Just watching the white house press conference which is making reference to the person recently deported to El Salvador, who apparently ahd a order preventing this.

SO accorcing to the person giving the press conference ( I didn't catch the start) he was a MS-13 member.

So WHO exactly is telling the truth on this, the video posted suggested he was innocent and should not be deported, but the Republicans are saying otherwise.

What is going on.?

@uk

Do does 'active' social media users include those solely on the Fedvierse platforms?

Found this in the i Newspaper

'People protest against the Israeli government, and call for an end to the war, in Tel Aviv this month'

I also read where young people in Israel are refusing the Draft.

'The lies are undeniable. Fifteen bodies are discovered, shot and buried in a mass grave. The dead are Palestinian men, most dressed in uniform as Red Crescent paramedics and Civil Defence first responders. The Israel Defence Forces admit the killing'

Whistleblower reveals evidence on how Elon Musk's DOGE team extracted 10 GB of sensitive data about American citizens from a government agency, and then deleted accounts and logs to cover their tracks.

Then, when the whistleblower tried to report the data breach, he received a threatening letter containing pictures taken from a drone watching him walking his dog.

A move right out of the right wing & Communist playbook, and with social media giants and fox spreading the sort of 'news' narrative that trump approves of, things are going exactly as he (and I guess project 2025) planned.

What next, he is already attacking the internet. The need for decentralised social media is more important than ever before, the need to fire up old services such as usenet, gopher etc are perhaps also needed.

We cannot risk being at the mercy of the USA when it comes to access to essential medicines.

@youranoncentral.bsky.social
Problem solved now that the USA has no allies to call on anymore. Have fun with your solo China engagement, I'm betting on China. The remaining free democracies need to kick Nazi-USA out of NATO asap.

#infosec people, THIS is big and you need it in front of management RIGHT NOW.

MITRE has informed the CVE board members that effective TONIGHT, funding to run CVE and CWE is effectively gone. The US federal government contracts MITRE to run these programs including both management, operations, and infrastructure.

This not only could but almost certainly will result in disruptions to CVE and CWE including a halt of all operations if new contracts/funding are not secured.

JD Vance is not 100% useless, he would make a great tackle bag for a defensive or offensive line to hit as hard as possible,

I agree it is a worrying trend, one that will be upon us by the time we realise what has haopened, We have sleepwalked in to a MAGA presendency as it is, and don't see a problem with Musk calling the shots and a deadly measles outbreak growing daily due to I guess lack of vaccindation.

The current israel governmetn is not representative of jews generally you can see that with the Anti Netanyahu protests, people just want their friends, family back. But that is clear generally. Just not reported.

Israel has a hardlined government, and I agree this will just make it stronger, but it will need to dig heels in, in order to survive in the current form. If I understand things properly Netenyah is facing corruption charges and one of the reasons he wants to cling to power, is so he does not have to appear before a judge on these and other charges, now there is an arrest warrent for him, it will be interesting to see how any court responds when that day comes.

The fact people are worried about speaking out will also empower the far right to do what they want anywhere, we see Trump just trashing the US constitution with impunity, which makes me wonder how well do Americans even under stand their own laws and constitution, social media and mainstream media are just playing the same game to keep what is happening hidden.

Given what is going on in Gaza, everyone can see it is a human tradgedy, and I guess no one wants to be seen supporting such disproportionate actions by israel, esp as there are rules of engagement. The civilian cost is far to high.

@touaregtweet @JugglingWithEggs

We need to make it compulsory learning, but does it come under history or something else, perhaps if the point of learning about the holocaust is to stop it happening it needs to be integrated in to more than one subject.

Also define when it started, the concentration camps were part of the 'final solution' up to that and prior to 1939 jews and minority groups were being persecuted, and prior to that, we had the rhetoric of hate that meant hitler gained power.

surely we need to stop people fueled by hatred and predudice gaining power, rather than trying to stop people once they have gained power.
