"My main takeaways from listening to the Supreme Court oral argument today are

-the writing is on the wall for the Voting Rights Act

-the Republican justices are now throwing racist spaghetti at that wall; they'll pass of whatever sticks as the opinion's rationale."

"MAGA is trying to scare us into staying home, but in doing so, they’re showing us their hand. The more people turn out for these events, the more media coverage they receive, and visuals are shared online -- it becomes clear just how big the movement opposing Trump in America has become."

"Professor Stanislav Vysotsky, an expert on fascism: 'Yes, this is classic authoritarianism. It’s an intentional framing of the opposition as violent and dangerous in order to dehumanize them, which then justifies a violent crackdown. Authoritarians routinely paint their opposition as a menacing existential threat to peace and safety for just that reason.'”

"No Kings organizer Ezra Levin was asked by HuffPost why rhetoric from Republicans has gotten so hysterical about the rallies: 'I don’t think it’s that complicated. The one thing an unpopular authoritarian regime is scared of is mass, organized, peaceful people-power. That is it."

Is it a good idea to setup a mail server for smol mailboxes and to open registration for free with invitation links for example?
The goal would be to reduce volume of emails, as #smolweb reduces the size of websites.

Something smol like:

• one common domain name (something in .casa TLD)
• in a French datacenter
• 128 Mb of storage
• 10 Mb max per email (sent or received)
• 10 recipient addresses per email (can't be used for mailing)
• limited sent per hour (no spam)
• IMAP / POP3 / SMTP (over TLS)
• Webmail (for desktop and mobile)
• autodeleted if full for several months (to free space for newcomers)

Are you interested by such a #mailbox ?

Please share this toot to have a good idea of the interest.

Indiana University's fascist-leaning leadership fired the student media advisor and zapped the student newspaper because it dared to do actual journalism. The students have published it anyway, here:

And please spread the news these scumbag administrators censored.

I have come away from every protest, rally, and march I’ve ever attended encouraged despite the circumstances those events took place in. Solidarity is incredibly important and it’s an empowering reminder to find yourself among so many people who align with your concerns.

We’re making one million calls to voters to help Virginia Democrats build a vital defense against Trump’s authoritarian overreach — a Democratic trifecta in his own backyard.

Hi there! This is #nakeddiefriday again!

Today I'd like to present you one of frequent sources of pain for C64 owners, the infamous PLA. This is MOS 7700R2. They failed way too often, and considering this is custom silicon, the only option was to get another one of the same.

Many thanks to @root42 for providing this sample!
