“They threw my dad out like an animal, and now I have no dad.”

Paulino Martin San Pedro was an Oregonian. He was a beloved community member. This administration murdered him.

His family has a gofundme here: www.gofundme.com/f/keep-pauli...

Punk rock is when you ask autocomplete-on-steroids to replicate patterns normalized across popular artists’ work, right? “It resists ideology” is one of the most hilarious things anyone has said about the Ideology Repetition Machine.

He made a fake ICE deportation tip line. Then a kindergarten teacher called. A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the “banality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

The thing about this is that we gotta know this woman's name & where she works. Then again releasing that info endangers this family & others in her orbit. Then again they are in continuous danger while this woman walks the earth let alone works in a school www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

nanonext 1.8.0 nanonext 1.8.0 adds a low-level streaming HTTP/WebSocket server to R's web infrastructure, with TLS support, new async primitives, and redesigned documentation.

nanonext 1.8.0 is out - R now has a streaming HTTP/WebSocket server with bundled TLS.

Runs alongside Shiny in the same process. We're already using it at Posit to explore new real-time capabilities.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Mass abductions in Woodburn shift focus for farmworkers’ union’s approach to legislative session The union had plans for addressing farmworkers' wages and collective bargaining rights, now they are solely focused on immigrant justice and safety

In February, legislators will return to Salem. PCUN had a legislative strategy to press for higher wages for farmworkers and secure their collective bargaining rights.

Then more than 2,000 of her fellow Woodburn residents disappeared — abducted by masked thugs carrying guns and badges.

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

They locked their key fob on the car. Protesters paid tow truck drivers not to help them lol

Councilor Ryan says he has to be "a voice for those who are voiceless" on this city council, which is a wild rhetorical position given the Owendoff news that just came out and validated everything we already more or less knew about him

it is a credit to @councilordunphy.bsky.social for stepping up and even more so to @councilorkanal.bsky.social for passing the nomination, even if I am furious at the reasons he had to do so.

this was honestly a really ugly and deeply disappointing process. but it brought a lot out into the light.

That city council president election was a shitshow and has given me even more respect for @councilorkanal.bsky.social. I’d hoped to see him as president but am glad to have him representing D2.

It's worth reflecting on why Dunphy is acceptable but Kanal is not. The answers might be uncomfortable.
