Podcaster with Trump ties calls for a "final solution" of mass deporting Jews.
But he didn't criticize Israel for the genocide in Gaza, so I don't think what he said counts as anti-semitic.

Dear Makers of Lovely and Painful Things,
Thank you for showing us daily the beauty, joy, tenderness, and peace that is possible in this world. Thank you for reflecting the terror, sorrow, horror, and worries that we all share in this world. We need your words, the things you've made, your ideas no matter how small you think they are.
Sometimes you put your music (all of the arts, all of the crafts, all of it) out into the world, and maybe it seems like nobody is listening. You do it anyway and we stumble across it someday and fail to say thank you. We are insecure and don't know how to respond. We have to think about it for a while until it blossoms into something we understand deep in our psyche. You makers rarely hear about it. Yet, you go on making, sharing your ideas with us.
I am saying thank you.

I noticed people talking about a Teen Vogue opinion piece that addresses how younger people are alienated by the Democratic Party. The Dems' useless middle of the road politics have left them feeling abandoned by the party.
Yeah, I feel that way too and I'm in my 50s. You aren't alone.

One of my committee members wants me to cite something from FEMA, some new communications strategies they had started to look at in the white paper stage (this is in the 'future work' section of my dissertation).

Every American Jew should take extreme exception to the disingenuousness of the Trump Regimeβs purported actions against antisemitism on college campuses.
Articles are starting to show up in the press revealing the regime's "Project Esther".
The existence of this project 2025 partner project makes clear what we already knew, the MAGA cult dors not give a π© about anti-Semitism or the well-being of Jews.
We are a nice handy excuse for them to use to go after America's universities and colleges.

@Phil maybe it was shady. but it was open. courts could review and perhaps appropriately review the selectiveness. Trump constantly challenged vote counts in urban districts. it's ugly, but not unlawful. meanwhileβ¦ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Bβ¦
i wasn't so exercised at the time, but i now agree that Bush v. Gore was the beginning of our long catastrophe.
privately asking a governor to "find votes" is quite a different thing. one of Trump's many novel contributions.

I'd like to set up SSO so that I can self-host resources like nodebb, freshrss, and znc, and share them with friends, without those friends having to manage a separate password for every service. Keycloak seems like a decent place to start but it requires a database, and I've always found those a little abstract, I don't know what I need to type to actually install and use one. Can you recommend me a good "just show me the code" tutorial for e.g. postgres on debian 12?
edit: actually, has anyone else here set up SSO for self-hosting, with or without keycloak?

I am not American so I cannot comment directly on this. As a Canadian though, I often make fun of people here because I know what their real problem is.
Their real problem isn't that the bad guys are going to sell off public assets and privatize important services.
Their true fear is their knowledge that their "good guys" aren't going to renationalize sweet shit all when they take power.

in reply to StillIRise1963 • • •Kinda why I'd always turn the tables on other white folks who said George Floyd had a criminal past and was "no hero"...by agreeing.
Something like, "Sure. Next time some white Karen is having a meltdown and threatening a teenager in Walmart for asking her to wear a mask, we should just send in the cops to murder her. Judge, jury, executioner. Just kill the bitch on camera and post the footage on YouTube. She's no hero".
Then suddenly they believe in due process. Go figure. π€·ββοΈ
