(Nevada) A Henderson man faces a terror-related charge for allegedly threatening to kill Jewish people, documents said. Last week, a Clark County grand jury voted to indict Michael Tomasino, 38, on a charge of making threats or conveying false information concerning an act of terrorism, records said. On March 11, an anonymous user on 4chan, later identified as Tomasino, posted about β[killing] Jews and [committing] suicide,β documents said. βIβm an antisemite and Iβm going to kill as many as you [expletive] [expletives] as I can before I commit suicide,β the post said, according to police. The FBI became aware of the post and notified the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Southern Nevada Counter Terrorism Section, documents said. Internet records tied the post to Tomasinoβs Henderson address.

#JasmineCrockett, who has long railed against the decay of the #USA in terms that makes us all admire her
But, here, her words are reduced
She is reduced to saying *the barest fucking obvious* about the *most simple, essential aspects of rule of #law*
Is anyone listening?
We are, here
But the larger part of the country, out there, uncomprehending
10 years now of warning about the rise of #MAGA
Now reduced. To saying the fucking obvious. And wondering if anyone is listening

I think what makes me the most upset with the Democrats leadership is the fact that they have SO many impactful players sitting on their bench. Why isn't Jasmine Crockett leading? Why isn't Chris Murphy leading? Why isn't AOC leading? Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omer, Pramila Jayapal, Greg Caesar, Cory Booker, Max Frost... there are more and more.
And we're stuck waiting for Chuck Schumer to finally be willing to fight against his "friends."
It's infuriating.

America's Gestapo.
"ICE is checking documents on the subway. ICE is outside New York public libraries that hold English-as-a-second-language classes. ICE agents handcuffed a U.S. citizen who tried to intervene in a detention in Harlem. ICE vehicles are parked outside Columbia. (1/2)

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

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.

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.

i wasn't so exercised at the time, but i now agree that Bush v. Gore was the beginning of our long catastrophe.

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?
