Federal agents around the country were told in recent days that the F.B.I. would no longer investigate confrontations with immigration agents
— cases that sometimes yield evidence that could be used to prosecute Department of Homeland Security agents implicated in violent encounters, according to people briefed on the decision.
If enacted, such a change would sharply limit law enforcement scrutiny of immigration agents,

Gamedev/graphics/graph theory people: right now the filter graph editor (imgui-node-editor) in ngscopeclient uses a simple spline curve when drawing edges from one node to another, ignoring everything in its path (i.e. edges can cross nodes).
Is anyone interested in trying to rework this to add a bit more intelligence to the routing? It needs to be fast with up to a few hundred nodes in a typical worst-case scenario, and generally "stable" (small motions of a node should not …
Oh, here it is (July 2018). It's nice that this report back didn't include any names or initials so I didn't need to sanitize it:
Meeting Notes:
Table-top exercise scenario topic was state and far-right repression.
Responses:
Strong networks require redundancy, so no one person is a social connection, skills, or resource gatekeeper. These people are often targeted by the state, and if they get burned out and leave, it also weakens and jeoprodizes groups.
Ways to strengthen our networks:
Mentoring/sharing responsibility. Creating a culture of mentorship and support so new people learn skills, take on responsibilities, and are introduced to other folks. Reducing burden on a few key people too.
Chaos Monkey exercise: ask central people to step back from communications/organizing to see what happens.
Regular check-ins! & Delegates check-in with new members they sign up
Ask well connected folks to introduce people to build social redundancy.
Gaming (D&D, board games, etc) committee could support a more fun, and socially robust network.
Practical safety tool:
Burner phone. Not everyone needs one, but good to have access to.
TO DO LIST:
Make regular announcements at each meeting for people to check-in with folks they know (especially those they haven’t heard from in awhile!)
Start google doc for disaster preparedness zine
Why you should prepare (ideological argument)
What people should have (the basics)
How to prepare
Frame as questions, so people can find the answer that best suits themselves.
Such as “what are you preparing for?”
Where do you spend most of your time? (home? Office? car?)
Make it as easy as possible for folks to get the basics (list locations for supplies, etc.)

Früher Feierabend wegen vom AG gewährten "Summer Hours".
Genutzt für einen Spaziergang um den Lago Laprello und Abendessen am Marktplatz in Heinsberg.
Jetzt bei böigem Wind und 23°C auf der heimischen Terrasse. Fühlt sich ein wenig frisch an 🥶

Oupsi. 🤪
