RE: https://mastodon.social/@BenRiceM/116980424345560765
This thread is, well, you’ll just have to read it. I didn’t know anything about the Ulm 5. It’s tragic.
In short, five brave human being destroyed some Israeli weapon equipment. No harm to any humans. Just equipment. And they’re being treated like mass serial killers. Certainly with violations of human rights. All in the name of helping Palestinians (and beyond).
If you do read through, you’ll probably want to research more. I will be doing that today.
As an aside, there’s a fund raiser link at the close of the thread. I’m donating today and hope others will do the same.

🚨 U.S. folks. There is one day left to comment on the FCC proposed rule to eradicate anonymity on all phone lines!
If they pass this rule government ID, physical address, and alternative phone number will be required for every new phone line. Anonymous phone lines and burner phones will cease to exist. That means no connected privacy via cellular at protests.
** Please add your comment! **
For the first field (proceedings) use these two:

J.K. Rowling is actively and aggressively using her wealth to attack Amnesty International. Specifically, she is trying to bankrupt them because they criticized anti-trans organizations.
Let that sink in.
1. She’s not just anti-trans. She’s pro-violence against trans folks. Because, yes, anti-trans organizations invoke violence against trans folks.
2. She’s so committed to this that she's trying to bankrupt the largest human-rights organization on the planet.
That’s nazi behavior. She’s a nazi.

TIL about Atlantic Bluefin Tuna:
1. Can swim up to 43 mph (69 km/h). Their wide fins retract and their eyes are flush with their bodies.
2. They are blue on top and white on bottom to be camouflaged from above and below.
3. Grow up to 6.5 ft (2m) and 550 lbs (249kg).
4. The etymology of “tuna” is Greek, meaning “to rush,” in relevance to their speed.

This. 100%.
It’s all intersectional. Every single injustice that’s happening to every single marginalized group is bound to the rest. To suggest that one is more important than the others is subjective and self-serving.
It’s okay to champion a single cause. Even give it most of your energy. But please avoid telling anyone else how to be an activist or where they should commit their own energy. That dilutes all of our efforts.

They’re either nihilists or they’re the dumbest human beings ever to exist.
And don’t come at me with how they can protect themselves with billionaire stockpiles. You can’t hide from our planet’s fury, no matter how much money you have. The only difference is that you’ll maybe have a more comfotable commute to the end of the human race.

Fosstodon isn’t the first and won’t be the last. Lots of moderators and admins have been toeing this line. Which sucks for the good people with accounts there.
The main reason for all of this is that their admin doesn’t moderate CSAM content. Or much of anything.

Honestly, I don’t give a shit what your reason is for having a Twitter account. There’s no good excuse.

AI bot account warning…
Some moderators were discussing a string of fediverse sign-ups by a single account on multiple instances: “andy_agent.”
It stems from a platform for AI bots to autonomously create their own internet presence. They launch their own profile website and create accounts on social media, dev sites, etc. So we will undoubtedly see more of them.
It’s wild that I even have to write this.

And their description was spot on. He has separation anxiety and always needs a lap.

I had to read this a few times.
I’m a very late-life diagnosis. I spent 50 years of my life thinking there was something wrong with me. That I was simply bad at doing life. Then my therapist thought we should go down a path. And we did.
What I’ve learned is that the longer we go undiagnosed, the more vast and intense our self-accommodations are. Eventually we mask most of it. Which is sad. Helpful, but the wrong way to go about it.
I strongly recommend taking the time to explore it.

My lovely friend @npub17zl…2sc9 visited us in Portland. We met for vegan food and uplifting conversation. She also brought her rad friend @npub1fd2…f2f9 who I met for the first time at lunch. We have tons in common and I’m grateful she introduced us.
What a gift. This was a good day. ❤️

ICE keeps taking kidnapping people I know, or that my family knows in Minneapolis. Today they took the father of my great niece’s boyfriend for no reason. The mom and two boys are afraid they’re next.
This couple has been together for over 30 years. Now she doesn’t know where her husband even is. Imagine that.
How are we gonna stop this? Fuck all with this shit.

Her name was Renee Nicole Good. She was 37. Her mother described her as a gift:
“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”
Update: she is survived by her wife and a 6-year-old daughter.
RIP, Heather. 💔

From section 1-16.200 of the DoJ Justice Manual:
“Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles…unless…no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.”
I’ve seen the video. That murdering nazi could have stepped backward if he thought he was gonna get hit.

Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey at a press conference shortly after ICE murdered a woman on their streets. I edited it down to the most important parts.
His message for ICE: “get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”
It’s cussy, so mind the volume if that matters where you are.

I was doing some research. Apparently the average funeral only has about 10–50 attendees. I had a hard time coming up with 20 people I thought would actually attend my funeral.
I made a list of people I want to be invited to mine. I hope they will come. I don’t want my funeral to be lonely.

A great thing happened today. After a lot of hard work I finally launched the redesign of my website. 🎉
I’m in love with my new typeface and the simple, typography-focused design. I also explored some neat page-transition animations.
It has a sustainability score better than 98% of all websites and is fully accessible even with complex animations.
Crossing the finish line feels great.

In May Ilhan Omar introduced H.R. 3651: Protecting Our Protesters Act of 2025. It’s literally just adding one line to 18 U.S. Code § 242:
“Including the use of force during a response to a protest.”
In short, using excessive force against protesters becomes a federal crime. That’s it.
But it has a 1% chance of being enacted.

When you tell someone you’re an abolitionist, usually the first response is something about “bad apples” and how “it’s not all cops.”
Whether or not you believe that, you must see that the system itself is rotten to the core. Policing is a cult. Cops will protect cops for no other reason than their uniform. That’s a problem. A big one.

Today, many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. My family will be taking advantage of the time given to us to eat and be together. But we will not be celebrating colonialism.
Today is also National Day of Mourning for Native Americans. It was initiated by Frank "Wamsutta" James of the Wampanoag people in 1970.

This is the face of a nazi. His name is Kevin Lunday. He is the fascist boot licker forcibly tasked to take over the U.S. Coast Guard after Donald fired Admiral Linda Fagan on his first day in office.
He has just removed classification of the swastika as a hate symbol. Yeah. It’s now classified as “potentially divisive.”
DIVISIVE! 🤬
If it acts like a nazi, it’s a nazi.

A note of caution about the dictator and his sexual acts with Bill Clinton.
Be aware of unconscious biases and idioms about homophobia and sex shaming.
It’s easy to make a target of the dictator because this contradicts fascist ideals. And also because it’s about wealth, power, and party loyalty.
Just make sure what you say isn’t harmful to the LGBTQ community. It may be unintentional, because that’s how unconscious biases work. Be mindful. Be intentional.

Moderation. It’s a roller coaster.
Today, a (literal) nazi opened an account and began harassing people. We received ~80 reports within minutes. That may be a record.
We suspended the account, of course. But not before a lot of people yelled at us. For the record, this is not preventable when registration is open. We can only react. So be nice.
My gratitude and love for the person behind this report. It made me chuckle. 🫶🏻

Elias Herrera and his cow Bruce bring me a lot of joy. I don’t have Meta/Google accounts, but I check-in to get my fix when I can.
I’m not sure if Elias is a vegetarian, but I’ve never seen him use meat in what he’s cooking. And in a BBQ video he’s grilling veggies/fruit. I’ve read interviews about his care for Bruce, and it’s genuine. He even gives him spa days.
Anyway, I hope this brightens your day. Enjoy!

The Muslims are a Black and Brown queer punk band from Durham NC. Their latest record “Fuck These Fuckin Fascists” is rad.
The chorus of the title track:
Fuck these fuckin’ fascists
Fuck their family and friends
If they defend a fuckin’ fascist
They can fuck off ‘til they’re dead
Yeah. Good shit. It’s basically a record of antifascist anthems.
