For all my known and unknown #USA friends, preparing for their Saturday day out (Why is it called #MayDay anyway - it is #April5 - or is it after the distress call?).
- Stay hydrated.
- Stay (reasonably) safe.
- Support your local #Antifa.
And learn five easy signs to recognize a guy who came to serve and to protect (not necessarily you).
Also, get prepared: nrdc.org/stories/how-protest-s…

Fox News host Jesse Watters on future plans regarding Greenland:
“And being friendly to the world is what got us in this mess. We're not in high school. We don't need friends. Every country puts their interests first, and when our interests align, we can do business. And when they don't - that's life. If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland… we're big boys - we dropped eight bombs on Japan and now they're our top ally

I've got my doubts concerning Usha being an ok person because she is married to a characterless and at the same time stupid opportunist and liar with no manners whatsoever, and even joins in with his indisputable imperialistic and warmongering political pull-ups.
Hello, #RSS people!
For an activism news aggregator I need a solution to convert
- Fediverse (AP) streams
- Bluesky (??) streams
into RSS, for aggregation and further refederation.
Bonus, if it can be done via a #Friendica, or some lightweight #microblogging instance.

Unknown parent • • •@adamshostack This is the part that's especially concerning. We don't know what the arrest was about (and whether it was even for a crime or an immigration matter), but it's hard to imagine what reason there could be for the university to scrub its website as if he never worked there.
Either the government put pressure on them or the university was involved in whatever it was about.

in reply to Matthew Green • • •I found an update on Xiaofeng Wang & Nianmi Ma just now. Their lawyer has given a statement. Still sounds very suspicious all around -- note the bit about "clearing their name" and that they still refuse to say what the investigation was about:
