"This interview is a reflection on the successes and missteps of the Koreatown Popular Assembly (KPA), an attempt at neighborhood based organizing that existed from 2016-2022 and aimed to confront the first Trump administration’s deportation policies. With Trump now back in power, many are once again looking for models to defend themselves and their communities from an even more rabidly anti-immigrant agenda."

Signal provides:
- Excellent protection against third party interception of communications (wiretapping).
- Limited protection against compromised (hacked) or lost devices
- No protection against certain common usage mistakes (accidentally including a reporter in your large group war planning chat).

If you look at the systems that are supposed to be used for classified communications, the underlying cryptography isn’t particularly different from Signal (the AES cipher can be used to protect classified material). That’s not what failed here.
The difference is that systems like Signal are designed to *facilitate* communication with anyone. Classified systems are designed to *limit* communication to authorized recipients.
Both are sensible for their respective - very different - purposes.

If Elon does end up being forced to step down from Tesla, remember this:
1. They didn't ask him to step down after telling advertisers to go fuck themselves if they didn't want their products next to Twitter Nazis.
2. They didn't ask him to step down after doing a Nazi salute on live national TV.
3. They didn't ask him to step down after he put Nazi youth in charge of cutting veterans benefits, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, or USaid.
They could have.
But no. They're doing this because the stock prices are spiralling. And the only reason that's happening is because of the Tesla protests.
Keep going. Become ungovernable. It's working.

Historically, it takes 11% of the population to commit to repeated nonviolent protest in order to enact change.
However, if the insurrection turns violent, it only takes about 3% of the population.
Conclusion: Violence is 3x as effective as nonviolence.
Does that mean the nonviolent protests are ineffective? No. It does mean that when those protests include property damage like vandalism and arson, they're FAR MORE LIKELY to succeed.
The gap between the two versions of events raises questions about who is in charge of White House policy.
A liar.

Rubio, fall guy?
Trump: “I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it. Other people handled it. But Marco Rubio’s done a great job. And he wanted them out, and we go along with that. We want to get criminals out of our country.”

Czy #umami to #smak #ostry, czy po cichu zostały podmienione? Czy może od początku polskie źródła to źle tłumaczyły?
Ale kuchnia taoistyczna ma te 2000 lat z hakiem, a smak umami odkryto oficjalnie dopiero w 20. wieku.

Studies like this analysis of weather station data have shown that increasing heat and rainfall extremes are already far outside the historical climate.

I've just watched a family on the morning news, talking about the recent floods in their area (not the first, either). They were saying the local council, the state govt, the federal govt weren't doing enough to support them.
Not a word about how about we stop burning fossil fuel? Nothing about we can't continue the way we are, because these events are happening more often with greater impact each time.
People just don't get it.
