Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. 

Don't think it won't happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. 

Over half of those deported were US citizens.

Yet, the Italian-Americans and German-Americans, including recent immigrants, weren't put into camps during WW2. I guess, if it's all White, it's alright.

@The_Caretaker My grandfather told me the story about how the signage for the German-American Club was changed to the American Club. But you could always read the word German several decades later if you looked closely. The Irish side of my ancestors were discriminated against and then the German side had to be very low key, during WW2.

BlueSky post from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@ocasio-ortez.house.gov), on January 21, 2025 at 7:19pm:

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent.
Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer.
Ask for one.

The image shows two scruffy, light-colored labradoodles cuddled up together on what appears to be a couch or chair. Their coats are a mix of tan and creamy white fur with a wiry texture. One dog has its head resting on its paws, while the other is nuzzled close by, both looking content and relaxed in a cozy setting.

JUST IN Attorneys general from 18 states have sued President Trump to block an executive order that refuses to recognize the U.S.-born children of unauthorized immigrants as citizen, per NYP

During a press conference Tuesday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta described Trump's order as "a terrifying tone to set for his second term," adding, "I have one message for President Trump, I'll see you in court."

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Hey folks, unless you’re using an end-to-end encrypted messaging system, your DMs are readable (given sufficient incentive).

Please read up on whether your messaging system is *end-to-end* encrypted, not just “encrypted”, and think about whether you trust the developers to write good code and not lie to you about how things work.

Mastodon DMs are *not* end-to-end encrypted! You should not write anything on Mastodon that you don’t want published in the open (given sufficient incentive).

Some systems *can* be end-to-end encrypted but are not by default. RCS, FB Messenger, and Instagram DMs fall into this category AFAICT. Some systems don’t even offer it, like Discord.

Please consider moving your private messages to a system that is private by design! I’m partial to Signal, but feel free to choose your own.

(you know this but for people reading it)

As noted in https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651, iMessage is effectively end to end encrypted if you enable “advanced data protection” in iCloud settings. Otherwise while the messages themselves are, the backups of those messages aren’t.

The only reason I’m aware of not to do this is that you can’t recover your data (eg by calling support) if you lose access to it.

But this looking more and more real as time goes on, and if so, it will solve one of my biggest complaints about the Internet: how to manage digital identity.

@julia Don’t think so. Actually, the project is being lead by @timbl himself, the man who founded the World Wide Web.

And there’s a project to integrate #Solid with #ActivityPub known as @activitypods.

"Project 2025 is the 'Unitary Executive' theory of an American president actually being a dictator.

Which the Republican Party first began advocating after most Americans caved in fear after 9/11, and I began warning of in a 'Future of the Brave' a few years later.

But sadly since that time it has been one crumbling step at a time.

And we are the last one.

So that we may soon discover we've already surrendered."

There have been times when I didn't want to know a business's politics, but now I need to. National, local, I need to know who I'm giving my money to.

And as much as I can I won't be contributing to this economy, going to try to do more local, should start using cash a lot more.

@mike @Madmonkey Oh dear. It’s suddenly “dated”…

I'm trying experiments in photogrammetry, where you take a zillion overlapping pictures and spend three weeks with a fancy graphics card trying to get the hacked experimental drivers to run the fancy meshing algorithms working without wrecking the standard OS video drivers and then you give up and send it all to a cloud service and an hour later they send you a solid object model that you can then modify in a CAD program.
Here you can see the radiator and fans, front left tire, air cleaner, and some of the fast idle and coasting dashpots on the carb. From above, the scan is good enough to see the Datsun logo on the valve cover, and the clearance between the engine and radiator and the distributor/engine clearance on the other side of the engine are pretty good. The area around the carb is messy IRL so I'm not surprised it's messy here. Just no way to get a camera into all the crannies.
I have a friend who works at caltech and has access to a free robot arm, as in they're trying to give it away, and it sure would do a great job of automated scanning of objects.
Unfortunately it weighs about 3200 kilograms...
it does live video, so if you could capture and process that

I was looking at self-contained handhelds when I fell into that one. Since it works through the phone, just screenshot whatever you want to keep for reference. A handheld with a smaller screen and the ability to save to an SD card was over 4x the cost.

Trump administration canceling flights for nearly 1,660 Afghan refugees, say U.S official, advocate
Jonathan Landay

Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. government to resettle in the U.S.,
-- including family members of active duty U.S. military personnel,
are having their #flights #canceled under Donald Trump's order
💥suspending U.S. refugee programs,
a U.S. official and a leading refugee resettlement advocate said on Monday.

The group includes ⭐️unaccompanied minors awaiting reunification with their families in the U.S.

as well as
⭐️Afghans at risk of Taliban retribution because they fought for the former U.S.-backed Afghan government,

said Shawn VanDiver, head of the #AfghanEvac coalition of U.S. veterans and advocacy groups and the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The U.S. decision also leaves in limbo thousands of other Afghans who have been approved for resettlement as refugees in the U.S. but have not yet been assigned flights from Afghanistan or from neighboring Pakistan, they said.

"Afghans and advocates are panicking," said VanDiver.
"I've had to recharge my phone four times already today because so many are calling me.

"We warned them that this was going to happen, but they did it anyway.
We hope they will reconsider," he said of contacts with Trump's transition team
