HAPPENING NOW: “Heavy military presence outside the Broadview ICE facility in Illinois.
Snipers can be seen on top of armored vehicles. Protesters are also being arrested.
This is insane. This is not America anymore.”— R/t Ron Smith #press

Hello! My name is Baslow and, though I have never applied the term to myself, it appears that in some quarters I am regarded as "an enemy of the state"

The first Anti-Racist Action stuff was basically in Minneapolis and Portland, very similar working class industrial cities at the time. Basically anti-racist whites worked with POC comrades and broke the back of the nazis. The liberal account is here: amazon.com/Hundred-Little-Hitl…
But the antifa account is basically folks came together to fight off the street-level thugs and after a bunch of street fighting the nazis ran away.
There were always anarchists and radicals here, like Marie Equi, but none of that changes that Portland was notoriously overwhelmingly conservative and corrupt.

Lovely Peeps, I hope this is an easy question for you lot. 🙏
Does anyone know of a free video capture software? Something that will capture audio and video of a YT video, online lecture, or similar as it is playing.
I am specifically thinking of online lectures, and probably via Moodle, if that helps / makes a difference.
Audio/visual quality has to be reasonable, but the purpose is so I can record them when I have an internet connection, and play them back when I don't. (Which is at least half the time. 😬)
FWIW, Obsidian has a core plugin that will record audio - awesome! The quality isn't stellar (may be my system; it's pretty basic! 😄), but a quick test seems to be fine for my purpose. 🎉
However, I hope to find something that will record audio *&* video if possible.
Any ideas, you lovely brilliant peeps?
Thank you! 🙏

National Security Directive Declares War on Those Who Don’t Support Trump Agenda
With the mainstream media distracted by the made-for-TV drama of James Comey’s indictment, Trump has signed a little-noticed national security directive identifying “anti-Christian” and “anti-American” views as indicators of radical left violence. Called National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, it’s being referred to as “NSPM-7” by administration insiders. “This is the first time in…

It has been 6 months since I passed my viva, yet I forgot to share my thesis here 
(due to it feeling unreal af... until... today :)
It's called 'The Image at the End of the World: Communities of practice redefining technology on a damaged Earth'. In it I describe communities which give voice and shape to different definitions and roles for technology within the polycrisis: permacomputing, computing within limits, collapse informatics, salvage computing, slow tech, redundant technology, low-tech, feminist technology, convivial computing, disability driven development and more.

in reply to (((Baslow))) • • •This image depicts the cover of a book titled “How to Be an Anti-Capitalist in the 21st Century” by Erik Olin Wright. The book cover is a dark color, possibly black or navy blue. All of the text on the cover is rendered in a bright, bold yellow color. The title, “How to Be an Anti-Capitalist in the 21st Century”, is stacked vertically in large font sizes, with “How to” at the top, followed by “Be an”, then “Anti-Capitalist”, and finally “in the 21st Century”. Below the title, in a smaller font size, is the author’s name: “Erik Olin Wright”. The overall design is simple and focuses on the impactful, contrasting yellow text against the dark background.
