Sanchez Estrada’s wife, Maricela Rueda, received a 70-year sentence, longer than most of the other defendants because of her alleged role in a conspiracy to commit obstruction by asking Sanchez Estrada to move the zines after her arrest.
70 years because you asked your husband to move a box of magazines. Meanwhile, if you brutally beat a policeman while invading the Capitol on behalf of Donald Trump, you get a pardon.
There are all kinds of zines. They’re really just cheaply produced magazines for a usually fairly niche interest group. They don’t have to be leftist, though right-wingers usually lack the imagination to produce an interesting zine.
Sounds like the USA needs more immigration.
Your comment suggests, intentionally judging by your comment history, that “Jewish” is opposed to “American”, and that we should suspect all Jews of putting Israel first. You also posted in a previous comment that you wished a man who attacked a synagogue had been more successful. And you suggested that Jewish entertainers tend to be pedophiles. I hope people can see where you’re coming from. This is real antisemitism.
And before anyone accuses me of being an Israel supporter, I find Zionism repellent, I abhor Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and its invasion of Lebanon, and I’m in full sympathy with the Palestinian people. Israel is a sick country right now. But a Jew is not the same thing as a Zionist, and many American Jews feel just as I do about these things.
Everything the Trump administration does must be understood as proceeding from a fascist eugenicist premise that some people are a weak and a burden while others are strong and superior, and only the superior should live and have children. The genetic pinnacle of humanity is seen in such godlike individuals as Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, and Elon Musk, and everyone else needs to die off so humanity can be more like them. The more you can abuse everyone else and make life difficult for them the quicker they’ll die off, they think, and there’s an obvious place where this logic ends up when the goal is to eradicate everyone they consider flawed.
This is why the cruelty is so often the point, and the suffering is no accident.
It may not even be that they advertised kayaking to you. They may just have a very good model of your behaviour that predicts you’re likely to be interested in kayaking.
Almost everything just works after installing sandboxed Google Play Services. For a few apps you have to tweak a setting to turn off some of GrapheneOS’s exploit protections. But I’ve found very few that refuse to run, and nothing indispensable. If you don’t like your main profile having Play Services you can set them up under a second profile or a private area and keep the apps that use them away from your main profile.
There are already enough cases of people showing their papers to ICE and discovering that ICE don’t care and aren’t held to account. But the people supporting it tend to be the “pay no attention until it happens to me” type.
Well at some point the camps will become overcrowded and they’ll want a solution that’s a bit more final.
Iran and the USA were in the middle.of negotiations and very near an agreement when Trump and Netanyahu started this war, killing the Ayatollah and many of the more moderate Iranian government officials who might be more amenable to an agreement. It’s not just a hypothetical but something the USA has done already.
It runs on theft and planet-scale destruction.
You could argue that this is the very nature of capitalism: theft because it always means owners extracting value from other people’s work, and ultimately planet-scale destruction because it depends on infinite growth while externalizing (not paying for) the true costs of its activity.
In that sense, AI companies are just a faster-growing strain of the global cancer that is capitalism.
the AI/drobe warfare age.
Is a drobe used in war a wardrobe?
I live in Canada and still meet older Canadians whose goal is to retire to Florida, even after all we’ve seen from THE USA in the last decade. I don’t understand these people.
“The skilled craft segment of every economy is going to see a boom. You’ve going to have to be doubling and doubling and doubling every single year.”
Doubling every year? For how many years, Jensen? Enough for all these people to finish trade school and make a decades-long career? And how are the AI companies who already can’t see any way to make a profit going to fund this exponential growth in their costs?
He kicked all the remaining left wing out of the Labour Party at a time when left-wing policies were very popular with the members. He has overseen some pretty regressive social policy, particularly in catering to transphobes. He’s a liar and has no charisma. He put Peter Mandelson back in a powerful position though he was known to be a bad guy and an Epstein associate. He has taken Labour to the right, abandoning its base while offering nothing but more of the vaguely Thatchery stuff the UK has suffered from for decades. He committed the government to more austerity than even the Tories had dared to implement, at a time when poverty is a massive problem in the UK. He handed chunks of the NHS to Palantir. Conservatives don’t like him and left-wingers don’t like him and no one trusts him. He’s been so uninspiring that the electorate is sleepwalking towards fascism. Plus there’s the Israel thing and the crackdown on anyone who expresses sympathy with Palestinians. It’d be quicker to list what he has done right.
Edit: This video shows why he was so unlikeable:

It has been around for a few years so there are almost certainly other techniques it doesn’t mention.
I see it as a battle for human rights. Some people have been pushed into the front lines of the battle, but the fascists have us all in their sights. Are the rest of us going to leave them there to fight alone, hoping they win and all our rights stay intact, or are we going to stand and fight with them? If the front line falls the fascists won’t stop there. We really are all in this together.
A great success: the dirty, smelly, green pond with chunks floating on the surface from some cowboy MAGA contractor whose work lasted one week will be a perfect symbol of the USA on its 250th birthday.
i2p is good. I also have my eye on Reticulum.
Let’s hope.
