A temporary solution has been achieved that works for us.
Gonna be an odd week that's for sure. Or however long this AT&T outage lasts.

So AT&T said a cable's been cut and they also said it's going to take a week to fix.
The outage map on their site says there's no outages, but the app says otherwise, and I can tell you right now.
Sure love my net provider just getting worse and worse.

Gentle reminder that if you worry you're not doing enough, it's not because you aren't. It's because there's too much to do for only one person to bear. You'll never be able to do it all and do it alone.
Whatever you can, whenever you can, with whatever you have is always the correct amount.

If you intend to record ICE on your phone, make sure mobile data upload to the cloud is enabled.
Per this report ICE has detained several witnesses
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Added a few more games and finished up entries for a bunch more on my big spreadsheet of Cool Free PC Games.
Considering that some are multi-game entries, that's over 350+ things to play, many of which are full, retail-worthy times.
If you've got any kind of PC, videogames are just kinda great.

a smart evil person would have thrown that ICE agent under the bus so fast it made us dizzy, just absolutely One Bad Appled him across the country to soothe the anxious white folks. instead they got on TV and pointed to a video of him not getting run over and said "omg look at him getting run over"
Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are.
And MAGA knows it.

I see this repeated a lot but it's not right. These people need to believe the protesters are paid because they've bought into a worldview where the only people who *actually* oppose them are shadowy elites and their acolytes. If "real Americans" oppose them sincerely, their worldview collapses.
You hear this a lot obviously from conservatives or “non political” types whenever a protest happens and it’s really borne out of their deep lack of convictions and cowardice. They can’t possibly believe that other people could actually believe things or could care about something
lol, Paul Allen, the radio voice of the Vikings, apparently believes that anti-ICE protesters are paid. C’mon, man. Literally go outside.
