The Trump admin just admitted that a Salvadoran man was deported in error. Shockingly, Trump and JD Vance don’t seem to want to fix their mistake"—and the implications of that are dark💔.

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.

Every American Jew should take extreme exception to the disingenuousness of the Trump Regime’s 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 💩 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. meanwhile… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_B…
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.

He's not, and he's on his way out, there's a mayoral election soon.
The old fuck-up governor of NY state who got driven out of office due to sexual misconduct (Cuomo) is running, but a progressive (Zohran Mamdani) is making good strides as well. They are the front runners at the moment.
NYC has ranked choice voting, which makes it possible to vote for who you want without "wasting" your vote, so Zohran has a good chance.

in reply to James Gleick 🇺🇦 • • •We need to start referring to ICE as TRUMPS GESTAPO because they seriously are BREAKING THE LAW which disqualifies them from being legitimate.
There is nothing we can do right now aside from waiting for enough Republicans to be fucked over by Trump
BECAUSE IT IS THE REPUBLICANS THAT WILL TAKE HIS ASS DOWN. Or they agree that they all WANT to kiss Trump's ass. And although that was the WINNING PROPOSITION Trump's first term, in order to continue to stand behind Trump NOW, you have to abdicate YOUR OWN POWER TO HIM. MAGA Cult THOUGHT they were going to be TREATED BETTER THAN THE LIBS, but Trump, every single day, is proving that THEY ARE NOT SAFE EITHER.
The militia that promised they were stocking ALL THEIR GUNS TO FIGHT A TYRANT, will eventually understand that they HELPED TO BRING THAT TYRANT INTO POWER
And although the militias are literally FILLED WITH TOTAL ASSHOLES, all it will take is for Trump to out asshole them to change their mind
