How Bars Are Responding to ICE Raids
Amid ICE raids, bars and restaurants are preparing their staff for the worst. Here, organizers and immigration experts share their resources.

That’s almost certainly the better strategy for them, even if the cynical view is true and they really are an investment org and not an educational institution at heart. We know that caving to bullies just marks you as a target. We know that, as @… said, those who resist grow in stature, and those who capitulate emerge as shadows of themselves (https://www.theindex.media/p/donald-trump-can-t-make-cowards-of-us-all). If Harvard is a brand, well….
But investment is a fear-driven world, and there’s a lot of fear circulating.

On the Classical Hardness of the Semidirect Discrete Logarithm Problem in Finite Groups
The semidirect discrete logarithm problem (SDLP) in finite groups was proposed as a foundation for post-quantum cryptographic protocols, based on the belief that its non-abelian structure would resist quantum attacks. However, recent results have shown that SDLP in finite groups admits efficient quantum algorithms, undermining its quantum resistance. This raises a fundamental question: does the SDLP offer any computational advantages over the standard discrete logarithm problem (DLP) against cl…

Apple's removal of ICEBlock raises questions about the limits of what the company will resist under the Trump administration's increasingly outrageous demands (John Gruber/Daring Fireball)

It’s rather chilling to consider what Apple would have done if the Trump administration had “demanded” a list of device IDs and user identities for everyone who had installed ICEBlock. Or what Apple *will* do if such a demand pops into one of their dimwitted but cruel minds.

So “Plenary Authority” is what they're (Stephen Miller) calling #TheAmericanFascist's 'right' to ignore precedents and laws and deploy the National Guard and threaten to incarcerate elected officials who might resist.
"Plenary authority, with its sweeping, unchecked assumption of power, has previously been compared to the powers to rule by decree forced through by the governments of dictators, including Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler.”

I know it was 3000 years ago now, but I want everyone to remember that Portland beat Trump last time because normal people came out every night to resist.
Portland made Trump look weak once. He pulled out everything he had to terrorize and intimidate people, and federal agents got pushed out of the city anyway. He was embarrassed. Now he can do more and he probably thinks that he has more time, but Portland maybe able to prove him wrong.
Portland ended Trump's presidency once, and it can happen again... especially if Portland keeps doing a good job of reminding everyone that the whole invasion is an attempt to distract from #Epstein.
