By mistake the Trump administration deports a family’s father plus a gay hairdresser thinking that they both were gang members.
This is exactly why people are offered due process when charged with a crime — so a rogue government cannot harm the innocent.

I read this yesterday and felt so bummed. I already moved away from journalism for something more stable and now even my more secure job is looking less sure because of this garbage.
What are society and culture going to be like when the only people employed are engineers and lawyers?
@MLE_online Yeah. I miss being on the car culture beat, but there's hardly any places for that left that pay worth a damn or even have space for other people. Every time I've had to look for a new job, it's resulted in an existential-crisis-level round of severe depression.
Society is so cooked. 🙁

in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •So maybe I am using the service wrong, but how do I view videos from multiple instances in one feed? When I try to make an account, it appears that I only get videos from the instance I am on. I would like to see from every server that talks to the one I am on. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I wish there was better implementation into mastodon. It feels jarring to have to do things that feel like work arounds to see videos on mastodon too.
Fedi.Tips
in reply to Only Exception • • •If you follow a PeerTube account from Mastodon, the videos appear in your feed and you can interact with them just like you would with any other post. For example click on @helenmclaughlin
Was there a particular thing you wanted to do that felt workaroundish?
About PeerTube instances, the videos they show on their own site depend on what the admin wants to do. Some of them just show local videos, some show entire other instances, some show just particular accounts.

in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •I wanted a comment section within mastodon for the peer tube video. Specifically to send a comment to the video.
I also want it to show related videos after it ends.
keep in mind I gave up on trying to figure out intergration as I was gettnig lost and consufesd.
could you please point me to a peertube instance that is widely connected? I have tried the sign up page but alot of instances don't take new accounts.And many have content prefrences too.
Fedi.Tips
in reply to Only Exception • • •You can comment on a video by just replying to it within Mastodon. Replies get converted into comments automatically. Also ⭐ becomes 👍
You can see related videos if you click on the video link to open it on its own PeerTube site.
"could you please point me to a peertube instance that is widely connected?"
You might want to try sepiasearch.org if you want to search a very wide range of instances. This is the official search engine run by PeerTube themselves.
