I can literally copy paste the exact same post because gun violence has only gotten worse without federal legislation to stop the ~40K annual preventable gun deaths.😓

Let people be their true selves, as they know and understand them. Let children explore their identities. Celebrate difference and variety and the incredible spectrum of humanity. The only alternative denies an opportunity to celebrate the joy of human flourishing and is ultimately unspeakably cruel

In response, California Governor Gavin Newsome issued an executive order declaring Donald Trump a Poo Poo Head
President Trump has signed an executive order that would block states from enforcing laws they pass to regulate A.I., or artificial intelligence. The directive marks a big win for tech giants but will likely be challenged in the courts. https://to.pbs.org/4oQVpOW

I have literally never, not once, picked up a brownfield project and been like "oh thank god it's using an ORM". I have however spent hundreds of hours mitigating the consequences of ORM usage. I think it might be time we call this a failed experiment and just stop using them.
