Good Trouble Lives On: National Day of Action


Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.

On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.

From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.

Join us for a national day of nonviolent action as we rally, march, host teach-ins, press conferences, and vigils to demand that Congress fight back and protect our freedom to vote. This is a moment of moral clarity and collective power.

We march in peace. We act in power.

Good Trouble Lives On.

oy, John Lewis has been gone for five years already?

I'm glad he was spared this shit show, but he'd be proud of No Kings.

Trump's "big beautiful bill"
Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Households making $23,000 a year or less will lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance.

🚨 the samsung galaxy one UI 7 update has added a slight tilt effect to the app switcher carousel 🚨

🚨 i repeat: the recent app overview now has a 3D card tilt effect 🚨

this is genuinely in my top 5 favourite features so far

as much as I want more people to use Linux for privacy and freedoms sake, I know that mainstream adoption will be the death of Linux.

You already see it happening with the dumbing down of GNOME desktop environment.

who? o_0 And yet, another project which prefers not to say on their main page what actually is it.

I'm left to presume, that it's yet another distro based on Fedora, right?

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

bazzite is hardly the only distro that would be affected. Valve will very likely migrate the steam client to 64 bit like they did with macOS. Most importantly, this proposal, if it goes through, would be applied two iterations of fedora from now. Plenty of time for Valve to update or Bazzite to find an alternative

Postbox & Zen Postbox Add-On Updates!


New releases fix a couple of problems. The add-ons should now work with both the stable and development releases.

Zen Postbox 1.2 [Download] - this is the one that adds a button to the message composer. This release fixes the missing images for the animated backgrounds.

Postbox 1.2 [Download] - this just adds the stylesheet, it doesn't add any UI.

Thanks to @Kevin for helping me troubleshoot it!

Would be cool to get this to work with displaying these in wafrn since it supports colors and some html
in reply to wakest

That probably won't work unless Friendica changes how it federates content to wafrn. Like most other platforms only the plain text is sent, the <span> gets stripped out. If I recall the <span> does go through to Mastodon and Tumblr but the postbox class gets stripped out.

But I had the opposite problem with Diaspora and Hubzilla where the raw BBcode or Markdown was getting sent.

You could talk to the Friendica devs about trying to get the formatted HTML sent, then you'd just need the postbox stylesheet on the wafrn server to display them properly.



This is the most measles cases in 40 years. It's more than all the years combined since Canada eliminated the virus in 1998 - a status we will likely lose in 2025. And it's all thanks to anti-vaxx rhetoric (and policy) and Covid blowing up immune systems.


This is very aggressively (perhaps too aggressively) stated, but he's absolutely right. People are all worried their ideas are gonna be "stolen", and my friends, I can assure you that won't be the problem.

Mass Shooting at Tulsa Juneteenth Festival Sparks Calls for Action


One dead, seven wounded as violence disrupts Black freedom celebration in Historic Greenwood.

TULSA, Okla. — Black Tulsans are reeling after a mass shooting disrupted Saturday night’s Juneteenth festival in Historic Greenwood, leaving a 22-year-old man dead and seven others wounded.

For hours, thousands of festival attendees grooved to the music and enjoyed each other’s company as the community celebrated Tulsa’s annual Juneteenth festival. But just before 11 p.m., the celebratory mood on Black Wall Street turned to chaos as gunfire sent hundreds fleeing for their lives. The chaos included some falling to the ground and being trampled. Victims hit by bullets ranged in age from 17 to 80...
