The former US Ambassador #Gifford to #Denmark discusses here how good an #ally Denmark was to the #USA

"I would go to the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister, the Minister of Defense and ask on behalf of the USA to send their Danish young men and women:

- To go to Iraq to fight ISIS (and die)
- To help go and remove chemical weapons from Syria
- To go fight Ebola in Africa

AND EVERY SINGLE TIME, DENMARK SAID YES, AND THEY SAID YES WITHOUT HESITATION."

No Matter What / Nonostante Tutto for #windowfriday

“Each step forwards to become the person we are makes it harder to go backwards, to return to the shadowy, private world of closed doors and shuttered windows. The experience, the awakening of one’s true self, after being so long suppressed, can never be adequately explained with language.”

– Lili Elbe

It felt pretty fitting to see the flag with everything crumbling around it. Hopefully from the crumbling we can build something new.

Recently I boosted a couple of links about cloudflare doing some sort of password re-use analysis on passwords they saw through their WAF. This was not a technical post. It was a call to attention. Some of the responses I got suggested that my post was misleading or blowing this way out of proportion. I assure you that neither of these are true.

Don't focus so much on the idea that #cloudflare has access to passwords that come through their systems. In better times I'd welcome such an effort. At least they didn't chastize someone who really loved a silly movie, like Netflix did long ago. Instead, focus on the fact that they are a company based in the United States meaning they are subject to the whim of a fascist regime that is proving it doesn't care about the letter of the law.

I'm not concerned about my password security for the sites that transit their service. I am a cishet middle class white male. I'm pretty low on the target list.

*** I AM concerned about the password security for at risk populations who access sites crucial for them, that transit through cloudflare. I'm concerned about the LGBTQIA+ population in the United States. I'm concerned about pregnant women. I'm concerned about Jews, and Muslims, and Bhuddists, and everyone else who doesn't fit into the narrow worldview of the fascist reich that is the republican party and their bootlickers. The FBI, Justice Department, State Department, etc no longer serve the american people. They serve an emperor. This is a time of great danger any website or service that attracts at risk populations should seriously consider if using some of cloudflare's features is worth it, or if they should take their business elsewhere.

Continued thread

#America is now firmly in a post-#truth, post-#law fascist authoritarian dictatorship. The only question is how obedient the #US #Military will be to an illegal order.

Our nearest #neighbour and (former) closest #ally is now the single biggest threat to the sovereignty of #Canada. It's time to start acting like it -- it's time to #Organize.

It's time to take the advice posted in this account seriously, and get started TODAY with organizing in your #community.
