Saw that Microsoft saying it’s a website’s fault if your password gets swept up by Recall if the site doesn’t cloak the password entry field following “standard internet protocols” which completely ignores the accessibility case for showing someone what they’ve typed in to their password field. Pretty sure every password manager lets you do this, and a ton of sites as well.

What a head-in-the-sand take.

Analysis

by William Lawrence:

The IDF has ignored US advice on how to avoid the mass killing of civilians in Gaza & hasn't even implemented its own existing avoidance policies. "There’s a huge disagreement on strategy now.

"The US has given Israel carte blanche up till now & continues to ship light weapons."

It's absolutely clear to the Palestinians that "the US is doing next to nothing to save them from the onslaught of the Israeli forces."

@DrALJONES ....although I think if that were actually true (I absolutely do not), Rafah and all of Gaza would already be completely razed and bulldozed smooth, the inhabitants gone completely. Perhaps the only thing that has stopped that from being true is the US.

Will go to jail?
Trump could potentially face imprisonment if he’s convicted, though most first-time offenders in non-violent cases are sentenced to probation and fines instead. The decision ultimately lies with Judge Merchan, who is not required to imprison Trump if he’s convicted by a jury.
The 34 charges Trump faces are all considered class E felonies in New York, the lowest tier of felony charges in the state, which carry a maximum sentence of four years each.

Joe Biden's claim that Hamas’s October 7 attacks were “driven by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people" is ahistorical and dangerous. In fact, Jewish history shows that antisemitism is a Western problem.

@DeeGLloyd @mondoweiss @palestine @israel ..agree 100%....I didn't read the article because headline is...just wrong. And I'm loath to take the time to read. The "Jewish Problem" dates way, way, back....long before there was a "the west". Nobody (virtually) likes what's happening in Israel/Palestine now....getting to a solution to this iteration of "the Jewish Problem", which has eluded humanity since forever, sadly's gonna take time.

A must-read article from Anne Applebaum. It has been obvious for a while that pro-Trump social media is mostly foreign propaganda. The irony of using “America First” to sabotage America is no doubt something foreign trolls find amusing.

Fear, cynicism, nihilism, and apathy, coupled with disgust and disdain for democracy: that is what modern autocrats sell and there are far too many people falling for it.

@joeinwynnewood ....hard to win a general when your party isn't behind you. The sheer volume of horrors and their depravity concerning trumpo is bleeding thru the conservative media firewall to many GOP voters....the non-cult members see what he has in mind for admin 2.0, and like not a bit of it. Haley is no prize, mind you...maga of a different stripe. But still maga. Just hard to win with a cleaved party...

The tools that flipped the House in 2018, defeated Trump in 2020 and stopped the supposed “red wave” in 2022 were powered by grassroots donations. If you can, pitch in to power the tools that will end Trump’s political career and the MAGA movement in November. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/majority-over-maga?refcode=mastodon20240504directpost&source=mastodon

History lesson 2nd of April of 1982

(which will probably cost me Argentinean followers)

43 years ago, after almost 6 murderous years in power, the Argentinean dictatorship found itself in dire straits (not the band).

The formerly pampered Argentinean middle class had started to turn their back on them, not so much because of the thousands of killed, disappeared and tortured persons, but because they had run out of international credit and the debt fuelled Sweet Money party had ended, …

His cult followers, in the millions, still a minority of Americans, the vast majority of voters more and more see trumpo for what he is (pick your own adjectives). When he opens his mouth, appears in court, etc, people move away.....

@Nonilex ...what's nagging me is how, why, who managed to present these facts - most/all clearly known at trial date - which then lead to a conviction and egregious sentence, rather than having this tossed out and a reprimand issued the prosecutor's office for bringing such a flawed case to court.....

    @lovelylovely ....you're right....actually was a stunning rebuke of trump how well Haley did, and more and more have gop'ers say they'll not vote for him. Not to say we shouldn't keep hammering hard everyday to get out the Dem vote, can't risk a single voter!!
