A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.
Moment of Gratitude: CloudFlare
CloudFlare saved the Internet Archive servers from a DDOS yesterday.
Max rate of this DDOS attack was 525 Gbps (44.93 Mpps) of a "TCP flood"
@archive.org does not have enough bandwidth to fend off that kind of attack = wouldbe bad saturday.
Thank you #CloudFlare
Yeah, so this is not supposed to happen.
the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
Update on this. Apparently the bill just passed the House... 409-2.

BREAKING: The House passed a bill that limits judges' ability to block the Trump administration's unconstitutional actions nationwide.
This bill is a threat to the rule of law and endangers all of our rights — the Senate must reject it.

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham
When I read the details of what ICE did in this case—showing up at the house of a young protestor’s parents, texting them out of the blue—a wave of familiarity washed over me. It eerily reminds me of the way China seeks to intimidate student activists and journalists

This is completely fucked up. I know everything is fucked up, but THIS is why universities need to stand up and fight, not cave like Columbia did. NOTHING will satisfy them, and all the capitulation just leads to more demands and humiliation.

But... but... but... the DOJ said that Elon had no authority other than to advise the President.
Right? Trump's DOJ lawyers said straight-up in an official court filing that Musk was NOT an employee of DOGE and has "no actual or formal authority." So ignore the shit out of his bullshit tweets and threats. He ain't the boss of you..
