@evacide My favorite advice from the article is about reframing ICE in terms the right wing has always been terrified by. Create the cognitive dissonance that can shake peoples' thoughts free.
"If you’re talking to a Republican and you are a Democrat, don’t feel any need to mention your party loyalties to the person who supposedly represents you. Instead, you could try using the phrase “jackbooted government thugs” (thanks, Wayne LaPierre!) You could say that demanding people produce their papers on demand is communism. You could say that a masked secret police that breaks down doors to abduct citizens out of their own homes is profoundly un-American.
But say it. Say it now, say it tomorrow, say it next week."

That went so well the first 2 times Trump got impeached and had literally less than 0 impact. It actually boosted his ratings.
You can't "call your elected officials" your way out of fascism. The Democrats are literally controlled opposition (outside of a few) that have the exact same donors and just approved the full funding increase of ICE, making them one of the top funded militaries in the world, and highest funded gestapo secret police ever.

Big point....need better leadership in House and Senate.
They definitely are not meeting the moment.
You don't even see them on the news. -

this is not then
there are so many people/reasons/outrages now, even in GOP Congress to some extent
the world is up in arms against Trump, and the US
if at first ... especially when the situation has escalated beyond all sanity -

I love this part too!
'Talk About Immigration, and Make it Clear You Think It’s GOOD
'We are really goddamn lucky as a country that people want to move here. Immigrants are a gift, a completely undeserved gift. We should want them to come. I will note that a whole lot of Trump’s aggression toward Minnesota is specifically toward Somalis, and Somalis are fucking awesome. They are smart, argumentative, hardworking, funny, incredibly diverse in their opinions. (I remember a mid-morning MPR call-in show in 2001 or 2002 that was related to something happening in the Somali community and the host was a little surprised when she was flooded with calls from Somalis, all vigorously disagreeing with each other. I don’t know if she realized that every Somali taxi driver, which was like 95% of the taxi drivers, listened to MPR all day to improve their English.) Somalis arrived here and immediately started getting involved in politics...They treasure education, they want their kids to go to college, they’re aggressively motivated in general. This is an immigrant community that everyone should want and I am SO GLAD they came here to the Twin Cities, despite the fact that we have some of the worst winters in the country and they immigrated from a country where the coldest days are like 68F.
'...Be clear in your conversations that you welcome immigrants, value immigrants, care about immigrants, consider your immigrant neighbors to be an irreplaceable part of your community. Don’t apologize for supporting immigrants. Don’t accept the premise that immigration is a problem. Immigration is good. IMMIGRATION IS GOOD.
'Things are really hard in the Twin Cities right now. But seeing how many people here are working hard every day to protect our neighbors makes me believe that there’s a better world on the other side of this, and we’re going to get there.'

Alex White on what he means by "organic software". A good blog, by the way.
Organic software would represent the hardwork of software craftspeople, aka those that give a shit. Software that is free from data collection, LLM slop and enshiftication. Instead, it would be created with optimized, well tested code and features driven by the best interests of users.

La democrazia come parola d’ordine, non come realtà

@dillyd @jlperuyero the one time I drilled a hole in a piece of seaglass I used a dremel (clone), a diamond tip, and worked under water, following some tutorial found online, and it worked quite nicely and easily
of course I was using a common shape of green glass, and not the good ones :D
I don't know whether those tutorials can still be found on 2026 internet :(
(edit: typo in dremel)

@jlperuyero
I would be afraid of cracking them, but I suppose I could practice first on the more common shapes. I was thinking of wrapping them with wire, but then I wouldn't be able to feel the glass shapes.
