I have no doubt the US can do several rounds of strikes and probably/hopefully Iran can't do anything meaningful striking back. But if the strikes are done, what's next... Hoping Iranian protestors take over government?

Genoa also has terrific food. We toured the Mercato Orientale Genova, a very impressive food market that puts anything in the US to shame. I also found some street food snacks on my walk back to the ship. The focaccia was particularly good, stuffed with some creamy salty cheese. Probably prescinsêua or maybe stracchino.

"A woman was watching from her porch. Someone ran up and addressed her: “Ma’am, we’re out here defending the neighborhood against ICE. We need barricade materials.

Three people helped to carry these out and add them to the barricades."

I'm going through some coins that my grandpa apparently collected. From what I can figure out, this is likely a copy of a 1776 "Fugio Dollar". There is a visible seam running around the edge, meaning that it was cast instead of struck. I wonder what (if anything) it is worth. The weight doesn't feel right. I'm guessing that it is made of pewter or something.

You should block every single account who says stuff like "nothing can be done".
These people are either plants/bots or just outright defeatist—they can't and won't contribute anything valuable and should be shunned.

I have some critiques of "Fighting in the Streets." The last chapter would get you killed. The coms advice are absolutely terrible, which makes me question other elements of the book. But it does provide a framework for thinking about what a militant resistance looks like, and what framework needs to exist to make it possible.
It's a short read, and worth it for the thought experiment. You can read TM 31-210 all you want, but it won't do anything for you without the social framework that makes more than one attack possible. It always comes back to community building, even if (especially if) you're wanting to make sure militant resistance is an option on the table.

I find it perplexing that after 5 and a bit years of Trump in the Whitehouse that the media don't treat anything he says as a lie by default until and unless they corroborate the details via other less tainted sources. His pronouncements seem less about manifesting the result he wants and more about manipulating the markets to grow his own wealth.

So I grew up somewhere never needing an ID for anything, other than a driving license when I was very occasionally driving a car. I wasn’t carrying an ID every day until I was in my 30s.
It’s a relatively new thing that travel, buying certain things, alcohol consumption etc requires a photo ID.
All of this surveillance and privacy-invasive shit (make people carry around the address where they live, wtf?) has been pressed into existence to “protect the children” and in the name of “fighting criminals”.
It’s all bullshit and we should end requiring it.
