Half the street corners around Minneapolis have people
— from every walk of life, including republicans
— standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles,
which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that
tracks ICE vehicles
and mobilizes responders.
I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years.
I have never seen anything approaching this scale.

Recently, Japanese researchers found some odd DNA in a dinoflagellate cell, which isn't really an Archaea, or a virus, but something else entirely.

PSA: Newer contactless cards which can be disabled, just decline the transaction - they still scan; so with a wallet with both a disabled-contactless and an enabled-contactless card they can still scan the wrong one, unlike the old cards that when the bank gave you one without contactless really didn't have it.

Do spend a moment with my assertion that this is the intended effect. If it’s clear who the secret police are targeting, then it’s clear whether you are safe, whether you should be afraid. If the secret police are randomly targeting everyone, then •everyone• has to be afraid.
•That• is what an authoritarian regime wants. The systems that created ICE’s chaotic, violent behavior are not accidental.

This speech by Zelenskyy at Davos is biting.

Ukraine is the closest thing to Palestine Europe has and still no solidarity, not even an acknowledgement? I just don’t get it.
