“One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family’s lawyer said.”

And no, they weren’t deported. Citizens can’t be. They were TRAFFICKED.

Beloved programming community: many of you are hearing about the US DoJ threatening Wikipedia.

Some of you are thinking of ways to thwart this. Download the Wikipedia dumps, put it on IPFS or hand-couriered USB drives or other less-censorable systems.

A good impulse, but missing the point.

Wikipedia is not just a big document or a software artifact.

Its true value is that it is effortlessly available to a wide audience, can be updated rapidly, with no preconditions to view or edit.

ACLU — NEW ORLEANS: “ICE deported at least two families, including 2 mothers and their minor children – 3 of whom are U.S. citizen children aged 2, 4, and 7. One of the mothers is currently pregnant... 1 child with cancer deported without medication…” www.aclu.org/press-releas...

The US isn’t deporting US citizens kids with cancer, because deportation is the act of expelling a foreign person. The US is sending children with cancer into exile in another country.

That’s who we are now.

I realize only a handful of you actually #MaskUP and care about this...

But this is pretty unsettling.

Apparently ICE is jamming wifi when coming to door knock, which knocks out many video feeds like Ring doorbells and Simplisafe cameras.

You don’t need to hide shit as a federal agent unless what you are doing is reprehensible and illegal.

I’ve been a part of a lot of communities online & in real life; have helped lead some too. It’s never failed that the ones that avoid hard conversations, that prop up privilege, that celebrate power, that cover up bad behavior, that asks abused to apologize to abuser for outing them publicly, let folks call marginalized folks assholes for standing up for themselves, etc etc end up failing to affect real change in the long run and perpetuate lots of harm instead.

Be better. Want better.

@adam Shame is a product of either accountability (when it’s driven by community) or conviction (when it comes from inside the person). It’s a force that allows us to grow into being better humans. Is it uncomfortable? Yeah. If it wasn’t we wouldn’t grow. Should it be tossed? Only if you are bent on maintaining your power & privilege.

@adam Accountability is the bedrock of safety in any community. If power & privilege refuse it for themselves, those without p & p will never be safe. If accountability is only doled to those without p & p, the community will never be safe. Anyone telling you they don’t want it isn’t looking for a salon or real community.

Back to the original point: I’m not going to let fascists into our community, period. I understand that having dinner with a fascist might be a valid way to change their heart, but that would be *my* choice to do, individually, and not something to which I would subject an entire community. To revisit the earlier example from Brandon’s post, the F3 leader should absolutely have dinner with a member of the Proud Boys if he wants, but he shouldn’t make the other people in the group do it too.

If you find yourself feeling shame about something, maybe the most constructive approach isn’t to encourage behaviors that shield yourself or others from that feeling, but rather to lean into it. To explore what happened and then consider how to right the wrong that’s behind it. Every mistake is a chance to learn and grow.

Pointing to a problem is one way to address the problem. I realize that a lot of people who frequent the more genteel online spaces prefer that to happen in private, presumably to avoid embarrassment. But public discussions of problems with public behavior in an open communities can be critical to building trust through transparency.

As for the whole section about shame and exclusion, I’m struggling to understand exactly what he’s trying to say. That harmful people with unjust views shouldn’t be excluded from things? I disagree. People should be excluded from wherever they’re not welcome.

As for shame: shame isn’t something that someone *does* to you; shame is what you *feel* when you know that you’ve done something wrong. If someone points out that you’ve done something wrong, it’s just that: pointing to a problem.
