KNOW THIS: Altadena is a predominantly African-American community community where Black families were redlined into. It’s not the Palisades, but losing homes, livelihoods & generational wealth is equally devastating.
Communities targeted by redlining have historic reasons to distrust government.

President Biden is considering commuting sentences of most, if not all, of the 40 men on federal death row.
If he does commute, they would serve life without parole.
A broad coalition of religious and civil-rights groups has been pressing him to take the step.

I love how virtually all the comments I've seen about the Bsky server slowdown are good-natured jokes and supportive words for the engineers. Everyone gets that it's an excellent team working like crazy in a high-pressure situation—and everyone feels like we're in this together. Heartwarming!
To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

Imagine being so fucking insecure that you:
1. Win the election
2. Win the popular vote
3. Have people literally chanting your name like you're Dear Leader
....and you go still want to go after a fucking pollster who came out with a bad poll?
Sure, it's fascist, but its also just fucking sad.

Investigating people for polls you don't like doesn't seem particularly free speechy.
