Same thing every time: 1. Reframe the victim as the villain 2. Make the state the injured party 3. Turn critique into complicity (“oh so you side with terrorists”) 4. Expand blame to an entire out-group 5. Fuse to a larger us-against-them story to keep any alarmed within the base from defecting

Important messaging. AOC seeks to stave off civil war. Might be useful to say that.

I think I’m going to hold off until next week. Tonight would just be a lot of incoherent cussing. I’m so fucking pissed right now. Watching the administration try to spin another US citizen that they murdered as a domestic terrorist is enraging. I’m also still expecting something to pop with Iran.

@alienghic @dilmandila Hi Diane! And yes, I have a Debian machine that is fully disconnected and has been from the beginning. It stores my backups. I can use apt-offline to shuttle package updates to and from it (I do so over NNCP but you can use whatever filesystem you like). https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10186-more-topics-on-store-and-forward-possibly-airgapped-zfs-and-non-zfs-backups-with-nncp is one article that talks talks about that one.

@dilmandila

Also if you're interested in making it easier manage files and synchronize stuff without continuous internet @jgoerzen has written a bunch about synchronization tools that can work over removable media or short range LANs.

One of the core tools is something called nncp, and it has a tag on his blog

https://changelog.complete.org/archives/tag/nncp

He's used it to do things like synchronize git repositories https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10274-distributed-asynchronous-git-syncing-with-nncp

Or provide email that can work over removable media or when a mobile device happens to be in range.

On news that Todd Blanche shut down civil rights investigation into killing of Renee Good--remember that Greg Bovino gets orders directly from White House. The rules of engagement that led to her killing came from someone in Stephen Miller's immediate vicinity. www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/07/t...

Time to Ask if Stephen Miller ...
Time to Ask if Stephen Miller Has Authorized Assault and Murder of Peaceful ICE Observers - emptywheel

Given how consistently Greg Bovino is at the scene of unjustified violence against ICE observers, including today's shooting, and given Bovino's refusal to answer whether Stephen Miller has given him instructions about violence against protestors, it's time to ask whether Miller has ordered this violence.

"Can you catch COVID on top of COVID? A doctor explains why it is, unfortunately, a possible scenario and what you can do to protect yourself"

"Many people assume that having long COVID means they’re still ‘immune’ to getting the virus again. But sadly, this isn’t the case."

"COVID is still with us and it continues to evolve. So, it’s worth continuing some of those protective habits, like testing if you feel unwell, wearing a mask in busy indoor spaces and keeping up with vaccinations."
