Analysis: "What went by 'McCarthyism' was not just one man or one party, it was the bipartisan consensus of our rulers."
Eg, The Smith Act, making membership in the Communist & Socialist Parties a crime, "was a 1940 product of FDR."
"The new McCarthy Era, like the old, has seen brazenly illegal jailings and deportations, false accusations with no evidence, & the destruction of professional careers."

Rex 84: FEMA’s Blueprint for Martial Law. The Roadmap Towards “Police State America”
Civil liberties are being arbitrarily repealed. There is a crackdown on freedom of information.Michel Chossudovsky
Today in 1855, 170 years ago: the American filibuster William Walker disembarks in Nicaragua, financed by the slaveholders of the southern United States in their eagerness to steal new territories.
For No Kings Day, I've chosen to walk with the military burial flag of my father-in-law, who was a WWII veteran. I was there as upon this flag, William Edward Stiles Jr. received his final salute: three volleys from the rifles of the honor guard before it was folded and presented to my mother-in-law by two Navy men. Later, at his memorial, I was astonished to discover that a white man of his era had so many Black friends.
You see my father-in-law's fight against injustice did not end when he returned from the second World War. His fight continued in the civil rights movement negotiating for teachers unions in the shadow of Brown v. Board of Education America. Out of prejudice or fear of the Klu Klux Klan, few white people were willing to do what he did because it meant also representing Black teachers unions.

But Bill Stiles was no racist and (bless his stubborn Irish heart) would sooner risk his life than give an inch to the KKK. When he marched for equal rights with his Black compatriots, he stood at the front. In 1963 Birmingham, Alabama the Klan infamously bombed a Black church. He knew that building.
Were he alive today, William Edward Stiles Jr., would be out there with me. This man, who spent his life standing up for what he knew was right, would have been so proud to know that because of his lived example, one day his Asian-American son-in-law, would choose the flag of his final honor as a symbol of power in distressing times.
I will proudly bear the colors in his name and it is upon this flag that I say to all Americans of privilege, that we are being called to stand up together and meet the moment peacefully, but forcefully.

Weekly reminder:
#AltText is a great thing and adding it to images can help ppl with vision issues participate.
But.
Excluding ppl who don't use AltText by intentionally leaving them out of discourse is an #abelist stance that directly excludes some #neurodivergent ppl.
Telling neurodivergent ppl who can't describe images in words that they have to 'overcome' their processing issues to be considered worthy of interaction is also an abelist stance.
Demanding that they use AI or charity to be included is an abelist stance, tho it is often well intentioned. "But it would be easier for you to be our friend if you brought a sign interpreter" would be pretty rude to say to someone in the deaf community yeah? Same same here.
Alt text is great. I use it. But we need to stop #bullying and #discriminating against those who can't.

I've joined a lot of protests in my home town of Melbourne over the last few decades. And I'm so glad I did.
Being surrounded by like minded souls helps you to feel grounded when so much else is spiralling into chaos. Being reminded you are not alone. Feeling some sense of validation that choosing to care for other people is a good path forward.
I never once believed those protests would change the government. But I knew they would change every one of us who turned up. For the better.

Jammin’ the gooseberries. I’ve got another batch about this size stewing.
So it seems our two gooseberry bushes put out about about 5-6 kilos of fruit. I inefficiently picked 4. I’ll try better next season.
And the three red currant bushes produce about 7 kilos.
The raspberry bushes, maybe a kilo, or a bit more. Not really worth the space they take up, IMO.

The proliferation of conspiracy theories means we're going to see a lot of increased violence against Democratic lawmakers, too, as we just saw in Minnesota. Which is the other way Republicans win, by killing their opposition.

I’m not, but he should be lauded for his messaging against Trump. Other Dem leaders must step up.
@liquor_american Yeah, I think he's a shit too, and hated him as mayor, but when he turned around and said, "I don't care what the courts say or politicians say, gay people can get married in my city"..... well, I gotta say, that took a set of balls and it really made me forgive some of his previous smarmy political BS.
So.... pretty much a political douche, but sometimes he gets it right. And, I guess that's better than most nowadays.

How webcams came to be? Oh, coffee!
The Trojan Room coffee pot was a coffee machine located in the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge, England. It was the subject of the world's first webcam, created by Quentin Stafford-Fraser and Paul Jardetzky in 1991.
It's funny really. The first webcam was invented just to keep an eye on whether the coffee was out or not without having to go in there to do it.
And now today we can watch other people watching virtual coffee pots instead. We've come so far!
