Who runs your 3D printer? Not Disney, Apple, ICE. The factory built oligarchy. It needs centralization. 3D printers change the balance of power in Ukraine. Factories are single points of failure. Resistance needs mass-creativity. Make the factory & Capital irrelevant. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEsn...

You need to hear what Chicago is doing to fight back against ICE. And then copy it.

Impulsively, I bought a modern replica Amiga 2000 motherboard in EATX form factor. With the crazy price of vintage A2000s, this is probably my only opportunity to get a big box Amiga to go with my A1000s and A500s. I plan to put it in a Gateway case as a what-if piece. Assembly will take months.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

“The device’s detonation will be triggered as soon as the mailbox is next opened,” the emailed threat read. Although the bomb turned out to be a hoax, judges say the threats and intimidation targeting them and their families in recent weeks are very real.

Musk and Trump have contributed to a rise in death threats and intimidation against judges. In Charleston, S.C., police were dispatched to the home of one of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s sisters after a threat claimed a pipe bomb had been placed in her mailbox.

Reports are coming in that Trump-era ICE agents have arrested even American-born citizens during raids. If you’re just heading to work or the grocery store, how would you prove you’re an American? This is getting out of hand—Americans have a right to privacy.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation

The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.
