Meet your local gestapo, PDX edition:

I'd be down to contribute a day of coding a month to a forked Mastodon with a participatory governance model if that helps build an alternative to Gargon's Little-Linus fiefdom. #ForkOff https://medium.com/@cassolotl/i-left-mastodon-yesterday-4c5796b0f548

I'm convinced https://www.remakethelastjedi.com/ is a tongue-in-cheek scam to get money out of buttmad nerds and I really hope it works

US #immigration authorities temporarily close #Portland, #OR #ICE office in the face of strident protests. Good on Stumptown, a city for which I retain , considerable affection, having lived there 9 years https://www.npr.org/2018/06/21/622243400/ice-temporarily-closes-portland-office-amid-tumult-of-protests-across-u-s

From Twitter:

"How to sabotage ICE:
- Film them whenever possible
- Pour sugar on new cement to prevent it from setting
- Pour bleach in ICE vehicle gas tanks
- Knife those fucking ICE tires
- Put a potatoe way up in that exhaust pipe
- If you smash glass do it last"

For the record ICE vans tend to be white and have the DHS emblem on them somewhere, they don't necessarily say "ICE"

Hi #SocialCoop, I'm a PhD student in computer science (doing programming languages research) and some kind of libertarian socialist. I've been living in #Paris for almost a year, but I'm moving back to #Boston soon. I'm new to participating in cooperatives, but have some background in labor activism and organizing.

some assorted interests:
#anarchism
#socialism
#coops
#politics
#ecology
#municipalism
#programminglanguages
#typetheory
#rust
#freesoftware
#RPGs
#tabletop #gaming

#introduction

Many #coop success stories I've read about seem to be about taking root in a community and meeting needs that aren't going away anytime soon: food, houses, childcare, etc.

Can #techcoops ever follow that model? Most tech work uses ephemeral tools to meet transient needs, and tech firms are rootless by default. Are there any meaningful generalizations we can draw from the exceptions?

Guerrilla Gardening - Seed Bombs: A Guide To Their Various Forms and Functions

This country has too many churches and strip malls. They should be replaced with libraries and public gardens.

Archive.org saved the list of every ICE and DHS staff who has it listed on their LinkedIn page:

do with this information what you will. I suggest looking up your local officers and excluding them from all public places when you see them

it'd be a real shame if these companies running child concentration camps had their poor switchboards and edge routers absolutely swamped by people looking for accountability...

OPEN THE MOTHERFUCKING BORDERS

Guys I’m literally starving. Please help. my paypal: paypal.me/JourneiG

This is the last thing I'm going to say on that place:

Black people, women, trans people, and disabled people should not have to hide ourselves to avoid harassment.

If you don't want us blocking and avoiding your nazi-land en masse, if you don't want your software to be associated with nazis, come up with ways to stop the nazis from harassing us rather than crying TO US about your precious software.

Give us some confidence in your software's ability to not be abused by nazis. Duh.

marginalized person: i have bad associations with this software bc majority of my interactions involve blocking white supremacist troll users and there are security gaps that make me uncomfortable

yall: it's just software!!!!!!!!!!! masto users can be toxic too!!!!!!
