The classic case of "resisting arrest" by involuntarily responding to the violence done to you by cops. If a cop became a doctor they'd call your knee reflex test an assault on their person.

They would re-crown themselves as "the resistance" and spend another 4 years calling out Trump for policies that they also support but with a fig leaf. They would do basically nothing material, just as they have done for decades when out of the white house. They will demand that you bear witness to disaster and trauma but not actually organize against it, they would tell you to instead place all your faith for a resolution in their hands. Just give them four more years, bro. "At least we aren't Republicans".

Yes because it is about, ultimately, making the major clients incompatible with vaultwarden on both a legal and technical level.

A likely outcome if they don't reverse course is a split where FOSS Nerfs fork the clients and have to maintain their own versions. That's the outcome Bitwarden wants. This reeks of a bazinga, "how dare they benefit from our work and take our users", which is hilarious for a FOSS ecosystem that almost universally benefits corporations with free labor.

They're trying to argue legal technicalities because acknowledging that they're trying to reduce compatibility with servers like vaultwarden would be bad PR.

Per their new license, anyone that uses their SDK to build a client cannot say, "this is for Bitwarden and compatible servers like vaultwarden". They cannot support those other servers, per their license. Anyone that gets suckered into using their SDK now becomes a force against alternative implementations.

The recent military attacks on the people of Lebanon have increased Netanyahu's popularity. When people talk about Netanyahu being unpopular, they often forget that this is because his government isn't sufficiently meeting demands for blood and retribution and making the Israeli Ubermenschen feel like they are perfectly safe and dominant at all times. Attacks on Lebanon checks all 3 boxes, at least in their minds.

The constitutional amendment that outlawed slavery in the US provided one exception: anyone convicted of a crime.

This was a tool of Jim Crow to maintain a sizeable black slave labor force via disproportionate criminalization of black people and poverty (newly-freed previous slaves were very poor, often illiterate). It was and is a tool of modern racialized hyper-exploited labor via the prison system. And it is likely a tool that US authorities are keeping in their back pocket for the mass criminalization of the homeless.

New York governing authorities are attempting to make the subways into a zone full of police and surveillance. There has been no substantial decrease in safety on the subway. The subways themselves are behind on maintenance but money is going to cops instead of the transit authority. In addition, despite the normalization, there is still actually a pandemic going on that masks prevent the spread of.

I am curious to know the real reasons for the push. Possibly to privatize the subway? Just a grift for cops? At some point in the various administrations there are strategists presenting options and executives making decisions.
