#TrumpRegime:🚨shifting its tone on how it handles #immigrants brought to the US as children under the DACA program.

In recent months, the regime has tried to strip 525K DACA recipients (Dreamers), of benefits, although no reg chgs have been made to end the program.

HHS said it'd make DACA recipients ineligible for the fed HC mktplace in June.

Suggesting they self-deport is beyond the pale. Protect #DACA! These ppl are among the best & brightest.

Has anyone suggested to the Nazis that they can self-deport if they don't like it here?

moresci.sale/@birds/1149385318… birds@moresci.sale - Slaty-backed Gull

Thickset, short-winged, pot-bellied gull. Adult has dark gray back and wings, intense pink legs, and an especially large white “crescent” (white tertial edges) near the wingtips when perched. Breeding adult white-headed; nonbreeding birds have variably heavy brown streaking on the head and upper breast. Takes four years for immatures to progress from mostly brown to fully white and gray adult plumage; intermediate plumages are often mottled and messy. Often looks rather frosty by the first winter; starts to develop a gray back and whitish eye in its second year. Primarily an Asian species, found in coastal regions from Japan and South Korea to Russia. Regularly occurs in western Alaska, but very rare elsewhere in North America.

President Trump:

"[New deadline for Russia] - 10 days from today. And then we're going to put on tariffs and stuff. I don't know if it's going to affect Russia because he [Putin] wants to, obviously, probably keep the war going. It may or may not affect them, but it could."

A quotation from Lincoln

To correct the evils, great and small, which spring from want of sympathy, and from positive enmity, among strangers, as nations, or as individuals, is one of the highest functions of civilization.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1859-09-30), Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, Milwaukee

So, does this "goo.gl" problem actually mean all the goo.gl stuff, or is it just third-party URLs getting cut? Gmaps is still creating maps.app.goo.gl links.

mastodon.social/@jpmens/114937…

(For the record I think URL shorteners are very dumb and very bad, but regardless here we are so.)

Update: @denschub points out that Google Apps are getting a pass: mastodon.schub.social/@denschu…


Y'all still have this on your calendars, right?!

“Any developers using links built with the Google URL Shortener in the form goo.gl/* will be impacted, and these URLs will no longer return a response after August 25th, 2025. We recommend transitioning these links to another URL shortener provider.”

Edit to add quotation marks and say URL shortening sucks for more than one reason

Given it's Google, I wouldn't be too surprised if the answer is "we had this built by a fresh graduate that we like to exploit so much, the shitty Go codebase is too hard to maintain, Gemini didn't manage to refactor it, and more profit is more good, so fuck you, internet". Because, well, capitalism.
in reply to Dennis Schubert

I suspect it might be simpler still. Have you looked at alerts.google.com or code.google.com recently? They just... put up placeholders and forgot about them.

Maybe it's nothing more complicated than, nobody's getting promoted for this, nobody gets promoted for maintenance anything so nobody cares.
