The most popular fediverse platforms are not American.

That's awesome. Together we're proving that a world of thriving alternatives exist beyond the USA.

We need to embrace that.

So I started https://MadeInCanada.social for my fellow Canadians.

Let's show the world how magical #ActivityPub is 🚀

Renee Nicole Good’s family have released preliminary autopsy details.

It’s bad.

She was shot three times and the first two shots were non lethal.

One to her forearm and one to her right breast which missed all major organs.

She could have survived that.

Jonathan Ross was well outside the path of the vehicle at that point and leaned into the driver’s side window to deliver the third shot.

It went through her left temple and exited the right side of her head.

It was murder. Plain and simple.

Every ICE agent who failed to render aid should be charged as an accessory, and Ross should be arrested immediately.

The government must stop covering for killers.

ICE murders mothers and the US Government covers for ICE.

And they want to force that lifestyle onto the rest of us, those Paedos in what remains of the White House...

Man am I glad I’m not 17 right now. Teenage me would definitely have been making a hobby out of fucking with ICE agents and wound up beaten up in some detention center.

Older me is making a list and checking it twice, because we are going to get our motherfucking country back one day, and when we do, we’re going to put these feckless walking snotrockets in jail.

And, just like the fighters of the PLO, those who resist ICE's reign of fascist terror will be themselves labeled terrorists by the ruling elite.

And now something positive:

solar and wind energy production in the EU surpasses fossil energy for the first time.

The DOJ indicted “Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver in one of the largest-ever crypto tax fraud cases.

Those familiar with the case said the evidence was “rock solid” and that prosecutors were confident of a conviction.

Then Donald Trump won a second term.

Ukrainian State Emergency Service divers conducted a unique underwater operation at Kyiv's thermal power plant after the Russian attack during bitter cold, down to -15°C.

After Russian attacks, one of Kyiv's thermal power plants was flooded due to a damaged pipe. It would have been extremely difficult to repair the equipment that supplies heating and electricity to thousands of homes in Kyiv.

The divers worked in icy water for SIX days. They were able to stop the leak

Launching their new social network, W, a group in the EU posted a map of where other social networks are hosted. It showed nothing in Europe.

But their map is wrong.

Here's what Mastodon actually looks like, and what the Fediverse as a whole actually looks like.

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.

It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge.

No wonder ICE hid this memo!

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

Reminder: He was almost the attorney general. Gaetz was felon rapist Donald’s first choice for United States Attorney General.

The Guardian has the heartbreaking story of the near-total erasure of Black singer, actor and athlete Paul Robeson.

Despite achieving greatness across multiple fields, Robeson was blacklisted for being politically incorrect during the McCarthy witch-hunts, by failing to denounce the USSR sufficiently.

Y'know, because American conservatives love free speech...

"His talent was prodigious. Robeson integrated Broadway in 1943, the first Black man to play Othello in the United States. Previous productions of Shakespeare’s jealous Moor casted white actors in blackface, and Robeson’s Othello run of 296 performances remains a Broadway record for a Shakespeare production. A two-time All-American at Rutgers, he was one of the greatest college football players in history. He graduated from Columbia Law, and, before becoming world renowned as a concert singer, stage and Hollywood actor, Robeson even played defensive end for two years in the National Football League. The Robeson legacy spawned a staggering list of Black stage performers, from Lena Horne to Harry Belafonte, James Earl Jones, Andre Braugher, Keith David and Denzel Washington. At his peak, Paul Robeson was the most famous Black American in the world.

"And yet for his refusal to denounce the Soviet Union as cold war tensions increased, Robeson was isolated by both the white mainstream and by the respectable pillars of the Black establishment – the NAACP, the Urban League and many leading Black political and cultural voices who feared being branded communist by the rising conservative tide.
...
"This week marks 50 years since Robeson’s death and the silence remains. His erasure from the lineage over the decades shows that what Robeson’s political opponents did not take from him, the years have most certainly. Robeson’s decoupling from the story of African American culture has been so complete that in the half-century since his death, even generations of Black Americans have never heard of him."

Navy vet responds: "If I had done this to an enemy prisoner under my control in the warzone, or if as an officer I had allowed this by any man under my command, I would still be in prison right now. This is the American government doing it to an American."
