Security folklore of the morning is that no one should share URLs on Signal because it exposes IP addresses and people should use QR codes instead. Please don’t do this! QR codes are much less secure. If you’re concerned about link security, turn off link previews which you can do in Signal settings

I'm not trying to be critical y'all are doing great work. What I'm trying to say is that we need to act on verified information. Untruth is the tool of fascists; we are right because truth is on our side.
We should make sure our efforts are *actually* against fascists not *probably* against them

As an ex journalist I have to say trust an expert when they say an article is wrong.
Generalist journalists have to understand every concept ever presented to them while on time constraints. This is NOT easy work and often mistakes are made, especially on intricate concepts ie chemical composition

The formula is not particularly sinister, I should say. It's not like this is some secret weirdo chemical weapon. It's smoke that is dyed green.

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape.
Dropped his loaded clip.

Feel kinda wierd, heard ICE whistles so ran to the scene and it was just like a couple dudes. No uniforms, said they weren't ICE. No one could really prove they were ICE but someone at this scene of like 200 people said they were, apparently, but I couldn't find who or why.

Bro this sucks. It will be more difficult anyone to carry on my legacy of not actually going there but living nearby and joining student clubs, sneaking into lectures and eventually working there for like 2 months
The U of MN, including libraries, is moving to U card-only access to buildings. Non U affiliates will not be able to freely enter. The statements from U admin are pretty mealy-mouthed, but this is a concrete (if unfortunately necessary) move.

This is anecdotal so take it for what it's worth (nothing) but today on the usually far right dumbshit altmpls subreddit people were bashing the shit out of ICE, and my very very conservative hometown is both very sad and pissed they lost their Mexican restaurant to an ICE raid

The fact that this TRASH ass post has way more likes than replies, even on bluesky, really dampened my already almost extinguished hope for public sentiment in this country.
State and local law enforcement know the communities they serve. They’ve built the trust and know how to keep us safe.
As Minnesotans express their first amendment rights, I encourage you to remain peaceful and know that local law enforcement has one goal in mind: your safety.

I am once again begging y’all to take this advice: ANY organization wanting you to sign up for information is a data gathering that will compromise you at some point.
