I am a little scared to ask for personal reasons and not Fedi related costs but since we just finally got a new home I just had to prepaid for 3 months rent for our new home and that almost leaves us with not much left 💸

So this one time I would ask for those who want and and also can help us out a little, I will repay this later back into the server costs❤️

TikTok users freak out over app’s ‘immigration status’ collection – here’s what it means | TechCrunch:

"But despite the panic, this disclosure isn’t new — and it doesn’t mean what many users fear. The same language appeared in TikTok’s privacy policy before the ownership deal closed"

For a regime using all of America’s pre-existing tools to become a fascist state, this is a very silly argument for why people shouldn’t ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2026/01/24/tiktok-users-freak-out-over.html

OK so I'm gonna need people who are not in #Minneapolis / #Minnesota right now sharing things like "wow I can't believe ICEpointed a gun at that kid/mom/person/group/etc" to realize

this is THE NORM now. they point their guns at everyone. they come to your door? guns. they think you're in the way? guns? you tell em to fuck off? guns. they point guns. that's what they do

they're not like local cops who are supposed to file a report when they do that. they will point their gun at you. it is how they operate.

we have sunk to the low of our gov whisking ppl away to avoid having to "give" them what are actually their rights:

"...have urged the court to issue a broader order blocking the government from transferring individuals outside of Minnesota for at least seven days after they are given an opportunity to contact legal counsel, and bar out-of-state transfers for people with pending habeas petitions, meaning they have ongoing challenges to their detention."

I am terrified of what is going on in #minneapolis and now #Maine . They are going after literal babies for the crime of not being a US Citizen. The next thing will be working to undo things like birthright citizenship or just going after ethnicity openly as a whole regardless if they are citizens. If they got their way with this my aunt would lose her citizenship, my cousins and my parents. Ironically I would still be "safe" until they decided something more draconian like "Heritage American" but it's the most depraved bizarre thing this pushes to denaturalize people who have already been here, not bothering anyone and are some of the hardest workers in this country. The fixation on picking off Latino and Somali immigrants almost is giving a preview of this.

With the Trump regime incarcerating unprecedented numbers of children in its ICE terror raids, the odds are extremely high that it is violating the Flores Agreement. Expect to see more reporting on this as attorneys responsible for monitoring compliance gather more information. These attorneys are adept at tracking seized minors and accessing relevant facilities. 4/

That decision prompted at least six senior prosecutors in the office to resign in protest."

"The blood was only ever a means to an end," the vampire confessed in the interview.

"To what end?" the reporter asked.

"Blood carries vigor, life force, vital energy. That's what we feed on."

"So how do you get it, if not through blood?"

"These days, we make doom scrolling apps to drain it."

I've seen a lot of photos showing the massive crowds gathered in Minneapolis today, but I want to remind folk that today was actually a day of economic blackout, and the protests and other events were there to help us bond, learn, teach, and share.

But the main show was actually the complete lack of activity and spectacle around the normal center of life: the economy.

We'll never get an honest accounting of how that went down, but I know in addition to the indie stores that shut down, a LOT of folk working corporate gigs didn't go to work today.

I think this photo, showing one of the main stretches of highway into the city, during what should be rush hour, instead showing a smattering of cars, is one of the better demonstrations of that part of today.

Back when I did a *ton* of interviewing at Google, folks sometimes asked what they should do before going for interviews; my answer (for working programmers) was "take a couple of weeks, or a month of weekends, and just write complete programs, end to end, that do something."

Complete programs. End-to-end. That do something.
