George Carlin famously said that politics and economy are "a big club and you ain't in it."
The #Epstein files are showing how right he was, especially this one, in which Epstein cackles with his pal Peter Thiel about how #Brexit was "just the beginning" of their plans to destroy governments and institute a "return to tribalism."
They elected Trump knowing that he is a corrupt/evil imbecile who destroys anything he touches.

By any measure, the F.B.I.’s search of an election center in Fulton County, Ga., last week was extraordinary.
Agents seized truckloads of 2020 ballots, as Trump harnessed the levers of government to not only buttress his false claims of widespread voter fraud,
but also to try to build a criminal case against those he believes wronged him.
What happened the next day was in some ways even more unusual, The New York Times has learned.
Behind closed doors, Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, met with some of the same F.B.I. agents,
members of the bureau’s field office in Atlanta, which is conducting the election inquiry, three people with knowledge of the meeting said.
They could not say why Ms. Gabbard, who also appeared on site at the search, was there, but her continued presence has raised eyebrows given that her role overseeing the nation’s intelligence agencies does not include on-site involvement in criminal investigative work.
Question for US legal things knowers RE Minneapolis and lawyering up.
My sister and spouse are actively helping vulnerable community members with things like rides etc. She’s been told that if she is detained that she’ll need to give her specific lawyer’s name and direct contact info, so she’s considering finding someone to have on retainer. Probably obviously, that’s not a straightforward thing to search for.
Does anyone with *specific and direct knowledge of these things* have any applicable information/guidance or local to MPLS recommendations that I can pass on?
Edit: June’s advice linked here about the National Lawyer's Guild seems to be exactly what she needed. Thanks for boosting! mspsocial.net/@june/1160020958…

Jennifer Brooks: "An avalanche of outerwear poured in."
“A couple of weeks ago, I was at Whipple, seeing if there was anything I could do,” said Rachel Gerdes, whose Instagram account now directs her 40,000 followers to Haven Watch and other mutual aid groups who are raising funds and supplies for people who are too afraid to leave their homes to shop, work or go to school.
Suddenly, she said, “They released someone in front of the Whipple Building in no winter clothes. It was freezing cold. She was just out in the cold.”
Gerdes approached the shivering woman and asked if she needed help. The woman said she had no way to get home. The light-rail station is half a mile from Whipple. A long way to walk without a coat in January.

On a turnout of 53%, 93% of Resident Doctors have voted to continue their campaign of industrial action for another six months.... suggesting the absence of trust in Wes Streeting continues.
The Q. will now be whether the BMA can continue to (broadly) win the public argument on doctors pay - having navigated through the 'winter crisis' they may be able to keep people on side... but equally may have undermined the perception of their importance to the NHS?

These professionals are being employed more and more, many working beyond their scope, eg. in GP, seeing undifferentiated patients (against the Leng recommendations). Patients have died due to PAs working above their competencies.38 Degrees
And this week's key political Q. is likely to be:
How much did Keir Starmer know & when, about Peter Mandelson's links with Jeffery Epstein?
Whatever he did or didn't know this is unlikely to play well for Starmer, who should have been a little more sceptical about Mandelson's desire to return to politics for the third time!

I love how the #UK is speedrunning Canada and the United States right now, where the shit-tier centrist underwear stains are more terrified of the Left winning and just completely replacing them than they are of the country going open fascist.

Hansen’s disease (leprosy) is treatable today in large part because of the work of Alice Ball, a 23-year-old chemist whose breakthrough turned a toxic folk remedy into the world’s first effective treatment.
Her science saved lives — but her legacy was nearly erased.

Report: A Minnesotan man was treated for a shattered skull after an encounter with ICE agents.
The agents said he had “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall” while trying to escape their custody.
But nurses who treated him said, "There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall, [given] the sheer number of skull fractures... & internal bleeding".

Yes, it's Monday.
Right now I am listening to my new favorite album: Bebo Valdés & Javier Colina, Live at the Village Vanguard.
This is Cuban jazz at its finest: mambo and chachachá. If you ever saw or listened to The Buena Vista Social Club and liked it, this would be your thing. Particularly, the song El Manisero (The Peanut Vendor).
If you have a music streaming vendor, look for the album. Or watch this and enjoy:

Call For A Toxicology Study - Portland Chemical Gas Attacks
Trying to help call attention to this matter of public interest.
Many people, including young children, in Portland have received very heavy chemical gas exposure over the last few days. There are reports of symptoms including respiratory distress and disorientation.
McNadoMD (see below) is putting out the call for medical toxicology experts to assist with analysis and identification in this public health matter.

Hey #emergencymedicine #toxicology peeps! Anyone in PDX interested in a fun experiment being run right now might consider doing a study of heavy metal levels in the blood of people gassed by ICE during recent and upcoming marches.McNadoMD (Mastodon 🐘)

in reply to Jason Fayre • • •I've used WinSCP for more than a decade.
Does everything I need to manage moving files to/from my 3 websites.
All drag n' drop type work... but you can set up command line transfers also - but I stopped doing that kind of work 20ish years ago. So I have no guidance, in that respect.
Good luck with your search.

in reply to Jason Fayre • • •I alternate between winscp and filezilla when I need a gui for various reasons.
Winscp is Alright(tm) but it does have some quirks here and there. It works better if you use the dual pane interface and not the explorer one.
Is the subscription model thing Filezilla Pro? Because the actual foss client is still very much available and will probably continue to be.AFAIK the Pro sub just gives you S3 and other cloud storage support
